Renowned speaker and M.D. Deepak Chopra, founder of the Chopra Center for Well Being, has authored fifty-five books on achieving health through mind and body wellness. Merging the concepts of spirituality and body, Chopra has written a book where he presents The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. By implementing these laws, every person can lead a life of happiness and success.
1. The Law of Pure Potentiality
Chopak’s law of pure potentiality tells us that we are all pure energy, unbound consciousness. Because we are energy, we are also full of the potential to be anything. This energy binds us together, intertwining every piece of matter in the universe. It is the force of life, penetrating and surrounding everything. You can do anything, be anyone. It is this law upon which the others are built. May the force be with you.
2. The Law Of Giving
The universe’s energy must be kept flowing. To maintain a positive energy flow, we each need to be constantly giving, and receiving. This does not mean that you must hand your coat to every homeless person you pass, but it suggests that you should freely give a smile, a compliment, or a hug – giving someone a cold isn’t what this law has in mind.
3. The Law Of Karma
Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. When you are positive, sending good vibrations into space, then positive energy comes right back to you. Think of it as a boomerang: If you are an honest, happy person, and treat people with respect, you throw honesty, happiness, and respect out into the world, and those feelings will be returned to you. Send out negativity, and the boomerang might hit you in the head on its way back.
4. The Law Of Least Effort
Don’t worry; be happy. Always try to take the road with the fewest obstacles. For example, it is easier to simply move to the right lane, and let an aggressive driver pass us, than it is to engage in road rage. This law is not about you sitting on the couch, watching B-movies all day, eating bon bons. This law is about understanding that letting things simply happen around us is the least effort, and puts you in such an accepting state that you will be able to achieve all that is important to you.
5. The Law Of Intention And Desire
If your energy is made up of positive intentions and a strong desire for something, then you send that thought, in the form of energy, into the universe; the universe, in turn, will provide. This idea is similar to The Secret, which talks about the Law of Attraction. Now, that does not mean that simply wishing for a new motorcycle will make a Harley appear in your driveway, but it does mean that by focusing your intentions in a positive way, you can have everything that you desire.
6. The Law Of Detachment
While positive focus on our desires is important, we must also be detached from the end result. In this way, we trust in the universe to deliver what we need, rather than giving in to negative emotions such as fear, doubt, craving, and dissatisfaction. If you are obsessed with that new camera you want, take a step back, realize that your camera is fine for now, and the universe will provide a new one in time. Of course, if you are obsessed with the clerk at Walmart, buying a new pair of socks every day just to see her, then you need to do more than detach, you need to reattach yourself with reality – and maybe seek counseling before she gets a restraining order.
7. The Law Of Dharma
The final law is the Law of Dharma, with “dharma” being the ancient Sanskrit word for “purpose in life.” Here, we must recognize that each of us has a special gift to share with the world. Dharma tells us that we each must discover our true Self, find a way to express our own special talents, and use our talent to serve mankind. Your purpose might be to heal people, write a great American novel, save the whales – whatever it is, through discovering your purpose, will you experience a more fulfilling life.
With the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, you can use positive energy and focus to become the master of your destiny. While it may seem a bit of an oxymoron that you have to be detached to get the things that are important to you, or put in the least effort to achieve your goals in life, the point is that by being positive, putting positive energy into the universe, and working to achieve a common universal good, these things will be returned to you tenfold.
