Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

The Law of Dharma

We have arrived at the biggest mystery of all. What is the cosmic plan? What does our life mean in the scheme of the universe? The seventh spiritual law of success is the law of dharma or purpose in life

Everyone has a purpose in life, a unique gift or special talent to give to others. When we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals. Your unique destiny, your place in the cosmic plan, is known as dharma. Dharma implies more than seeking work that you love. Dharma is a shift in consciousness that begins by aligning yourself with your highest vision and then becoming the manifestation of that vision.

The force that bridges you to such a transformation is also known as dharma, but it’s cosmic dharma rather than individual. First comes the moment when you realize that life cannot succeed without a vision. The root of the word dharma in Sanskrit is a verb that means ‘to uphold.’ This is a valuable clue. You know you’ve become part of the cosmic design when the universe upholds and supports you. The seventh law brings the preceding six laws to fruition for when you master the dharma, the whole universe is on your side. Every law of nature comes to your aid, every power supports you spontaneously. Self-exploration isn’t a task you accomplish and then abandon. Every person is a never-ending project of the universe. We are ships in the night, and the current that holds us up and carries us toward the dawn is dharma.

We began by speaking of invisible connections; there is one connection that upholds all. The universal mind choreographs everything that is happening in billions of galaxies with elegant precision and unfaltering intelligence. Its intelligence is ultimate and supreme, permeating every fiber of existence from the smallest to the largest, from the atom to the cosmos. I am an impulse of the universe, at this particular moment in time, part of a collective wave of consciousness. After I’m gone, I’ll have done what I came to do, And that’s enough.
