The Spiritual Path and the Perception of Not Being Good Enough
The spiritual journey often reflects an underlying belief of inadequacy, where individuals feel they must prove their worthiness through practices like meditation. Many begin these paths under the assumption that they need to transform themselves due to a perceived deficiency or brokenness. This belief, rooted in shame, leads to a continuous cycle of self-management rather than genuine growth. In contrast to this viewpoint, personal evolution should be seen as a natural process without labeling oneself as 'not good enough.' Just as an oak tree is perfect in all stages of its development, individuals too are inherently whole, and the focus should be on recognizing and nurturing this innate potential rather than attempting to fix something broken. Such misconceptions about self-worth significantly hinder personal progress and understanding of one's true nature.
