Deepak Chopra Quotes

People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.

Know thyself, for through thyself only thou canst know God.

The finding of God is the coming to one's own self.

For me to be a saint means to be myself. Therefore the problem of sanctity and salvation is in fact the problem of finding out who I am and of discovering my true self.

I study more of truth and enlightening. I had to go the next level to talk about life.

I have a much wider, freer view about spirituality. I feel that people need to pursue it on their own, personally. You know, let it be theirs - a personal relationship with their soul, or their God, or with their church.

Unraveling external selves and coming home to our real identity is the true meaning of soul work.

I can honestly say I am a Christian, but my spirituality has been developed on the road and is based on my experiences with God.

Study what thou art Whereof thou art a part What thou knowest of this art This is really what thou art. All that is without thee also is within.

What's in your soul is in your soul.

You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.

If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.

I believe that life is a journey towards God, and that no one has the right to insist that you go a certain road.

You don't look out there for God, something in the sky, you look in you.

Over the years, my relationship with God has changed my life for the better - it's grown me up, given me a sense of purpose, and grounded me in my identity.

The closest you'll get to God, ever, in your existence, is measured by how close you get to yourself. Because your connection with God is you. He created you. That is the ultimate connection you have with God is you.

In terms of my personal spirituality and everything else, it's ever-evolving. I have a desire to want more out of the universe. But the older I get, the further I get from any specifics about that.

I'm always trying to find ways to evolve. Evolution, for me, is a very spiritual thing, getting closer to the creator, closer to God, and becoming a better version of yourself.

The song that starts with 'Neene Rama, neene Shama, neene Allah, neene Yesu,' is very profound. It exhorts people to stop looking for god everywhere and to instead look within themselves.

God created me. And the closest I will ever get with God is this soul, this body. And if I don't have myself, if I don't listen to myself, if I don't trust myself, then I don't trust God, because God created me.

I tell you this: The purpose of life is not to please God. The purpose of life is to know, and to recreate, Who You Are.

The only service you can do for anyone is to remind them of their true nature.
