ONE'S POTENTIAL TO ACHIEVE & GROW
(main)
 

All Achievement, Growth is Inner
(topic)
 

Achievement is Inner

Achievements begin and end inwardly. The outer is only an expression. (MSS)

Key to Accomplishment
The key to accomplishment in life is the organization of our inner selves for success.

Life Rewards Who You are Inside
Life rewards not for your work, but for what you are inside. (MSS)

Achievement, Genius Comes from Within, Not Outside
All that a man achieves emanates from his mind, not from his external experience. The West has made the cardinal error of mistaking the effect for cause. Where does the Genius, be it Ramanujam or Einstein get his knowledge? It comes from INSIDE. (MSS)
 

You Achieve that Which You Believe You Can Achieve
(topic)

You Become What You Believe
You are only limited to that which you believe you can become. You become that which you believe you can become.

We Become What We Believe

"We become what we believe we can become." (Bhagavad-Gita). 

You Become What You Believe You Can Become

Could it be that how we view ourselves or the institutions we partake of is only a mental belief? That if we were to change the belief, the reality would also change? If this is true, and we think it is, then any individual can alter the course of his or her life, enabling vast, unimagined success and joy; and any institution can become a dynamic, energized, rapidly growing paragon of success.

So ask yourself this: If it is true that you become in life that which you believe you can become, then what limited beliefs about yourself or your company do you have? Think hard on this. It could determine the very course of your life.

Infinite Potential for Achievement, Growth
(topic)

We Can Achieve Our Belief in the Infinite Possibilities
If we know our infinite nature, we can believe in that, and thus achieve infinitely.

The Spiritual Basis of Our Infinite Potential
Because we are born of spirit, all planes of our being are infinite if we can learn to perceive that reality

Infinite Potential
We are infinite in nature, and we can manifest that in our lives as infinite accomplishment, success, and happiness.

Untitled

There is no limit to what we as a person or as a society can achieve. We are only limited by our own belief systems. "We become what we believe we can become." (Bhagavad-Gita). 

No Limits
Nothing is limited unless we put a limit on it. (MSS)

Infinite Results
We are infinite in nature, and we can manifest that in our lives as infinite accomplishment, success, and happiness.

Infinite Potentials

Individuals have infinite potential for accomplishment and joy. Also every moment in one's life there is infinite potential for accomplishment. Be on the lookout for infinite possibilities!

Untitled
It is one thing to perceive the infinite potential of life; it is another to utilize the rules of accomplishment to see it come about as infinite results in one's life. It is the difference between the right to something that can give you power, and using that right to actually attain that power. (Paraphrase of MSS)

Practical Concept of Infinity
This principle essentially means that you can accomplish and succeed in life to literally an infinite degree if you make contact with and then open yourself to the spiritual powers of the Divine Reality.

Going within in essence enables you to begin to really realize the principle of the “practical concept of infinity;” that all of the infinite potentials of life can be made real, can be embodied by you in your life as a practical reality. Infinite abundance and success and joy can really happen. By going to the depths, we begin to move from what we perceived as a finite life to the real experience of an infinite life, as infinite abundance, prosperity, achievement, success, and joy.

Levels at Which We Can Achieve, Grow
(topic)

Levels of Accomplishment
Individuals can accomplish at various levels - at the level of survival, growth, development, and evolution. 

Survival, Growth, Development and Evolution
Life exists in the grades of survival, growth, development and evolution. An agriculture society changing into an industrial society is evolution. A famine stricken population avoiding extinction by its brave struggle is survival. A middle class family that faces a slide down into a lower class fighting back successfully is also survival.

An empty house of a middle class family acquiring all consumer durables is growth. A self-employed person having moved into that position from salaried employment is development. (MSS)

Evolution that is Beyond Survival
Practical knowledge is the physical capacity to survive. In Evolution survival is taken for granted and built on. Relying on survival is dangerous. As you evolve, the base of survival needs to be reconstituted with new consciousness. (MSS)

Untitled
As soon as Man rises to the next level that level partially descends on the previous level.

Individual Trying to Avail of Opportunities of Society
The individual in his growth tries to avail of the opportunities created by society. The opportunities for individual accomplishment are determined by what the society permits. The maximum is determined by what society sanctions. The minimum is determined by individual capacity. Individuals who fall below the social minimum socially perish. In rare instances, individuals try to outreach the society and the society puts up resistance.

Individual capacity is determined by the skills, attitudes, beliefs, values, character and aspirations of each individual.

