Laziness comes from weakness, or from lack of interest''Q. What is “physical tamas”?'' ''A:'' … For curing the first—one must become strong. <ref>http://incarnatewordinstance, does it never happen to you that being seated you don’t want to get up, that having something to do you say, “Oh! I have to do all that….in/cwm/12/study#p81</ref>”

"I have told you many times, and couldn't repeat it too often'A:'' Not quite. Of course, that we are not made of laziness is a piece. Within ourselves we have lots kind of states of beingtamas, and each state of being has its own life. All that but in laziness there is gathered together in an ill-will, a single bodyrefusal to make an effort—while tamas is inertia: one wants to do something, as long as you have but one can’t. When onehas decided to get up, and acts through a single body; that's what gives you the sense of a single person, a single beingone gets up. But there are many of them" No, and the body was there are in particular concentrations on different planes: just as you have a physical being, you have a vital beinglike that, and it was necessary to put a mental being, a psychic beingwill into it, to push this body for it to get up and many others with all possible intermediaries.act... It's only if you are a very advanced yogi and have been capable of unifying your being around the divine center is like that those beings remain linked together. If you haven't been able to unify yourself, then at the time of death, all that will scatter: every being will go back to its own regionthis is tamas. With the vital being, for example, your various desires will separate and each of them will go and chase its realization quite independently, because there will no longer be Tamas is a physical being purely material thing; it is very rare to hold them together. While if you have united your consciousness to the psychic consciousnessa vital or mental tamas (it may occur but through contagion), when you die you will remain conscious I believe it is more a tamas of your psychic being, and the psychic being will return to nerves or the psychic world which brain than vital or mental tamas. But laziness is a world of blisseverywhere, joy, peace, tranquillity, and growing knowledge.... But if you have lived in your vital and all its impulses, each impulse will try to realize itself here and there....For instance, for the miser who was concentrated on his moneyphysical, when he dies the part of his vital that was concerned with his money will hook on there and will keep watching over , the money so no one takes itmind. People won't see himGenerally lazy people are not always lazy, but he is there nonetheless, and very unhappy if something happens to his dear moneynot in all things.... Now, if If you live exclusively in your physicalpropose something that pleases them, when the physical being disappearsamuses them, you disappear along with it, it's over...they are quite ready to make an effort. There is a spirit of the form: your form has a spirit that lives on for seven days after your deathmuch ill-will in laziness. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/agendacwm/0904/september28-7april-19681951#p21p5,p6,p7,p8</ref>

==Mental=Laziness in the Parts of our Being=

It's trueInertia is mental, vital, physical, we are always too tense—alwayssubconscient. And I know that as long as we are controlled by that admirable mindPhysical inertia can produce mental inertia, mental inertia can produce physical inertia, we feel that to relax means to fall into tamas vital inertia almost always makes the physical lifeless and lustreless and unconsciousness. All these old notions remaindull, prolonging themselves; and there's something like that is inertia. Vital inertia can also infect the residue of one of those marvelous censors, telling you: 'Be careful, tamas, tamas! Be careful, you are dozing off—very badmind, unless the mind is very badstrong and clear.' And it's idiotic, because tamas I have always said that the physical consciousness is neither joyous nor luminous, while this is an immediate joy the main seat and lightsource of inertia. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agendacwsa/0231/septemberdifficulties-of-the-16physical-1961nature#p22p15</ref>

The development through Matter consciousness is on the mind is a constant contrary inert as well as largely subconscious—active only when driven by an energy, otherwise inactive and general awakening of immobile. When one first falls into direct contact with this level, the whole being—even feeling in the most material being—an awakening as a result of which there body is also something that's the opposite of sleep. But to receive the supreme Forceinertia and immobility, what's needed is, on in the contraryvital physical exhaustion or lassitude, in the equivalent physical mind absence of stillness—the stillness of sleep, but an ABSOLUTELY CONSCIOUS sleep, absolutely conscious. The body feels ''prakāś'a'' and ''pravṛtti'' or only the differencemost ordinary thoughts and impulses. It feels the difference took me a long time to such a point thatget down any kind of light or power into this level... for exampleBut when once it is illumined, at night I lie down and I am like the advantage is that, for hours I remain like that, the subconscient becomes conscient and if after this removes a while I drop into ordinary sleep, my body wakes up with a dreadful anguish! Then it slowly goes back to that Statevery fundamental obstacle from the sadhana. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agendacwsa/1028/octoberthe-18physical-1969consciousness#p58p33 </ref> ==Mental==

When Well, when one doesn’t want to make an effort to correct oneself, one first falls into direct contact with this levelsays, “Oh, the feeling in the body it is that of inertia and immobilityimpossible, I can’t do it, in I don’t have the vital physical exhaustion or lassitudestrength, in the physical mind absence I am not made of ''prakāśa'' and ''pravṛtti'' or only that stuff, I don’t have the most ordinary thoughts and impulsesnecessary qualities, I could never do it. ” It took me a long time to get down any kind of light or power into this level. But when once it is illuminedabsolute laziness, the advantage it is that the subconscient becomes conscient and this removes a very fundamental obstacle from in order to avoid the sadhanarequired effort. <ref>httpWhen you are asked to make progress://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-physical-consciousness#p33 </ref><center>~</center>By working out being into these appearances of the ignorance“Oh, it is beyond my capacity, inertia and division of Matter the dividing Mind has lost and imprisoned itself in I am a dungeon of its own buildingpoor creature, I can do nothing!” That’s all. It is bound with chains which it has itself forgedalmost ill-will. And if it be true that the dividing Mind It is the first principle of creationextreme laziness, then it must be also the ultimate attainment possible a refusal to make any effort. One accepts all one’s defects and incapacities in order not to have to make the creationnecessary effort to overcome them. One says, and the mental being struggling vainly with Life and Matter“I am like that, overpowering them only to I can’t be overpowered by them, repeating eternally otherwise!” It is a fruitless cycle must be refusal to let the last and highest word divine Grace work in you. It is a justification of cosmic existenceyour own ill-will. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/2106/the4-knotaugust-of-matter1954#p13p8,p9</ref>

