The universe has a body and soul and evolves through cosmic time. As microcosms of stardust, we do the same.
Deepak Chopra
Image
For thousands of years, human beings have been obsessed with beauty, truth, love, honor, altruism, courage, social relationships, art, and God. They all go together as subjective experiences, and it's a straw man to set God up as the delusion. If he is, then so is truth itself or beauty itself.

Your inner strength is invulnerable to fear.
Deepak Chopra

Forgiveness is attention without judgment. It heals the one who forgives and the one who is forgiven.
Deepak Chopra

Sometimes, setting better boundaries and practicing the tools of conscious communication can be transformative. In some cases, ending a relationship may be necessary.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Being more aware creates responsibility. What does responsibility mean? It means the ability to respond. The more conscious you are in your ability to respond, the more creative you'll be.
Deepak Chopra
Image
If you look at all the notions we accept about who we are, you find that they are all based upon our perceptual experiences.
Deepak Chopra

Love and meaningful relationships are vital to physical and emotional well-being.
Deepak Chopra

Experiencing the silence of meditation doesn't have to be complicated. You can lie on the floor with arms and legs outspread, paying attention to the sensations in your body. You can observe the outflow and inflow of your breath. You can also go to a park and let the impressions of nature calm your brain.
Deepak Chopra
Image
One person's enemy is another person's best friend. My favorite food might give you a rash.
Deepak Chopra
Image
A simple way to make sure that you are getting a balanced diet is to include the six tastes (sweet, salty, sour, pungent, bitter, and astringent) in each meal. Along with the six tastes, filling your plate with the colors of the rainbow promotes a long and healthy life.
Deepak Chopra

The world sometimes feels like an insane asylum. You can decide whether you want to be an inmate or pick up your visitor's badge. You can be in the world but not engage in the melodrama of it you can become a spiritual being having a human experience thoroughly and fully.
Deepak Chopra

Wherever you go in the midst of movement and activity, carry your stillness with you. Then the chaotic movement around you will never overshadow your access to the reservoir of creativity, the field of pure potentiality.
Deepak Chopra
