Perceptual reality is different for different species. In certain species it is a mode of observation, so what we call scientific fact is actually not ultimate truth, it is perceptual experience, and it's a mode of observation.
Deepak Chopra -
Karma, when properly understood, is just the mechanics through which consciousness manifests.
Deepak Chopra
-
There are very few good examples of effective, nurturing leadership that unlocks people's potential or even enthusiasm.
Deepak Chopra -
Karma, memory, and desire are just the software of the soul. It's conditioning that the soul undergoes in order to create experience. And it's a cycle. In most people, the cycle is a conditioned response. They do the same things over and over again.
Deepak Chopra -
I feel genius in great works of art. I have seen medical cures that science can't explain, some seemingly triggered by faith. The same is true of millions of other people.
Deepak Chopra -
We need to build websites with celebrity speakers who talk about the ideals of fairness, sharing, democratic cooperation, and altruism in public life.

Deepak Chopra -
We can actually accelerate the process through meditation, through the ability to find stillness through loving actions, through compassion and sharing, through understanding the nature of the creative process in the universe and having a sense of connection to it. So, that's conscious evolution.

Religions take donations and don't pay taxes.
Deepak Chopra -
Many scientists think that philosophy has no place, so for me it's a sad time because the role of reflection, contemplation, meditation, self inquiry, insight, intuition, imagination, creativity, free will, is in a way not given any importance, which is the domain of philosophers.
Deepak Chopra -
Dynamic activity and deep rest of the mind are complementary to each other.
Deepak Chopra -
You know, religion itself, Eastern and Western, is divisive and quarrelsome anyway.
Deepak Chopra -
It takes a little bit of mindfulness and a little bit of attention to others to be a good listener, which helps cultivate emotional nurturing and engagement.

Some Western biographies are apologist, and do not portray the negative side at all.
Deepak Chopra
-
You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.
Deepak Chopra -
In India, you're taught that there are certain qualities that make you a divine human being.
Deepak Chopra -
A person is a pattern of behavior, of a larger awareness.
Deepak Chopra -
What happens is consciousness operates in mysterious ways. One of those ways is that the old paradigm suddenly starts to die.
Deepak Chopra -
Passivity is the same as defending injustice.
Deepak Chopra -
The world in general has meaning, deep meaning at times. This cannot be dismissed as a delusion, an artifact of chemicals.
Deepak Chopra
-
I dislike the word 'self-help.' Self-awareness, yes, but not self-help.
Deepak Chopra -
I have all the time in the world. I am in touch with the timeless. I am surrounded by infinity. When I think like that, it doesn't mean I'm going to miss my train, it just means that I'm not thinking about it right now because I'm speaking to you.
Deepak Chopra -
So the universe is constantly moving in the direction of higher evolutionary impulses, creativity, abstraction, and meaning.
Deepak Chopra -
Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future. The past is closed and limited; the future is open and free.