It is only effort, in whatever domain it be—material effort, moral effort, intellectual effort—which creates in the being certain vibrations which enable you to get connected with universal vibrations; and it is this which gives joy. It is effort which pulls you out of inertia; it is effort which makes you receptive to the universal forces. If someone has a strong, active, obstinate vital which rules the body's activities, which has a very living or intense contact with people and things and events, if he has a marked taste for art, for all expressions of beauty, we are generally tempted to say and believe, "Oh! He has a living soul"; but it is not his soul, it is his vital being which is alive and dominates the activities of the body. That is the first difference between someone who is beginning to be developed and those who are still in the inertia and ''tamas '' of the purely material life. This gives, first to the appearance and also to the activity, a kind of vibration, of intensity of vibration, which often creates the impression that this person has a living soul; but it is not that, it is his 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. This confusion between the vital activity and the soul is a very frequent one.... The vital vibration is much more easily perceptible to the human consciousness than the vibration of the soul. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/9-april-1958#p4</ref>

I am referring here to physical sufferingThe body is afraid of anything new because its very base is inertia, because all tamas; it is the other kinds vital which brings in a dominant note of suffering—vitalrajas, mentalactivity. That is why, emotive suffering—arise from as a wrong functioning general rule, the intrusion of the mindvital in the form of ambition, emulation and vanity, compels the body to shake off the tamas and those.make the necessary effort to progress.<ref>http://incarnateword. we can easily rank them in /cwm/16/13-may-1964-1#p3</ref><center>~</center>There are many [''defects of the Falsehood, thatphysical consciousness''s all. But physical suffering is to me like a child being beaten]—but mainly obscurity, because here in Matterinertia, Falsehood turned into ignorancetamas, which means there is no bad will—there is no bad will in Matter, everything is inertia and ignorance: total ignorance a passive acceptance of the Truthplay of wrong forces, inability to change, attachment to habits, ignorance lack of the Originplasticity, forgetfulness, ignorance loss of experiences or realisations gained, unwillingness to accept the PossibilityLight or to follow it, even ignorance of incapacity (through tamas or through attachment or through passive reaction to accustomed forces) to do what needs it admits to be done so as not to suffer materiallythe Right and the Best. <ref>http://incarnateword. This ignorance is everywhere in /cwsa/31/levels-of-the-physical-being#p2</ref><center>~</center>That [''weakness of the cells, and only body''] also is tamas. If you threw off the experience—and strain of the experience idea of whatweakness, the strength would come back. But there is always something in this rudimentary consciousness, the vital physical which is translated as suffering—can awaken, arouse the need to know pleased with becoming more weak and be cured, ill so that it can feel and the aspiration to be transformedlament its tragic case. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agendacwsa/0731/septemberillness-28and-1966health#p19p64</ref>

And A certain inertia, tendency to sleep, indolence, unwillingness or inability to be strong for work or spiritual effort for long at a time, is in that kind the nature of the human physical consciousness. When one goes down into the physical eternity for its change (which lasted two and a half hours—it's that has been the general condition here for a long time for an experience), I was aware of something missing, something not there: this tends to increase. Even sometimes when the joy pressure of the consciousness. Because throughout my life I have developed sadhana on the habit of being conscious of everything, alwaysphysical increases or when one has to go much inside, this temporarily increases—the body either needing more rest or turning the inward movement into a tendency to sleep or be at each secondrest. And …the physical consciousness gets the joy of true peace and calm in the consciousness was not there.

==Psychic=Why Does Laziness Occur?=

The psychic being is a terrestrial formation. It is human beings who have a psychic being which has been developed upon earth and by earthly life Indolence and inaction result in tamas which is a projection of the divine Consciousness fall into Matter to awaken Matter out of its inertia so that it takes the path back to the Divine. But in certain cases inconscience and the true self is found in the psychic being, that is, it dwells in the psychic being—but not always.There is always a divine Presence in the psychic being, but it is the divine Presence which was at the origin very opposite of the psychic formation, it is an emanation from the divine Consciousness; whereas the true self is not a terrestrial formationprogress and light. It precedes the terrestrial formation.<ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwm/0713/30aims-marchand-1955principles#p30p303</ref>

The emergence of As soon as you enter the secret psychic being in us as rajasic nature, you like effort. And at least the leader one advantage of the sacrifice rajasic people is that they are courageous, whereas tamasic people are cowards. It is of the utmost importance; for this inmost being alone can bring with it the full power fear of effort which makes one cowardly. For once you have started, once you have taken the spirit in decision and begun the acteffort, you are interested. It is exactly the soul in same thing which is the symbol. It alone can assurecause of some not liking to learn their lessons, even while not wanting to listen to the spiritual consciousness teacher; it is tamasic, it is incompleteto be asleep, it avoids the effort which must be made in order to catch the perennial freshness thing and sincerity then grasp it and beauty of keep it. It is half-somnolence. So it is the symbol and prevent same thing physically, it from being is a dead form or a corrupted and corrupting magic; it alone can preserve for somnolence of the act its power with its significancebeing, an inertia. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0807/1526-augustjanuary-19561955#p1p19</ref> ==Laziness in Cells==

