How to Know If You Have Real Spiritual Enthusiasm (Or Just Spiritual FOMO)

We’ve covered-

∙ Why spiritual practices die (superficial living)
∙ What sustains practice (priti - genuine enthusiasm)
∙ Why modern life kills it (speed, efficiency, kicks)

Today: How to recognize if you have real priti or just spiritual FOMO.

REAL PRITI looks like this-

✅ You don’t need to convince yourself to practice You wake up looking forward to it. Not forcing it.

✅ Obstacles don’t stop you, they challenge you
Bad day? You meditate MORE, not less.
Busy schedule? You make time, not excuses.

✅ You’re not collecting techniques, you’re deepening ONE
You’re not jumping from guru to guru, method to method.
You found what works for you and you’re going deep.

✅ You don’t need external validation
You’re not posting about your practice for likes.
You’re not comparing your progress with others.
You know your own depth.

✅ Even routine feels fresh
Same meditation every day? Still interesting.
Same mantra repeated? Still alive.
Because you’re not doing it mechanically. You’re PRESENT.

✅ You’re okay with no “results”
You’re not meditating to “get” something.
You’re meditating because the sitting itself is enough.

That’s priti.

FAKE ENTHUSIASM (Spiritual FOMO) looks like this-

❌ You need constant new techniques to stay interested
Bored after 2 weeks. Searching for the “next level” practice.

❌ You quit when obstacles appear
Missed 2 days? “I’ll start fresh next month.”
Had a bad meditation? “This technique doesn’t work.”

❌ You’re building a spiritual resume
“I’ve done Vipassana. I’ve met this guru. I practice this technique.”
Collecting experiences like trophies.

❌ You need others to see your practice
Every meditation session posted on Instagram.
Every spiritual book photographed for validation.

❌ Routine feels like drudgery
“Ugh, meditation again. Same thing every day.”
It’s a task, not a joy.

❌ You’re meditating for results
“When will I get enlightened?”
“How long until I stop having negative thoughts?”
“What’s the benefit if I’m still getting angry?”
That’s not priti. That’s spiritual consumerism.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth-

Most people doing “spiritual practice” don’t have priti.

They have spiritual FOMO.

Fear of missing out on enlightenment.
Fear of being left behind while others “evolve.”
Fear of wasting their life not being spiritual enough.

And fear-based practice cannot sustain.
Only love-based practice sustains.
Priti is love. For the practice itself. Not for what it gives you.

So ask yourself honestly-

Do you love your spiritual practice?

Or do you love the IDEA of being a spiritual person?

Do you love meditating?

Or do you love telling people you meditate?

Do you love silence?

Or do you love seeming deep?

The difference between these is the difference between those who transform and those who pretend.

Today evening(Friday): The final piece, How to actually develop priti if you don’t have it yet.

Be brutally honest, Do you have real priti for your practice, or are you running on spiritual FOMO?

No judgment. Just awareness.

Why Modern Life is Designed to Kill Your Spiritual Enthusiasm

You’ve learned about Priti, genuine enthusiasm from profound interest.

Now let’s talk about why you can’t feel it.

Because modern techno-civilization is designed to keep you superficial.

Here’s how-


1. SPEED

Everything is fast. Fast food. Fast communication. Fast results.

You’re always in a hurry to go from where you are to where you’re no better.

But depth requires slowness.

You can’t have a deep conversation in 5 minutes.

You can’t have deep meditation in a rushed morning.

You can’t have deep experience while moving at high speed.

Speed keeps you on the surface.


2. EFFICIENCY

Everything must be optimized. Productive. Result-oriented.

“What’s the ROI of meditation?”
“How long until I feel benefits?”
“What’s the fastest technique?”

But spirituality is not efficient.

It’s inefficient by design.

You sit for an hour. Nothing happens.

You practice for months. No visible results.

You study for years. Still confused.

The need for efficiency kills depth.


3. SENSATION

Because you live superficially, you need constant kicks to feel alive.

Social media scrolling. Netflix binges. Shopping. Gossip. Drama.

These are not depth. These are distractions from emptiness.

And here’s the trap-

When you approach spirituality the same way…

You’re looking for kicks, not transformation.

“Did I feel something in meditation?”
“Did I have a mystical experience?”
“Did the guru give me special energy?”

These are spiritual kicks.

True spirituality is about deep experience, not kicks.

The difference-

Kick: Quick. External. Needs repetition. Fades fast.

Deep Experience: Slow. Internal. Self-sustaining. Transforms permanently.

You’re addicted to kicks because the superficial life needs them to survive.

Without kicks, the emptiness becomes unbearable.

So what’s the solution?

You can’t develop priti while living superficially.

You have to slow down. Deliberately.
Consciously.

Not forever. Not monastically.

