Dear Friends,

We all understand the painful situation ppl are going thourgh after v-bulletin events, and no doubt this is very tough for many friends, beside we also should not forget that getting G.C is not everything in life nor it is sucess and neither it gives happines in life.

What is Happiness and sucess of life? you may find a very good knowledge/wisdom in a book 'Seven Laws for Spiritual Success" by "Deepak Chopra".

This is NOT a religious book and not representing any particular religion, neither the laws was invented/created by Author, The Law is Universal Law and it is shared/explained by 'Dr Chopra' very wisely.

All I can say, those ppl who are desperatly looking for some guide, and help to understand and find solution of the situation they are in, they should try to understand the 'Law of detachment' .

Before you start, understand the EGO.

Do you know people who:

Desperately try to get or buy something, only to be disappointed and bored when they finally do get it!

Feel other people are to blame for their suffering? - like a victim? - they constantly talk about their past suffering? like a broken record (but do nothing about resolving the issues)

Use guilt trips, emotional blackmail, threats & ultimatums to get what they want?

Think they are the best, (arrogant, vain) and feel other people should treat them with respect?

Know our vulnerabilities and push our buttons?

Crave attention? - through intimidating (bullying) / interogating / being a victim, or being aloof?

Seek approval? and they only like people who praise and agree with them ? (Narcissistic Leader)

Are often unhappy? feeling restless, agitated, distracted, unconscious, dissatisfied?

Regularly have the following mental states: envy, jealousy, greed, desire, lust, hatred, anger, pride, self centredness?

Often say,'what's in it for me?'

Talk about 'me, me, me', or 'I, I, I'

or maybe you are like this, sometimes ?

Ego is the absence of true knowledge of who we really are, together with its result: a doomed clutching on, at all costs, to a cobbled together and makeshift image of ourselves, an inevitably chameleon charlatan self that keeps changing, and has to, to keep alive the fiction of its existence.

In Tibetan, ego is called dakdzin , which means “grasping to a self.” Ego is then defined as incessant movements of grasping at a delusory notion of “I” and “mine,” self and other, and all the concepts, ideas, desires, and activities that will sustain that false construction.

This is most often the false self - the negative ego talking!!

"Every single negative thing we have ever thought or done has ultimately arisen from our grasping at a false self, and our cherishing of that false self, making it the dearest and most important element in our lives. All those negative thoughts, emotions, desires, and actions that are the cause of our negative karma are engendered by self-grasping and self-cherishing. They are the dark, powerful magnet that attracts to us, life after life, every obstacle, every misfortune, every anguish, every disaster, and so they are the root cause of all the sufferings of samsara." (Sogyal Rinpoche)



Law of Karma
Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind...what we sow is what we reap. And when we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our karma is happiness and success.

Witness Choices in each moment - best to be fully conscious / aware in the moment

Evaluate Consequences of your choices - will choice bring happiness to those around me

Listen with your Heart -ask your heart for guidance - be guided - look for feeling of comfort / discomfort​


Law of least effort
Nature's intelligence functions with effortless ease...with carefreeness, harmony, and love. And when we harness the forces of harmony, joy, and love, we create success and good fortune with effortless ease.

Practise Acceptance - accept people as are - know that this moment is as it is supposed to be

Take Responsibility for actions, not blaming others/ thinhgs

Have your awareness in Defenselessness - no need to persuade others - don't be attached rigidly to one point of view


Law of Giving and Receiving
The universe operates through dynamic exchange...giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.

Give something to everyone you meet eg. not necessarily money, can be gift, compliment, or silent blessing or prayer.

Be open to receive from others. Gratefully Receive gifts, nature, sunlight, snow etc.

Make commitment to Circulate, caring, appreciating and loving

Pure Potentiality
The source of all creation is pure consciousness...pure potentiality seeking expression from the unmanifest to the manifest. And when we realize that our true Self is one of pure potentiality, we align with the power that manifests everything in the universe.



Practise Silent Meditation - 15 minutes in morning & night, ideally 30mins dawn & dusk

Commune With Nature - appreciate the beauty

Practise Non-Judgement - say to yourself Today I shall Judge Nothing

Law of Intention and desire
Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment...intention and desire in the field of pure potentiality have infinite organizing power. And when we introduce an intention in the fertile ground of pure potentiality, we put this infinite organizing power to work for us.

Present Moment Awareness - slip into silence

List Desires - keep them to yourself

Release your desires to the Universe - relinquishing attachment and outcome


Law of detachment
In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty...in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, 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.

Commit self to Detached Involvement - no rigid or forced solutions

Wisdom of Uncertainty leads to freedom -

Open to Infinite Possibilities of choices and outcomes​


Law of Dharma
Everyone has a purpose in life...a unique or special talent to give to others. And 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.

Discover the Higher Self - beyond and above ego - spend time in silence

List Your Unique Talents - that lead to state of bliss

Serve Others - ask yourself how can I help? Rather tham what's in it for me - share more, treat people like your brother's and sister's​
