Everybody says, don't look at
your phone so much. I agree.
Don't look at your phone.
Look at what's underneath your
phone. Hello, and welcome to a
brand new episode of the mantra
meditation podcast, by Mahagata.
I'm your host, Preeti, and I'm
really happy that you've decided
to tune in to this very special
episode.
Are you trying to figure out
what I meant to say when I said,
don't look at your phone. Look
underneath your phone. Well, let
me say this. Most of us have got
this habit, haven't we, of
checking out our phones,
Whenever we catch ourselves
either in an awkward situation
or whenever we have a minute to
ourselves or Even as soon as we
wake up right until the moment
we fall asleep. Right? We have a
habit of checking our phones.
Now I'm specifically talking
about the moment when we wake up
and the first thing we pull out
from under the pillow or on the
side table is our phones. Now if
that's you, there's nothing to
be ashamed of, and that's
because Looking at a phone
probably reminds you of your
world. It reminds you of the
people who are important to you.
It reminds you of the things
that are lined up for you. It
informs you of things that are
happening around you. Right?
it's your connection to the
world. And you've just woken up
from some dream you've been
having and looking at your
phone, could be your way of
grounding yourself in reality.
Now I know doing it is not ideal
And why you are prone to the
distractions that come with the
phone?
Don't hate yourself for it.
Understand that the act of
looking at your phone,
especially the moment you wake
up, is fulfilling the need for
groundedness.
And once you understand this,
once you understand that at the
core of your need to Constantly
check your phone is a call for
groundedness. Then we can shift
our focus and look at another
way of experiencing groundedness
and experiencing focus without
all the distractions that exist.
on our phone. And that brings me
to the statement I made right at
the beginning of this episode
when I said, don't look at your
phone. Look at what's underneath
your phone. What is underneath
your phone? What is your phone
resting on when you're scrolling
up and down? That's it. It's
resting on your palm. Am I
right? So I indicated Try not
looking at your phone. Try
looking at your palms. And
there's a very specific reason
why I said, look at your palms.
If you do it right now, if you
bring both your palms in front
of your chest, Open them up,
palms facing upwards and hold
them together, little finger to
little finger.
And if you just study your palms
all the way up to your
fingertips, finger by finger.
Something happens. Everything
else fades into the background.
As you focus deeper into the
lines and creases of your hands,
you're able to see minute
details. You're able to focus on
the smallest
visible element of you. of your
body, of your being.
And looking at your hands, will
never be the same experience
twice. You will always find new
lines that you see. new creases
that are formed, new details
that you will spot, those tiny,
fine little details, only you
can spot. in your palms.
Focusing on something as
intricate as detailed as The
blueprint of your hands of your
palms can be incredibly calming
and also meditative. And this
practice of looking at your
palms, the moment you wake up,
is not something that's come up
now, something that's been
recommended or experimented on
right now. It is something that,
in fact, was a part of a culture
centuries
ago. It was a part of the
ancient Hindu culture, in which
the was a daily practice. Now
the meaning Kara, meaning hand,
and Darshanam meaning viewing.
Right? So the was a meditative
practice. in those ancient
times, and they used it for
experiencing groundedness for
expressing gratitude and also
for visualizing whatever they
had their hearts set on. And
there's a beautiful mantra that
goes along with this ancient
practice of looking into your
palms meditatively. And that
mantra is also known as the
Karadarshanam Mantra or the.
Now if you've been a listener of
Mahagata for the past few years
or months, you know that the is
one that you cannot miss because
it is loved and adored
and practiced by so many of our
listeners worldwide that it is
one of our most popular releases
of all time. This mantra,
the has several benefits. Right?
As I said, this is a chant that
can be used to experience
groundedness. This is a chance
that can be used to shift
internally from negativity
towards positiveness and hope.
And lastly, this is a chant that
can help you. focus on and
visualize and ultimately
manifest any desire that you
hold in your heart. This is a
consistent practice that will
take you closer towards your
dreams and goals. And that is
why I have recommended this
mantra to countless people who
are experiencing financial
difficulty, who are experiencing
negativity at home and problems
in family relationships and so
on. Because when you're going
through those difficult times.
What you need the most is
clarity. You need solutions.
You're looking for answers.
You're looking for some sort
of inspired answer. to come to
you. But it won't come to you
when your mind is cluttered and
clogged with worry and fear.
This practice and this mantra is
a way of
unplugging and decluttering the
mind. and focusing on the
outcome that you desire,
irrespective of how difficult
your current situation is, You
focus on the outcome that you
desire how it looks, how it
feels, and through this
practice. You open yourself up
to solutions and answers that
you previously couldn't even
think of. This is the exact
experience
that many of our listeners have
had, and I will share an
experience or 2 with you in just
a few minutes.
But for now, I want you to
experience a little bit of this
mantra. Alright. So I'm gonna
chant the four lines of this
mantra, but I need you to
open your palms the way I
described and just focus on
them. Focus on your palms,
all the way up to your
fingertips, and then all the way
back down to the base of your
palm. alright, throughout
the duration of the four lines
of this mantra. Okay? So here
goes.
