What If You Were Never Broken to Begin With?
What if everything we think we know about evolving spiritually is upside down? What if the workshops, the healing modalities, the endless self-improvement: what if it’s all keeping you from the very freedom you seek?
In a profound conversation that challenges the foundations of modern spirituality, mystic teacher Panache Desai shares a perspective so simple, yet so revolutionary, that it offers a radically different path to peace…
What if you don’t need to be fixed? What if you never did?
This isn’t another spiritual teaching promising transformation through effort. This is an invitation to consider a different way—one that asks you to stop running from yourself and finally come home.

The Illusion That’s Keeping You Stuck
We’ve been sold a story. A story that says you’re broken. That your emotions are “low vibration.” That your ego is the enemy. That your humanity is an obstacle to overcome on the path to enlightenment.
But what if there’s another way to look at this? What if this rejection of your humanity is actually creating your suffering?
Think about it.
How much time, energy, and money have you spent trying to fix yourself? How many modalities have you explored, hoping the next one would finally make you whole?
How many times have you felt like you’re failing at spirituality because you still get angry, anxious, or overwhelmed?
In Desai’s view, the spiritual and personal development industries often thrive on our sense of incompletion. They need us to believe something is wrong with us. Because if we realized we were already whole, already perfect, already at infinite potential, there would be nothing left to sell us.
As he powerfully articulates in this eye-opening conversation, the moment you accept yourself exactly as you are, the illusion loses its power over you. The suffering ends. Not because you’ve transcended your humanity, but because you’ve finally embraced it.
What Spiritual Awakening Actually Is (And Isn’t)
We’ve been conditioned to think of spiritual awakening as some grand achievement, a destination we reach after years of meditation, workshops, and inner work.
We imagine it as a permanent state of bliss where we float above life’s challenges, untouched by human emotion. Desai offers a different perspective entirely. According to his teaching, awakening isn’t about becoming something you’re not.
It’s about recognizing what you’ve always been. In his understanding, you didn’t come to Earth to evolve your soul or fix your karma. You came here for a fully immersive experience.
You came to know yourself through the beautiful, messy, perfectly imperfect experience of being human. He explains that the soul, that infinite, eternal aspect of you, has always been at infinite potential. It doesn’t need to grow or improve.
What needs to shift is your relationship with your humanity. When you stop rejecting your emotions, your thoughts, your body, and your experiences, something miraculous happens: you discover the peace that was always there, waiting beneath the resistance.
Interestingly, this perspective aligns with research on spontaneous spiritual awakenings, which shows that these profound experiences often involve a sudden recognition of oneness—not through achieving something new, but through dissolving the illusion of separation.
The Radical Power of Acceptance
Here’s the practice Desai believes changes everything: acceptance. Not acceptance as resignation. Not acceptance as giving up. But acceptance as the doorway to love, integration, and completion.
The reason we spend years in therapy, workshops, and healing modalities isn’t because the trauma is too big, it’s because we haven’t truly accepted that it happened.
In his framework, when you finally accept that the trauma happened without needing to work on it endlessly, process it, or heal it for years, it completes. When you accept your emotions without labeling them as “negative” or “low vibration,” they move through you naturally.
When you accept your humanity without trying to transcend it, you discover the freedom you’ve been seeking. He teaches that this is the practice that dissolves karma, ends the cycle of suffering, and brings you into alignment with your true nature.
As Desai puts it: What you accept, you complete. What you resist, you perpetuate.
Living as a Human Being, Not a Human Doing
One common narrative in modern spirituality is that you need to constantly work on yourself. That growth requires effort. That transformation is something you achieve through discipline and practice.
But what if there’s another way? What if the real transformation happens when you stop trying so hard? When you stop surviving your emotions and start allowing them? When you stop controlling your life and start witnessing it?
This doesn’t mean you become passive or stop taking action. It means you act from a place of wholeness rather than lack. You create from inspiration rather than desperation. You live from your heart rather than your fear.
Desai points to the masters: Buddha, Christ, and Krishna, noting that they didn’t achieve enlightenment by working harder on themselves.
They awakened by finally accepting themselves completely. They stopped fighting reality. They stopped trying to be anything other than what they were. And in that acceptance, they discovered they were already everything.
Interestingly, he shares that in near-death experiences, the form encountered often reflects a person’s beliefs. If you’re Christian, Christ appears. If you’re Buddhist, Buddha. If you’re atheist, Albert Einstein may appear.
In his view, this points to something deeper than belief systems. This suggests that the path matters less than the destination: a return to wholeness through acceptance.

Your Humanity Is Not the Problem, It’s the Point
Desai believes we stand at a critical moment in human history. Not because of external threats, but because of an internal choice we must make: Will we continue to reject our humanity, or will we finally fall in love with it?
In his view, the future of our species depends on this choice. If we keep believing that emotions are problems to solve, that the mind is an impediment, that the body is a limitation, we risk surrendering the very things that make us human.
We risk trading our biology for technology, our feelings for algorithms, our humanity for some false promise of perfection. But if we choose differently, if we choose to accept, embrace, and celebrate our humanity, we preserve it.
Not just for ourselves, but for future generations. This, he suggests, is the real work. Not fixing yourself. Not transcending your humanity. But falling deeply, madly, completely in love with the messy, beautiful, perfectly imperfect experience of being human.
Because here’s what he offers as a liberating truth: You are not broken. You never were. You are already whole, already perfect, already at infinite potential.
The only thing standing between you and that realization is your willingness to accept it. So take a breath. Come back to yourself. Stop trying to be anything other than what you are. And in that moment of radical acceptance, discover what freedom might feel like.
Whether this resonates as your path or simply offers a new perspective to consider, Desai’s teaching invites us to question: What if the answer isn’t in doing more, but in accepting more?
You don’t need yet another workshop. You don’t need another healing session. You don’t need to wait for some future moment when you’ve finally “done the work.”
What if you just need to accept yourself? Right here. Right now. Exactly as you are. That’s the path Desai offers. That’s the practice he teaches. That’s the invitation he extends.
