Dharma

Question:

How did you realize what your Dharma is and how did you know that it was not just a feel good thought?

Answer:

My sense of dharma or life purpose, did not arise as a thought at all. I didn’t sit down and figure out what I was supposed to do in life. It was more a matter of living from my soul and acting and responding to the needs of the environment I found myself in with as much integrity, creativity and compassion that I could.  Whatever I was doing, that was my dharma. So  I realized my dharma by doing what came naturally to me.

Love,

Deepak

About Deepak Chopra

Time Magazine heralded Deepak Chopra as one of the 100 heroes and icons of the century, and credited him as "the poet-prophet of alternative medicine." Entertainment Weekly described Deepak Chopra as "Hollywood's man of the moment, one of publishing's best-selling and most prolific self-help authors." He is the author of more than 50 books and more than 100 audio, video and CD-Rom titles. He has been published on every continent and in dozens of languages. Fifteen of his books have landed on the New York Times Best-seller list. Toastmaster International recognized him as one of the top five outstanding speakers in the world. Through his over two decades of work since leaving his medical practice, Deepak continues to revolutionize common wisdom about the crucial connection between body, mind, spirit, and healing. His mission of "bridging the technological miracles of the west with the wisdom of the east" remains his thrust and provides the basis for his recognition as one of India's historically greatest ambassadors to the west. Chopra has been a keynote speaker at several academic institutions including Harvard Medical School, Harvard Business School, Harvard Divinity School, Kellogg School of Management, Stanford Business School and Wharton.His latest book is "Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul."

    right. it's not "thinking," but "knowing" through the "feeling" of Awareness.
