The 7 spiritual laws of success are nothing but a chain of actions towards easily targeting money, success, joy, and peace in your life, all at a time. The laws that we are about to explain are the summary of the book “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success” written by Deepak Chopra, the famous Indian-American spiritual author.
I would try to keep it short and concise and will advise you to definitely read the original book for knowledge supplement in full. Without wasting any more time, let’s take a dive into the spiritual realm of the universe to understand these 7 laws of success.
7 Spiritual Laws of Success
1st Law-The Law of Pure Potentiality
The Law
When we start to live in a moment of self-realization, we experience our true potentiality.
Explanation
We constantly live in an ego-driven object-referred world. In an object-referred environment, our actions are constantly driven by the objects we are associated with, such as the fear of social security, family status, job, and materialistic possessions. Here, we identify our existence with a physical body and a limited brain function.
On the contrary, when our actions are driven by our soul, we live in the moment of self-realization. In this state, we lose our human existence and feel an ocean of unmatched potential within. You no longer feel like a separate entity from the rest of the universe. Thus, you attain a higher level of creativity and prompt the universe to support your actions.
How to practice it?
To tap your unmatched potential, simply practice 10-15 minutes(the more the better) of silent meditation every day in the lap of nature. Under such moments of profound silence, your mind experiences a peacefulness and connectedness with the universe. It calms your mind, body and soul. A calm body dissolves the ego, and with your ego no longer in charge, you enter into the zone of self-realization.
You can also achieve true potentiality by practising the law of non-judgment. When we judge others, we squeeze our internal dialogues and block the source of unlimited power present within us. It is those silent moments between our thoughts where we experience the unbounded energy of the universe. So, try to practice non-judgment for at least 8 hours in a day and keep increasing the limit further.
2nd Law: The Law of Giving
The Law
Keep circulating the most precious gifts of life to retain the balance of affluence in the universe.
Explanation
The Latin meaning of the word “Currency” is to circulate which means, to create a flow in the society. However, the art of giving and receiving doesn’t apply to money only. In fact, it is applicable to love, friendship, care and every other social currency that we expect from others for our survival in society.
Holding your money in the bank account is a sign to the universe that you no longer want to receive any more. Instead invest them or help someone in need and the universe will circulate back more money to your bank account. In fact, the most powerful social currencies are non-materialistic such as love, wish, gratitude, care, etc.
How to practice it?
There are two ways to practice this law. First, when you meet someone, give something with your full heart- it can be a wish for his goodwill, a prayer for his quick recovery or motivation for his ongoing struggle.
Second, when you visit someone’s house, take a gift with you, no matter how small. Even a single flower or a small card with your lovely handwritten note on it will do.
Lastly, make a commitment to stick to these principles for the rest of your life.
3rd Law: The Law of “Karma” or Cause and Effect
The Law
Make your Karma revolutionary for reaping the fruits of constant happiness and success.
Explanation
It is undoubtedly true that we are the results of our actions from the past. Our actions are driven by our emotions, and most of them are indeed triggered by our brain unconsciously.
When we make unconscious decisions, we invite unwanted troubles to our life. Instead, we can simply maximize the number of favourable outcomes by making conscious decisions. That means to analyze our thoughts before converting them to actions.
For instance, we end up shopping for more junk foods than required because our survival instinct tells us to pile up cheap foods in advance. Instead, the right approach should be to decide the budget and then go for food items that are healthy and offer the best values in terms of price paid.
How to practice it?
Before making any decision, bring your thoughts into your consciousness and ask your heart about its possible consequence. If you get a firm body sensation in response, then it is the right decision to make. Else, you will feel a level of discomfort. If you feel so, be a silent watcher and let your heart show you the possible consequences through your inner vision.
4th Law: The Law of Least Effort
The Law
We can inherit the law of nature to drive its functions with least efforts and achieve our goals without any hassle.
