The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
You are not creating a new you; you are releasing a hidden you. The process is one of self discovery. The hidden you that wants to emerge is in perfect balance.
Interpretation
This quote emphasizes that personal growth involves uncovering one's true self rather than creating a new persona.
Deepak Chopra's quote articulates the idea that true personal development is not about reinventing oneself, but rather about discovering the authentic self that lies beneath the surface. This process of self-discovery reveals a person who is already in perfect harmony with their inner nature, suggesting that fulfillment and balance come from realizing and embracing who we truly are.

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.
You have to have faith that there is a reason you go through certain things. I can't say I'm glad to go through pain, but in a way one must, in order to gain courage and really feel joy.
Listen carefully, my child, to your master's precepts, and incline the ear of your heart. Receive willingly and carry out effectively your loving father's advice, that by the labor of obedience you may return to Him from whom you had departed by the sloth of disobedience.
He that riseth late, must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night.
If we don't choose to intentionally and consciously slow down and stop being in a rush, your body and mind will force you to do it anyway.
