=What is Laziness?=
It is a dangerous illness: laziness.
<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/laziness-tiredness-fatigue-tamas#p1</ref>
In laziness there is an ill-will which refuses to make an effort. It gives rise to excuses and slow in movements which further tends to make any progress.
Tiredness shows lack of will for progress. When you feel tired or fatigued that is lack of will for progress. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/laziness-tiredness-fatigue-tamas#p3</ref>
==Laziness in Instruments==
We are made up of different pieces of being which are all gathered together to make us feel alive and act through the person.
But there are many of them, and there are in particular concentrations on different planes: just as you have a physical being, you have a vital being, a mental being, a psychic being, and many others with all possible intermediaries. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/09/september-7-1968#p21</ref>
Through '''Mental''', the mind tries to control and makes us fall into tamas and unconsciousness which we start acknowledging as relaxing. There is a constant awakening and development of the mind and general awakening of the whole being—which is the opposite of sleep. It is necessary to receive the supreme force and a conscious sleep. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/10/october-18-1969#p58</ref>
Through '''Vital''', the body is afraid of trying anything new because of laziness and dullness. Furthermore, it abhors a dull, monotonous, tasteless, worthless life and falls into inertia. The vital which is developed, which has a special capacity, is stronger than the physical inertia and gives an intensity of vibration and life and action that those whose vital being is not developed do not possess. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/9-april-1958#p4</ref>
Through '''Physical''', physical suffering is to me like a child being beaten, there is no bad will in Matter, everything is inertia and ignorance. There is ignorance in truth, origin, possibility,etc. The physical consciousness gets the true peace and calm in the cells and feels at rest even in full work or in the most concentrated condition and this tendency of inertia goes out of nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/07/september-28-1966#p19</ref>
There is always a divine Presence in the psychic being. The psychic being is a terrestrial formation.
The cells themselves observed something between torpor, drowsiness, numbness and indifference; and that state is mistaken for peace, quietude and acceptance, but it really is a form of tamas
==Laziness in Relation to other Attributes/Quality==
Depression: It is seen that we always cling on to the old habits and refuse to change or make progress under the pressure of being comfortable at our own pace. However, this often results in unhappiness and leads to serious ailments.
During this time, one must refuse to be depressed, and be quiet enough without any worries. By keeping oneself open towards the divine through sincere efforts. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/depression#p26</ref>
“Aspire for a positive sattwic opening for strength, for light, for peace and do not worry or repine if the progress is slow at first, nor grudge the time and labour of preparation necessary before there can be a rapid advance in the Yoga.” <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/sorrow-and-suffering#p12</ref>
Boredom: It is the dullness and the lack of interest in the work which results in bringing a person to its lowest point. It shows a degradation in health, mind, and body. At such stage one must make an effort task oneself, "This boredom shows that I have something to learn, some progress to make in myself, some inertia to conquer, some weakness to overcome." <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/to-the-students-young-and-old#p7</ref>