The cells themselves observed a sort of... it's something between torpor, drowsiness, numbness and indifference; and that state is mistaken for peace, quietude and acceptance, but it really is... it really is a form of tamas. And that's ==In the reason why it may last for what, to our consciousness, is almost an eternity. And there was, as I told you, an experience [a painful attack]; it recurred in another form(it never recurs in the same form), in another form, and then the cells noticed that that sort of intensity, of ardor of will taking hold of them, that something concrete in the self-giving, in the surrender, does not exist when everything is fine (what people are in the habit of calling "everything is fine," which means that you don't feel your body, there is no difficulty and things are just getting along).<ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/07/august-3-1966#p9</ref>Mental==

=Laziness And so one conceals one's laziness behind fine reasons, the first of which says, "I can't, I don't know" or else, "I have tried and not succeeded" or "I don't know where to begin!" Any reason whatever, isn't that true? The first that comes to you. Or else, one doesn't practise because one doesn't find it worthwhile to make the effort—that is part of the laziness also, it asks for too much effort! But one can't live without effort! If one were to refuse to make any effort, one would not even be able to stand on one's legs or walk or even eat. <ref>http://incarnateword.in Relation to Other Aspects=/cwm/08/12-september-1956#p5</ref>

==Depression and LazinessIn the Vital==

When you feel unhappy like that, it means that you have a progress to make. You can say that we always need to progress, it is true. But at times our nature gives its consent to the needed change and then everything goes smoothly, even happily. On the contrary sometimes the part that has to progress refuses to move and clings to its old habits through inertia, ignorance, attachment or desire. Then, under the pressure of the perfecting force, the struggle starts translating itself into unhappiness or revolt or both together.The only remedy is to keep quiet, look within oneself honestly to find out what is wrong and set to work courageously to put it right.The Divine Consciousness will always be there to help you if your endeavour is sincere; and the more sincere your endeavour the more the Divine Consciousness will help and assist you.Periods of obscuration are frequent and common; generally, it is enough to keep quiet without worrying, knowing that these are spiritual nights which alternate with the full light of the days.But to be able to remain in peace you must keep in your heart gratitude towards the Divine for all the help He gives. If gratitude also is veiled, the obscure periods last much longer. There is, however, a swift and effective remedy: it is to keep always burning in your heart the flame of purification, the aspiration for progress, the intensity, the ardour of consecration. This flame is kindled in the heart of all who are sincere; you must not let ingratitude cover it up with its ashes.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/depression#p26</ref>

You must absolutely refuse to be depressed.It is because you are receptive to not anything physical but a vital depression (in some part of the vital, not the Force when you work and whole) that sustains youprevents the body from recovering its elasticity. But when you are not There was some part of the vital that was resisting a radical change and even, unknown to your mind, trying to go on as it was under cover of the strain change in the rest of the work you are less receptiveyour being. You must learn This has now, owing to be receptive in all circumstances this last affair, received a blow and got depressed and always—especially , when you take rest—it must not be the "rest" vital is depressed like that, it affects the body. You say rightly that it is part of inertia but a true rest change or turn that is taking place. But these effects of receptivityinertia and weakness need not continue; as soon as this vital part acquiesces gladly in the turn or change, the elasticity and energy will return. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/1731/9illness-mayand-1967health#p3p67</ref>

The gloom and other difficulties come from a resistance It is an inertia of inertia in the lower vital and physical consciousness. What you have which allows these desires to do come and does not react against the suggestions; it is that also which responds to prepare the consciousness by getting rid pains and suggestion of the inertiaillness. A sattwic gladness and calm and confidence is But you must not accept the proper temperament for this Yoga; gloom, depression suggestion that you cannot react and weeping should not be indulged infree, —the physical consciousness itself cannot as they stand in the way of the openingyet, unless but the tears are the psychic weeping of release or adoration or a moved love will can if it is called on to act and bhaktimade accustomed to act always. The progress made in controlling Not the sex and other rajasic movements of the lower vital is a good preparationstruggling will, but not enough; by itself it is only the negative side, though indispensable. 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 quiet will insisting on the time and labour quietude of preparation necessary before there can be a rapid advance in the Yoga. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/sorrow-mind and-suffering#p12</ref> ==Boredom and Laziness== Boredom is a dullness of the consciousness; vital and if you seek insisting on the cure within yourself, you will see that it immediately dissolves. Most people, when they feel bored, instead rejection of making an effort to rise one step higher in their consciousness, come down one step lower; they come down even lower than they were before and do stupid these adverse things, they make themselves vulgar in the hope of amusing themselves. That is why men intoxicate themselves, spoil their health, deaden their brains. If they had risen instead of falling, they would have made use of this opportunity soon prove sufficient to progress.Sometimes, in certain circumstances, everything seems dull, boring, stupid; this means that you are as boring as hold the ground for the circumstances Peace and it clearly shows that you are not in a state of progress. It is simply a passing wave of boredom, Force to act and nothing is more contrary to they would do the purpose of existencerest. At such a moment you might make an effort and ask yourself, "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/cwmcwsa/1231/tolevels-of-the-students-young-andphysical-oldbeing#p7p2,p5</ref>

