Begin to see yourself in all other beings.
Deepak Chopra
Image
The mind/body connection is like a telephone line - many telephone lines, in fact, teeming with information. Small things like drinking an orange juice with pulp or eating an apple is being received like a telephone call to your genes. Every thought, every thing you eat, every single little thing can tweak your genes activity towards healing.
Deepak Chopra
Image
The current perception I get from the evening news is that the world is dominated by human failure, crime, catastrophe, corruption, and tragedy. We are all tuning in to see how the human mind is evolving, but the media keeps hammering home the opposite, that the human mind is mired in darkness and folly.
Deepak Chopra
Image
In the teen years, we often confuse self-image with self-esteem. Teenagers are very influenced by the image others have of them. All sorts of complexes come from this.
Deepak Chopra
Image
I have all the time in the world. I am in touch with the timeless. I am surrounded by infinity.
Deepak Chopra
Image
If you can accept the flow of life and give in to it, you will be accepting what is real. Only when you accept what is real can you live with it in peace and happiness. The alternative is a struggle that will never end because it is a struggle with the unreal, with a mirage of life instead of life itself.
Deepak Chopra
Image
And I believe that if 100 million people became embodiments of peace, the world would transform, because consciousness is a collective phenomenon. And what we see as good and evil is the balance between forces.
Deepak Chopra
Image
We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. If we share with caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other. And then this moment will have been worthwhile.
Deepak Chopra

Every experience in life changes the brain's anatomy.
Deepak Chopra
Image
The Rig Veda defines yoga as a union or yoking of the material and spiritual worlds, and it doesn't describe any physical postures other than the traditional cross-legged meditation pose.
Deepak Chopra
Image
If we stop thinking of ourselves and only of helping others, you will start to see a dramatic improvement in the suffering we are all going through.
Deepak Chopra
Image
What you experience as reality, including your physical body and aging, is shaped by your habits of perception.
Deepak Chopra
Image
You cannot bring the same stale self to the world and expect the world to be new for you.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Bliss cannot be found by remembering the past or anticipating the future.
Deepak Chopra
Image
It's an intelligence. It's not - you know, that's the other mistake we make, is we tend to project how we think of ourselves onto divinity. So divinity being infinite, unbounded, eternal, beyond space and time, is not a he or a she, it's a field of intelligence.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Replace your self-defeating thoughts with self-supporting thoughts.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Unless we make the change ourselves, nothing is going to change.
Deepak Chopra
Image
You don't give up the intention, and you don't give up the desire. You give up your attachment to the results.
Deepak Chopra
Image
You don't need others to change in order to be happy.
Deepak Chopra

People who become great leaders are those who take time to reflect every day on the big questions: Who am I? What is my purpose? Who are my heroes in history, mythology, and religion? What are my unique talents and how do I express them? These are the qualities of silent reflection that make a great leader, like Jesus.
