How to Actually Develop Priti (When You Don’t Have It Yet)”
All week we’ve been building to this-
How do you develop genuine spiritual enthusiasm when you don’t have it?
The answer might surprise you
You can’t force priti. You can only discover it.
Here’s how-
STEP 1: Stop Doing What You “Should” Do Most spiritual practice is based on obligation
“I should meditate.” “I should read scriptures.” “I should be disciplined.”
Should-based practice is dead from the start.
Stop.
Give yourself permission to NOT do anything spiritual for one week.
No meditation. No books. No practices.
Just notice, What do you actually miss?
What creates a genuine pull in you?
That’s where your priti lives.
Not in what you think you should do.
In what you genuinely want to do.
STEP 2: Follow Your Genuine Interest (Even If It Seems “Unspiritual”)
Maybe meditation bores you.
But you love music. Or walking in nature. Or writing. Or serving others.
That’s your doorway.
Spirituality is not a fixed set of practices.
It’s depth applied to whatever you do.
Just like Virat Kohli for cricket.
The musician who plays with total presence is meditating.
The writer who writes from their soul is doing inner work.
Me writing this for you is Priti.
The person who walks in nature with full awareness is practicing.
Stop trying to fit yourself into traditional practices.
Find what naturally creates depth in YOU.
STEP 3: Start Ridiculously Small
Don’t commit to 1-hour meditation if you have no priti for it.
Start with 5 conscious breaths.
Don’t commit to reading the entire Gita.
Start with one verse that speaks to you.
The goal is not achievement. It’s connection. Connection to the practice. Connection to yourself.
When there’s genuine connection, expansion happens naturally.
STEP 4: Protect Your Depth from Superficiality This is crucial.
You cannot develop priti while living 100% superficially.
Create islands of depth-
∙ One phone-free hour daily ∙ One slow, conscious meal ∙ One walk without purpose ∙ One conversation without agenda
These create the soil in which priti can grow.
STEP 5: Recognize the Difference Between Boredom and Depth
Modern mind is addicted to stimulation.
When you first try to go deep, it feels boring.
That’s not actual boredom. That’s withdrawal from stimulation.
Sit with it.
The boredom is the gate. Not the destination.
On the other side of boredom is depth.
On the other side of depth is priti.
STEP 6: Stop Comparing Your Practice to Others Someone meditates 2 hours daily? Good for them.
Someone met 10 gurus? Good for them.
Your path is yours.
Comparison kills priti faster than anything else.
Because suddenly you’re practicing to measure up, not to go deep.
STEP 7: Make Friends with Routine
Priti doesn’t mean constant novelty.
It means finding the alive quality in repetition.
Same meditation. Same time. Same place.
But never the same experience.
Because YOU are never the same.
When you’re truly present, routine becomes ritual.
And ritual is where depth lives.
The Bottom Line-
You cannot manufacture priti.
But you can create the conditions for it to arise-
∙ Stop forcing yourself ∙ Follow genuine interest ∙ Start small and real ∙ Protect depth from speed ∙ Sit with boredom until it dissolves ∙ Stop comparing ∙ Make peace with routine
When these conditions are met, priti arises naturally.
Not as excitement. As quiet, unshakeable joy.
The kind that sustains you through decades, not days.
That’s when your spiritual practice stops being something you do.
And becomes who you are.
This week, what’s ONE thing you learned about your own relationship with spiritual practice?
Share below. Your honesty might be exactly what someone else needs to hear. 🙏 This concludes our series on Spiritual Enthusiasm.
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?
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.

So which path is right for you?
Both. And it depends.
It depends on the Vāsanā.
It depends on where you are in your journey.
It depends on your honesty with yourself.
Some desires must be lived through.
Others must be seen through.
The wise person knows the difference.
But here is what both paths have in common-
You cannot dissolve what you refuse to look at.
Most people spend their entire lives avoiding their deepest desires, pretending they don't exist, distracting themselves, staying busy.
And those unexamined Vāsanās?
They don't disappear.
They consolidate.
They carry forward.
Freedom is not the absence of desire.
Freedom is the complete dissolution of the one who desires.
When the Vāsanās are gone, not suppressed, not hidden, but truly dissolved, there is no seed left to plant a new birth.
There is only consciousness.
Aware of itself.
Needing nothing.
Going nowhere.
That is Moksha.
And it begins with a single honest question-
What am I still carrying?

The second path is subtler. And for those ready, far more direct.
Understand the futility. Let it dissolve without acting.
You look at the desire clearly.
Not with judgment. Not with guilt.
Just with clear, unflinching seeing.
What will this give me, truly?
Has any desire, once fulfilled, ever brought lasting peace?
Or did fulfillment only create a brief pause before the next wanting began?
When this understanding becomes genuine — not intellectual, but lived, the Vāsanā loses its grip.
Not because you forced it away.
But because you saw through it.
A mirage doesn't disappear because you fight it.
It disappears the moment you know it's a mirage.
This is Viveka. Discrimination.
The ability to see what is real and what is only appearing to be real.
For some Vāsanās, this is enough.
One moment of true seeing, and the desire simply falls away.

There are two ways to dissolve a Vāsanā.
Today, the first path-
Act on it, completely and consciously.
Some desires cannot be reasoned away.
They are too old. Too deep. Too embodied.
For these, the path is not suppression.
Suppression only buries the seed deeper.
The path is conscious completion.
You enter the experience fully. With total awareness. Without adding new attachment to it.
You let the desire burn itself out, like a fire that has consumed all its fuel.
This is why certain spiritual paths do not ask you to renounce the world immediately.
They ask you to live it, consciously, until you have tasted enough to stop craving.
The key word is consciousness.
An unconscious experience feeds the Vāsanā.
A conscious experience can end it.
The same action. Two entirely different results.
The difference is only awareness.
Wish you a safe and happy holi.

How does a Vāsanā work?
Simple. Devastating.
Vāsanā → Desire → Action → New Vāsanā.
You have a latent impression. It rises as a desire. You act on it. The action reinforces the impression. And the cycle deepens.
Every single day, without awareness, you are feeding the very chains that bind you.
The food you crave. The validation you seek. The anger you indulge. The attachment you refuse to examine.
None of these are random.
They are Vāsanās playing out through you.
And here's what makes it truly profound-
At the time of death, all your scattered desires, every longing, every unfulfilled want, consolidate into a single force.
That force becomes the seed of your next birth.
You don't just die.
You carry.
And what you carry, you become.

You are not your thoughts.
You are not your emotions.
But you are bound by something far more subtle than both.
Vāsanā.
In Vedanta, Vāsanā is the deep imprint of desire left behind by every experience you've ever had.
Not just in this life. Across lifetimes.
Every time you wanted something intensely, and either got it or didn't,
it left a mark.
A residue.
A seed.
And that seed is what pulls you back.
Back into a body. Back into a life. Back into the cycle.
The chain of rebirth is not made of karma alone.
It is made of unfulfilled, unexamined desire.
This week, we explore one of the deepest teachings in all of spirituality-
How to dissolve your Vāsanās, and what freedom truly means.

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.
🙏