The availability of social opportunities and the ability of the individual to avail of them combine to determine the ultimate outcome. (MSS)

What Level Do We Want to Achieve, Grow At?

Increase Your Aspiration in Life
Energy is a product of one's will. The more will, the more energy. But what creates will in life? It is created by your aspirations in life. Whenever you aspire for something it creates the will that energizes. If you don't have energy, consider if you are lacking aspiration in life. Then consider how to attain aspiration. Think about what you would like to accomplish in life, what opportunities are out there, what you would like to achieve, what you would like to learn, and so forth. When you find what you want, you will feel aspiration rise, which will stir the will, and energize your being.

Rise to the Peak of Accomplishment at Your Current Level of Efficiency
A question arises when one is on the path to higher levels of accomplishment and success: How high should I am to improve myself? You should enter at the maximum level where you are positively organized, and do so with full intensity. By "positively organized" we mean where you have the full complement of skills, knowledge, energy, will, time, finance stability, systemization, personal organization, etc. etc. This is your level of efficiency. You should then start at the maximum possible area (given the above constraints) where you can more efficiently function; and then, on the way toward that achievement, aim at the peak of what can be accomplished in your undertaking. (Paraphrase of MSS)
 

Envision

Envision who you are at ten times your current functioning. Can you bring it into focus? Can you hold that image in your mind as a silent visual yantra of life?

Process or Accomplishment
Aspiration releases energy, Will directs energy to become force, Organisation changes force into usable power, and skills create results out of power. (MSS)

Untitled

At the beginning of each day we must ask ourselves if we are truly committed to taking a step forward today, or if we are resigned to accepting our current status, habits and preoccupations.

A High Ideal of Motivation
The one MOTIVATION of man is to be constantly better than before. Spiritually it is a great ideal. (MSS)
 

GENERAL DETERMINANTS OF ACHIEVEMENT & GROWTH
(main)

Keys to Accomplishment
The keys to great accomplishment in life are high energy, focused aspiration, intense will, psychological strength, personal organization, deep knowledge and skills, and determined, persevering physical effort.  The deeper keys are right attitudes (avoiding the negative ones) and high personal values. The spiritual keys are self-givingness, an inner poise of calm that breeds mindfulness, and opening to the spiritual Force. Taking to any of these in a higher order will also attract sudden good fortune.

Abilities to Accomplish
An individual's abilities to accomplish are determined by his capacities and character, which are made up of his skills, knowledge, attitudes, energies, attributes, endowments, and personal values. There are a number of factors within these categories that determine this capacities and character.

Priority of Individual Characteristics for Accomplishment
The requirements of accomplishment for an individual in order of importance are strength, organization and skills.

Accomplishment, Knowledge, and Determination
The extent of accomplishment depends on the level of knowledge one has and the seriousness of its determination. (MSS)

Keys to Infinite Success in Life
Often when people reach the pinnacles of success it is because of a special gift or talent -- such as the ability to lead and inspire, or the capacity to develop a breakthrough product, or because they are driven to succeed. Other times, people reach the top simply because they make a steady, plodding effort in the course of their careers.

In research on what enables achievement in life, I have identified three levels of determining factors. The first contains the foundation -- i.e. the essentials for success. The second contains the more subtle, psychological factors that bring it about. And the third are the inner spiritual-like determinants of achievement. Let’s examine each of these more closely.

The first level contains the foundation and essential determining factors for success in life. They include our ability to target specific goals we aim to accomplish; our intense desire and will that they come about; our level of personal organization; the talent and skill we bring to bear; and the psychological strength we demonstrate in the face of life’s challenges. Aspiration, focus, will, organization, skill, and strength are thus the basic building blocks of success. Together they release enormous physical, vital, and mental energy that tends to attract vast success for that individual. Let’s examine several theoretical examples.

Consider the case of Eliza Gonzales, who currently demonstrates these capacities in spades. She has a keen interest in becoming a project portfolio manager; has the intense drive to make it happen; is fully organized in all aspects of her life; has all the necessary skills to accomplish; and has an innate ability to persevere in the face of life’s challenges. As a result, she has reached the very top of her field.

On the other hand, her collogue David Montaigne has not risen very far. Though he has had the aspiration and drive, he never developed the skills required of his position. Likewise, Sandra Lee, a co-worker of his, had the skills, but lacked the will and drive for achievement. Sanjay Aziz, a fourth member of the group, had the will and determination, but lacked focus in his life, as he was unable to formulate what he really wanted out of his career. Thus, where Eliza succeeded beyond measure, David, Sandra, and Sanjay plateaued at only modest levels of success.

