More quotes by Deepak Chopra

Image
Life is the coexistence of all opposite values. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, up and down, hot and cold, here and there, light and darkness, birth and death. All experience is by contrast, and one would be meaningless without the other.
Deepak Chopra
Image
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
We must go beyond the constant clamor of ego, beyond the tools of logic and reason, to the still, calm place within us: the realm of the soul.
Deepak Chopra
Image
What people think of you is none of your business.
Deepak Chopra

Mr. Gorbachev initiated Glasnost, Perestroika, so he was already, you know, way disenchanted with the rigid Communist ideology, and he was looking to become an international leader. He was more accepted actually outside of the Communist Soviet Union than inside.
Deepak Chopra

Replace fear-based thinking with love-based thinking. Every time you’re making a choice, ask yourself if it’s going to cultivate the experience of unity and love or the experience of separation and stress.
Deepak Chopra
Image
People need to know that they have all the tools within themselves. Self-awareness, which means awareness of the body, awareness of their mental space, awareness of their relationships - not only with each other, but with life and the ecosystem.
Deepak Chopra
Image
If you want to be happy, make someone else happy. If you want to find the right person in your life, be the right person. If you want to see change in the world, become the change you want to see.
Deepak Chopra
Image
We are the universe pretending to be individuals.
Deepak Chopra
Image
On some dimension or other, every event in life can be causing only one of two things: either it is good for you, or it is bringing up what you need to look at in order to create good for you. Evolution is win-win…life is self-correcting.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Every cell in your body is seeking fulfillment through joy, beauty, love and appreciation.
Deepak Chopra
Image
The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
Deepak Chopra
Image
One thing we can do is make the choice to view the world in a healthy way. We can choose to see the world as safe with only moments of danger rather than seeing the world as dangerous with only moments of safety.
Deepak Chopra
Image
... reality stands before them, yet they don't see it, because what you call real is just the mirror image of your expectations.
Deepak Chopra
Image
By not paying attention to your body, you are putting it in the same predicament as a neglected child. How can a child be expected to develop normally if the parents pay no attention, if they ignore its cries for help, and remain indifferent to whether their child is happy or unhappy?
Deepak Chopra
Image
Craving security is the cause of insecurity. Freedom is knowing that the only point of arrival is now.
Deepak Chopra
Image
The universe has much bigger plans for you than you ever dreamed of for yourself.
Deepak Chopra
Image
The beginning of suffering is often a refusal to look at the situation as it really is.
Deepak Chopra
Image
The brain has a quality referred to as plasticity. The ability to form new neural pathways even into very old age. The brain is fluid, flexible and incredibly adaptable to new experiences.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Our thoughts are always pulling us into the future or the past, away from the present. But it is in the present moment that we find Spirit, our essential being and the force that animates all life.
Deepak Chopra
