The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
Find one thing every day to forgive the other person for. Don't let them know what it is...just forgive them and let it go.
Interpretation
Practice daily forgiveness to maintain harmony in relationships, without seeking acknowledgment from the other person.
This quote emphasizes the importance of forgiveness in maintaining healthy relationships. By choosing to forgive the other person for small grievances every day, without making it known, we cultivate a sense of peace and understanding, which ultimately strengthens the bond and prevents resentment from building up.
In practice
In a speech about healthy relationships, one might say, 'As Deepak Chopra suggests, we should find one thing every day to forgive our loved ones for to maintain harmony.'
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.
One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. There is no silence without a cry of grief, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. That is what lies at the root of true harmony.
Rejoice with those who rejoice." I have found that difficult too often. I was much better at weeping with those who weep.
I was young I was so young it hurt like a knife inside because there was no alternative except to hide as long as possible--- not in self-pity but with dismay at my limited chance: trying to connect.
Lies had deserted me, and I felt as lonely as though they had been my only friends.

I know I can't tell you what it's like to be gay. But I can tell you what it's not. It's not hiding behind words, Mama. Like family and decency and Christianity.
