Waiting for Manifestation

By on July 1, 2009 in Spirituality

 Question:

How will you know when your intended desire has been asked of the universe? What should you do while waiting for your desires to manifest? I am having trouble letting go, I feel like there has to be something for me to do in the mean time.
 
Answer:
 
Once you have put your intention out to the universe, it has been officially “asked.” In the meantime, the best thing you can do is get out of your own way, so that you aren’t impeding your fulfillment or demanding the terms upon which your intention is supposed to manifest.
 
Remember, at your core you share your essence with the infinite power and intelligence of the universe. Your limited self is actually asking your own non-local, unlimited Self for that knowledge and connection to the source that will bring it fulfillment. The entire process happens within you, within your consciousness. To help facilitate the awakening, don’t get fooled into thinking fulfillment is going to come from outside you or that it is all dependent upon how hard you  push to make things happen.
 
The real transformation is happening in the stillness of your heart, so trying to force a particular outcome will interrupt that process. This seems counter the common conception that we need to force our will upon life to get ahead, but in fact meaningful and balanced growth in life comes by attuning one’s awareness to the infinite power and wisdom of the cosmos.
 
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."

    Deepak,

    I remember Socrates' ideal that "Only God is Wise". The realization of this Truth is more powerful to me in recent days.

    I see a thread of this Truth, in the interticies, between the words of your answer.

    More is possible, now. Tommorrow is another day.

    Cheers to all..

    I have red this in the past from you Deepak… My mental is saying I know… But I feel it is a trick to not deeply listen to your words… I want more than that "I know"…

    So strange this feel, right now; like if I am accepting to be "in the knowledge", be in…

    What a lot of people are not realizing is that they are their circumstances. There is a saying

    "Where you are – Is what you are"

    There is a way out of the entire process of circumstance and interpretation but ultimately all beliefs must be abandoned including self belief.

    at that stage you wont find anything to ask the universe for; in fact you wont even need to believe in a universe any longer.

    love xx

    I am your reflection as you are mine