=Why Does Laziness Occur?=In the Physical==

That is one A time comes when after a long preparation of the main reasonsmind and vital being, it becomes necessary to open also the physical nature. And so one conceals one's laziness behind fine reasonsBut when that happens, very often the first of vital exaltation which sayscan be very great when the experience is on its own plane, falls away and the obscure, obstructive physical and material consciousness appears in its unrelieved inertia. Inertia, "I can'ttamas, I don't know" or elsestupidity, "I have tried narrowness and not succeeded" or "I don't know where limitation, an inability to begin!" Any reason whateverprogress, isn't that true? The first that comes to you. Or elsedoubt, dullness, dryness, one doesn't practise because one doesn't find it worthwhile to make a constant forgetfulness of the spiritual experiences received are the effort—that is part characteristics of the laziness alsounregenerated physical nature, it asks for too much effort! But one can't live without effort! If one were to refuse to make any effort, one would when that is not pushed by the vital and is not even be able to stand on one's legs or walk or even eatsupported either by the higher mental will and intelligence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0831/12the-lower-septembervital-1956being#p5p35</ref>

To justify one's weaknesses The whole world is in a process of progressive transformation; if you take up the discipline of Yoga, you speed up in yourself this process. The work that would require years in the ordinary course, can be done by Yoga in a kind few days and even in a few hours. But it is your inner consciousness that obeys this accelerating impulse; for the higher parts of your being readily follow the swift and concentrated movement of Yoga and lend themselves more easily to the continuous adjustment and adaptation that it necessitates. The body, on the other hand, is ordinarily dense, inert and apathetic. And if you have in this part something that is not responsive, if there is a resistance here, the reason is that the body is incapable of moving as quickly as the rest of laziness the being. It must take time, it must walk at its own pace as it does in ordinary life. What happens is as when grown-up people walk too fast for children in their company; they have to stop at times and wait till the child who is lagging behind comes up and overtakes them. This divergence between the progress in the inner being and the inertiaof the body often creates a dislocation in the system, and that manifests itself as an illness. This is why people who take up Yoga frequently begin by suffering from some physical discomfort or disorder. That need not happen if they are on their guard and careful. Or if there is a greater and unusual receptivity in the body, then too they escape. But an unmixed receptivity making the physical parts closely follow the pace of the inner transformation is hardly possible, unless the body has already been prepared in the past for the processes of Yoga.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/0603/416-augustjune-19541929#p8p6</ref>

Well, when one doesn’t want to make an effort to correct oneself, one says, “Oh, it is impossible, I can’t do it, I don’t have the strength, I am not made ''Q.Sri Aurobindo speaks of that stuff, I don’t have the necessary qualities, I could never do it.” It is absolute laziness, it is in order to avoid the required effort. When you are asked to make progress: “Oh, it is beyond my capacity, I am a poor creature, I can do nothing!” That’s all. It is almost ill-“the will. It is extreme laziness, a refusal to make any effort. One accepts all one’s defects open and incapacities in order not to have to make the necessary effort to overcome them. One says, “I am like that, I can’t be otherwise!” It is a refusal to let the divine Grace work in you. It is a justification of your own ill-will.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/4-august-1954#p9</ref><center>~</center>Of course there can be a state of happy inertia, but most people don't remain satisfied with that long, they begin to want something else. There are Yogins who are satisfied with a happy calm immobility, but that is because the happiness is a form of Ananda and in the immobility they feel the Self and its eternal calm and want nothing more.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/cheerfulness-and-happiness#p12</ref><center>~</center>And how is it possible to perfect the mind and vital unless plastic the physical is prepared?—for there is such a thing as the mental and vital physical, and mind and vital cannot be said to be perfectly prepared until these are ready.There is always the conflict between the consciousness that is coming into you and the ignorant consciousness that was there beforenature”. The new consciousness is gaining ground always but still against much resistance especially in the vital physical (which is indicated in the stomach attacks). But there is only one way to go and that is to insist always on the Power and Peace which are more and more felt to be always there and more and more dissociate yourself from the other condition. It is on that basis that the right understanding can come. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/levels-of-the-physical-being#p14,p49</ref> =Emergence of Laziness=  ==Illness and Health==''

It can only be remedied by the Force The character is made up of habits and Consciousness from above occupying it clings to them, is disposed to think them the whole physical very law of its beingand it is a hard job to get it to change at all except under a strong pressure of circumstances. <ref>http://incarnateword.Especially in/cwsa/31/illness-and-health#p78</ref>...inertia of the physical consciousnessparts, the body, the physical mind, the physical life movements, while there is this resistance; the right reaction tamasic element in Nature is powerful there, what the lower vital brings on Gita describes as ''aprakāśa'', absence of light, and ''apravṛtti'', a tendency to inertia, inactivity, unwillingness to make an effort and, as a result, even when the contrary effort is made, a sense of peaceconstant readiness to doubt, releaseto despond and despair, quietude which definitely opens the lowest physical parts to give up, renounce the higher consciousness and force.

When individual and the action stage of the Force becomes constant, then there will be no more tamashis progress. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/illness-and-health#p98</ref> ==The Lower Vital Being== A time comes when after a long preparation main difficulty of the mind and vital being, it becomes necessary to open also the physical nature.

