Get the picture?... At best, Dr. Chopra is a quack and, at worst, - a fraud; in my opinion, he's BOTH.

Answer 2

We'll have to see how Barack Obama does first. Out of all the Presidents, he's the one who resembles Deepak Chopra the most. If Obama is a good President, then chances are that Deepak Chopra will also be a good President.

Answer 3

Love and other emotions are ego based. Emotions are not based on wisdom but we can transcend this state and come to a point where we can practice loving kindness and compassion for all sentient beings. If we can't love without discrimination, then we don't know love. When you approach someone on the street it is either with like, dislike or indifference. It is this attitude of judgment which stops us from really understanding what love is. Once we learn to love everyone and everything without that judgment then we are starting to practice wisdom. Actually it's much deeper than the samsaric view that 'love is great', 'love is kind' and that sort of thing. Deepak Chopra is speaking from an ultimate viewpoint not a relative one - most people relate on a relative level.

Answer 4

I like him OK. Very knowledgable, but I can't shake the feeling that he's more interested in trying to sell me something than leading me toward enlightenment. The thing with these modern 'gurus' like Chopra or Wayne Dyer is that they aren't saying anything new. I'd rather pick up the Bhagavad Gita or Analects or Bible or Upanishads or I Chang, etc and get it from the horses mouth.

Answer 5

No to the second question...but I have heeded some of his sayings....and some are Truly great. I am not enamoured with him.....and it all is wise and makes sense but it is no doctrine I would live by...let us face it there is a plethora of things to believe in ~ Ever hear of a woman a holy woman named AMMA? Google her...she is a spiritual conduit.....I am fortunate to know of her,....and I am your basic blonde blend in no one would think me anything but a Christian and I am not one. I have been a Buddhist for ...well since january of 1974.....Amma's god is not mine and she is not my god...I though raised Catholic fled it on account of the punishing they are all about....please consider what I have said....I have great respect for Mr. Chopra ~ and I bow to your humanity. Thanks
