The Seven Essential Laws of
Success
Introduction:
Achieving success in life is a journey filled with challenges and uncertainties. While there is no guaranteed formula for success, valuable insights can be gleaned from the lives of accomplished individuals. H.W. Armstrong identifies and delves into these lessons, presenting them as the "Seven Laws of Success." Through a thorough examination of successful lives, Armstrong brings to light fundamental principles that can be considered as guiding laws for those aspiring to reach the pinnacle of success.
1. "Fix The
Right Goal":
Setting the right
goal is the initial spark that ignites ambition. Successful individuals have
consistently demonstrated the importance of having a clear, defined objective.
Without a specific goal, progress remains elusive. Armstrong emphasizes the
need for a well-defined destination and strategic plans to propel oneself
toward success.
2.
"Education Or Preparation":
Education is not confined to formal learning but extends to the holistic development of an individual. Successful people recognize the importance of continuous learning, encompassing not only academic knowledge but also personal growth, leadership skills, and experiential learning. Armstrong underscores the multifaceted nature of education in achieving success.
3. "Good
Health":
The adage
"you are what you eat" underscores the significance of a healthy
lifestyle. Armstrong highlights the pivotal role of proper nutrition in
preventing illness. Beyond diet, he emphasizes the importance of other health
laws, including sufficient sleep, exercise, fresh air, cleanliness, and mental
well-being. Maintaining the body and mind in harmony with nature's laws is
crucial for lasting success.
4.
"Drive":
Success requires action, and an individual's level of activity determines their accomplishments. Armstrong asserts that success is an ongoing process that demands constant drive and energy. A successful person not only propels themselves forward but also motivates and guides those around them. Without vigor and persistent effort, true success remains elusive.
5.
"Resourcefulness":
Life is replete
with challenges that demand resourcefulness. Armstrong underscores the
importance of maintaining composure in the face of unexpected obstacles. Rapid
thinking, sound reasoning, and clear decision-making characterize resourceful
individuals. Cultivating a calm and collected mindset enables one to navigate
through emergencies and setbacks effectively.
6.
"Perseverance":
In the face of
adversity, perseverance becomes the catalyst for turning potential failure into
triumphant success. Armstrong notes that many individuals fall short of their
goals due to a lack of determination and faith. A little more effort, combined
with unwavering perseverance, can transform challenges into victories.
Perseverance is the key to overcoming obstacles on the path to success.
7. "Contact
with God":
The ultimate law
of success, according to Armstrong, is establishing a connection with the
all-powerful Creator. This law, positioned last for emphasis, underscores the
vital role of seeking continuous guidance and help from a higher source.
Armstrong suggests that, beyond human capabilities, the divine factor plays a
significant role in determining the ultimate success or failure of one's life.
The seventh law encourages maintaining a profound and ongoing connection with
the all-powerful God for lasting fulfillment and success.
Dadaji's Profound Teachings: Direct Communion
with the Divine
In a world where mortal beings often assume the role of spiritual guides, Amiya Roy Chowdhury, affectionately known as Dadaji, staunchly rejects the prevalent concept of 'gurubad' in the country. According to Dadaji, there can be no mortal guru for another mortal being; rather, he asserts that God Himself is our sole guru. In his messages, Dadaji emphasizes the direct, continuous, and everlasting relationship we share with the Divine, debunking the need for intermediaries. Moreover, he advocates that leading a life of seclusion, abstinence, penance, and austerity is unnecessary for spiritual growth.
Dadaji's
teachings delve into the transformative power of complete surrender to the
Supreme Being. He asserts that emancipation, realization, and salvation are
achievable only through surrendering every aspect of oneself, including
consciousness, to the Divine.
The third message
imparts the wisdom that conquering and subduing ego (ahankar) is essential for
experiencing Divine Grace. Dadaji describes ego as an iron curtain separating
individuals from the Divine, emphasizing that dismantling this barrier is crucial
for unity with the Supreme.
Dadaji's fourth
message highlights the significance of silence and emptiness in the heart and
mind, allowing the Divine to fill the void. Drawing inspiration from
Wordsworth, he describes moments of divine visitation where thought ceases, and
oneness with the Living God is realized.
Rejecting
discrimination based on caste, creed, race, nationality, color, or religion,
Dadaji's teachings underscore the realization of Absolute Truth as a remedy for
social and economic inequity. He envisions a world united by the oneness of the
human soul, achievable through the repetition of Mahanama.
Dadaji encourages a spirit of self-enquiry, prompting individuals to reflect on their identity, purpose in taking a human body, and the path and duty they should follow. He assures that surrendering to the Truth Absolute will lead to answers from the Supreme within.
Dadaji's messages
transcend religious boundaries, offering guidance for a collective and
promising future. They align with the age-old Indian doctrine that posits the
Divine's presence in us when we live, move, and act in harmony with the
Divine—a profound philosophy echoing the spirit of a future where earthly life
transforms into the Divine.
IF HE EXIST
I drive joy
there was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening
for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him.
One day they argued that he was wasting 7 precious minutes on something, which
he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not
exist, I agree that I am wasting 7 minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am
afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste 7 minutes rather
than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.-
