Interpretation
The line expresses a core theme in Chopra’s popularized Vedanta-influenced spirituality: the divine is not wholly external but latent within each person, like an “embryo” awaiting development. “To be born” frames spiritual growth as an unfolding or realization—an inner potential becoming manifest through awareness, meditation, ethical living, or self-knowledge. The quote also implies a teleology: human life has an inherent drive toward awakening, wholeness, or union with a larger consciousness. Read critically, it uses provocative theological language (“God”) to elevate human dignity and possibility, while also blurring traditional distinctions between creator and creature in favor of a nondual or panentheistic sensibility.
