Deepak Chopra Quotes

We go where our deepest desires take us.

Take responsibility for your last bad decision, and then let it go. Don't blame others or make excuses for yourself.

It helps if you remember that everyone is doing their best from their level of consciousness.

Slip into the gap, have the desire, detach from the outcome, and let the universe take care of the details.

There is a plan, and your soul knows what it is.

Pursue excellence; ignore success.

If you say, "I'm bursting with joy," a scientist could analyze your skin and find it loaded with neuropeptides that may have antidepressant effects and that may modulate the immune system. If you say, "I feel exhilarated, unbounded, and joyful," and I were to examine your blood, I would find high levels of interleukin and interferon, which are powerful anticancer drugs.

When you make contact with your Higher Self, you'll have the support of Nature, which will allow for the manifestation of all you desire

Complications take many forms, including an imbalanced lifestyle, toxic relationships, hidden emotional debts, resistance, indecision, addictions, and negative conditioned beliefs. When our life is overly complicated, we're weighed down by superfluous things at every level.

What people think of you is none of your business.

Completely desist from defending your point of view. When you have no point to defend, you do not allow the birth of an argument. If you do this consistently - if you stop fighting and resisting - you will fully experience the present, which is a gift. Someone once told me, "The past is history, the future is a mystery, and this moment is a gift. That is why this moment is called 'the present'."

Love is already inside us as our true being; we do not have to make it appear.

Knowing exactly what you want to do, with unwavering conviction, is the spark that generates everything.

Human nature is divided; it contains both darkness and light. You can choose to accept the darkness and lament it, or you can choose to expand the light until the darkness no longer dominates.

Remember this: Beliefs divide, values unite. When we go to the values that underlie so many religious beliefs, they unite us.

We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.

Every emotion is keyed into some bodily location, and taken all together, they form the emotional body.

If I may take the risk of defining what a spiritual experience is, it is one in which pure awareness reveals itself to you as the maker of reality - where you suddenly discover through insight or meditation or a freak accident that your essential nature is spiritual, non-material.

The only thing that matters is the choice you are making now--this very instant.

To acquire true self power you have to feel beneath no one, be immune to criticism and be fearless.

The purpose of meditation is to stop thinking for a time, wait for the fog of thought to thin, and glimpse the spirit within.

The word yoga is the same as the English word "yoke". So in the New Testament when Jesus Christ says, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light," my interpretation is that he's referring to yoga. It means "union" - Union of the body, mind and the spirit as one continuum of consciousness.

Human beings generally need between six and eight hours of restful sleep each night. Restful sleep means that you're not using pharmaceuticals or alcohol to get to sleep, but that you're drifting off easily once you turn off the light and are sleeping soundly through the night.

Life gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to do if you stay in the present moment.

You know that you have fully experienced love when you turn into love - that is the spiritual goal of life.

When your actions are motivated by love, you expend least effort and your energy multiplies, allowing you to create anything you want, with a spirit of play and joy. When you seek power and control over others, you waste energy chasing the illusion of happiness.

If you restore balance in your own self, you will be contributing immensely to the healing of the world.

Understand that if a deep desire lives in your heart, a dream that is part of your soul's fiber, a path exists to bring it to life.

Meditation refreshes our mind and helps us let go of old patterns. We spend less time dwelling on the past or worrying about the future; instead, we are focused on the present.

At the level of spirit, everything is always unfolding perfectly.

Anger is remembered pain, fear is anticipated pain, guilt is self directed pain, depression is depletion of energy. Cure-return to love& joy

Pain 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 mind’s mysterious instinct to believe that pain is good, or that it cannot be escaped, or that the person deserves it.

This is a precious moment, but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.

The secret to making your holiday inspiring is actually quite simple. Be inspiring yourself. As with any change, you must be the change you want to see in others.

Looking for yourself is like a thirsty fish looking for water.

Less than 5% of cancers are related to genes. 95% are influenced by your lifestyle. You are the author of your biological story.

Impermanence is not something to be afraid of. It's the evolution, a never-ending horizon.

How old are you? If your first reflex is to reply with your chronological age, the number on your birth certificate, you are only one-third correct. There are actually two additional, and more important, indicators of age. And the exciting news is that it is within your power to adjust both of these other "age indicators" and truly grow younger and live longer.

Tune into the presence of miracles, and in an instant, life can be transformed into a dazzling experience, more wondrous and exciting than we could even imagine.

Replace fear-based thinking with love-based thinking.

Our brains are too slow to register that every concrete object is winking in and out of existence at the quantum level thousands of times per second.

The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is quite real for everyone. It requires no force or effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than changing our ideas about what is normal.

A gentle focus of attention is all it takes to free the body of minor imbalances.

The transformation from separation to unity, from conflict to peace, is the goal of all spiritual traditions.

Fear, anger, stubbornness, and distrust portray themselves as your rescuers. Actually these energies only make you more closed off. Tell yourself: Nobody ever solved a situation by panicking; no one ever solved a situation by refusing to hear new answers; no one solved a situation by shutting down.

The most good you can do for yourself spiritually is to live your life with total love, conviction, and purpose.

Forgiveness is a feeling.

Are you ready to step out of the prison of memory and conditioned responses into the experience of freedom? If so, then observe your addictive behaviors without judgment.
