What this quote means
Inner peace can lead to greater clarity and self-reflection.
This quote emphasizes the importance of finding calm and tranquility within oneself. When our minds are chaotic or tumultuous like moving waters, we cannot see our true selves or the beauty around us. By allowing ourselves to settle into a state of calm, we become more aware of our inner being and can better appreciate the reflections of wisdom and tranquility that life offers.

The most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself.
Deepak ChopraRead
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.
