In Oprah's magazine, she interviews Deepak Chopra and she asks,
Oprah: "What is that essence? In every conversation I've had with housewives,in Mumbai, with middle-class people, upper-class, in the slums - everyone says there is an underlying consciousnes of karma. That people believe in karma - that what you are putting out is going to come back. If I do something to you, the energy of it is going to come back to me in the future."
Deepak: " A child in India grows up with the idea that you have to make choices that will create a better future. In fact, your whole life is a continuum of choices, so the more conscious you are, the greater your life will be. People live that yes."
Oprah: "That is the thing that impressed me the most. People live it. They don't just talk it. It is part of their actions.. Am I correct?"
Deepak: " You're absolutely correct. In India you are taught that there are certain qualities that make you a divine human being. These qualities are Joy.
Oprah: "Joy!"
Deepak: "Love."
Oprah: "Love."
Deepak: "Compassion, equanimity, truth, goodness, beauty and hamony. And at the core of these are three words: Sat, chit, Ananda. Sat means "the truth", Chit means "consciousness" and Ananda means "Joy". So if you are connected to truth and consciousness and joy, you're all set."
In reading this, and looking back....what are the children of the FALC taught?
And what are you teaching if you are not teaching the truth of your own childhood? How are you living life and what is it reflecting?