These things can only be cured by a persistent bringing down The hold of inertia always increases when the higher spiritual consciousness working comes down into all the parts of physical and subconscient. Before that the inertia is overpowered though not eradicated by the being. <ref>http://incarnateword.action in mind and vital—afterwards it comes up in/cwsa/30/variations-its natural force and has to be met in-the-intensity-of-experience#p18</ref>its own field.

=How The physical’s tendency to inertia is very great; even after the habit of living in the higher consciousness is there, some part may feel the pressure of the inertia—generally the outermost or most material parts. The inertia usually rises up from the subconscient.

'''Tiredness''' shows lack of will for progress. When you feel tired or fatigued that is lack of will for progress. '''Fatigue''' comes from doing without interest the things you do. Whatever you do you can find interest in it, provided you take it as the means of progressing; you must try =How to do better and better what you are doing, the will for progress must always be there and then you take interest in what you do, whatever it is. The most insignificant occupation can prove interesting if you take it that way.But even the most attractive and important activity will soon lose all its interest for you if the will for progress towards an ideal perfection is not there while you act.Cure Laziness?=

''QThe first thing is to reject the idea of helplessness, of impossibility of a successful reaction. The central will must assert itself, not violently in a constant struggle, for that brings reaction, fatigue and inertia, but with a quiet pressure and insistence. What is “physical tamas”?

''A:'' You don’t know that, you don’t? Then, congratulations! For instance, does it The mind must learn (even the physical external mind) never happen to you say yes to the suggestions and impulsions of the old movement or admit any justification for them however plausible or seemingly “true”. However violently they return and insist, they must feel that being seated you don’t want to they will never get up, any essential assent or sanction. You have almost reached that having something to do you saypoint, “Oh! I have to do all that…but it must be made more entire.”

''QThere must be something in the vital itself that insists on its true aspiration and refuses even the vital consent or any vital pleasure in the wrong movements. If they come, they must feel their own fallen, ignorant, merely material brute character. Is This point you seem to be reaching, but it the same thing as laziness?''must be absolute.

''A:'' Not quite. Of courseLastly the physical, laziness is a kind of tamasthe material itself—to insist on the Light, but in laziness the true will there is an ill-willalso. For that, a refusal to make an effort—while tamas is inertia: one wants to do somethingnot indulge the desires, the wrong impulses, the wrong brute feelings that come. Do not admit the idea that you cannot refuse. Throw them out each time they come, but one can’tout of the body into the environmental consciousness till they can finally be pushed away from there also.

Indolence All that Sri Aurobindo says here [There is no more benumbing error than to mistake a stage for the goal or to linger too long in a resting place. From Thoughts and inaction result Aphorisms]is aimed at fighting against human nature with its inertia, its heaviness, laziness, easy satisfactions, hostility to all effort. How many times in tamas which is life does one meet people who become pacifists because they are afraid to fight, who long for rest before they have earned it, who are satisfied with a fall into inconscience and the very opposite of little progress and light. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/13/aims-their imagination anddesires make it into a marvellous realisation so as to justify their stopping half-principles#p301</ref>way.

=How In ordinary life, already, this happens so much. Indeed, this is the bourgeois ideal, which has deadened mankind and made man into what he is now: “Work while you are young, accumulate wealth, honour, position; be provident, have a little foresight, put something by, lay up a capital, become an official—so that later when you are forty you “can sit down”, enjoy your income and later your pension and, as they say, enjoy a well-earned rest.”—To sit down, to Cure Laziness?=stop on the way, not to move forward, to go to sleep, to go downhill towards the grave before one’s time, cease to live the purpose of life—to sit down!

If it It is laziness only the psychic that keeps you back fromknows how to surrender and the psychic is usually very much veiled in the beginning. When the psychic awakes, sayit can bring a sudden and true surrender of the whole being, doing for the difficulty of the rest is rapidly dealt with and disappears.

Tamas is a purely material The only thing; it is very rare not to have a vital or mental tamas (it may occur but through contagion), I believe it overdo it—that is more a tamas of the nerves or the brain than vital to avoid any exhaustion or mental tamas. But laziness is everywhere, in the physical, the vital, the mind. Generally lazy people are not always lazy, not in all things.

It is selfishness that makes one jealous; it is weakness that makes one lazy.In either case the only truly effective remedy is conscious union with the Divine..for everyone all is Indeed, as well soon as it can one becomes conscious of the Divine and is united with Him, one learns to love with the true love: the love ''that loves for the joy of loving'' and has no need to be. It's always loved in return; one also learns to draw Force from the inexhaustible source and one knows by experience that by using this Force in the service of the old movements Divine one receives from Him all that get impatientone has spent and much more....

When I lie down to rest my body the soul draws towards the Divine, there may be a resistance in the mind and work without moving (work with an activity the common form of that doesn't force is denial and doubt—which may create mental and vital suffering. There may again be a resistance in the vital nature whose principal character is desire and the body attachment to move)the objects of desire, as soon as and if in this field there is conflict between the slightest... not exactly "fallsoul and the vital nature," but between the Divine Attraction and the slightest descent towards pull of the InconscientIgnorance, something in then obviously there may be much suffering of the body immediately gives mind and vital parts. The physical consciousness also may offer a start—instantly.