But create islands of depth in the ocean of superficiality.

One hour of no phone.

One meal eaten slowly, consciously.

One conversation without checking time.

One walk without purpose.

These create cracks in the superficial shell.

Through these cracks, depth begins to seep in.

And where there’s depth, priti can grow.

Tomorrow: What genuine spiritual enthusiasm actually looks like (and how to recognize it in your life).

What’s one “kick” you’re using to avoid the emptiness of superficial living?

Name it. Awareness is the first step to changing it.

The Sanskrit Word That Explains Why Some People Never Quit Their Practice

Yesterday, we talked about why most spiritual practices die by Wednesday.

Today, the solution.

The Sanskrit word is Priti (प्रीति).

Most people translate it as "joy" or "
delight."

But it's deeper than that.

Priti is the enthusiasm that comes from profound interest.

Not excitement. Not motivation. Not willpower.

Genuine joy in doing something.

Think about it-

When you're genuinely interested in something — not casually, but deeply-

You don't need an alarm to wake up for it.
You don't need motivation to do it.
You don't need discipline to sustain it.
You're pulled to it naturally.

The musician with priti doesn't need motivation to practice. They wake up eager.

The artist with priti doesn't need discipline to create. They can't NOT create.

The seeker with priti doesn't need to force meditation. It's the best part of their day.

That's the difference between those who sustain and those who quit.

But here's where most people get it wrong-

They try to manufacture priti.

"I should be enthusiastic about meditation."
"I should love spiritual practice."

You can't force genuine interest.

You can only discover what genuinely interests YOU.

Not what the guru says.
Not what the books recommend.
Not what's trending in spirituality.

What pulls YOU from your depth.

For some, it's silence.
For some, it's movement (yoga, dance).
For some, it's devotion (bhakti).
For some, it's study (jnana).
For some, it's service (karma).

There's no "right" path.

There's only YOUR path, the one that creates priti in you.

When you find that, you don't need to "sustain enthusiasm."

Enthusiasm sustains itself.

Tomorrow - Why modern life makes it almost impossible to develop priti (and what to do about it).

What's one thing you do that creates genuine joy in you — not excitement, but deep satisfaction?

That's your clue to where your priti lives.

Why Your Spiritual Practice Dies by Wednesday (Every Single Week)

Monday morning, "This week I'll meditate daily. 30 minutes. No excuses.

Wednesday evening: "Maybe tomorrow."

Friday: Complete silence about meditation.

Sound familiar?

Here's what's actually happening-

You think the problem is discipline.

It's not.

The problem is you're trying to fit spirituality into a life that's draining you dry.

Wake up. Brush. Rush. Work. Traffic. Family. Bills. Exhaustion.

By evening, there's nothing left.

Not because you're weak.

Because you're living at a superficial level.

Modern life demands speed and efficiency.

Every moment scheduled. Every task optimized. Every second productive.

And spirituality? It demands the opposite.

Depth. Slowness. Presence.

You can't meditate deeply while living superficially.

You can't sustain spiritual practice while running on superficial energy.

The superficial life needs kicks to keep going-

Coffee to wake up
Social media for dopamine
Netflix to unwind
Alcohol to relax
Shopping to feel good

These are not depth. These are distractions from the emptiness of superficial living.

And then you try to add "spirituality" to this?

Another task. Another checkbox. Another thing to feel guilty about when you fail.
No wonder you give up by Wednesday.

This week, I'm breaking down why spiritual seekers quit and what actually works.

Tomorrow - The one quality that separates those who sustain from those who quit.

How many times have you started a spiritual practice with enthusiasm, only to quit within days?

Why Most Spiritual Seekers Give Up (The Real Reason Nobody Talks About)

More spiritual aspirants have fallen back into ordinary life because of one reason-

Failure to sustain enthusiasm.

Not a lack of discipline. Not a lack of knowledge.

Lack of genuine enthusiasm.

Here's what actually happens-

Wake up. Brush teeth. Make breakfast. Drop kids. Go to work. Come home exhausted. Repeat.

The mundane life drains you.

By evening, there's no energy left for meditation. No fire left for practice. No enthusiasm left for the quest.

So you start strong on Monday. By Friday, you've quit.

Then you feel guilty. Then you try again. Then you quit again.

This is the cycle that kills spirituality. Not in dramatic ways. In slow, mundane ways.

But here's what most people don't understand-

Enthusiasm is not motivation.

Motivation is external. It comes and goes.

Enthusiasm is internal. The Sanskrit word for it is Priti, "genuine joy in what you're doing."

Not excitement. Joy.

The difference-

Excitement needs constant stimulation. Loud music. New techniques. Retreats. Gurus.

Joy needs nothing. It arises from "profound interest", a commitment so deep that even routine doesn't feel dull.

