Once I realized these fundamentals, the theory of life got totally unfolded in front of me. I was immediately full of eternal peace. How to lead an abundant and successful life became crystal clear to me. I got all answers to my spiritual seeking. If we get aligned to these fundamentals, we get immersed into deep peace immediately. Success becomes unstoppable, getting rich becomes evident. Ignoring these principles, nobody can achieve long term peace, success or get rich. These fundamentals are quite easy to follow for anyone. You don't need to be extraordinarily to be successful. This book is written in a very concise manner, each sentence and word having deep meaning. I request you to read this book with due attention in a slow pace so that we both are connected. Very truly yours, Sanjay Copyright © 2009 Sanjaya Kumar PatelTrue Fundamentals of Life 5 Introduction The purpose of Nature is to evolve, or grow. Trees grow. Animals, birds and human beings grow. The world grows through us. It wants us to grow abundantly. Still, most of us lead a struggling life. Growing, succeeding and getting rich seem things we have to fight hard to achieve. Why does this happen? It’s because we have not understood and are not aligned to the true fundamentals of Nature. We don't understand the purpose of life. Our perception of the world is far from reality. People who understand the purpose of life and perceive the world rightly always live in peace and abundance. Abundance not only in terms of money, but in every aspect, such as health, wealth, time, love and all that one can imagine. These people are also called the enlightened people, who are always at bliss, and are highly effective in all that they do. This world, if perceived rightly, is the heaven. Otherwise, it may look like hell. Unless you are enlightened, you may get skeptic here. Read on. This book presents some true fundamentals of life, which would break your illusory perception. Your mind will start seeing the reality. You are at your gateway to abundant peace, growth and enlightenment. Copyright © 2009 Sanjaya Kumar PatelTrue Fundamentals of Life 6 Purpose of our life To live with satisfaction, it is quite important for us to understand the purpose of our life and why we are here. To normal eyes, it seems that Nature is just there without any purpose, but if you observe carefully, there is a definite purpose of the nature – to evolve or grow. Trees grow. Animals, birds and human beings grow. Life evolves in the world, in term of both volume and intelligence. One living being gives birth to many. When organisms attain more intelligence than can be expressed by their design, new species are originated. You have not come here to do this and that. You are created for being used as a tool of the nature to make yourself and the world evolve. God wants to grow by utilizing you. It is you who need to say yes. Nature wants you to make the most of yourself, for the growth of yourself and for others. That is your purpose. Many people believe that acquiring eternal peace is the purpose of life. If eternal peace were the purpose of Nature, there was no need for it to grow up to this human era. Peace loving animals were enough. Growth is the primary purpose. All others are derivatives or requirements. Whether to grow is not your choice. You are designed to grow. Your body is the proof – which grows irrespective of your conscious wish. Sometimes we would use the more specific term “World” instead of “Nature.” Human beings have a special capability compared to animals – apart from just being a part of the world, and getting utilized by the world, they can make conscious steps to make themselves and the world grow. So, your purpose is to make yourself and the world grow by taking conscious steps to the best of your potential. Copyright © 2009 Sanjaya Kumar PatelTrue Fundamentals of Life 7 Integral growth Integral growth means the net growth of the world. Integral growth is the purpose of the world, and getting utilized for this divine purpose is our individual purpose. Integral growth happens through creation. Creation can be either creation of a new species, a great scientific invention, or just a tiny value creation. A simple example of creation is a shopkeeper in a village procuring goods from a nearby town and selling with an amicable profit. It adds value to all – to the shopkeeper as well as the villagers. The net value of the world is increased. Creative transactions, as the example cited above, increase the value of the world – thus contributing to growth. Destructive transactions diminish the value of the world – they waste effort and resources. Using your marketing skills to sell goods which actually does not add value to your customers are examples of destructive transactions. Never think in terms of discreet growth – growth of only yourself, or your family, or your organization. Think only in terms of integral growth – growth in totality. Do not become selfish, even while seeking God. Selfish people can never get abundance. There are many examples where people think selfish. Paying a competent employee less than his worth, just because he is simple enough and does not know his own value, is selfish. Paying less than the worth of an item, just because the vendor does not know the cost and agrees to your cost, is selfish. This attitude fires back. Negotiation is exchange of information to come to a consensus about the value of a product or service. It is not trying to convince others, trying to make others agree. Never think making somebody agree to your point as a piece of success. Now, let us talk about competition. Pure competition adds no value to the world. Integral growth comes from creation, and not from competition. Competition misutilizes our abilities. Opportunities of creation, when executed, give birth to more opportunities. Quite opposite to the common belief that the world has limited resources and opportunities for which people are competing, the world is infinitely evolving. Take an example. Raw iron metal is of little value. But somebody took the opportunity of making bi-cycles out of it. People took the opportunities to use bi-cycles to go to their workplaces. Work moved faster, giving birth to further opportunities.

Some people believe that the amount of wealth in the world is limited. In contrast, what we pondered above clearly implies that the wealth in the world is exponentially growing.
