Deepak ChopraRead
Impermanence is not something to be afraid of. It's the evolution, a never-ending horizon.
Interpretation
Impermanence reflects the constant change in life, which should be embraced rather than feared.
Deepak Chopra highlights the concept of impermanence, suggesting that change is a natural and essential part of life. Rather than viewing change as something daunting, he encourages us to see it as an opportunity for evolution and growth, presenting life as a continuous journey toward new horizons.

And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.

We are all potentially such sick men. The sanest and best of us are of one clay with lunatics and prison-inmates. And whenever we feel this, such a sense of the vanity of our voluntary career comes over us, that all our morality appears but as a plaster hiding a sore it can never cure, and all our well-doing as the hollowest substitute for that well-being that our lives ought to be grounded in, but alas! are not.
