The self-realization spiritual teachings of Indian guru Paramahansa Yogananda live on through success principles derived from meditation. Be aware that you create your own opportunities. Seek God first. Do some things you thought you could not do, starting with something simple. Connect with the power of divine consciousness. And be aware that you can call your work a success only when "in some way it serves your fellowman."

Towards the closing chapters, YP sums up this little gem of a book with this -
"I have mentioned several important attributes of success - Positive thoughts, Dynamic Will, Self Analysis, Initiative, and self-control. Many popular books stress one or more of these, but fail to give credit to the Divine Power behind them. Attunement with the divine will is the most important factor in attracting success."
Exactly!!
And how do you align your will with the divine will?
Meditation. It's a tool, of course.
But YP doesn't go around to Meditation, its importance and the technique up until the last chapter of this bundle of his wisdom.
He starts off with talking about Life from a yogi perspective. Life is not some problem to be solved or a meaningless tad work consists of endless cycles, Life is nothing but a MYSTERY, a mystery to be lived, moment by moment, and one moment at a time. It's a labrynth of endless possibilities powered by our decisions and energy. And Opportunities in life come by creation not by chance emphasizes YP.
The book is basically divided into small chapters. The following is an attempt to consolidate key notes from each chapter.
Power of Thought
A thought in our mind has the power to manifest and grow to its fullest in reality. This thought can be manifested in the real world with the help of life energy if not, it remains just a wish without energy put to it.
It's when Will power comes into picture.
Will is of two types. Mechanical Will and Conscious Will, of which the latter one is important as one is expected to use will power and continuous activity in order to be successful. In other words, to be able to do a thing single-handedly, to master one thing at time, without distractions or not leaving it in the middle for the new venture.
Human will and Divine Will: A connection.
Will means: "I act until I get my wish." And a wish is desire without energy.
The Human Brain is a storehouse of life energy, that is our source from which we draw, and It is abundant. YP asks to start with small accomplishments then move on to greater tasks. He discusses the importance of failure and its role in being successful. (We can draw lessons from it so that we don't repeat the same mistakes again.)
What is Success anyway? You ask.
In this small chapter YP clarifies, the definition of success changes from person to person with happiness being its measure. Meaning, What you wanted to do, and did you succeed in doing it or not defines your success and failure.
And during those closing chapters he mentions about role/Power of Meditation in all of this and how divine will works, which I believe the "beauty of the whole book."
YP is simple, YP is to the point; a no nonsense Yogi who offers rich insights about most common questions we have as seekers, I am looking forward to dig more of his insights/understanding about some of my favourite questions like Fear, Love, Creativity etc.,
Recommended only if you understand what is Meditation and if you had reaped any of its fruits in the past.
I think 99 times and I find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me.

The law of success by paramahamsa Yogananda is the shortest book I've ever read. Only 36 pages book. But it is power packed. It contains a lot of good points and knowledge. A very good book I say. A must read one for those who wants to become successful in life.

Never saw so much meaningful content in so few pages.

This book is by Paramahansa Yogananda who is the author of "Autobiography of Yogi". Very simple and short book, that explains about Self-analysis, diagnosing failures, habits controlling life, the importance of meditation and happiness.
"When wealth is lost, you have lost a little; when health is lost, you have lost something of more consequence; but when peace of mind is lost, you have lost the highest treasure"
"It is better to die struggling than to abandon your efforts while there is still a possibility of accomplishing something more; for even when death comes, your struggles must soon be renewed in another life"
- Paramahansa Yogananda -
Alright, I'm not an evangelist, but I carry this one around with me. And I admit, I have a few on hand for those times that friends feel lost.

The great mystic never fails to amuse me. Every piece of his works takes me a little closer to myself and the divine. This small book did the small. An amazingly powerful and surprisingly short read. the sage delivers a great number of secrets in just twenty-seven pages. and the affirmations are so so powerful you can feel the power of reciting them. Highly recommended for everyone.
