Our essential nature is pure consciousness, the infinite source of everything that exists in the physical world.
Deepak ChopraRelaxation is the prerequisite for that inner expansion that allows a person to express the source of inspiration and joy within.
Deepak ChopraOrdinary people aren't going to give up emotions and inspiration just because science sniffs at subjectivity. Science shouldn't be so edgy and defensive. Vandals aren't going to smash their way into laboratories and throw Bibles at the equipment.
Deepak ChopraRather than looking for another religion, look for the values that are in every religion.
Deepak ChopraPain is not the same as suffering. Left to itself, the body discharges pain spontaneously, letting go of it the moment that the underlying cause is healed. Suffering is pain that we hold on to. It comes from the mindโs mysterious instinct to believe that pain is good, or that it cannot be escaped, or that the person deserves it.
