My Laziness.. The Journey from Snake to Python

 

Today I am in my mood to Write.
As my thought are clear and Bright.

My Laziness wants to stay Away,
But my heart and mind has lots to Say.

What is Laziness for me is the Topic.
Let have a detailed view which is Microscopic.

The habit of resting before I get Tired.
This is something I never had Desired.

I could be a morning person..
If morning happened to be around noon.
This is what I want to get rid out of this soon.

  
I am going to dissect Laziness from different angles.
 
Types of Laziness

1) Tamasik- This is the deadly one. You sleep and sleep and 5 more minutes sleep. Example
 
       Lazy Boy:: Papa 1 glass pani to de do.(Dad, please give me one glass of water)
       Papa:: khud uth k pi lo.(Get up and drink on your own)
       Lazy Boy:: Please de do na papa.(Please, please give me)
       Papa:: ab manga to akar thappar maroun ga.(Now if you ask I will come and slap)
       Lazy Boy:: Thappar maarne ao to pani lete ana(Ok, while u come to slap me,  get water)

 
2) Rajasik –You eat and more and more and more. Example

       “I’m ashamed of the way we live,” a wife said to her lazy husband who refused to find a job. My father pays our rent. My mother buys all of our food. My sister buys our clothes. My aunt bought us a car. I’m just so ashamed.”
        The husband rolled over on the couch. “You should be ashamed,” he agreed. “Those two worthless brothers of yours never give us a cent.”

3) Satvik- You compromise on your Pranayams, like 8-8-6 becomes 6-6-4 .

 
Categories of Laziness

1)    Passive- Doing things in patterns like 3 out of 5, don’t feel like doing, reaching Satsang late.

2)    Active- Reinvent Kabir Sutras
        Aaj kare so kal kar,kal kare so parso,
        Itni bhi jaldi kya hai,abhi to bacha hai barso

Science of Laziness

There are two flavors of energy in our system
1)    Positive flavor
Enthusiasm->Creativity->Genorisity and Joy-> Love->Gratitude->Alertness->Absolute Bliss


2)    Not positive flavor

Laziness is nothing but lack of enthusiasm and commitment.

Frequently Asked questions
 
Q: Guruji, why do I feel so lazy all the time?

Sri Sri :You cannot feel lazy all the time. If there is some charm, then all laziness disappears. If there is a vision, then also laziness disappears. Otherwise if your sugar is low or vitamin D is low then laziness comes. So there are many factors for laziness. Food is one of the basic reasons for laziness.
 
Q: Guruji, when do you rest?
 
Sri Sri: Between the life times.
 
Q: Guruji, How to overcome Laziness?

Sri Sri: Pay someone to be after you when you are lazy. Tell them, “If I am lazy, don’t let me sit and lie down. Come get me with a stick.”  Laziness goes away when you have a buddy who is after you. Your spouse would be good here (laughs)!
 
There are three ways to get over laziness:

 One, greed. If you are greedy for something, it will take you out of laziness. If someone tells you, “If you do this pranayama for 40 days, you will get $1 million.” You will say, “I will do for 45 days, just to be sure!”

 Two, fear. Fear makes people fall into hoaxes. Some hoaxes even claim to cleanse Karmas. Karmas go away when you meditate. When you are in love, and serve, Karmas are erased.
It is unfortunate that people don’t know anything about spirituality - they have neither the experience nor have they read scriptures.  This is where the Vedic tradition is important.
 So many seers laid down the rules. And then authenticated it to make sure it’s not an illusion. But people still go into hoaxes, because of fear.

 Three, love. When you are deeply in love, where is the question of laziness?


I am Lazy!!!So What!!!

If none of these three work, revert to my first option. Pay someone to be after you!

Guruji says Laziness is a blessings and it comes to you in many forms.
If you are generous, blessing comes to you as abundance.
If you are hardworking, blessing comes to you as happiness.
If you are lazy, blessing comes to you as hard work!
If you are pleasure loving, blessing comes to you as dispassion.
If you are dispassionate, blessing comes to you as knowledge of the Self.      --Sri Sri
