What are the seven spiritual laws of success?
The seven spiritual laws of success are a set of principles that, when understood and applied, can guide us toward a more harmonious and prosperous life. These laws are not religious doctrines but universal truths that operate in the background of our existence – whether we’re aware of them or not. By consciously aligning with these laws of nature, we can harness their power to create positive change in our lives. Nature creates, flows, and blossoms effortlessly. When we step into the same current that rules the natural world instead of trying to force and manipulate things to go our way, we can enjoy an abundance of wealth, success, and happiness.
Here is a closer look at each of the seven laws of spiritual success, or as Chopra refers to them in his book, “the seven spiritual laws of life.”
The Law of Pure Potentiality
The law of pure potentiality states that our essential nature is pure consciousness, the source of infinite creativity and possibility. When you realize that your inner self is part of the same energy that creates worlds, you begin to manifest the life you want to live. In stillness, you have access to infinite creativity and in movement, you have access to infinite expression of an idea. By balancing stillness and movement, we have the power of pure potentiality.

The Law of Giving and Receiving
This principle emphasizes the natural flow of energy in the universe and the importance of both giving and receiving energy in order to allow abundance to flow in our lives. Every relationship is one of give and take and in a way, giving is the same as receiving since the two are opposite sides of the same coin. If you stop giving, you interrupt the flow of receiving and vice versa.
The Law of Karma (Cause and Effect)
The law of karma reminds us that every action generates a reaction. In Deepak Chopra’s words, “we reap what we sow.” When we support and uplift others, that supportive energy comes back to us in turn. In fact, everything that is manifest in your life in this moment is the result of past actions. That’s why it’s so important to become aware of our intentions and actions and stop creating unconsciously.

The Law of Least Effort
This law suggests that we can accomplish more by doing less, but with more focus and awareness. This law can be especially hard to intellectualize in our modern world. The natural world is abundant and functions with effortless ease, setting a perfect example for the way we can be the most effective creators in our own lives. We can embody this law by practicing acceptance and accepting responsibility for our conditions.

The Law of Intention and Desire
This principle states that every intention and desire holds within it the mechanism for its fulfillment. In other words, if you want something, you can be sure there is a way for it to become manifest thanks to cosmic organizing power beyond our wildest imaginations. The entire universe is made up of energy and energy is influenced by intention. You hold the power within yourself to reorganize energy and manifest your desires.
The Law of Detachment
Paradoxically, to acquire something in this physical universe, we must relinquish our attachment to it. This law teaches us to release our rigid expectations and trust in the wisdom of uncertainty. By letting go of our need to control outcomes, we open ourselves to infinite possibilities and allow the universe to orchestrate the best possible results for us. Attachment is based in fear and insecurity – detachment is the result of complete and total trust in the power of your Higher Self and the universe at large.

The Law of Dharma (Purpose in Life)
This law encourages us to seek our higher purpose and use our unique talents to serve others. In fact, this natural law suggests that we are in our physical bodies in the first place for exactly this reason. It’s through the combination of respecting our inner god or goddess by fostering our unique talents and constantly asking how we can help that we can discover our purpose and find fulfillment in life.

How can we use these laws for spiritual growth?
Incorporating the seven spiritual laws into our daily lives can be a powerful catalyst for spiritual growth and personal transformation. Here are some practical ways to apply these principles:
Practice Mindfulness
Practice present-moment awareness by avoiding thoughts of the past and future and focusing on the here and now. By staying fully present, you can be sure that you’re living by the seven spiritual laws of success at all times and notice when you begin to revert to unconscious patterns. Being mindful of your thoughts and choices will help you cultivate positivity through the law of karma.
Meditate
Practice daily meditation to connect with the field of pure potentiality and align with your highest self. Through meditation you can become more familiar withy your true nature which makes it easier to notice when you’re not living authentically throughout your day.

Practice generosity and gratitude
Generosity and gratitude will help you practice the law of giving and receiving effortlessly. Cultivate an attitude of generosity, giving something to everyone you encounter – whether it’s a simple smile, a compliment, or a material gift. Likewise, let the love, attention, admiration, and kindness of others sink into your deepest consciousness. It’s okay to receive the gifts that others present you with.
Practice acceptance and non-resistance
Learning to accept things as they are and take responsibility for your reality will help you align with the law of least effort. It takes too much energy to maintain facades and false identities. Humbly let go of anything that is not authentic to you.
Set clear intentions for your life
The law of intention and desire invites us to hold clear intentions without becoming too attached to the specifics of how things will play out (the law of detachment). The universe knows what you want and will and orchestrate miracles beyond belief for its manifestation.

Trust in the wisdom of nature and the universe
Look around you and marvel in the abundance and organization of the natural world. The natural world is not beholden to any five-year plans or quarterly reports and yet it goes on creating and thriving endlessly. You are just as much a part of this natural world as the trees and the butterflies. Trust that the universe has power beyond your knowledge and that you can tap into that power any time you choose.

Explore your unique talents and seek ways to use them in service to others
Align with your dharma by using your unique talent to serve your community and your planet. Not only are you creating better karma for yourself by doing so, but you’re living in alignment with your ultimate purpose leading to fulfillment and peace.
Final Thoughts
The seven spiritual laws of success offer a comprehensive framework for living a life of purpose, abundance, and spiritual fulfillment. As we align ourselves with these universal principles, we not only transform our own lives but also contribute to the evolution of collective consciousness.
In a world often driven by external measures of success, the seven spiritual laws remind us that true fulfillment comes from within. As we navigate our spiritual awakenings, let us remember that these laws are not rigid rules but an invitation to reflect on our true natures. The key is to approach them with an open heart and a willingness to explore their wisdom in our own unique ways. In doing so, we unlock the door to a life of infinite possibilities, effortless accomplishment, and profound spiritual growth.
