Deepak Chopra

Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason, you're in trouble, because that reason can be taken from you.

We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.  This is a precious moment, but it is transient.  It is a little parenthesis in eternity.  If we share with caring, lightheartedness and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other.  And then this moment will have been worthwhile.

...there's a disconnect between public and private morality. What corporations and governments do (ruining people's retirement funds, killing an enemy en masse) is unthinkable for the individual. Few societies have successfully bridged this gap. The only answer I can come up with is that only consciousness can prevail. When you find yourself having to make a difficult moral choice, your choice comes intuitively. One person automatically resorts to violence, another automatically resists violence. In the larger scheme this doesn't mark the difference between good and bad. It marks the stages of evolution that consciousness has always gone through and will continue to.

Christ wasn't a Christian and Buddha wasn't a Buddhist and Muhammad wasn't Muslim. These people were having the experience of unity consciousnesses and universal consciousness and they spoke of it in words.

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.

If you and I are having a single thought of violence or hatred against anyone in the world at this moment, we are contributing to the wounding of the world.

 

I used to be an atheist until I realized that I was God.

Know that you have a center.
Know that you belong there.
Know that the path to the center takes no effort.

What comes deep comes true.

Why are we here?  We exist not to pursue happiness, which is fleeting, or outer accomplishment, which can always be bettered.  We are here to nourish the self.
