The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

Are there any concrete laws which when you follow would ultimately lead to success? This question interests everybody who desires to succeed. If you are not looking for laws to follow that will bring you success, you will be looking for ways, ideas and opportunities to help you to succeed. This is because no one wants to be a failure, we all want to succeed.

In his book “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success”, Deepak Chopra tries to show the path to success. The path to success that he advocates is a strict obedience to laws that will ultimately lead to success. These laws are however not physical but spiritual. There are seven of such laws, hence the title “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success.” In the subsequent paragraphs I will give a gist of what these laws are but I will refrain from going too much into detail in order not to give the book away.

The first spiritual law of success is the Law of Pure Potentiality. He states that “pure consciousness is pure potentiality; it is the field of all possibilities and infinite creativity.” He goes on to show you how to follow this law.

The Law of Giving is the second spiritual law of success. He explains in detail how the Law of Giving will ultimately lead to success. He indeed stresses the importance of giving. It is perhaps one of the easiest laws to understand. It is less complex.

The Law of “Karma” is the third spiritual law. Deepak Chopra admonishes us “to become consciously aware of the choices we make in every moment.” This is because “everything that is happening at this moment is a result of the choices you’ve made in the past.”

The Law of Least Effort is the fourth spiritual law. He shows how to apply the law of Least Effort to help you to succeed. This law is important for those who believe that pushing yourself beyond the limit is all that is required for success. He advises us to look to nature and appreciate this law at work.

 The Law of Intention and Desire is the fifth spiritual law of success. He proves beyond all reasonable doubt how intention and desire together become a force powerful enough to bring about what we want. This particular law is complex however, he should be commended for his ability to break down such a complex metaphysical law for all to understand.

With respect to the sixth spiritual law of success which is the Law of Detachment, he states “in order to acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it.” He is convincing in his explanation as to why a strong adherence to this law is fundamental to success.

The Law of Dharma is seventh and final spiritual law of success. With respect to this particular law, he states “discover your divinity, find your unique talent, serve humanity with it, and you can generate all the wealth that you want.”

“The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success” is convincing, well written and interesting to read. It throws light on many neglected areas in our quest for success. He should be commended on his ability to explain to explain metaphysical principles easily for all who wish to understand. This may well be that he himself is practicing the Law of Least effort and he wants us to practice this law hence he simplifies everything so that we will not struggle to understand the book.
