Deepak Chopra quotes about

People who continue to nurture long-term and new friendships as they grow older are more likely to enjoy health and vitality.
attention calm contact core creative great inner knowing learn lessons moon moving pay poet reflected silence stability substitute sun surface waters
Silence is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons you must pay attention to it. There is no substitute for the creative inspiration, knowledge, and stability that come from knowing how to contact your core of inner silence. The great Sufi poet Rumi wrote, ''Only let the moving waters calm down, and the sun and moon will be reflected on the surface of your being.
spiritual sex spiritual-experience
Sex is a spiritual experience.
laughter past fear-of-death
Laughter allows us to get past the fear of death.
powerful simplicity innocent
Simplicity is cosmic, because it places our life on the same scale as all life, of innocent Nature herself, who is all-powerful.
expression giving dignity
To graciously receive is an expression of the dignity of giving.
names giving devil
God gave humans the truth, and the devil came and he said, 'Let's give it a name and call it religion.'
dream giving over-you
It would be helpful if the universe would give us one big clue, or a giant compass, if you will, pointing to the direction we should be taking. In fact, the compass is there. To find it, you need only look inside yourself to discover your soul's purest desire, its dream for your life.
hands law creating
In the face of nature's overwhelming forces, humans needed a God who would protect them from harm. When they felt that they had broken the law or committed wrongdoing, people turned to a God who would judge them on the one hand and redeem their sins on the other. In this way, purely from slef-interest, the project of creating God in our own image proceeded--and continues to proceed.
mother real father
Each person is entitled to some version of God that seems real, yet many versions contradict one another. The God of any religion is only a fragment of God. This has to be true, because a being who is unbounded has no image, no role to play, no location either inside or outside the cosmos, whereas religions offer many images--father, mother, lawgiver, judge, ruler of the universe.
divinity unfolding miraculous
True success is ... the experience of the miraculous. It is the unfolding of the divinity within us.
intelligent design asking
It's time to rescue "intelligent design" from the politics of religion. There are too many riddles not yet answered by either biology or the Bible, and by asking them honestly, without foregone conclusions, science could take a huge leap forward.
christian principles theory
To say that Nature displays intelligence doesn't make you a Christian fundamentalist. Einstein said as much, and a fascinating theory called the anthropic principle has been seriously considered by Stephen Hawking, among others.
laughter humanity suffering
Laughter is Humanity's mechanism to escape suffering.
