Panache Desai’s first book, Discovering Your Soul Signature, was a bestseller that caught the attention of Oprah Winfrey and earned him a guest spot on her Super Soul Conversations show in 2013. Even after several years of world book tours and radio talk shows, the visionary thought leader and spiritual teacher is over-the-moon excited about his latest release, You Are Enough: Revealing the Soul to Discover Your Power, Potential, and Possibility. “I feel like this was the book that I was born to write,” enthuses Desai.

I think of it like I do a piece of antivirus software. It’s written specifically to eradicate the virus of not deserving and not believing that you’re lovable. This is the root cause of why we are suffering. We can go through divorce, challenges with our children, and any personal challenges, but we do not have to equate these to suffering.

When you realize that you’re enough, everyone else becomes enough by extension. You treat everyone as yourself. You don’t have to hold them to a higher standard or to some ideal. You’re far softer and gentler with everyone because you’re far softer and gentler with yourself. Coming to that acceptance of I am enough, you can take your foot off gas. You can take a breath and just know all is okay.

When we don’t feel like we’re enough, we can never own and access the love that we are. We’re playing a role, turning ourselves inside out, dressing in a certain way, doing things on social media that are inauthentic to who we are. Why? Because we’re representing the image of wanting to be popular and desirable so somebody will like us and give us their unlimited expression of love. However, when we realize that every experience we have is self-generated, and that we’re the source of every single thing we are experiencing, our sadness, anger and fear, we can also realize that we are the source of love that we are feeling.

We human beings are going through a process of evolution that to a certain degree has been already charted on our behalf. A collective awakening is being birthed in the world. We are all on the same journey in which the essential self is emerging into conscious experience, shifting out of separation and suffering into connection and bliss. Every single aspect of your life contributes toward this greater evolution. Every incredible messenger, teacher and person who has ever had a calling, a passion or love for something that they’ve shared with the world has shortened the distance between where people are and the outcome they are moving toward, which is oneness, or love of self. In the wake of widespread cacophony, pretenses and egoic structures are falling away, unveiling the true reality of love, kindness and human connection.
