The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
Desires are seeds waiting for their season to sprout. From a single seed of desire, whole forests grow.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Desires have the potential to grow into significant outcomes if nurtured at the right time.
This quote by Deepak Chopra illustrates the idea that our desires are like seeds which, when tended to properly and given the right conditions, can lead to extraordinary growth and fulfillment in our lives. Just as a single seed can grow into a vast forest, our aspirations and longings have the power to manifest great achievements if we patiently allow them to develop.

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.
Deepak ChopraRead
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.