Whatever the path we may follow, the subject we may study, we always reach the same result. The peace and spontaneous knowledge are in the psychic being and from there they spread most important thing for an individual is to mind unify himself around his divine center; that way he becomes a real individual, master of himself and vital and physicalof his destiny. It Otherwise, he is a plaything of the forces, which toss him about like a cork in the outer physical consciousness that the difficulty still tries a stream. He goes where he doesn't want to persist and brings the restlessness sometimes into the physical mind, sometimes into the nervesis made to do what he doesn't want to, sometimes and finally he gets lost in the shape of bodily trouble into the bodya hole without any way to stop himself doing so. But all these things can and must go. Even if you are consciously organized, unified around the illnesses can go entirely with the growth of peace divine center, governed and power in led by it, you are the nerves and physical cells—stomach pains, weakness master of the eyes and everything elseyour destiny. <ref>httpshttp://incarnateword.in/cwsaagenda/3109/levels-of-theseptember-physical7-being1968#p60p20</ref>

It is The peace and spontaneous knowledge are in the psychic that connected you with the Mother being and turned all the movements of your being towards her or drew them from her or made them united with and dependent on her. It had so done with all your mental there they spread to mind and vital being and its movements and it had guarded you against all wrong mental and vital suggestions and attacks, showing you what was true and what was falsephysical. Now it It is this psychic being which has manifested again in your the outer physical consciousness also. You have only that the difficulty still tries to live in that persist and your whole being will be turned towards brings the restlessness sometimes into the physical mind, sometimes into the Mothernerves, remain sometimes in union with her the shape of bodily trouble into the body. But all these things can and be protected from doubt and error and false suggestion—and you must go.

The habit of return of these feelings belongs to the physical consciousness and in his physical consciousness the human being is always weak and unable to get rid of or resist its habitual movements. There are three things that help him to do so (apart from his mental will which is not always strong enough to do it). There is first the psychic being; for a few days your psychic was extremely active and pushing these movements away whenever they tried to come or throwing them out soon when they got in. being… This activity of the psychic will return and eventually come down into the physical consciousness itself; then there will be very little difficulty. The second is the inner consciousness always awake. At present that is difficult, because to keep the inner consciousness awake at all times can only come by a deepening of yourself so that the veil between the outer and inner which lifts only in concentration may cease to exist even when one is in the ordinary unconcentrated condition. It is for this deepening that the strong tendency to go inside comes upon you. Lastly, the Mother’s force always there and receiving also a response at once from the physical consciousness. These three things together can do anything. It takes time to make them all three constantly active together, but that is sure to come and with them these inner difficulties will disappear. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/levels-of-the-physical-being#p63</ref><center>~</center>The being is here on the physical plane although in touch with the mental and vital.

By doing every day a harmonised process mental exercise of the spiritreading, organisation and development.

==Through Union with the DivinePhysical==

When the soul draws towards the Divine, there may be a resistance in the mind and the common form of that is denial and doubt—which may create mental and vital suffering. There may again It must be a resistance in the vital nature whose principal character is desire and the attachment to the objects of desire, and if in this field there is conflict between the soul and the vital nature, between the Divine Attraction and the pull tamas of the Ignorance, then obviously there may be much suffering of the mind and vital parts. The physical consciousness also may offer a resistance which is usually that of a fundamental inertia, an obscurity in has enveloped the very stuff of the physical, an incomprehension, an inability to respond to the higher inner consciousness, a habit of helplessly responding to the lower mechanically, even when it does not want to do so; both vital and physical suffering may be the consequence. There are two ways The one way to meet all that—first that get out of the Self, calm, equality, a spirit, a will, a mind, a vital, a physical consciousness that remain resolutely turned towards the Divine and unshaken by all suggestion of doubt, desire, attachment, depression, sorrow, pain, inertia. This it is possible when the inner being awakens, when one becomes conscious of the Self, of the inner mind, the inner vital, the inner physical, for that can more easily attune itself to the divine Will, remain very quiet inwardly and then there is a division in the being as if there were two beings, one within, calm, strong, equal, unperturbed, a channel of call down persistently the Divine Consciousness and Force, one without, still encroached on by the lower Nature; but then the disturbances of the latter become something superficial which are no more than an outer ripple,—until these under the inner pressure fade and sink away and the outer being too remains calm, concentrated, unattackable… from above. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/resistancesdifficulties-sufferingsof-the-andphysical-fallsnature#p7p37</ref>

The work that would require years in the ordinary course, can be done by Yoga in a few days and even in a few hours. But it is your inner consciousness that obeys this accelerating impulse; for the higher parts of your being readily follow the swift and concentrated movement obstinacy of Yoga and lend themselves more easily to the continuous adjustment and adaptation that it necessitatesthese things. The body, on the other hand, is ordinarily dense, inert and apathetic. And if you have only thing to do in this part something that is not responsive, if there is a resistance here, the reason is that the body is incapable of moving as quickly as the rest of the being. It must take time, it must walk at its own pace as it does in ordinary life. What happens unpleasant phase is as when grown-up people walk too fast for children in their company; they have to stop at times and wait till be more obstinate than the child who is lagging behind comes up physical inertia and overtakes them. This divergence between the progress to persist in the inner being and the inertia of the body often creates a dislocation in the system, and that manifests itself as an illness. This is why people who take up Yoga frequently begin by suffering from some physical discomfort or disorder. That neednot happen if they are on their guard and careful. Or if there is fixed endeavour—steady persistency without any restless struggle—to get a greater wide and unusual receptivity permanent opening made even in the body, then too they escape. But an unmixed receptivity making the physical parts closely follow the pace of the inner transformation is hardly possible, unless the body has already been prepared in the past for the processes this solid rock of Yogaobstruction. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0331/16the-transformation-of-junethe-1929physical#p6p32</ref>

