4: Law of Least Effort – A Meditation from “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success”
Law 4 of the Seven Spiritual Laws Meditation Series: The Law of Least Effort
Today we are continuing to meditate with Deepak Chopra’s book, “The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success,” as our guide. And in this episode, we’re picking up with Law 4: the law of least effort. If this is your first time joining us, please either start here or jump back to the beginning of the series. Either way, you are in good company. Likewise, whether it’s the law of least effort in relationships or the law of least effort in all things, the foundation of this law is nature. For example, a few natural metaphors to express this law might be: grass doesn’t try to grow, it just grows. The sun doesn’t try to shine, it just shines. Fish don’t try to swim, they just swim. In total, the law of least effort is all about being in harmony with all nature, including your nature.
Three distinct components of the law of least effort
According to Deepak, there are three distinct components of this law: acceptance, responsibility, and defenselessness. For example, when we meditate, we accept what happens, we take responsibility by showing up, and we are defenselessness by just being there. By contrast, in our western culture, we’re often all about the do, do, do. This law, however, is all about the be, be, be. As we prepare to meditate, I invite you to check in and ask: how can you take responsibility in the now?
