Spiritual Laws of Success

[Guest guest]

Dear brothers and sisters,

 

Recently, I went through an excellent book - "The Seven Spiritual

Laws of Success" by Deepak Chopra. I recommend everyone to read this

book. The seven laws mentioned are

 

· The Law of Pure Potentiality

· The Law of Giving

· The Law of "Karma" or Cause and Effect

· The Law of Least Effort

· The Law of Intention and Desire

· The Law of Detachment

· The Law of "Dharma" or Purpose in Life

 

These laws can be put into effect by making a commitment to take the

following steps:

 

1. I will get in touch with the field of pure potentiality by taking

time each day to be silent, to just Be. I will also sit alone in

silent meditation at least twice a day for approximately thirty

minutes in the morning and thirty minutes in the evening.

 

2. I will take time each day to commune with nature and to silently

witness the intelligence within every living thing. I will sit

silently and watch a sunset, or listen to the sound of the ocean or a

stream, or simply smell the scent of a flower. In the ecstasy of my

own silence, and by communing with nature, I will enjoy the life

throb of ages, the field of pure potentiality and unbounded

creativity.

 

3. I will practice non-judgement. I will begin my day with the

statement, "Today, I shall judge nothing that occurs," and throughout

the day I will remind myself not to judge.

 

4. Wherever I go, and whoever I encounter, I will bring them a gift.

The gift may be a compliment, a flower, or a prayer. Today, I will

give something to everyone I come into contact with, and so I will

begin the process of circulating joy, wealth and affluence in my life

and in the lives of others.

 

5. Today I will gratefully receive all the gifts that life has to

offer me. I will receive the gifts of nature: sunlight and the sounds

of birds singing, or spring showers or the first snow of winter. I

will also be open to receiving from others, whether it be in the form

of a material gift, money, a compliment, or a prayer.

 

6. I will make a commitment to keep wealth circulating in my life by

giving and receiving life's most precious gifts: the gifts of caring,

affection, appreciation, and love. Each time I meet someone, I will

silently wish them happiness, joy, and laughter.

 

7. Today I will witness the choices I make in each moment. And in the

mere witnessing of these choices, I will bring them to my conscious

awareness. I will know that the best way to prepare for any moment in

the future is to be fully conscious in the present.

 

8. Whenever I make a choice, I will ask myself two questions: "What

are the consequences of this choice that I'm making?" and "Will this

choice bring fulfillment and happiness to me and also to those who

are affected by this choice?"

 

9. I will then ask my heart for guidance and be guided by its message

of comfort or discomfort. If the choice feels comfortable, I will

plunge ahead with abandon. If the choice feels uncomfortable, I will

pause and see the consequences of my action with my inner vision.

This guidance will enable me to make spontaneously correct choices

for myself and for all those around me.

 

10. I will practice Acceptance. Today I will accept people,

situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that

this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it

should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by

struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete.

I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.

 

11. Having accepted things as they are, I will take Responsibility

for my situation and for all those events I see as problems. I know

that taking responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for

my situation (and this includes myself). I also know that every

problem is an opportunity in disguise, and this alertness to

opportunities allows me to take this moment and transform it into a

greater benefit.

 

12. Today my awareness will remain established in Defenselessness. I

will relinquish the need to defend my point of view. I will feel no

need to convince or persuade others to accept my point of view. I

will remain open to all points of view and not be rigidly attached to

any one of them.

 

13. I will make a list of all my desires. I will carry this list with

me wherever I go. I will look at this list before I go into my

silence and meditation. I will look at it before I go to sleep at

night. I will look at it when I wake up in the morning.

 

14. I will release this list of my desires and surrender it to the

womb of creation, trusting that when things don't seem to go my way,

there is a reason, and that the cosmic plan has designs for me much

grander than even those that I have conceived.

 

15. I will remind myself to practice present-moment awareness in all

my actions. I will refuse to allow obstacles to consume and dissipate

the quality of my attention in the present moment. I will accept the

present as it is, and manifest the future through my deepest, most

cherished intentions and desires.

 

16. Today I will commit myself to detachment. I will allow myself and

those around me the freedom to be as they are. I will not rigidly

impose my idea of how things should be. I will not force solutions on

problems, thereby creating new problems. I will participate in

everything with detached involvement.

 

17. Today I will factor in uncertainty as an essential ingredient of

my experience. In my willingness to accept uncertainty, solutions

will spontaneously emerge out of the problem, out of the confusion,

disorder, and chaos. The more uncertain things seem to be, the more

secure I will feel, because uncertainty is my path to freedom.

Through the wisdom of uncertainty, I will find my security.

 

18. I will step into the field of all possibilities and anticipate

the excitement that can occur when I remain open to an infinity of

choices. When I step into the field of all possibilities, I will

experience all the fun, adventure, magic, and mystery of life.

 

19. Today I will lovingly nurture the god or goddess in embryo that

lies deep within my soul. I will pay attention to the spirit within

me that animates both my body and my mind. I will awaken myself to

this deep stillness within my heart. I will carry the consciousness

of timeless, eternal Being in the midst of time-bound experience.

 

20. I will make a list of my unique talents. Then I will list all the

things that I love to do while expressing my unique talents. When I

express my unique talents and use them in the service of humanity, I

lose track of time and create abundance in my life as well as in the

lives of others.

 

21. I will ask myself daily, "How can I serve?" and "How can I help?"

The answers to these questions will allow me to help and serve my

fellow human beings with love.
