The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
Joy is a return to the deep harmony of body, mind, and spirit that was yours at birth and that can be yours again. That openness to love, that capacity for wholeness with the world around you, is still within you.
Interpretation
Joy is a natural state of being that can be reclaimed through love and connection.
In this quote, Deepak Chopra expresses that joy is not only a fleeting feeling but a fundamental harmony present in our lives since birth. He emphasizes that this deep sense of joy, characterized by love and a sense of completeness with the world, is always accessible to us if we remain open and attuned to it.
In practice
In a motivational speech about personal growth.
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.
To live long and achieve happiness, cultivate the art of radiating happiness.
Happiness blooms naturally in the hearts of those who are inwardly free. It flows spontaneously, like a mountain spring after April showers, in minds that are contented with simple living.
In order to be happy you need a good dog, a good woman, and ready money.
Even if only a few individuals try to create mental peace and happiness within themselves, and act responsibly and kind-heartedly towards others, they will have a positive influence in their community.
Gratitude changes the pangs of memory into a tranquil joy.
If you possess happiness you possess everything: to be happy is to be in tune with God.
