What is enthusiasm? Enthusiasm means to be connected to God within. When you are with your source, you can only be enthusiastic. Apathy is when you are away from the source of life. You cannot be but enthusiastic when your mind is totally in the present moment.
You should know that dispassion is not apathy. It is simply a broader perspective of reality. Dispassion is moving towards the source. Dispassion simply means the way back home. It is the journey towards the source, which is a reservoir of enthusiasm.
When dispassion and enthusiasm co-exist, that is the secret of perennial enthusiasm and profound dispassion. Though they appear to be opposite, they are actually complementary.

News Flash:
An 11
th century temple rose from ruins in Guruji’s birthplace of Thayagasamudram thanks to the sole effort of one of our Art of Living teacher, Setu Mamy. Even though about 80 years old, her enthusiasm is that of a teenager. Single-handedly she overcame all hurdles to bring this temple back to life. It was a grand celebration in the village. Guruji promised to build homes for needy people there.
Jai Guru Dev
