A user asks: Whenever I tried to meditate repeating a mantra in silence initiated by my yoga teacher, I have found that the words contained in the mantra disturbs my search for calmness. I often find myself thinking about only repeating the mantra and opening my eyes after sometime with no relief whatsoever. Is it possible and is it right to just keep my eyes closed and slowly slip into quietness from within, shortly after listening to all the humdrum around me? There is always a feeling of dissatisfaction at the end f the day no matter how fast I race along with the time everyday to finish my daily chores. Please help me by highlighting on the above issue.
Deepak’s response: Meditation is much more than repeating a mantra. When one is properly instructed in how to meditate, guidance is provided on how to deal with other thoughts and feelings including thoughts about the mantra and the urge to open one’s eyes.If your yoga teacher has given you general instruction in these matters and you need additional assistance, then you should contact him or her to get clarification. If your yoga teacher has not given you formal instruction, but only told you to say a mantra, then you should seek out a qualified meditation teacher and get the full instruction that you need to meditate correctly.

A user asks: Does one’s true identity evolve or change in a lifetime? If so what factors precipitate the change?
Deepak responds: Our identity evolves in the direction of greater creativity and universality. If we pay attention to love, reflective self inquiry, meditation, selfless service we move from ordinary consciousness to soul consciousness, cosmic consciousness, divine consciousness and ultimately enlightenment.

Deepak: I’m really trying to stay stress free and positive in this crazy economy, after having worked very successfully in my field for over 15 years. This year has proved to be filled with lack of opportunity and financial security. I am trying very hard to stay positive. Do you have any more suggestions?
Deepak Responds:
Ask yourself what you can learn from this experience? Live with that question. Soon life will move you into the answer.

Deepak Chopra appeared on The Colbert Report on Wednesday, May 12, 2010. Deepak was on the show to discuss his newest book, and to give Stephen a hard time, assessing his dark side as “arrogant” but pointing out that his gift is to help people laugh.
