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 andpsychological 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.


5/31

WHAT IS SUCCESS Success is not the result of hard work, exacting

plans, or driving ambition but comprehendingour 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 becreated, because the same laws that natureuses to create a forest, or a star, or a humanbody can also bring about the fulfillment of our

deepest desires.

The Law of Giving

The universe operates through dynamic

exchangegiving and receiving are differentaspects of the flow of energy in the universe.

In our willingness to give what we seek, wekeep the abundance of the universe circulatingin our lives.

If we hold on to our money and hoard it, we willstop its circulation back into our lives. In orderto ensure energy coming back to us, we have to

keep the energy circulating.


15/31

The Law of Giving

Give something to everyone you meet. It may

not necessarily be money. It can simply be agift, a compliment or a silent blessing or prayer.

Be open to receive from others. Receive giftsgratefullyeven 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.


16/31

The Law of Karma

Karma is both action and the consequence ofthat actionit 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 reapIf we want to

create happiness in our lives, we must learn to

sow the seeds of happiness.


17/31

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. Somechoices 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.


18/31

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 heartask your heart for

guidance, allow yourself to be guided, and look

for a feeling of comfort/discomfort.


19/31


20/31

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 theillusion of happiness instead of enjoying happiness in

the moment.

However, when the action is motivated by love, theenergy multiplies and accumulates, and the surplus

energy can be channeled to create whatever you

want, including wealth.


21/31


Three components of the Law of Least Effort:

1) Practise AcceptanceToday 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.


22/31


2) Take responsibility for your actions

Do not blame anyone or anything for your

situation, including yourself. This allows you tohave a creative response to the situation.

Every problem contains the seeds ofopportunity, and this awareness allows you totake the moment and transform it into a bettersituation.


23/31


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.


24/31

The Law of Intention and

Desire

Inherent in every intention and desire is themechanics 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 andinformational content of your body and therefore

influence the energy and informational content of

your extended bodyyour environment, and

cause things to manifest in it.


25/31

The Law of Intention and

Desire

Be aware of the present moment by slippinginto silence

List desires, and keep them to yourself.

Release your desires to the Universerelinquish attachment and outcome.


26/31


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.


27/31


In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty...inthe 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.


28/31


Commit self to detached involvementthere areno rigid or forced solutions.

Wisdom of Uncertainty leads to freedom.

Open to infinite possibilities of choices and

outcomes.


29/31

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.


30/31

The Law of Dharma

Three components of the Law of Dharma:

Each of us is here to discover our true self.

We are born to express our unique talents and theexpression of that talent takes us into timeless

awareness.

Service to humanity


31/31

The Law of Dharma

When you combine the ability to express your

unique talent with service to humanity, you make

full use of the Law of Dharma.

rather than what is in it for you.
