Law of Attraction and Abundance

Q: It is so very difficult to focus on what i want...

A: Meaning, you actually do not want what you are trying to focus on. I am reminded of Svami Vivekananda. He "thought" that he wanted money. And, he was actually broke. He did not have enough to continue with his studies.

His master, Ramakrishna Paramhansa, asked him to focus on money, meditate, and "ask" Mother Kali, the Divine Feminine Principle for the fulfillment of his wish.

He could focus on money, and he did meditate too, but when it came to asking, he simply could  not do it. Instead, he asked for Bhakti, loving devotion. He asked for Shakti, divine poser, and he asked for Mukti, the absolute freedom.

Not once, not twice, but thrice he made the same "mistake".
He would be all prepared to ask for money, but when it came to actually asking, he would ask for bhakti, shakti, and mukti.

His inner being, the inner consciousness was not into money.
Perhaps, you are facing a similar situation. What you

Q: I keep hearing that money is important, and i agree it is important. I want money, who does not want? But, i cannot focus n money.

A: You are influenced by people. You have been bombarded by society and workplace that money is all that is to abundance. It is not. And, this is what your inner self is trying to tell you. Abundance is much more than having money. Abundance is true wealth, it is something that never ever decreased. It grows and grows.

Abundance is the feeling of joy that comes from inner satisfaction. Abundance is beauty, abundance is love. Abundance is only felt when you access your true self, your inner being - and, such access can only be gained through meditation. Abundance is the way to living meditatively.

To live abundantly is to live meditatively, and to live meditatively is to live fully, to allow all faculties within you develop to their fullest.

Karma and the Law of Attraction, by Paul Warren


The law of attraction has been around for centuries, however, only recently has it come into the eye of the world through the book and DVD 'The Secret'. Once known only to successful business men and women of our time, and times before us, the law of attraction has become a wide-spread phenomenon, allowing just about anyone to benefit from the vast powers of the universe. 



The secret law of attraction works by you believing in something so strongly that it manifests itself into reality. If this sounds like something from the X-Files, just hear me out.


The teachings of the law tell us that no matter what, the universe is with us and for us, waiting to be used to our advantage. To truly harness the power using the law, we cannot focus on what we don't have or what we need, instead, we need to believe that we will have more in the future. We will have more happiness, more money, more love, and more children. What ever your true desire is in life, you must focus on believing it will come true.



If you focus hard enough, and truly believe according to the law, you will see a change, and you will experience the true joy of the law of attraction working in your life.


Karma fits into this equation because we reap what we sow. What we send out to the world, thoughts of happiness, or thoughts of hatred can come back to us. Karma is basically a manifestation of our anger, greed, unhappiness, or misery. If we create these things, they come back to us.


The law of attraction owes a lot to the Hindu concept of karma and dharma. Karma implies a cause and effect. Each of us is different and hence, contributes differently to our lives. But we ourselves reap the results of our conducts. Good conduct breeds good results. Dharma is relevant to the law of attraction as dharma means purpose in life. Each of us has a purpose in life. The law of attraction speaks to identifying the aim of ones life through self-discovery. Hinduism supposes this end to be universal welfare, an extension of the law of attraction.


Ancient Hindu doctrines preached the idea that a persons place in the world is dependent upon his thought and practices. Ancient Hindu philosophies suppose that a person’s course of life is determined by his conducts in the previous birth. This implies that if someone had contributed significantly to universal goodness in his past life, they are likely to follow the same path in his next life.


Positive thinking, which is an oft-quoted phrase in the law of attraction, also finds its place in Hinduism. One, who is optimist in his attitude towards life, strives for a positive end, whereby he will find happiness. This happiness, according to Hinduism, does not mean wealth or power, but a sense of satisfaction and a feeling of completeness.


Both Hinduism and the law of attraction posit the concept of spiritual unity. Spiritual unity points to mental integrity. The mind should be absolutely clear of its mission and this should correspond in the actions. The mind, according to both Hinduism and the law of attraction, should be able to withstand all external disturbances and remain focused on what it wants to achieve. The means or the ways to attain the end may change in the course of action, but not the end.


Hinduism defines the end as something abstract. It is the success of ones will, fortitude, and perseverance. It does not refer to monetary success, or a gain of power. The success is a state of mind, a sense of fulfillment, a sense of satisfaction. This is what is referred to as abundance, by the law of attraction.

My Notes:

Material wealth alone cannot be defined as abundance. Without inner satisfaction, no matter how rich a man, he remains a pauper.
