CORE MESSAGE
You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny.
- Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

WHAT IS SUCCESS?
Success is not simply material wealth. Success is a journey, and it includes much more than material wealth which is only one component that makes this journey enjoyable. Success is good health, energy, enthusiasm for life, fulfilling relationships, creative freedom, emotional and psychological stability, a sense of well-being, and peace of mind. It is also the unfolding of the divinity within us to live in harmony with the natural laws of life.

WHAT IS SUCCESS?
Success is not the result of hard work, exacting plans, or driving ambition but comprehending our basic nature as a human being and abiding by natural laws. When we understand these laws and apply them in our lives, anything we want can be created, because the same laws that nature uses to create a forest, or a star, or a human body can also bring about the fulfillment of our deepest desires.

The Law of Giving

The universe operates through dynamic exchange giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. In our willingness to give what we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.

If we hold on to our money and hoard it, we will stop its circulation back into our lives. In order to ensure energy coming back to us, we have to keep the energy circulating.

The Law of Giving

Give something to everyone you meet. It may not necessarily be money. It can simply be a gift, a compliment or a silent blessing or prayer. Be open to receive from others. Receive gifts gratefully even gifts of nature, sunlight, snow etc. Make a commitment to circulate care, appreciation attention, affection and love. The more you give, the more you will receive.

The Law of Karma

Karma is both action and the consequence of that action it is simultaneously cause and effect.

Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in the like kind.
What we sow is what we reap If we want to create happiness in our lives, we must learn to sow the seeds of happiness.

The Law of Karma

Karma implies making conscious choices. Everything that happens to us is a result of the choices we have made in the past. Some choices may have been made unconsciously, but they are choices nevertheless. If one is aware of the choices one is making, one will tend to make choices that are correct, both for oneself as well as for others.

The Law of Karma

Implementing the Law of Karma: Witness choices in each moment, and be fully conscious and aware of the choices. Evaluate the consequences of your choices. Ask yourself if this will bring happiness to those around you. Listen with your heart ask your heart for guidance, allow yourself to be guided, and look for a feeling of comfort/discomfort.

The Law of Least Effort

Natures intelligence functions with effortless ease flowers bloom effortlessly without trying to just as birds fly spontaneously.

In Vedic Science, this is known as the principle of economy of effort do less and accomplish more.
There is a faint idea, and the manifestation of that idea comes about effortlessly.

The Law of Least Effort

Least effort is expended when our actions are motivated by love, harmony and joy. If we try to seek power and control over other people for the sake of ego, we waste energy in chasing the illusion of happiness instead of enjoying happiness in the moment. However, when the action is motivated by love, the energy multiplies and accumulates, and the surplus energy can be channeled to create whatever you want, including wealth.

The Law of Least Effort

Three components of the Law of Least Effort:

1) Practise Acceptance Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances and events as they occur.
This means that I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be.

The Law of Least Effort

2) Take responsibility for your actions Do not blame anyone or anything for your situation, including yourself. This allows you to have a creative response to the situation. Every problem contains the seeds of opportunity, and this awareness allows you to take the moment and transform it into a better situation.

The Law of Least Effort

3) Defenselessness There is no need to convince or persuade others about your point of view. If you relinquish this need, you will gain access to enormous amounts of energy that have been wasted earlier.

The Law of Intention and Desire

Inherent in every intention and desire is the
mechanics for its fulfillment. And when we introduce an intention in our pure potentiality, we put this infinite organizing power to work for us.
The whole universe, in its essential nature, is the movement of energy and information. You can consciously change the energy and informational content of your body and therefore influence the energy and informational content of your extended body your environment, and cause things to manifest in it.

The Law of Intention and Desire

Be aware of the present moment by slipping
into silence
List desires, and keep them to yourself. Release your desires to the Universe relinquish attachment and outcome.

The Law of Detachment

In order to acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it. You dont give up the intention to create your desire, but you give up your attachment to the result. Anything you want can be acquired through detachment, because detachment is based on the unquestioning belief in the power of your true Self.

The Law of Detachment

In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty...in the wisdom of uncertainty lies freedom from our past, from the unknown, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe. Detachment is synonymous with wealth consciousness, because with detachment there is freedom to create.

The Law of Detachment

Commit self to detached involvement there are no rigid or forced solutions. Wisdom of Uncertainty leads to freedom. Open to infinite possibilities of choices and outcomes.

The Law of Dharma

Dharma, in Sanskrit means purpose in life.
Everyone has a purpose in life a unique gift to give to others. And when we blend this talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal all goals. Expressing your talents to fulfill needs creates unlmited wealth and abundance.
