Outside world Quote by Deepak Chopra
““The ego wants to acquire things out of insecurity, out of a sense of lack. Remind yourself that everything comes and goes except the soul. It's from the soul that a person gains a sense of inner fulfillment. The soul lacks nothing and therefore has no anxiety about the outside world: gain is not a need, loss is not a threat.””
About This Quote
Insecurity drives ego to seek external gains, but true fulfillment comes from the unchanging soul, which is free from anxiety about loss or gain.
