Self-Improvement

Paper Summary:

The paper contends that Chopra's book is basically like all the other spiritual and self-help books. The writer presents a somewhat cynical attitude to the advice given in the book, claiming that it is all the same: people create their own realities; if you love something set it free; when you point your finger at someone, there are three pointing back at yourself ; and so on. The paper acknowledges that, basically, living and loving are hard work!

From the Paper:

"The spiritual meaning of love can heal, renew, inspire, make one safe and closer to God, " everything love is meant to do is possible" (Chopra 3). Most people experience love as "pleasure, sex, security, having someone else fulfill their daily needs...the normal cycle of love is simply to find a suitable partner, marry, and raise a family," but this social pattern is not truly a path (Chopra 4). In most lifelong relationships, love fades or evolves into companionship without growing in its inner dimension and a spiritual path has only one reason to exist, to show "the way for the soul to grow...and when you find your path, you will find your love story" (Chopra 4)."
