The very vital and currently relevant. Can spiritual knowledge be strengthening and supportive in pursuing material success?

In this small but remarkable book Shri V. Dwaraknath Reddy, a phenomenally successful industrialist and advanced 'sadhak", answers in the affirmative and outlines a practical spiritual way to material pursuit. He brings a novel approach to a very important area of senior management thinking by showing how to derive strength, peace and happiness in active business life by making the understanding of the laws of life the basic substratum for planning, execution and achievement.

The scriptures, Shri Reddy says, deal with the science of existence. It is the theory of Energy of Life. But for actual benefit we have to apply that knowledge to our personal needs by exploiting that energy.

lucidity numerous concepts basic to success in the material realm Starting with the concept of 'I' that cherishes, desires, and faces problems in their fulfilment, he clarifies that you are, at any given time, the resultant point in a lifelong stream of thoughts, feelings and responses, and are governed in your further actions by that linear stream. The entire universe around you is similarly shaped by the total effect of inter-related working of the life streams of all the individuals comprised in it. This very perception takes off the strain imposed by the mistaken notion of false power centres and unrealistic possibilities. The relaxation of understanding enables easy and smooth flow of harmonious and joyful action generating maximum efficiency. In the process, false ego and sense of doership are eliminated as you realize that your knowledge and action are limited and are but a fragment of the totality of energy and consciousness. It is the totality that is the causal seed and source and every effect is a ripple on the total expanse. The insight for progress is derived from the revitalizing smile of acceptance symbolizing harmony of the individual with the totality.

Then you think or talk of advancing towards new heights of achievement and success that you have not scaled as yet, your plan of action cannot be that somehow you will conspire to make luck strike you and lightning strike your adversaries. Though commendably simple and straightforward, both those objectives seem to be beyond your powers of management or manipulation.

The success you aspire to must be won by invoking the inner potential in yourself. You must become the best you can be. You cannot be more than your full potential, but why should you be less? Your ambition and urge confirm the faith you have in yourself. You are not denying that untapped potential could be abiding in you, but the proof has to lie in its manifesting itself in performance. The inherent capability must be brought out and materialized. That is what is meant by invocation. And that has to be done by you, by working upon yourself diligently. No outsider can be accommodated in this implementation, which is a transaction between you as you are today, and you as you can be in future.
