Deepak Chopra

Your awareness has its source in unity. Instead of seeking outside yourself, go to the source to realize who you are.

When we heed the call of our deepest desires, we fulfill our true destinies.

Everything that is happening at this moment is a result of the choices you've made in the past.

This moment - the one you're experiencing right now - is the culmination of all the moments you have experienced in the past. This moment is as it is because the entire universe is as it is.

Access to your true essence will give you insight into the mirror of relationship, because all relationship is a reflection of your relationship with yourself.

Your fellow man is your mirror. If your own face is clean, the image you perceive will also be flawless.

When we transcend our own thoughts, we get in touch with the womb of creation.

Space and time are not objects of perception, but qualities of awareness

The Self is not in the realm of thought. The Self is in the gap between our thoughts. The cosmic psyche whispers to us softly in the gap between our thoughts.

You are no more in your body than Beethoven is inside your radio.

Although we think of them as extraordinary, miracles also streak across our consciousness every day. We can choose to notice or ignore them, unaware that our destinies may hang in the balance. Tune into the presence of miracles, and in an instant, life can be transformed into a dazzling experience, more wondrous and exciting than we could even imagine. Ignore it, and an opportunity is gone forever.

Remember, in our inmost being, we are all completely lovable because spirit is love. Beyond what anyone can make you think or feel about yourself, your unconditioned spirit stands, shining with a love nothing can tarnish.

Know that people are doing the best they can from their level of awareness. Accept people for who they are and always be ready to forgive.

Just by being ourselves we are borne toward a destiny far beyond anything we could imagine. It is enough to know that the being I nourish inside me is the same as the Being that suffuses every atom of the cosmos.

Losing touch with spirit does nothing to the field of creativity, which is beyond harm; but it can do much to damage a person's chance in life.

You believe that you live in the world, where in fact the world lives within you.

We have approximately 60,000 thoughts in a day. Unfortunately, 95% of them are thoughts we had the day before.

The intention behind our giving and receiving is the most important thing. When the act of giving is joyful, when it is unconditional and from the heart, then the energy behind the giving increases many times over. But if we give grudgingly, there is no energy behind that giving. If we feel we have lost something through the act of giving, then the gift is not truly given and will not cause increase.

No matter how many possibilities turn into reality, an infinite number remain.

And for me anyway, consciousness is three components: a personal component which for lack of a better word we can call the soul. A collective component which is more archetypal and a deeper level, and then a universal domain of consciousness.

The fear of death comes from limited awareness.
