It's not the object of the enthusiasm that is important. However, we link our enthusiasm to this object and this leads apathy. But if you're just enthusiastic, then it can be directed to anything, in any way and in any direction. This is how multi-dimensional growth takes place. The fullness of consciousness blossoms in all aspects. स्फूर्तिमात्रो । You are just enthusiasm! It does not matter whether you are enthusiastic about food, a picnic, knowledge, singing, dancing, music, gardening or anything else. The source is there. You can direct it in any direction. That is when you are free from likes and dislikes. If you feel that you only like something and do not like something else, your infinite nature is not unfolded, then you are not one with the Divine. You are not one with the Universal Existence. This means that some doors or sides in your being are closed; that there are walls somewhere. It's not open all around. All the doors and windows are not open. Be just enthusiasm. You are that. You are just enthusiasm; न किञ्चिदिव शाम्यति, rest in peace. It should be repeated several times, because by repeating it by several times you grasp it. So now see how you can do this. Be enthusiastic about something you never liked before. First know what you don't like and then just be enthusiastic about it. This is a game! This is how you can lose the seriousness in life. Life is nothing to be very serious about.
Life is a ball in your hands to play with. Don't just hold onto the ball. If you are holding on tightly, how can you play with it? If you throw the ball, it will come back to you. Throw the ball. When you get it in your hands, it means throw and play! Otherwise you become very serious, like a bogged-down animal. Have you seen scared monkeys? Very scared monkeys hold on tightly to something. You are free. And this knowledge makes you free.
You are pure enthusiasm; walking enthusiasm. It does not matter whether you walk to a small boy or to an adult. Have the same enthusiasm. Have it for a millionaire, the president of a country, a working boy, or a labourer. And how are you going to do that? First see what it is that you don't like then be enthusiastic about it. The other day someone said they never liked washing dishes. And then out of anger they decided to wash them, and felt very good doing it. It felt good doing the work that they had branded hateful in their minds. Start doing it, and with enthusiasm, and you will see your enthusiasm is free from objects, circumstances, and people. Then you are just enthusiasm, simply enthusiasm. स्फूर्तिमात्रो should ring a bell in your minds. That is happy-go-lucky! Very nice. Beautiful.