The second group of factors that engender success are even more subjective and psychological. They take shape as our attitudes and personal values. In fact, if we examine Eliza’s great success, we see that she excelled in both areas. E.g., colleagues often described how positive her attitudes were -- in particular, how she always looked on the bright side of things; how full of self-confidence she was; how she always took responsibility for problems rather than blaming others; and how she always happily accepted what life had put before her. In this way, her attitudes -- about herself, about others, and about life -- will exemplary.

That cannot be said of the others in the group, each of whom had one or more significant wanting attitudes. One colleague had problems getting along with several staffers; another was consistently unhappy with the work assigned to her; and a third had a cynical, constricted view of what he could accomplish. As a result, each were burdened by psychological constraints that prevented them from reaching their full potential.

In addition to her very positive attitudes, there was something else Eliza had in abundance -- highly developed personal values. Everyone noticed how tolerant she was; how she encouraged others’ to express their opinions and make contributions; how committed she was to bridging the gap between the company and the surrounding community; and how dedicated she was for social change and improvement. Eliza’s values and beliefs sharpened her aspirations in life, gave her focus and energy, and enriched every activity she engaged in. On the other hand, her colleagues had trouble formulating their guiding principles and values, which created an intensity and energy vacuum in their careers. This conspicuous absence of clearly defined and applied personal values kept these members of the group from ever moving beyond the mediocre.

Finally, the third group of factors that determine our success level consists of spiritual-like behaviors and values that tend to attract ultimate achievement. Among them are-

• Our capacity to consciously seek out and embrace all sides of an issue, rather than just the one we are attached to.

• Our ability to respond calmly and with equal poise to the difficulties and challenges that come our way.

• Our ability to see negatives as positives in disguise, and adjust our behavior accordingly.

• Our capacity to be selfless and self-giving towards others, instead of acting out of ego and selfishness.

• Our ability to express our gratitude to others and towards life for all they have given us.

• Our faith that all will turn out well; that in fact a Higher Power is working on our behalf.

• Our ability to open to the spiritual Force before engaging in any act, which has the effect of bringing life under our control.

• Our ability to think for ourselves, instead of being influenced by the herd.

• Our capacity for self-scrutiny; i.e. our aspiration for personal growth and improvement.

• Our desire to seek out life in full, and live a life of adventure and challenge.

All of the factors described above have one thing in common: they lead to ever-greater success in life. Taken together however, they generate an overwhelming power that brings about ultimate, infinite-like achievement. In fact, if we examine how such success comes to us, we will see that it arrives in two distinct fashions -- through the “to-be-expected way” and through the “life response way.” The former means that as we embrace these achievement factors, we move ahead in a logical and practical way. E.g., people will take notice of our new behaviors, skills, actions, etc., and we are rewarded through the to-be-expected channels and unfoldings of life.

The life response method on the other hand operates much differently. In this reality, when we embrace one or more of the success factors -- particularly ones we are deficient in -- life instantly responds in kind, I.e. the very moment we change our inner orientation, life suddenly moves on our behalf, bringing us overwhelming good fortune. For example, if I shift away from my hostile attitude towards a co-worker, my boss suddenly appears in my office with word that I have been promoted to a much higher paying and satisfying job. This indicates the subtle, miraculous-like relationship between our inner selves and the world around us. When we change the inner, the outer instantly responds in kind.

If we can attract such powerful results by making these changes, then it only makes sense to take up the challenge. Therefore, why not review the success factors listed above, and come up with several areas where you are deficient. Then make the concerted effort to implement that change in your life. If you do, life will immediately start working on your behalf. That’s precisely what happened to Eliza when she made the decision to both improve her level of cleanliness and orderliness, as well as reverse her negative attitude toward her boss. From that day on, her career began to really take off. You can do the same thing in your life, and you too will be taken to the stars!

Making an Impact on the World
Blink and Tipping Point author Malcolm Gladwell indicates in his new book Outliers that those who have reached the pinnacles of success have done so because they were born at a particular time when vast opportunities presented themselves. He point out how Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, who are of the same generation, rose to the heights as new, emerging technologies began to appear in the computer and electronics fields. They were thus a product of their times. Gladwell also points out that it is those who actually seized emerging opportunities were the ones who climbed the pinnacles of success. For after all, millions are part of any given generation, yet it is only those who catch the emerging wave who are able to ride it to the top. Gladwell also suggests that local influences also helped forge their place in the history of their times. E.g., Bill Gates had access to a computer system as a young teen, something others were not fortunate to have had. Thus, the confluence of generational and local opportunity, plus the ability to seize the moment propelled these individuals to greatness in their fields.

