PRINCIPLES FOR LIFE, SPIRITUAL PROGRESSION
– From the Satyana Institute

PART 1

These are based on principles which operate throughout the universe.

  1. Transformation of motivation from anger/fear/despair to compassion/love/purpose. This is a vital challenge for today’s social change. “A positive future cannot emerge from the mind of anger and despair” (Dalai Lama).
  2. Non-attachment to outcome. As Gandhi said, “The victory is in the doing,” not the results. Remain flexible in the face of changing circumstances.
  3. Integrity is your protection. If your work has integrity, this will tend to protect you from negative energy and circumstances.
  4. Integrity in means and ends. This means, cultivate integrity in the fruit of one’s work.
  5. Don’t demonize your adversaries. It makes them more defensive to your views.
  6. You are unique. Find and fulfill your true calling. “It is better to tread your own path, however humbly, than that of another.” (Bhagavad Gita)
