During my college days, in hostel I would observe some of my classmates and one common peculiar thing among them was nobody could defeat them in sleeping. Some of them would sleep for 18 hours, some 16 hours every single day, then they would have to bunk the lectures which affected their studies and ultimately few of them failed in exams. It's said,'people who are in the comfort of enjoying inaction often pays high price in the end'. They would have the big alarm clock but mind's voice is more louder than alarm, which would say, "sleep for some more time...don't get up early...exam is after 2 months...don't worry...now you take rest".
Unless one is determined he can not go against the demands and proposals of mind, then everything becomes difficult for such person. Laziness may look very attractive and appealing but it's just sucks away our energy and time. Someone has said,'laziness will be the cause of your pain'. When one is lazy he gets into to the mode of postponing the things and loses all opportunities slowly...
When person gets introduced to spirituality due to partial knowledge he feels, now it's really easy I won't have do anything and I will depend upon God fully, But it doesn't work like that 'God helps to those who help themselves'. Even if we observe the examples from our scriptures we can find that every devotee had practically struggled to get the mercy of the Lord it wasn't an easy task. Just take the example of Pandavas, how much they struggled for their rights? Lord was with Arjuna during Kurukshetra battle, but lord didn't say,'Arjuna you rest now I will fight on behalf of you'...no, lord inspired him to fight by speaking Gita. See the example of Prabhupad, throughout the day he would manage temples and preach and at night he would translate the books, such a hard work at such advanced age!! So after coming to spirituality person becomes more hardworking and not lazy(as general people think).
Lord speaks in 6th ch that one has to be regulative in his habits of sleeping, eating, working and recreation. Unless one is regulated and determined he is no more than animal as prabhupad would sometime say. Laziness can be overcomed by practice and staying with those who are not lazy. What to say of spirituality one won't progress even materially when person is lazy. Lack of the inspiration is main cause for laziness. Bhagavad Gita is the most inspirational song ever spoken, whoever picks it up and follow it he doesn't become lazy but becomes crazy to remain busy for the pleasure of God and humanity. In conclusion give up your laziness and adopt to the craziness to fulfill your material as well as spiritual dreams!!!
