The seventh spiritual law of success is the Law of Dharma. Dharma is a Sanskrit word that means "purpose in life." The Law of Dharma says that we have taken manifestation in physical form to fulfill a purpose. The field of pure potentiality is divinity in its essence, and the divine takes human form to fulfill a purpose.
According to this law, you have a unique talent and a unique way of expressing it. There is something that you can do better than anyone else in the whole world - and for every unique talent and unique expression of that talent, there are also unique needs. When these needs are matched with the creative expression of your talent, that is the spark that creates affluence.
Expressing your talents to fulfill needs creates unlimited wealth and abundance.
There are three components to the Law of Dharma.
The first component says that each of us is here to discover our true Self, to find out on our own that our true Self is spiritual, that essentially we are spiritual beings that have taken manifestation in physical form. We´re not human beings that have occasional spiritual experiences - it´s the other way around: we´re spiritual beings that have occasional human experiences.
Each of us is here to discover our higher self or our spiritual self. That?s the first fulfillmentof the Law of Dharma. We must find out for ourself that inside us is a god or goddess in embryothat wants to be born so that we can express our divinity.
The second component of the Law of Dharma is to express our unique talents. The Law of Dharma says that every human being has a unique talent. You have a talent that is unique in its expression, so unique that there´s no one else alive on this planet that has that talent, or that expression of that talent. This means that there´s one thing you can do, and one way of doing it, that is better than anyone else on this entire planet. When you´re doing that one thing, you lose track of time. When you´re expressing that one unique talent that you possess - or more than one unique talent in many cases - the expression of that talent takes you into timeless awareness.
The third component of the Law of Dharma is service to humanity - to serve your fellow human beings and to ask yourself the questions, "How can I help? How can I help all those that I come into contact with?" When you combine the ability to express your unique talent with service to humanity, then you make full use of the Law of Dharma.
And coupled with the experience of your own spirituality, the field of pure potentiality, there is no way you will not have access to unlimited abundance, because that is the real way abundance is achieved.
This is not a temporary abundance; it´s permanent, because of your unique talent, your way of expressing it, and your service and dedication to your fellow human beings, which you discover through asking the question, "How can I help?" instead of "What´s in it for me?"
The question, "What´s in it for me?" is the internal dialogue of the ego.
Asking "How can I help?" is the internal dialogue of the spirit.
The spirit is that domain of your awareness where you experience your universality. In just shifting your internal dialogue from "What´s in it for me?" to "How can I help?" you automatically go beyond the ego into the domain of your spirit.
While meditation is the most useful way of entering the domain of spirit, simply shifting your internal dialogue to "How can I help?" will also access the spirit, that domain of your awareness where you experience your universality.
