Deepak Chopra Quotes

The Third Klesha Says That Even With A Healthy Self-image We Recoil From Things That Threaten Our Egos. These Threats Exist Everywhere. I Am Afraid Of Being Poor, Of Losing My Spouse, Of Breaking The Law. I Am Afraid To Shame Myself Before Anyone Whose Respect I Want To Keep. For Some People, The Thought Of Their Children Turning Out Badly Is A Deep Threat To Their Own Sense Of Self. "We Don't Do That In This Family" Is Usually Code For "Your Behavior Threatens Who I Am." But People Don't Recognize That They Are Speaking In Code. Once I Have Identified With My Self-image, The Fear That It Might Break Down Is Instinctive. The Need To Protect Myself From What I Fear Is Part Of Who I Am.
