Chopra on the Unified Field

Everything in nature is evolving
To a higher level of existence.
Even without trying or thinking,
Just by virtue of our existence itself,
We are evolving to a higher level of awareness.
When we are aware of this, we evolve even faster.
The unified field balances everything in creation–
The ecology of nature, the physiology of the human body,
The evolution of a human fetus into a baby.

The unified field is not constrained by
Boundaries, conceptual notions,
Or premature cognitive commitments.
The field is unbounded in space and time.
It has no limits in time;
It is beyond the outer edges of space.
The field is indestructible. Fire cannot burn it,
Water cannot wet it, Wind cannot dry it,
And weapons cannot cleave it.
It is ancient, it is unborn, it never dies.

The unified field requires nothing from the outside
Because everything is contained in the inside of the field.
Curving back within itself, it creates again and again.
This means all possibilities–
Anything that you can imagine, and more.
Therefore you have the ability to acquire anything
That falls within the realm of your imagination,
And even those things
That are currently outside the limits of your imagination.
The more you acquire,
The more your imagination will expand.
What is unimaginable today
Might become imaginable tomorrow.
But there will always be new realms
That have yet to be explored.

The effects of mediation last into our daily activity,
And soon our activity becomes saturated and influenced
By the qualities of the unified field.
This is because by experientially knowing something
We become it. Once we become it,
We begin to embody all its properties.

Tirukkural 81:803-804

Of what purpose is longstanding fellowship
If friends' familiar actions are not accepted
As one's own?
Familiar with familiarity, the wise are not annoyed
When friends do things without asking.

From the Prajnaparamita Sutra

Subhuti said: "If I understand correctly,
One who wishes to reach perfect wisdom
Should study the way things are in the world
And should practice the perfections fully and in depth
But should not believe them to be ultimately real,
Nor should he make concepts and doctrines out of them."

The Buddha replied: "Just so, Subhuti.
The one who contemplates existence in this way
Knows the nature of the conditioned and of the unconditioned
And makes himself an expert in pointing out the truth to others,
Both with words and without words."

Subhuti asked: "But is this just for the wise and the intelligent?"
"No, indeed," replied the Buddha. "This is open to all,
Even to the dull witted and to those who can't pay attention.
The door is open to anyone who wants to tread this path-
-but not to the person who is lazy and indifferent."

Diamond Sutra

Never think that I believe I should set out
A "system of teaching" to help people
Understand the way.
Never cherish such a thought.

What I proclaim is the truth as I have discovered it
And "a system of teaching" has no meaning
Because the truth can’t be cut up into pieces
And arranged in a system.

From the Yoga Vasishtha

Even as rock remains rock, carved or uncarved,
Consciousness remains consciousness
Whether the world appears or not.
The world-appearance is but an empty expression;
Its substance is nothing but consciousness.
In fact, even these manifestations and modifications
Are but Brahman, the cosmic consciousness—
Though not in the sense of manifestation or modification.
Even this distinction—modification in the sense of modification,
Or any other sense—is meaningless in Brahman.
When such expressions are used in relation to Brahman,
The meaning is quite different, like water in the mirage.-