At the Human Science project, a collaborative undertaking of members of Mother's Service Society (Pondicherry, India), Growth Online, and others, we address a multitude of emerging issues in the world, including the Character of Life, the Evolution of Society, the Nature of Money, and others. One other division of the site focuses on an understanding of the factors that enable individuals to change the world. We call this area 'Change Makers', and there I have begun to document the factors that have enabled noted individuals throughout history -- such as Elizabeth I, Martin Luther, Winston Churchill, Michael Gorbachev, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs -- to rise to the pinnacles of success, vastly influencing society. There are the to-be-expected determinants of such great accomplishment, such as energy, intention, focus, drive, will, personal values, organization, determination, psychological strength, skills and knowledge, and right attitude. Also included are several factors addressed by Gladwell's Outliers, including generational possibilities, the current social support system for the individual, and most noteworthy, the ability to latch on to a great opportunity, enabling one to catch the emerging wave of society.

At the Change Makers section of Human Science, we also address other, less understood, more subtle forces that propel individuals to the top of their field and affecting society around them. These inner behaviors express through instances of "life response," i.e. sudden good fortune. For example, one individual in a given situation is able to control his emotions when his integrity is falsely attacked, which causes sudden positive developments to move in his direction. Another person reverses a cherished (false) belief, which again sets in motion positive events that conspire to take him to the top of his field. These subtle inner behavioral changes attract just those circumstances that give that person the opportunity and energy to rise to the society-influencing heights. Thus, it is not merely the obvious conditions that catapult one to the stars, but subtle changes of consciousness within.

How then can you practically benefit from these ideas? Are you interested in moving to the top of your field or having a major impact on the world around you. If so, then why not examine the variety of factors that enable it to happen. Look for several key determinants that you are deficient in, and then make a concerted effort to upgrade in those areas. As a result, life's circumstance will suddenly turn positive in ways you would never have imagined. Then you too can become a true Change Maker in your field and make a great impact on the world.

Give in Abundance to Receive
If you want encouragement in your life, give it to others.

If you want love, give it in every way to others.

If you want success, encourage it in others.

If you want to be happy, focus on the happiness of others.

If you want to receive, give to others in abundance.

General Determinants for Achievement/Accomplishment in Life
Among the overarching determinants and factors that affect our ability to achieve in life include-

• our state of consciousness

• our level of awareness and wherewithal

• our awareness & perceptions of what is possible

• our motives, beliefs, and values

• to what degree we think things are possible

• our aspirations, attitudes, decisions, and actions in life

• the choices we make

• our individual capacities (e.g. strength, skill, organization, aspiration, aspiration, will, etc.)

• the positive and negative aspects of our being

• the degree to which we are willing to change

• the degree to which we are in touch with our true essence

• the degree we perceive our purpose in life

• whether we are self-determining (inner-directed) or outer (social) directed

• our awareness of and ability to catch the emerging waves in society

• the opportunities available to us from the outside

• the environment into which we are born (e.g. the level of prosperity, education, drive of community)

• the degree to which the society supports the growth of the individual

• the current social forces positive and negative influence our efforts to achieve

• whether the positive forces override the negative (within ourselves, from the outside, etc.)

• our ability to hold down the negative forces, while reinforcing the positive ones in life

• whether there is enough strength in the acts engaged in to move it to accomplishment

• the quantity, quality, intensity of energy released in an act engaged in

• the degree to which the process of accomplishment is engaged (vision to manifestation)

• our understanding & utilization of our inner power to move the outer

• our ability to make use of the hidden patterns of life (such as predecessor events, repeating acts, etc.)

• our ability to create the greatest results with the least effort in the shortest period of time

• our use of the spiritual power/Force to enable this ultimate efficiency of life

• our ability to move from the finite, space, and time to infinite possibility that overcomes space and time

• our ability to make life suddenly respond ("life response")

• our use of spiritual powers (of silence, equanimity, self-givingness, consecrated action etc.)