Think about it-

When you're truly interested in something, not casually, but deeply, you don't need external motivation.

The musician doesn't need motivation to practice. They have priti.

The artist doesn't need motivation to create. They have priti.

The seeker with priti doesn't need motivation to meditate.

They wake up eager for it.

That's the difference between those who sustain and those who quit.


So why don't most people have this enthusiasm?

Because modern life operates at a superficial level.

Speed. Efficiency. Productivity. Results.

We're in a hurry to go from where we are to where we're no better.

And superficial living needs constant "kicks" to stay alive-

- Alcohol is a kick
- Social media is a kick
- Netflix binges are a kick
- Even gurus can become a kick

We've confused kicks with depth.

We've confused sensation with experience.

True spirituality is not about kicks. It's about deep experience.

And you cannot have deep experience while living superficially.
This is why people get stuck-

They approach spirituality the same way they approach everything else, superficially.

- Meditation becomes another task on the to-do list
- Spiritual books become information to collect
- Practices become routines to check off

No wonder there's no enthusiasm. There's no depth.

And without depth, all you have is:

- Sex orgies instead of love
- Parties instead of friendship
- Dogma instead of devotion
- Theology instead of religion
- Gurus instead of inner work

You're getting kicks, not transformation.
So what's the solution?

Stop trying to "fit spirituality" into your superficial life.

Instead, find what creates profound interest in you.

Not shallow interest. Profound interest.

The kind that borders on commitment.

For some, it's music. For some, it's service. For some, it's study. For some, it's silence.

It doesn't matter what it is.

What matters is that it pulls you from depth, not from sensation.

When you find that, enthusiasm becomes natural.

You don't need to "sustain" it. It sustains itself.

Because you're not forcing yourself anymore.

You're living from "priti", genuine joy.

The uncomfortable truth-

If your spiritual practice feels like drudgery, you're doing it wrong.

Not wrong technique. Wrong approach.

You're approaching it superficially.

You're trying to get a kick out of it.

You're looking for quick results, immediate experiences, instant transformation.

That's not spirituality. That's spiritual consumerism.

Real spirituality requires slowing down.

Not speed. Depth.

Not efficiency. Presence.

Not more practices. More commitment to one.

Ask yourself honestly-

Is your interest in spirituality profound or shallow?

Are you seeking deep experience or just kicks?

Are you committed to the quest or just dabbling?

Because here's the hard truth-

If you're not enthusiastic about your spiritual practice after the initial excitement fades..

You never had profound interest. You had sensationalism.

And sensationalism always dies when the novelty wears off.
The path forward-

Find what genuinely interests you at a profound level.

Not what you think you should be interested in.

Not what's trending in spirituality.

What pulls YOU from your depths.

Then commit to it completely.

Not as a task. As a love affair.

When there's genuine interest, enthusiasm is automatic.

When there's depth, the mundane doesn't drain you, it becomes part of the practice.

Even brushing your teeth becomes meditation when you live from depth.

That's when spirituality stops being another thing you're failing at.

And becomes the only thing you can't stop doing.


What's one spiritual practice you started with excitement but couldn't sustain? Was it profound interest or just a kick?

Be honest. That honesty is the beginning of depth.

You’re not losing your spiritual path. You’re living the wrong life. Here’s why 👇🏽

The alarm rings. You wake up. Brush teeth. Make chai. Rush to work. Handle family. Pay bills. Come home exhausted.

Repeat tomorrow.

And somewhere between the responsibilities… that spiritual spark you once had quietly dies.

Most people blame themselves.
“I’m not disciplined enough.”
“I don’t have enough willpower.”

No. That’s not the problem.

The problem is you’re living someone else’s life.

Running on a program installed by society - study, job, marriage, kids, retire, die.

That’s the herd mentality.

And the herd doesn’t care about your spiritual evolution.

Here’s what nobody tells you-

Every person is born with a unique gift. A dharma. A soul’s truest expression.

When Arjuna stood on the battlefield ready to give up, Krishna didn’t say “follow the crowd.”

He said, “Know your dharma. Fight YOUR battle.”

That message is for you too.

When you live your passion with full awareness, everything shifts.

Your work becomes worship.
Your ordinary day becomes sacred.
Your energy doesn’t deplete, it multiplies.

But it takes courage.

The courage to ask: “Is this really my life? Or did I borrow it from someone else’s expectations?”

Your exhaustion is not weakness.

It’s your soul rejecting a life that isn’t yours.

Find your gift. Pursue it completely.

Not despite your spiritual journey, AS your spiritual journey.

Because the greatest spiritual act is not renunciation.

It is authenticity.

What is the one gift you’ve been ignoring?

Name it below. Acknowledging it is the first act of courage. 🙏
