― Deepak Chopra , The Future of God: A Practical Approach to Spirituality for Our Times

4 " The divine doesn’t appear by glimpses, in peak moments with sudden blinding light. The divine is constant; it is we who come and go. "

― Deepak Chopra , The Future of God: A Practical Approach to Spirituality for Our Times

5 " When you begin the process of finding God, the inner world reveals itself. God experience will start to become the norm, not in a spectacular way like a wished-for miracle but in the far deeper way of transformation. "

― Deepak Chopra , The Future of God: A Practical Approach to Spirituality for Our Times

6 " When there is enough consciousness, God appears. You will know this as surely as you know that you have thoughts, feelings, and sensations. This is God will cross your mind as easily as This is a rose. The presence of God will be as palpable as a heartbeat. "

― Deepak Chopra , The Future of God: A Practical Approach to Spirituality for Our Times

7 " Everyone’s faith comes from the perceptions of the mind. O Arjuna, the ego-personality is the living embodiment of faith. Your faith is your identity. "

― Deepak Chopra , The Future of God: A Practical Approach to Spirituality for Our Times

8 " When the mind becomes like a beautiful woman It bestows all that you want of a lover. Can you go that deep?

10 " Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature, and you will find that, behind all the discernible laws and connections, there remains something subtle, intangible, and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am, in fact, religious. "

― Deepak Chopra , The Future of God: A Practical Approach to Spirituality for Our Times

11 " Wisdom tells us secrets before we have a right to know them. That’s the beauty of it. You don’t have to pray for wisdom or make yourself worthy of it. As with the concept of grace in the New Testament, which falls like rain on the just and the unjust alike, the ultimate truth simply is. When we catch a glimpse of it, we become more real in ourselves.

It is undeniable that the outward appearance of life contains suffering and distress. Wisdom reveals that suffering comes and goes while a deeper reality never changes. That reality is founded on truth and love.

Faith makes life better because in the midst of pain and suffering, we need to trust that something else is more powerful. "

― Deepak Chopra , The Future of God: A Practical Approach to Spirituality for Our Times

12 " In a universe where visible matter accounts for only 0.01 percent of creation, it would be foolish to undertake science without a sense that reality is extremely mysterious. Dark energy exists on the fringe of the unknowable, and so does a saint who exists without eating. The simplistic logic and outmoded science applied by Dawkins and company don’t remotely approach how reality works. "

― Deepak Chopra , The Future of God: A Practical Approach to Spirituality for Our Times

― Deepak Chopra , The Future of God: A Practical Approach to Spirituality for Our Times

14 " Beware of arguments based on probability. When he was a young man, Einstein worked as a clerk in the Swiss Patent Office. What are the odds that a clerk in the same office today will be the next Einstein? It’s an absurd question to pose that way (like asking the odds that a deaf person will become the next Beethoven). "

― Deepak Chopra , The Future of God: A Practical Approach to Spirituality for Our Times

15 " The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way [i.e., randomly] is comparable to the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junkyard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein. "

― Deepak Chopra , The Future of God: A Practical Approach to Spirituality for Our Times

16 " Tagore says, “Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark. "

― Deepak Chopra , The Future of God: A Practical Approach to Spirituality for Our Times

17 " Reality isn’t fragile. If you doubt a rose, it doesn’t wither and die. "

― Deepak Chopra , The Future of God: A Practical Approach to Spirituality for Our Times

18 " A prominent rabbi sent Einstein an exasperated telegram: “Do you believe in God? Stop. Answer paid. Fifty words.” Einstein replied, “I believe in Spinoza’s God, who reveals himself in the lawful harmony of all that exists, but not in a God who concerns himself with the fate and the doings of mankind.
