Utsa Maity's Key Ideas from The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
by Deepak Chopra

"What you sow, you reap." If we want happiness, we need to sow seeds of happiness. This is possible only when we are conscious about our every choice we make. We can create success only in awareness.

Our heart is a holistic and rational organ so we can rely on it for making decisions. The term Karma states that no debt ever goes unpaid in the universe. We can also transcend our past karmic debts by confronting it directly by meditating.

This law of success is based on the fact that nature's intelligence functions with effortless ease and abundant carefreeness.This is the principle of Least action and no resistance. Grass doesn't try to grow and fish doesn't try to swim, they automatically happen. Do less and accomplish more. Be in flow with nature.

3 ways to use this law-

• Acceptance - nothing ever goes wrong.
• Responsibility - not blaming anything.
• Defenselessness - not persuading anyone.

This law states that energy and information exist everywhere in nature. The whole universe is the movement of energy and information in its quantum state. We all are a convolution in this quantum field and we influence it by our intentions.

This law is similar to what has been portrayed in the Christopher Nolan film Interstellar .

This law has two aspects- attention and intention. What we focus on grows. What we remove our attention from disappears.

This law states that to acquire anything in the physical universe, one must release any attachment to it.

With detachment, you have the power to create. With attachment, you are hopeless, helpless and powerless. Attachment to money can bring insecurity. Uncertainty means infinite possibilities.

How to use this law:

1. detach, let others be as they are,
2. embrace uncertainty,
3. remain open to choices.

Dharma is a Sanskrit word which means purpose in life. This law says that we have taken manifestation in physical form to fulfill our purpose. The Divine takes human forms to fulfill its purpose. According to this law, one has a talent and a unique way of expressing it. We are all here to find out that we are spiritual beings with a human form.

How to use this law:

• spend time in silence everyday,
• list our unique talents and use them in service of humanity,
• ask "how can I help others ?"
