Mahakatha's Meditation Mantras

In this life, there are things that we have worked

really hard for. Things that we have gained after

a lot of struggle, and so we deeply

value those things. But what about things that

come effortlessly? Do we really value them enough?

Namaste and welcome to yet another episode

of the Mahakatha meditation mantras podcast.

I'm your host, Preeti. And today, we're talking about

valuing things that come with struggle

versus valuing things that come effortlessly.

And, of course, I'm here to introduce a beautiful mantra.

But before that, here's a little experiment, a little

exercise I want you to do within your mind

right now. You ready? Imagine

you are holding this Beautiful

award in your hand. This

gorgeous sleek memento made

out of gold or crystal. You

are grasping it. You are Standing on a

stage with all the lights shining upon you

and the entire audience is full of

applause for you. And they're looking up to you,

waiting for you to make a victory

speech. Imagine you're getting

this award for finally accomplishing

your biggest dream, your biggest

goal, whatever that may be. Imagine

that that one goal

that you've worked so hard for until now,

that you've put hours and weeks, months years

of effort into. You

have finally achieved. And this

is your moment to share the story of your

success. So there you are, memento

in one hand and microphone in the other, and

you're about to make your speech. What would you

say? How would that speech go?

Of course, I want you to thank everybody

that you want to thank. I want you to

express your joy, your gratitude.

But when it comes to talking about your journey,

instead of saying how difficult it was to

get to this point, I want you to say

how easy it was to get to this point.

I want you to stand on that imaginary stage

and tell the world that this great

big success happened

effortlessly for you. I want you to tell

the world that you had been struggling a little

bit initially but then one day,

things just started to fall in line.

Opportunities started showing up for you and

it felt like the whole universe had turned

in your favor. I want you to tell the world that

you felt in Tune with your inner wisdom.

You felt deeply inspired.

You felt a strong sense of intuition

to make all the right choices. And

one after the other, every action that

you seem to take brought you success

after success after success. I want you

to stand on that imaginary stage

and tell the world The incredible

story of how effortlessly you

achieved success. I know this

is a little counterintuitive because we

mostly hear people talk about their struggles,

Talk about how much they had to go through to get to a

point where they are being recognized for something.

But through this small little exercise,

I want you to challenge that

unspoken inner belief that

only what you get through struggle and

effort is truly

worth feeling good about or

celebrating or appreciating.

Right from our childhood, we have been conditioned to

believe that value and worth

are directly proportional to the effort we put in

or the struggle we face. The

stories of the Self made man have

always been put on a higher pedestal than the story of

someone for whom life unfolded

easily. Joy came easily. Success

came easily. Somehow,

the value of things we must fight

for and struggle for is

considered so high that something that comes

easily to us, something that falls into our lap,

almost miraculously, has barely any

value. It is almost considered noble

to struggle that

our minds have subconsciously decided that

the opposite of that, the absence of struggle is

ordinary, is unremarkable, is

not worth celebrating. And as long

as we let this subconscious belief stay,

we will continue to turn a blind eye

to the beauty of effortless things,

to the blessing of effortless

things. We will always ignore

the calm and Serene path

of least resistance. And we will continue to

choose the path that involves Stress that

involves conflict, that involves unhappiness, that

involves struggle. And so in today's episode, By

giving that victory speech of how miraculously easy

things have been for you, I hope you can hear

the beauty of that story

and I hope that is the story that

you end up manifesting because I don't want you to

have to go through a long harrowing

journey. It doesn't have to be that way.

I want your Journey to feel rewarding and

peaceful and joyful in every single

step, and satisfying in every single step. And I want

it to feel pleasant and creative and

enriching. I want your journey to feel

long and happy and eager and

patient and trusting and intuitive

and inspired. I want your

journey, your success story to be nothing short

of miraculous. And speaking

of miracles and effortlessness, let me

bring to you today's mantra, The

Krishna Bija mantra. This is the

seed mantra attributed to lord

Krishna who according to Hindu mythology

is the bestower of success, the giver

of contentment, and a divine

source of pleasant,

effortless cosmic joy.

The beeja mantra or the seed mantra

of lord Krishna has traditionally been chanted

for invoking that sense of cosmic joy and satisfaction.

And the more we can all invoke such joy and

satisfaction in our daily lives, the more we

can celebrate ease over effort,

the happier we will be not just after

reaching our destination but all

along the way. Here are 2 of the

most beautiful things our listeners have

experienced after listening to the Krishna Bija

mantra. The first one says, "Today, I was

down and my spirit was broken, then

you came to me with this beautiful mantra. This

has calmed my mind and my spirit and filled

it with confidence to stand up and start my

journey. Thank you, Krishna." The

2nd comment says, "This is so relaxing

and calming. From my own experience, I

recommend that particular mantra for morning practice.

It sets up your day. It's

also good in the evening if you are unsure what is going on in

your life and you are in a condition of distress.

It will clear up your thoughts and calm down your

emotions spinning around your head. I

truly love this mantra and I found it beneficial

for all beings. I truly love this

mantra." Wonderful.

Thank you so much dear listeners For the beautiful comment

thread that you've left on this particular mantra on

YouTube. And If you, dear listener, would

like to try out this mantra, listening to it

either every morning or evening or whenever you feel

overwhelmed or exhausted or stuck where you are,

then I bring you this mantra today At an exclusive

discount, please use the code that you see in the

description of this episode and go ahead and avail

this chant. Meditate with it.

Chant it because it's a fairly easy mantra to chant

and visualize the best possible

version of your success story, not the hardest.

I really hope that this mantra becomes the

catalyst in switching your path from the

path of most effort but to the

path of most ease.

With that, we come to the close of today's

episode. Thank you so much dear listener for joining me

today. And I hope this new perspective on success

lingers in your mind long after this episode is

over for a really long time. I will be back again

next week With a brand new episode and mantra.

Until then, stay blessed.
