The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
Impermanence is not something to be afraid of. It's the evolution, a never-ending horizon.
Interpretation
Impermanence reflects the constant change in life, which should be embraced rather than feared.
Deepak Chopra highlights the concept of impermanence, suggesting that change is a natural and essential part of life. Rather than viewing change as something daunting, he encourages us to see it as an opportunity for evolution and growth, presenting life as a continuous journey toward new horizons.
In practice
During a motivational speech about accepting change in life.
The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
To promote the healing response, you must get past all the grosser levels of the body - cells, tissues, organs and systems -- and arrive at a junction point between mind and matter, the point where consciousness actually starts to have an effect.
It is only because you take your mind to be yourself, and make it dwell on what you are not, that you lose your sense of well-being.
The most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself.
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.
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.
Go deep into meditation. and be meditation I mean silence, awareness, witnessing. You can meditate any time of the day, you can meditate working, walking, doing things. Meditation is not something separate from life; it should not be separate, otherwise it remains a little artificial. Meditation should be spread all over life. You should walk in meditation, you should sit in meditation; that means silently, fully aware. Slowly slowly it becomes your very flavour, then the bridge is created.
You must be a lotus, unfolding its petals when the sun rises in the sky, unaffected by the slush where it is born or even the water which sustains it!
If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn’t worry about it.
World events are the work of individuals whose motives are often frivolous, even casual.
The presence of others who see what we see and hear what we hear assures us of the reality of the world and ourselves.
The act of memory is an act of ghostwriting.