Explanation
All functions of nature happen at a slow pace without any effort. A tree grows from small to big without any effort. It happens spontaneously in harmony with nature. Just like nature, we have unlimited energy to make our actions of least effort to produce fruitful results. But when we spend our energies to fulfil the desires set by our ego, we block that spontaneous flow of energy inside us.
The “Do less and gain more” philosophy is achievable provided you work with love. When you perform your duties out of love, no energy is spent on your ego, and you get the full advantage of the law of least effort present inside you by default.
How to practice it?
There are three ways to practice the law of least effort. First, accept the present situation as it is instead of frustrating over its expected scenario. This will create a psychological foundation to deal with the current situation. Second, take responsibility and do what is needed in the present scenario. Third, play defenselessness and stop defending your point of views in front of others. Thereby, you will save energy to be used on building resistance and experience life flowing at effortless ease.
5th Law: The Law of Intention and Desire
The Law
You can make the universe work for your intentions by channelling your infinite organizing power through constant attention.
Explanation
The quantum field of the universe is filled with information and energy everywhere. All it takes is a strong intention on the foundation of firm attention to use them for achieving our goals and for the benefits of others.
There are two elements to achieve our goals- attention and intention. Attention energizes, and intention transforms. Attention channels our energy in the right direction, and intention helps us stand still against all odds. On top of that, we need a strong organizing power to give it a smooth flow without any obstructions.
The human body has an infinite level of organizing power. That can only be accessed through conscious intent. Intentions desired under a conscious environment are called conscious intent. Unlike other animals, humans are blessed with conscious intent that has intense flexibility. So, just by making conscious intent and channelling our energies with focused attention, we can achieve any big goal without any hassle.
How to practice it?
Perform the following steps to tap your strong intentions. First, go into the level of being by becoming conscious. Second, state your intentions. Third, remain in the state of consciousness to harness your true potentiality. Fourth, gently release your desires. Lastly, let the universe tailor the actions for your intentions to manifest. By staying committed to the above steps, you will find it easy to manifest your desires with ease.
6th Law: The Law of Detachment
The Law
To achieve anything in this world, you just need to detach yourself from the results without relinquishing your desires in the first place.
Explanation
Our desires motivate our actions. But when we set expectations for our actions, we feel insecure about the unfavourable outcomes. That fear, anxiety and insecurity inside of us send a mixed bag of emotions to the universe, and we unknowingly delay our manifestations.
The ideal way of approach should involve desires of manifestation without any expectations. When we build detachment with the results, we enter into the zone of uncertainties. It is a fertile ground of pure creativity and helps us stay prepared to be in peace with any possible outcome.
Living in a world of uncertainties is very exciting. You enjoy every moment of your life without knowing what may surface the next day, the next year. This sense of alertness in the moment of present empowers you to easily think of a range of possibilities and seize every opportunity that comes your way around.
How to practice it?
Make a commitment to work in an environment of detachment with results. Second, accept uncertainty as an essential element of success and think of it as a path to freedom. Third, enter into the field of possibilities and stay open to all types of outcomes and excitements that are going to come with it for sure.
7th Law: The Law of Dharma
The Law
When your unique talents meet the unique needs of the world, it creates affluence.
Explanation
According to the law of Dharma, each one of us has a true self. Thus, you need to ask yourself what you are really good at doing that can meet the needs of others at the same time. That’s because when you do what you’re good at doing, you do it with passion. You, undoubtedly, create good results and offer the best solutions to those in need of your service. Working in such a deeply-involved environment caters to more money and success, thereby creating an abundance of joy and fulfilment.
When you explore your unique talents, you lose track of time. Try the above advice to find your real talent through experiments. In case you’re already aware of your unique ability, ask yourself how to use that for the benefit of mankind. When you devote your talents towards solving the problems of others, you attract unlimited joy, money and success.
How to practice it?
Everyday meditate for at least thirty minutes in silence to get in touch with your higher self. At that moment, list the unique abilities that you can perform to create abundance for yourself and others. See the possible ways to make the world a better place to live in with those unique abilities as your primary source of living.
