Taken from the site of Deepak Chopra, here are The Seven Laws of Spiritual Success:
The Law of Pure Potentiality
Take time to be silent – to just BE. Meditate for 30 minutes twice a day. Silently witness the intelligence within every living thing. Practice non-judgment. We have unlimited pure potentiality all around us – we just need to be open and ready to lock into one thing. The universe gives us the ability to manifest and do what we like – we just have to know how to get it. There is unlimited pure potential.
The Law of Giving and Receiving
Today, bring whoever you encounter a gift: a compliment or flower. Gratefully receive gifts. Keep wealth circulating by giving and receiving care, affection, appreciation, and love. We have to have the ability to receive — when a person gives us something and we say "no", that is creating an imbalance. It is important to give every day: give thanks, gratitude, support, love, freedom — what you can afford — even time. All that you give, you will receive back bigger and better than ever.
The Law of Karma
Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind. Choosing actions that bring happiness and success to others ensures the flow of happiness and success to you. Everything you do has choices and generates energy that will be returned to you. Before you do something, you can check to see if it is the highest and the best for you. You will know if it is good for you — if you feel good. Instead, if it feels like a knot in your belly after a choice, that may not have been the highest and the best. But each choice is a learning experience.
The Law of Least Effort
Accept people, situations, and events as they occur. Take responsibility for your situation; and for all events that are seen as problems. Relinquish the need to defend your point of view. This one goes against what we have learned – set a goal and work hard, spend a lot of time, you need to work hard to get things... . Wrong. The universe and nature finds the path of least resistance which is the path of least effort. We need to work smart and listen to the signs — that the universe is giving us — that is the path of least effort. When in a chaos, do not get caught up in it and let your objective get to you. Take time and breathe, and then just flow in the situation — the outcome will turn out to be better than you could have imagined.
The Law of Intention and Desire
Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment. Make a list of desires, trust that when things don't seem to go your way, there is a reason. Set your intentions and desires and then let them be. You may really want one outcome and think that it is the best, but if it does not happen, then understand that it is because there is something better for you. If you force it, you may get it but you will not be happy or be what you thought it was. Set your intentions and desires — that are the highest and the best for you.
The Law of Detachment
Allow yourself and others the freedom to be who they are. Do not force solutions – allow solutions to spontaneously emerge. Uncertainty is essential in your path to freedom. This is also in the same vein as the Law of Least Effort, where you set your intentions and desires and let them be. Do not force it or keep working at it, as you will be missing the real opportunities happening for that intention. Also as the Law of Intention and Desire, do not be attached to one outcome – because that outcome may not be in the highest and best interest for you. Instead you will get something better if you pay attention to the signs.
The Law of Dharma
Seek your higher self. Discover your unique talents. Ask yourself how you are best suited to serve humanity. The acts of using your unique talents and serving others bring unlimited bliss and abundance. When you live your life as if everything you do is for the highest and best for everybody, you will be the happiest; and you will find that all of the other laws are working for you. You know you are in this when you put in little effort and due it, you will accomplish many things.