There are many varying conditions in which you may meditate The physical sadhana is to bring down the higher light and all have their effect upon the forces brought in or brought down power and on their working. If you sit alone, it is your own inner peace and outer condition that matters. If you sit with othersAnanda into the body consciousness, to get rid of the general condition is inertia of primary importance. But in either case the conditions will always vary and physical, the forces that answer will never be twice the same. A united concentration rightly done can be a great force. There is an old saying that if twelve sincere persons unite their will and their aspiration and call the Divinedoubts, limitations, external tendency of the Divine is bound to manifest. But the will must be one-pointedphysical mind, the aspiration sincere. For those who make defective energies of the attempt can be united in inertia or even in mistaken or perverse desire, vital physical (nerves) and the result is then likely to be disastrous. <ref>http://incarnateword.bring in/cwm/03/23-june-1929#p22</ref> ==Through instead the Divine Force== It is a Force true consciousness there so that comes and pushes to work and is as legitimately a part of the spiritual life as others. It is physical may be a special Energy that takes hold of perfect instrument for the worker in the being and fulfils itself through him. To work with a full energy like this in one is quite salutary. The only thing is not to overdo it—that is to avoid any exhaustion or recoil to a fatigued inertia.

But also it often happens even The difficulty of the physical nature comes inevitably in the ordinary course of Yoga that physical strength is replaced by a Yogic strength or Yogic life force which keeps up the body and makes it workdevelopment of the sadhana. Its obstruction, its inertia, but in the its absence of this force aspiration or movement have to show themselves before they can be got rid of—otherwise it will always remain undetected, hampering even the body is denuded of power, inert best sadhana and tamasicpreventing its completeness. This can only be remedied by coming up of the physical nature lasts longer or less according to the whole being opening circumstances, but there is none who does not go through it. What is necessary is not to Yoga shakti in each of its planes—Yogic mind forceget troubled or anxious or impatient, Yogic life forcefor that only makes it last more, Yogic body force. <ref>http://incarnateword.but to put entire confidence in/cwsa/29/the-divine-force-Mother and quietly persist in-work#p26</ref> Subconsient faith, patience and Integral Yoga:steady will for the complete change. It is only if you live wholly and dynamically in so that the inner being and feel the outer as a quite superficial thing that you Mother's force can get rid of the obstruction or minimise it until the transformation of best work in the outer being can be made complete. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/thedifficulties-subconscient-andof-the-integralphysical-yoganature#p7p6</ref>

These [vital But for the physical being and physical weaknesses] are symptoms and feelings that can easily come in the period when consciousness to be ready to receive the subconscient is being dealt with—tamasdivine impulsion, agethey must be extremely plastic, decaybecause the vital uses coercion, illnessit imposes its will, deathand the poor body has but to obey, weaknesswhile the Divine just shows the light, inertiagives the consciousness, the mechanical play (as if the inevitable round and so one must obey consciously and willingly—it is a question of collaboration, it is no longer a machine) question of coercion. The physical being and physical consciousness must be very plastic to be able to lend themselves to all the lower vital have their seeds in the subconscient necessary changes, so as to be of one kind one day and when another the subconscient rises up in its native powernext, these threaten to rise with themand so on. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3104/the-subconscient-and-the28-integralapril-yoga1951#p52p12</ref>

=Types of Physical Consciousness==In Sleep===

There are many [defects of The rest must not be one which goes down into the physical consciousness]—but mainly obscurity, inertia, inconscience and tamas, a passive acceptance of . The rest must be an ascent into the play of wrong forcesLight, inability to changeinto perfect Peace, attachment to habitstotal Silence, lack a rest which rises up out of plasticity, forgetfulness, loss of experiences or realisations gained, unwillingness to accept the Light or to follow darkness. Then itis true rest, incapacity (through tamas or through attachment or through passive reaction to accustomed forces) to do what it admits to be the Right and the Best.It a rest which is an inertia of the physical consciousness which allows these desires to come and does not react against the suggestions; it is that also which responds to the pains and suggestion of illnessascent. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/07/31/levels-of-the-physicalaugust-being1955#p2p19</ref>

Is …in the material state an emptiness of ordinary consciousness, or is it not rather only a sleep of consciousness—even though from in the point general ordinary life, rest means tamas. Rest means falling back into Inertia. So then, instead of view of evolution an original a rest that benefits you, it’s a rest that stupefies you and not an intermediate sleep? And by sleep then you have to make effort once more to recapture the human example teaches us that we mean not a suspension of consciousness, but its gathering inward away from conscious physical response to you have lost. That’s how the impacts vast majority of external thingspeople sleep. <ref>httpBut now, the lesson is different://incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/conscious-when I lie down to rest my body and work without moving (work with an activity that doesn’t force#p14</ref> ==How the body to Cure Physical Consciousness?== A quiet will insisting on move), as soon as there is the quietude of slightest… not exactly “fall,” but the slightest descent towards the mind and vital and insisting on Inconscient, something in the rejection of these adverse thingsbody immediately gives a start—instantly. That would soon prove sufficient to hold the ground It has been like that for the Peace a long time, two years, but now it’s instantaneous, and Force to act it very rarely happens—there is true rest, which is an expansion and they would do immensity of the restbeing in full Light. It’s magnificent. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsaagenda/3107/levels-of-themarch-physical26-being1966#p5p12</ref>