• the degree to which we connect to, open to, surrender to the Divine Reality and Intent

• Our ability to bring the Being into the Becoming

To Accomplish a Work
The commonest question of serious people when they have to complete a work is, ‘‘What should I do?’’ It is a valid question. For the greatest effect, one needs to know his personality strength and weakness, the social situation he is in, the nature of the mission he is facing, and the attitude of the other person to the completion of the work. Knowledge is power. (MSS, slightly modified)

Achievement & Organization of Personality

• One achieves only to the extent one's personality is ORGANISED.
• What is it to organise one's personality?
• We have several faculties. They can be centralised when they are unrelated. Faculties functioning independently produce the minimum.
• One faculty uniting with another brings in extraordinary results.
• A faculty integrating with another faculty brings out the maximum result from both. Coordinating ALL one's faculties so that each faculty produces its maximum result is to organise one's personality.
• Put in ordinary words, a man who is intent on a result must direct all his energies harmoniously to achieve that result, called in the language single-minded devotion. (MSS)

Develop Our Capacities to Create Luck
When we develop our capacities and gain the external cooperation of life we create the conditions for luck; i.e. the propulsion to the next level of achievement, success, and fortune.

Keys to Job Satisfaction
Right attitude towards the job will bring job satisfaction for sure. What are those attitudes? Here are some that come to mind.

• positive self-esteem

• positive view of other workers

• accepting the work before us

• being optimistic in the face of challenge

• non-egotism

• selflessness and self-givingness

• truthfulness and sincerity

• facing problems square on

• having faith in the positive outcome of things

• see the positive in the negative

• valuing other's contributions

• valuing accomplishing over money

• doing each task with focus and interest

• trying to create the best results

• "there is always a solution"

• taking the other person's point of view

• less skepticism, more faith

• willing to learn in order to become knowledgeable and skilled

• belief in the inner power to create the greatest result with the least effort in the shortest period of time

Give in Abundance to Receive
If you want encouragement in your life, give it to others.

If you want love, give it in every way to others.

If you want success, encourage it in others.

If you want to be happy, focus on the happiness of others.

If you want to receive, give to others in abundance.

The Inner is Ultimate Determinant
The inner (one's inner condition) is the ultimate determinant of achievement, not the conditions the outer reality.

Consciousness & Achievement
The more we open to a wider consciousness, the more we can achieve.

Ultimate Achievement
Capacities, values, and consciousness, enable ultimate achievement.

The Determinants of Who We Are and What We Can Become
There are several factors that have shaped who we are, ranging from the outermost influence to the innermost.

Inner-Directed Achievement
Not being determined by the outer social forces and influences enable individuality and achievement. It is Inner-Directed Achievement.

Inside or Outside the Box and Accomplishment
Those who have social character can accomplish fully within the norms and constraints of society. Those who have individual character think beyond the norms of society and develop infinite potential for accomplishment.

The Social Environment and Accomplishment
An individual's ability to accomplish is affected by the social environment and atmosphere -- which includes the capacities, energies, character, and circumstance of the social environment and social institutions he is involved in. When that environment, atmosphere is positive one is more likely to accomplish; when negative, it is less likely.

Variables that Enable Accomplishment vs. Failure
Human action, individual character, social character and the character of life combining and interacting generate a set of results. When those results are what the characters themselves would view as positive, we can refer them as examples of accomplishment. When they are negative, we term them failures. (MSS, slightly modified)  

That Which Determines Accomplishment
An individual's abilities to accomplish are determined by his capacities and character, which are made up of his skills, knowledge, attitudes, energies, attributes, endowments, and personal values. There are a number of factors within these categories that determine this capacities and character. 

Choice Achieves
It is our choice that achieves.

Human Choice and Accomplishment
The ultimate determinant in human accomplishment is our own true desires and wants. It is our choices that ultimately determines the outcome and real accomplishment in life.

Making the Choice that Accomplishes
The determination of accomplishment is determined by choice; it is made possible by the conscious exercise of choice at every minute. The short term gain vs. long term benefit; the occasion to exert vs. the least line of resistance; the courage to embrace the new vs. the cozy comfort of tradition; the readiness to risk vs. the sense of security, etc. etc. (MSS, modified)

Unfailing Success
For any undertaking in life to succeed one must have total commitment, have complete positive attitudes about and during the endeavor, and make an unflagging and unwavering effort towards its execution.

Process of Growth that Formulates Achievement
Following the process of growth and accomplishment formulates achievement.

