Deepak Chopra is one of the most influential spiritual leaders of our time. He has written dozens of books, including The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Synchrodestiny, and You Are The Universe, among others, and he has a knack for explaining profound spiritual and life truths in a way that is easy for anyone to grasp.
In this post, I share a collection of some of my favorite quotes by Deepak Chopra, which include everything from love and relationships to happiness and purpose, life, awareness, consciousness, and spiritual growth,
I hope you enjoy!
Quotes On Love and Relationships
“Love is the beginning of the journey, its end, and the journey itself.”
“Love doesn’t need reason. It speaks from the irrational wisdom of the heart.”
“If you create any open space within yourself, love will fill it.”
“Negativity is born in the gap where love has been excluded.”
“The energy born of love is creative – it makes everything it touches new. To see how passionate you are, look around at what you have created.”
“When you blame and criticize others, you are avoiding some truth about yourself.”
“Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.”
“When you struggle with your partner, you are struggling with yourself. Every fault you see in them touches a denied weakness in yourself.”
“The path to love isn’t a choice, for all of us must find out who we are. This is our spiritual destiny. The path can be postponed; you can lose faith in it or even despair that love exists at all. None of that is permanent; only the path is.”

Quotes On Life and Living Your Purpose

“Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined.”
“If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another.”

Quotes On Happiness
“Nothing is more important than reconnecting with your bliss. Nothing is as rich. Nothing is more real.”
“In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.”
“The expression of gratitude is a powerful force that generates even more of what we have already received.”
“Happiness for a reason is just another form of misery because the reason can be taken away from us at any time.”
“What keeps life fascinating is the constant creativity of the soul.”
Quotes On Awareness, Consciousness, and Spiritual Growth
“Questions answer themselves if you are aware enough.”
“The first step toward change is recognition. Recognize that you have had at least a few hopes and wishes come true.”
“For the moment, take a little time every day to notice the contents of your mind. This act of noticing, although very simple, is one of the most powerful steps to bringing about change. What you don’t see you cannot change.”
“People are doing the best that they can from their own level of consciousness.”
“There is no holy life. There is no war between good and evil. There is no sin and no redemption. None of these things matter to the real you. But they all matter hugely to the false you, the one who believes in the separate self. You have tried to take your separate self, with all its loneliness and anxiety and pride, to the door of enlightenment. But it will never go through, because it is a ghost.”
“Everything is connected with everything else. In the spiritual world, those connections become visible. But in the physical world, we only glimpse the connections in the clues given to us through coincidence.”
