Quote

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.

The quality of our attention determines our experience.
Deepak Chopra

There will never be a time when your life is not this moment.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Karma is experience, and experience creates memory, and memory creates imagination and desire, and desire creates karma again. If I buy a cup of coffee, that's karma. I now have that memory that might give me the potential desire for having cappuccino, and I walk into Starbucks, and there's karma all over again.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Meeting a stranger can be totally fleeting and meaningless, for example, unless you enter the individual’s world by finding out at least one thing that is meaningful to his or her life and exchange at lest one genuine feeling. Tuning in to others is a circular flow: you send yourself out toward people you receive them as they respond to you.

We forget sometimes that there are saints living among us. When we meet them, we are reminded, not just of the presence of pure divinity right here on earth, but also of our own potential, and of the responsibility we have to try to live up to it, for our own sakes and for the very future of this planet.

There is no fixed physical reality, no single perception of the world, just numerous ways of interpreting world views as dictated by one's nervous system and the specific environment of our planetary existence.
Deepak Chopra

No matter whether I feels victorious or defeated, elated or discouraged, these are mere phantoms compared to consciousness itself.
Deepak Chopra

Bliss cannot be found by remembering the past or anticipating the future.

Nutritional supplements are not a substitute for a nutritionally balanced diet.
Deepak Chopra

Intelligence is present everywhere in our bodies . . . our own inner intelligence is far superior to any we can try to substitute from the outside.
Deepak Chopra

Even the most time-honoured truths do not have to be accepted until they are your truths.
Deepak Chopra

Embrace the unpredictable and unexpected. It is the path to the infinitely creative in you.
Deepak Chopra

Religion is believing someone else's experience, spirituality is having your own experience.
Deepak Chopra
Image
In my definition of consciousness, consciousness is the same thing as life. What wisdom traditions also call spirit.
Deepak Chopra
Image
If you want to know the state of your personal consciousness, just look around and see what is happening to you.

In your present-moment awareness, awaken to your innocence, your trust, your love, your eternal being.
