THE FIFTH STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Success in Life and Yoga & Nature Cure Practice

1)      Have implicit faith that you will succeed.

    1. i.Strong desire and implicit faith are keys to success. Faith is a bent of mind which can be cultivated as well as destroyed. Logic is needed in initial stages to verify the things. Once verification has been done and validity confirmed about a thing or concept or spiritual thought, logic should be discarded and every thing possible should be done to go on multiplying the faith. In this second stage every thing that shakes and reduces the faith should be discarded. One should read such literature, meet such people and do such acts which increase the faith.
    2. ii.Success in Yoga & Nature Cure also demands faith in healing power of nature and its other principles.
  1. Strong faith is needed both in physicians & lifestyle intervention (L.I) practitioners as well as in patients. Physicians /Lifestyle interventionists develop faith by having understanding of the principles of Cure and patients develop faith by interaction with physicians/ Lifestyle Intervention Practitioners. Therefore all the physicians/ L.I practitioners and students aspiring to be physicians/L.I practitioners should develop a strong magnetic personality capable of inducing faith in others and this is possible in every case through systematic cultivation.
  1. This rule applies in other spheres of life also.
  1. There is nothing which cannot be achieved if there is a strong desire associated with faith of success. Remember strong desire and right desires are different. So have right desire.
  1. Several miracles happen in hospitals. Several incurable patients get cured and curable patients die. Such cases are usually display of faith.

2)      Have a Desire for Success

  1. You can achieve what you desire in life. Therefore set a goal and desire it to achieve. There is nothing impossible. But have a right desire. Carefully examine your desires and then set goal in life to achieve.
  2. Too many desires weaken the force behind them. You have a reservoir of energy. Don’t dissipate it into several desires. Let the energy be utilized pin pointedly.
  3. You achieve what you desire. If you fail to achieve something, the reason could be that you had a weak desire.
  4. Write down your specific desire and time frame within which to achieve. Remember if you want to get something you will have to pay for it. If you want money, you will have to deliver some services or merchandise in return. If you are not doing so, it amounts to theft. Any unjustified gain is unethical, immoral, usually momentary and productive of ill effects. Therefore when you desire, also visualize the commodity or service you intend to pay in return. These should be written down clearly, specifically, briefly and impressively. Display it prominently in your bed room. Read it loudly (so as to hear it) 3-4 times with complete faith to achieve, on getting up and before going to bed. By doing so for a few days, it will reach your sub-conscious mind and then miracles will start happening towards achieving your desire.
  5. When your desire reaches the sub-conscious mind, it will process and present such opportunities which will lead you towards achieving goal but you are to be careful to understand and catch hold of the opportunity.
  6. This rule applies to patients also. They can recover even from fatal ailments if they desire strongly to become alright. In such severe cases physicians can make good use of this practice suitably adjusting to individual needs and restoring and creating faith in them. Remember, at times, autosuggestion, faith and desire act stronger then medicines and treatments. However, physicians are to be very tactful in giving such suggestions so that no element of negative thought enters the patient’s sub-conscious mind.
  7. Make the patient fix a date by which he is to recover. Prescribe treatment modalities and let him write down clearly that by following such and such treatments he will certainly get cured by such and such date gradually improving day by day. He will have to repeat it on getting up and before going to bed so that it may reach his sub-conscious mind and he starts visualizing himself as he wants to become. Once the message reaches sub-conscious it starts materializing.
  8. To have desire and no faith is absurd.

3)      Behave Like a Successful Person

  1. You become as you behave. If you want to become a, successful person behave like a successful person.
  2. Behaving like a successful person helps in strengthening your faith and stabilizing your desire. After having fixed your desire, you should start visualizing yourself as you would become after achieving your goal and start behaving like that. Behave like a successful person and you will be successful.
  3. Your behavior should be decent and not egotistic. Your success should be for common good and not to hurt others. Your look should be graceful and pleasing. Even offensive and mismatched personalities change into graceful and pleasing one by behavioral changes and systematic cultivation.
  4. Don’t cultivate jealousy, hatred and ill feelings toward others. Such negative feelings are always reflected in personality in one or the other way.
  5. Good emotions should combine with your desire and behavior. Love, kindness, friendship and good intensions etc. have a definite behavioral pattern which is reflected automatically. Therefore observe the emotions as they emerge and discard and throw away the negative ones.
  6. The patients, who have been advised to follow these techniques, should be advised to start feelings and behaving as if they are getting recovered.
  7. If you cultivate negative thoughts you can not behave properly. So discard all sorts of negative thoughts.

4)      Don’t Be Unset With Set Backs.

  1. Every hurdle can be over-come.  Hurdles and set backs are necessary to excite your hidden potential to come in full play. Don’t despair over them. Welcome them if they come but don’t create them.
  2. Every failure brings with it a greater chance for success. The bigger the failure the greater will be the success. Don’t be disheartened with them. Every failure brings with it a greater amount of energy to fight it back but only to those who are determined to achieve. To those with weak desires these initial failures and set-backs become excuses to drop the goal. Be strong. Have faith to achieve desire.
  3. In treatments also the above rule holds good.

5)      Start From Where You are.

  1. You need not wait for certain special occasion or circumstance to shape your desire and set a goal. You can do so from where you are. You need not wait.
  2. Remember there is no limit to anything. You can set any goal but you must have faith to achieve it.
  3. Don’t cultivate the habit of procrastination.
  4. Be persistent till you achieve.
  5. Never allow inferiority complex to set in.
  6. Don’t compromise with disease, ill feelings, negative thoughts, timidity and depression. Fight them back at once and overcome them. Don’t wait. You can do it.

6)      Plan Properly

  1. Proper planning for materializing your desires is essential. Unplanned labor hardly brings the desired result.
  2. Take time to collect necessary material to give a final shape to your plan. If need be consult those who can advice you. But final decision in regard to your plan is to be taken by yourself.
  3. Once a decision is taken, stick to it. Don’t change your plan hastily. If any change is required take time.
  4. Form habit to take decision. Some matters require prompt decision. Do it. Some matters require thorough consideration. Consider it.
