Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle: Insights into Our True Selves
by Reena Shah
What is life truly about? Most of us are focused on the achievements in the external world– either in the material or religious world. That is until we find a Sadguru or a spiritual teacher that shows us a path to our internal world.
Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle are two of the most prominent spiritual teachers that have been instrumental in inspiring people to internalize, manage their thoughts and be in the present. In this article, Reena has eloquently summarized the contribution of these two men who have made this world a more positive and loving place to live.
