From Upanishad Jun 3, 02008
#2. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny. (Upanishad, via Deepak Chopra’s Seven Spiritual Laws of Success).
In fact, it’s an entire program of personal development with four successive levels, starting from discerning desires and then proceeding to will (I think it’s about habits / perception patterns / attention management) to deeds (action management) to destiny. Very close to Ignatius Loyola’s idea of discernment of spirits as the first step of spiritual development.
Back to Chopra’s book — a wise and refreshing one. Deep books often have misleading names, looks rather like publisher’s advice. It’s also interesting how easily Chopra integrates some Christian concepts, like the expression “state of grace” he uses there. Looking forward to reading The Third Jesus.
