It is the nature of babies to be in bliss.
Interpretation
Babies naturally experience happiness and joy, reflecting their unconditioned state of being.
This quote by Deepak Chopra emphasizes that the inherent state of infants is one of blissful contentment, untouched by the complexities and stresses of adult life. It suggests that as we grow, we often lose this natural state, and it invites us to reconnect with that innate joy and simplicity that babies embody.
