Spiritual power

The following video clip of Deepak Chopra, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yIxPN7VOkI, talks about the self-realized soul which transcends the ego, and has thus overcome the need for approval from others.

You might not understand everything that Chopra is saying, and this is normal especially if you've never read his 40+ books. But I thought I'd share the clip because if you can understand one or two insights he offers, your life will be that much clearer.

The success secret here is that once you become truly spiritual, you become powerful indeed. The ancient Japanese proverb says: "Fight with your spirit, and the sword will follow."

Einstein put it differently, but hints at the same operating principle: "A problem cannot be solved at the level at which it occurs."

Finally, Brian Tracy, one of my favorite authors, says that Success = (Attributes + Aptitudes) X Attitude

As you can see, a change in your attitude (or spiritual level) will have a much greater effect on how much success you obtain than an increase in your aptitude. (An attribute cannot be changed since that is what you're born with, such as your height, appearance, etc.).
