1. SEVEN SPIRITUAL
LAWS OF SUCCESS
Prof. T. K. G. Namboodhiri
Adapted from the book
The seven spiritual laws of success
by DEEPAK CHOPRA

2. WHAT IS SUCCESS?
• Continued expansion of happiness &
realization of worthy goals
• Ability to fulfill our desires effortlessly
• Spiritually, success is our ability to co-
create with the universe efficiently and
without effort

3. SPIRIT- SOURCE OF ALL
ACHIEVEMENTS
• Ancient sages of India realized that spirit
lies at the source of all achievement in life.
• Spirit is defined as pure potentiality which
is unmanifest consciousness.
• Our desires are manifestations of the
unmanifest consciousness.
• Practice of the seven spiritual laws align
us with nature’s intelligence and our
desires are easily fulfilled.

4. 1. The law of pure potentiality
• We exist in a state of pure potentiality or
pure consciousness which is the field of
infinite creativity and all possibilities.
• Knowing who we really are gives us the
ability to fulfill any dream we have.
• When we are in harmony with nature, we
create a bond between our desires and
the power to materialize these desires.

5. Practicing the law of pure
potentiality
• Take time each day to be silent, to
connect with your spirit, to just be.
• Practice nonjudgment. Begin the day with
a resolve to not judge anything that occurs
• Commune with nature. Watch a sunset,
listen to the ocean, or simply smell the
scent of a flower

6. 2. The law of giving & receiving
• Everything in the universe operates through dynamic
exchange
• Giving and taking are different aspects of the flow of
energy in the universe
• If we stop the flow of energy, we interfere with nature’s
intelligence
• If we want love, learn to give love, if we want material
affluence, help others to become materially affluent.
• By our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep
the abundance of the universe circulating in our life

7. Practice of the law of giving &
receiving
• Give a gift to everyone you encounter, be
it a compliment, a flower or a prayer
• Gratefully receive every gift that life offers
you. Be open to receiving, whether it be a
material gift, a compliment or prayer
• Silently wish everyone you meet
happiness, joy, and laughter

8. 3. The law of cause & effect
• What you sow is what you reap
• If we want happiness, sow the seeds of
happiness
• This law of Karma implies conscious
choice making. When we choose actions
that bring happiness and success to
others, the fruit of our karma is happiness
and success.

9. Practice of the law of cause &
effect
• Witness the choices you make in every moment.
Be fully conscious of the present
• When you make a choice, ask yourself “what are
the consequences of this choice?” and “will this
choice bring happiness to everybody?”
• Ask your heart for guidance and be guided by its
message of comfort or discomfort. Go ahead
only if the message is comfortable

10. 4. The law of Least Effort
• Nature’s intelligence functions with effortless
ease, care-freeness, harmony and love. It does
less and accomplishes more
• Least effort is expended when our actions are
motivated by love, because nature is held
together by the energy of love
• Harmony and love enable creative use of energy
and easy achievement of our desires

11. Practice of the law of least effort
• Accept people, circumstances, and events as
they are in this moment. Remember “this
moment is as it should be”
• Take responsibility for your situation without
blaming anything or any one, including yourself.
Every problem is an opportunity to take this
moment and transform it into a greater benefit.
• Relinquish the need to defend your point of view
and be open to all points of view

12. 5. The law of Intention & Desire
• Intention is desire without attachment to
the outcome. By releasing our intentions
and desires in the field of pure potentiality
we activate its infinite organizing power to
work for us.
• Relinquish our attachment to the outcome.
Expect our desires to be realized when the
time is right.
• Let the universe handle the details

13. Five steps in the Law of
Intentions & Desire
• You can harness the power of intention to fulfill your
desires and dreams through the following 5 steps:
• 1) Center yourself in the silent space between thoughts-
state of being.
• 2)Release your intentions and desires with the
expectation that they will bloom when the season is right.
• 3) Keep your desires to yourself, do not share them with
anyone
• 4) Relinquish your attachment to the outcome
• 5) Let the universe handle the details.

14. Practice of the law of intention &
desire
• Make a list of your intentions and desires. Look
at this list before going into silence, sleep, and
after waking in the morning.
• Release your desires to the field of pure
potentiality, trusting it to handle all the details
and bring you the results when the time is right.
• Practice present moment awareness in all
actions and refuse to allow obstacles from taking
your attention.

15. 6. The Law of Detachment
• The way to acquire anything in the world is
to relinquish our attachment to it.
• We do not give up the intention or the
desire, we give up only the attachment to
the outcome.
• Anything we want can be achieved
through detachment, because detachment
comes from our unquestioning belief of the
power of the self.

16. Practice of the law of
detachment
• Practice detached involvement. Let go of
your idea of how things should be. Be alert
to the opportunity within every problem.
• Accept uncertainty as an essential part of
your experience. Solutions will appear
spontaneously.
• Remain open to all possibilities and enjoy
every moment of your life.

17. 7. The Law of Dharma
• According to the law of Dharma or Purpose of
Life, we are spiritual beings who have taken
physical form to fulfill a purpose. It has 3
components:
• 1) Each of us has to discover our true self.
• 2) Each of us has a unique talent that no one
else has.
• 4) We are here to serve our fellow beings with
our talent so that we experience the ecstasy and
exultation of our spirit. This is the goal of all
goals.

18. Practice of the Law of Dharma
• Nurture the divinity within you, the spirit
animating your body and mind by being
conscious of timeless Being in the midst of time-
bound experience.
• Make a list of all your unique talents. Then list all
the things you love to do while expressing these
talents.
• Ask yourself daily “how can I help?” & “how can I
serve?”. Let your actions be according to the
answers. Serve your fellow human beings with
love.

within us and experience every moment of life as
miraculous expressions of divinity.
