Those who are lazy, lack not in energy but in understanding.
00:04
You do not know that you need to work and that work will get you benefits, dividends,
00:10
joys.
00:11
Therefore, you are preferring inaction over action.
00:14
Had you really known the sweetness, the ambrosia of right action,
00:19
you would have chosen right action over laziness every moment.
00:23
Will you ever miss a date because you just overslept?
00:26
And if you do that, you will curse yourself entire life.
00:29
Sleeping offers some pleasure, dating offers a higher pleasure.
00:33
Therefore, you will not keep lying down there lazy.
00:38
It's just that in the case of dating, the pleasure is very physical,
00:42
very gross, very easy to see, appreciate and calculate.
00:46
In the case of right work, the joy is internal and subtle
00:50
and therefore difficult to quantitatively calculate and so we miss out on it.
00:54
Because it cannot be easily quantified, therefore we quantify it as zero.
00:58
That's our inner trick.
