When a person becomes very successful, Asha says, it’s because they have worked very hard at in the past. But does that success always bring them happiness? This class covers karma, reincarnation, feeling versus emotion, how to find out what we should do, and the importance of energy and enthusiasm in the spiritual life.
Asha gives practical advice to help us identify what blocks our ability to manifest. Taking up a modest goal first, will help us succeed and grow our will and confidence. Faith is knowing that the energy and will are already there if we are standing in right relationship to what we want.
Learning to be receptive without involving our ego requires practice. Developing our intuition through this practice helps us recognize true guidance.

Asha starts the class with personal stories that illustrate the importance of focused visualization in the process of manifesting. Inspiration, intuition, and energy are not in themselves sufficient, she says — one has to invest themselves in obtaining the required knowledge as well.
What does it take to succeed on the spiritual path? Through right attitude, and consciously directing one’s energy to create magnetism, constant endeavor leads to success.
Developing right attitude and the right Relationship with the Divine is essential to meeting life’s challenges. Learn the art of consciously cultivating a sensitivity of heart and creating a strong aura of energy, bu tuning into a higher source.
There is a saying in India, “Yata Dharama Tata Jaya” — “Where there is adherence to right action, there is victory.” Living righteously is essential to building faith in God. Asha also shares the art and science of cultivating your personal awareness and relationship with the Divine.
How to transcend our ego’s identity to the problems in life and the transitory nature of existence? By tuning into our unchanging nature within, we will overcome confusion about our own moral compass.
A key element in manifesting success, Asha says, is to anchor yourself in your unchanging Self within. One must develop a deep understanding that the source of all power is in their changeless, eternal Self.
Balancing work and meditation becomes easy when we truly understand our life experience from the inside out. Asha shares real examples of how our inner and outer realities work together, and how soul progresses through continuous expansion of awareness.
By becoming still, we invite our superconsciousness to guide our lives — it is that dynamic life force within us that changes us, creates success on every level, and offers the secret to balancing work and spiritual life. (Based on Lesson 7.)
Nayaswami Asha discusses the concept of time and its illusory nature. Whatever the endeavor, energy and inspiration are essential to create excellence — the quantity of time is not. (Based on Lesson 8.)

The spiritual path is about tapping into one’s inner consciousness and the changeless reality of God, the infinite light. By offering all that one does to that Light, one sees how everyday activity is an expression of a greater reality.

Leaders can use their magnetism to expand consciousness of this planet. In order to be effective in helping others, leaders must be not only righteous but also realistic in their approach. (Based on Lesson 10.)
