The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
Take away all your labels and you are the Infinite Being.
Interpretation
Labels define our identity, but at the core, we are limitless beings.
In this quote, Deepak Chopra suggests that the labels we attach to ourselves, such as roles, identities, and societal expectations, restrict our perception of who we truly are. By removing these labels, we can connect with our true essence, which is infinite and boundless, urging us to recognize our potential beyond societal constraints.
In practice
This quote is perfect for a personal development workshop on self-discovery.
The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.

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.
Events, circumstances, etc., have their origin in ourselves. They spring from seeds which we have sown.
The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space-each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision.
The human condition: lost in thought.
Commerce is of trivial import; love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred.
God is not found in the soul by adding anything but by a process of subtraction.
