Lazy Man Always Waste their Time

Meaning: According to the line of Rigved 5/34/5 Lazy men waste away their time of endeavor and hence they do not succeed anywhere. They get disappointment everywhere.

Message: God has created man for doing labor, for endeavor and deeds, by which, he can perform austerity on the path of duty. Both labor and austerity are required for whatever work that is done by man. Involvement dedication and engrossment are by themselves austerities only. Any work is successful due to them only. Whether we do good or bad deeds, without labor, austerity and endeavor, nothing can be done.

There are 24 hours in the day. Gayatri mantra contains 24 letters. The deity of Gayatri mantra is Savita (or the sun) which tells us to be bright like the sun, to go on and on without swaying on the path of deeds, and never to stop despite whatever types of situations and obstacles.

But today laziness has taken a severe hold over man. He wants to obtain everything without doing anything. His thinking is becoming distorted. He thinks that whatever is the wish of God, will happen. Therefore instead of the labor of one's duty, it is better to sit quietly and ask for favor from the deities and the angels. Man forgets that he himself has given birth to his present situations, and he only is the creator of his own destiny. To save himself from doing any labor, he has invented many excuses and he wants to get satisfaction by blaming his failures on luck. Hence he gets disappointments only. On fact, when a man strives hard, then adverse situations also become favorable. God also helps and failure is changed to success.

Laziness is a great enemy of endeavor. It is a big obstacle in man's progress and causes maximum harm to life's values. A lazy person goes on avoiding work and this habit makes him gradually incapable and helpless. Because of disappointment and frustration gradually man's ability of discretion is also destroyed and he loses his daring to struggle against difficulties. Whatever capacity he had earlier also diminishes and is finally destroyed. He wishes to do something, but due to laziness, is not able to do anything. He does not develop the enthusiasm to translate his thoughts into action.

Success is achieved by those who cast away their laziness, are ready, full of energy, make good use of their time and do not waste their time in absurd talks. Those who wish their own benefit and fame, they must pull out the evil of laziness by its roots and throw it away, and go on working diligently with faith and with the least amount of talk.

Only with that is the desired reward possible to be achieved.
