Mahakatha's Meditation Mantras

If you ask an adult, are you good enough?

Your question will push them into a deep corner of

thought and there'll probably be no immediate

answer. But ask the same question to

a kid, are you good enough? And the

answer will be, "Am I good enough at

what". now this may seem like an

innocent answer. It may even seem like the question

is being misunderstood but there is something

really profound to be discovered here.

Let's explore that in today's episode before I

introduce you to a beautiful mantra. Namaste

once again dear listener. I hope you're doing well. Welcome

back to the Mahakatha meditation mantras

podcast. I'm your host Preeti and today

we're talking about the question, are you good enough?

The adult understands the question differently

than the child, right? The adult hears, are

you good enough? And instantly thinks whether

he or she is good enough or deserving enough

for all the good things in life. Are they good enough to

have a happy relationship? Are they good enough to have

a successful career? Are they good enough to live a happy

and fulfilling life and the

answer varies. On some days it might

be, "Yes, of course, I'm good enough. I'm

deserving. I'm good enough. I'm worthy". But there will be

days when you might not be so quick to answer that question. There

will be days when you will feel the heaviness of doubt.

You will start doubting whether you will ever move

forward from the place that you feel stuck in right now.

You'll start doubting whether your

efforts will bear any fruit, whether you will move forward

and overcome the struggles that you've been going through

recently. There will be days where

you won't be able to answer the question are you good enough

but that's not the case for the child, is it?

When the child hears are you good

enough, the child immediately thinks of

skill, of ability. Am

I good enough at sport, Studies,

playing the piano, reciting poetry,

taking care of my younger sibling. What is it?

Am I good enough at What?

It's almost as if they don't hear

the enough part and I love

that because the enough part is very

vague anyway. It doesn't have any

Defined meaning anyway. So

the child associates being good enough

with skill or talent or ability

but the adult immediately questions

his own self worth.

Now I know there are a lot of things that we can

learn from children but I think this is one of the most

important things among them.

If every time we are met with obstacles or

difficulties or challenges on our path, if we

can stop making it about our self-worth

and instead associate it with our skill or

talent or ability then we can truly

Move past the obstacle and overcome

the challenge. Because if we can look at an

obstacle or a challenge and go What is

it that I need to learn? What ability?

What skill can I gain so that I can overcome

this challenge? We regain our

eagerness, our willingness, our strength, our courage

to move past anything that

lies ahead of us. If we ask ourselves what

can I do to improve this situation instead

of doubting whether we deserve success

in the 1st place? We can truly move

beyond the obstacle. And speaking

of skill and ability and courage, today I

want to bring to you a mantra that I would love for you to include

in your daily routine or your

daily preparation for the day ahead and

that mantra is the Hanuman Gayatri

mantra. Now, Gayatri mantras

are known to be powerhouses of

positive energy and they've been traditionally practiced to

remove any sense of inner conflict and

to establish a sense of harmony and peace

within oneself and the hanuman

gayatri mantra adds on to the blessing

of the gayatri mantra because the mantra focuses on

clarity, on confidence, on strengthening

your Willpower and removing any

ounce of self-doubt that might hold you back.

This is the mantra that will support

your internal question of what

skill can I acquire? What ability do

I need to build to overcome my current

challenges. That's what makes this a powerful

mantra to listen to especially if you're going

through challenging times in any aspect of your life

personal, professional, it doesn't matter. So

my dear listener, if you do not already have the

Hanuman Gayatri mantra, please go ahead and avail this

mantra right now using the code in the description and

the next time you find yourself battling thoughts

of not being worthy, not being good enough, not being

deserving, quietly take a breath

and listen to this mantra and allow

the answers and the willpower and

the courage to come to your mind.

I really hope you give this mantra a try and if you

do, please share your experience with us on the

YouTube thread of this mantra. I would love to hear how

this mantra has affected you. With that,

we come to the close of this episode. Thank you so much

for tuning in today and I hope this new perspective

on The question of being good enough has brought you

some clarity and some relief. I want you

to believe in yourself and in the fact that

wonderful things are about to happen for you.

On that note, dear listener, this

is me, Preeti, signing off promising to be back next

week with another episode and mantra. Until

then, stay

blessed.
