The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
To define yourself is to limit yourself. Without labels you remain the infinite being.
Interpretation
Defining oneself through labels restricts one's true potential and essence.
In this quote, Deepak Chopra emphasizes the idea that self-identification through labels can confine and limit a person's true nature and possibilities. By avoiding these constraints, individuals can embrace their limitless potential and authenticity, allowing for a more profound exploration of self beyond societal definitions.

The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light hearted and full of joy.

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.
Orlando naturally loved solitary places, vast views, and to feel himself for ever and ever and ever alone.
It is more blessed to give than to receive, and therefore less blessed to receive than to give.
Nor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity, for they shall live forever. Forever.
Today violence is the rhetoric of the period.
I still preserve those relics of past sufferings and experience, like pillars of witness set up in travelling through the valve of life, to mark particular occurrences. The footsteps are obliterated now; the face of the country may be changed; but the pillar is still there, to remind me how all things were when it was reared.
