Going with the flow, and being a lazy loser || Acharya Prashant (2016)

Question: How to differentiate between and recognize, whether one trusts in the universe to unfold one’s destiny and goes with the flow, and allows the life to unfold, and be the one who is a loser, who is lazy and does nothing?

Acharya Prashant (AP):

The lazy one does a lot. The lazy one is lazy and inactive, only externally. Internally, he is very active.

Please appreciate this.

The ones we call as ‘lazy’, are not lazy at all. They may not move their limbs, but their minds are very active. Absolute laziness is a supreme virtue. Sages like Ashtavakra have sung greatly in praise of ‘Divine laziness’.

*‘Divine laziness’ is a total stopping of all movement; coming to that point within, where nothing moves at all.***

That’s why is is being called as ‘lazy’.
