The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
You alone are the judge of your worth and your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks.
Interpretation
Self-worth originates from within, independent of external opinions.
This quote by Deepak Chopra emphasizes the importance of self-judgment and the pursuit of recognizing oneβs inherent value. It suggests that true self-worth is not determined by others' perceptions or opinions, but by an internal understanding and appreciation of oneself. It encourages individuals to seek and acknowledge their infinite value despite external challenges or criticisms.
In practice
In a motivational speech about self-acceptance.
The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
To promote the healing response, you must get past all the grosser levels of the body - cells, tissues, organs and systems -- and arrive at a junction point between mind and matter, the point where consciousness actually starts to have an effect.
It is only because you take your mind to be yourself, and make it dwell on what you are not, that you lose your sense of well-being.
The most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself.
According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.
I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
It is the bright day that brings forth the adder, and that craves wary walking.
Our abode in this world is transitory, our life therein is but a loan, our breaths are numbered and our indolence is manifest.
'Let the Great World Spin' at the end talks a lot about connections and light and possibility and the fact that the world doesn't end. Even in the darkest times, we have to go on.
The way to really live is to die. The passport to living is to imagine yourself in your grave. Imagine you're lying in your coffin....Now look at your problems from that viewpoint. Changes everything, doesn't it?
The greatest barrier to own own healing is not the pain, sorrow or violence inflicted upon us as children. Our greatest hindrance is our ongoing capacity to judge, to criticize, and to bring tremendous harm to ourselves. If we can harden our heart against ourselves and meet our most tender feelings with anger and condemnation, we simultaneously armor our heart against the possibility of gentleness, love and healing.
