The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead

Interpretation
Each person plays a unique role in the larger tapestry of existence and has something valuable to contribute.
This quote by Deepak Chopra emphasizes the interconnectivity of all human beings and the importance of individuality within that framework.

During a motivational speech on community involvement.
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.
Man, whatever else he may be, is primarily a practical being, whose mind is given him to aid in adapting him to this world's life
He who says either that the time for philosophy has not yet come or that it has passed is like someone who says that the time for happiness has not yet come or that it has passed.
I never considered myself a lucky person. I'm the most extraordinary pessimist. I truly am.
The disappearance of a sense of responsibility is the most far-reaching consequence of submission to authority.
Many & most moments go by with us hardly aware of their passage. But love & hate & fear cause time to snag you, to drag you down like a spider's web holding fast to a doomed fly's wings. And when you're caught like that you're aware of every moment & movement & nuance.
For he who loves God without faith reflects on himself, while the person who loves God in faith reflects on God.
