2. Right Intent - FOCUSED ATTENTION & INTENTION.

3. Right speech. Correct Speech (Is it true, necessary, helpful, kind, compassionate, will it make a difference in someones life? If it is not one of these, then there is no need to speak.)

4. Right Action.

When asked: "What is the value of being aware that you are aware in daily life?"

Deepak answered:

"you are NOT reactive, bc most people are like biological robots. They are bundles of conditioned reflexes and nerves that are constantly being triggered into people and circumstances and into predictable outcomes, there is no creativity, but when you are aware of awareness and not-reactive, you open a window to creativity." -DEEPAK CHOPRA
