The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
Remember, in our inmost being, we are all completely lovable because spirit is love. Beyond what anyone can make you think or feel about yourself, your unconditioned spirit stands, shining with a love nothing can tarnish.
Interpretation
At our core, we are all inherently lovable and defined by our spirit of love, untouched by external opinions.
This quote by Deepak Chopra emphasizes the intrinsic value and love found within each person, suggesting that our truest essence is untainted by external judgments or beliefs. It conveys the idea that no matter how others perceive or treat you, your core spirit, which is love, remains pure and radiant, reminding us to recognize our own worth and the love that resides within us.

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.

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.
Having achieved and accomplished love... man... has become himself, his tale is told.
For anew Self to be born, hardship is necessary. Just as clay needs to go through intense heat to become strong, Love can only be perfected in pain.
Your heart is like a great river after a long spell of rain, spilling over its banks. All signposts that once stood on the ground are gone, inundated and carried away by that rush of water. And still the rain beats down on the surface of the river. Every time you see a flood like that on the news you tell yourself: That’s it. That’s my heart.
We don't need to justify love; it is there or not there. Real love is accepting other people the way they are without trying to change them.
It is my wish that my ashes may repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French people, whom I have loved so well.
Could we forbear dispute, and practise love,_x000D_ _x000D_ We should agree as angels do above.