Follow the Process of Growth and Accomplishment
Normally, when we make progress, it is a result of our response to the pressures and challenges of life. This is for the most part an unconscious form of growth. Conscious growth, on the other hand, takes place when we self-conceive that which we want to become. We consciously grow when we aspire to accomplish something, organize the details of our vision, and then carry it out until our vision becomes a living reality. This is, in essence, the process of growth and accomplishment -- the most direct and powerful approach for bringing about long-lasting success and happiness in life. Action Plan: Consider taking up a new opportunity, or developing a new skill, or making a major change in your career, or adopting an important personal value in your life. Begin by envisioning what you want to accomplish, and from there establish the major goals to achieve that vision. Then organize the goals into practical strategies and plans of action. When you systematically carry them out -- supported by your highest high skills, your most positive attitudes, and by making the full, persevering effort -- the infinite potentials of life will suddenly open up before you!

On Accomplishment
Accomplishment issues from energy converted into power through direction and organisation. (MSS)

Process or Accomplishment
Aspiration releases energy, Will directs energy to become force, Organisation changes force into usable power, and skills create results out of power. (MSS)

Mind, Knowledge, and Will
Mind has knowledge and will. Will executes what knowledge knows.

Ultimate Achievement
The spirit offers ultimate achievement -- infinite in no time.

Achieving Anything, Solving Problems through Spirit that We are Within
The source of all creation is divinity (or the Spirit). So by releasing this powerful Spirit into action (or by invoking or by taking the help of this Spirit that resides within us) we can achieve anything in life, we can solve any problem. (MSS)

Powers of Human Mind and Spirit in Accomplishment
Individuals are now just beginning to tap into the mid and upper levels of the power of mind to accelerate accomplishment in life. A few are using the highest powers of mind to create even greater accomplishment. A very rare few are using the spiritual powers (a plane beyond mind) which enables one to tap into the infinite powers of accomplishment.

Utilize Inner Techniques to Accomplish
One can use spiritual techniques like calling and deference to a Higher Power to create great accomplishment in life.

Accomplishing Infinitely by Acting on the Universe Contained Inside Ourselves
For 10,000 years we lived our lives based on our perception of physical space and measured time, which the Internet now threatens to abridge to a considerable degree. And yet the deeper inner consciousness of an individual can contain the entire universe within himself at any moment, negating space and time altogether. E.g. he can take actions from those depths, using that Force, enabling life to instantly respond up to an infinite degree from anywhere on earth within seconds. Even the Internet is a scratch of the surface compared to the accomplishment and joy that can emanate from this timeless, spaceless, infinite existence that we can contain from within.

Optimal Accomplishment through Values and Spirit
Optimal accomplishment in life is achieved through intense aspiration married to focused key values in life, implemented through maximum effort. Together they create great efficiency to accomplish in life. (That is, the greatest result with the least effort). Utilizing, surrendering to the spiritual Force creates the greatest scope and possibility for accomplishment, and is also the most efficient. 

The Hidden Patterns of Life and Accomplishment
The final outcome to whether or not one accomplishes is also reflected in the operations and undercurrent of forces that are subconscious to most humans. These include "life responses" and other hidden patterns and processes that seem to circumvent time and space and all sense of normal logic. Like the attempt to understand the mechanics of quantum physics if understood these secret patterns of life could reveal the ultimate mystery to endless accomplishment in life.

Accomplishment and the Sanction of One's Emotions
An individual may think about ways to improve himself, though that is not enough to accomplish. He can even try to accomplish, but that might not bring in the desired results. When the mind decides to accomplish something it needs the sanction of the vital, the emotions. When there is a desire, an emotion to accomplish a thing it gains force and will of purpose. Thought to accomplish without the emotional desire and need will leave things as they are. For example, an individual might want to get more money in his life. However at an emotional level he feels secure in his current state. perhaps he seeks freedom, more than material gain in the form of money. Money will not come to such an individual even if he thinks he needs more money. A deep-felt want, hunger, ambition for money will unleash from life positive responses that will bring him toward his goal. If he takes a physical action, i.e. he acts on this emotion, he completes the process that will attract money to him in his life.

Accomplishment, Involution, and Evolution
Individuals accomplish by growing beyond their limited capacities. In other words, from out of the limitations, the "Involution," humans make an Evolution. Greater accomplishment comes from out of this process. In fact, this is a process that the whole universe is going through. The ultimate purpose of this process is the unfolding of the higher qualities and capacities in the individual, which reflect the original purpose and determinants of the source of the creation, the Absolute, the Divine.