Work is a means of self-dedication You must learn to the Divine, but it must be done with the necessary inner consciousness receptive in which the lower vital all circumstances and physical always—especially when you take rest—it must also share.A lazy body is certainly not a proper instrument for Yoga, it must stop being lazy. But a fatigued and unwilling body also cannot receive properly or be the "rest" of inertia but a good instrument. The proper thing is to avoid either extremetrue rest of receptivity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3117/levels-of-the9-physicalmay-being1967#p49p3</ref>

A strong mind and Fundamentally, the sole purpose of sleep is to enable the body and life-force are needed in the sadhana. Especially steps should be taken to throw out tamas and bring strength and force into assimilate the frame effect of the nature.There is always some tendency to looseness, forgetfulness and inattention in trance so that the physical consciousness. One has to effect may be very vigilant received everywhere, and careful to prevent this tendency having its way.It is an inertia of enable the physical consciousness which allows these desires body to come and does not react against the suggestions; it is that also which responds to the pains and suggestion do its natural nocturnal function of illnesseliminating toxins. But And when you must wake up, there is not accept the suggestion that you cannot react and be free,—the physical consciousness itself cannot as yet, but the will can if it is called on to act and made accustomed to act always. Not the struggling will, but a quiet will insisting on the quietude trace of heaviness which comes from sleep: the mind and vital and insisting on the rejection effect of these adverse things. That would soon prove sufficient to hold the ground for the Peace and Force to act and they would do the resttrance continues.It is something Even for those who have never been in the vital part of the physical consciousness which has not yet understood—it feels the pressure to changetrance, yet it is drawn outward good to people or things repeat a mantra, a word, a prayer before going into sleep. But there must be a life in the old waywords; I do not mean an intellectual significance, but is dissatisfied because the growth nothing of the new consciousness behind prevents it taking pleasure in them, so that it remains restlesskind, not understanding anythingbut a vibration. What it has got And quietly you let yourself go, as though you wanted to learn is that it must fall quiet and open go to a new consciousness from above sleep. The body vibrates more and within. This part of the being is obscuremore,—not sufficiently mentalised to understand thingsmore and more, it acts from instinctmore and more, impulse and habit onlyaway you go. When its old instincts, impulses and habits are checked, it does not know what to do or what That is demanded of it. But after a certain amount of pressure from the mind and will it can be got to consent to a change of its wayscure for tamas. <ref>httpshttp://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3115/levels4-ofjune-the-physical-being1960#p15,p49p6</ref>

=Causes of Laziness/Inertia or the Physical NatureRecommended Practices=

The difficulty of the physical nature comes inevitably Whatever you do you can find interest in it, provided you take it as the course means of progressing; you must try to do better and better what you are doing, the development of the sadhana. Its obstruction, its inertia, its absence of aspiration or movement have to show themselves before they can be got rid of—otherwise it will for progress must always remain undetected, hampering even the best sadhana be there and preventing its completeness. This coming up of the physical nature lasts longer or less according to the circumstancesthen you take interest in what you do, but there whatever it is none who does not go through . The most insignificant occupation can prove interesting if you take itthat way.What is necessary is not to get troubled or anxious or impatient, for that only makes it last more, but to put entire confidence in But even the Mother most attractive and quietly persist in faith, patience and steady important activity will soon lose all its interest for you if the complete change. It will for progress towards an ideal perfection is so that the Mother's force can best work in the beingnot there while you act. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3114/difficultieslaziness-of-thetiredness-physicalfatigue-naturetamas#p6,p7</ref>

It [the nature Take no notice of the obstruction of the physical consciousness] depends it and go on with your programme as usual. It is the weak points quickest way of the individual and the stage getting rid of his progress. The main difficulty of the physical consciousness is that it is incapable, before it is transformed, of maintaining any tension of tapasya—it wants periods of assimilation, sinking back into the ordinary consciousness to rest,—also there is a constant forgetfulness of what has been done etc. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3114/difficultieslaziness-of-thetiredness-physicalfatigue-naturetamas#p8p9</ref>

Inertia is mentalYou must exert your consciousness, your will, vitalyour force, physicalgather your energy, subconscientshake yourself a little and whip yourself and say: “Hup! Hup! forward, march. Physical inertia can produce mental inertia”If it is laziness that keeps you back from, mental inertia can produce physical inertiasay, vital inertia almost always makes doing the physical lifeless vaulting, you must immediately do something much more tiring and lustreless and dullsay: "Well, and you don't want to do that is inertia. Vital inertia can also infect ? All right, you are going to do 1500 metres running!" Or else: "I don't want to do the mindweight-lifting today, I don't feel like doing it: good, unless the mind is very strong and clear. I have always said that the physical consciousness is the main seat and source of inertiashall do skipping 4000 times at a stretch. " <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3105/difficulties-of-the24-physicaljune-nature1953#p15p22</ref>

The hold There is only one way of inertia always increases when acting truly,it is to try at each moment, each second, in each movement to express only the working comes down into highest truth one can perceive, and at the physical same time know that this perception has to be progressive and subconscient.The inertia usually rises up from that what seems to you the subconscient. It does not abolish the higher consciousness in the physicalmost true now will no longer be so tomorrow, but dulls its action or else brings it down from and that a higher truth will have to be expressed more and more through you. This leaves no room any longer for sleeping in a lower levelcomfortable tamas; one must be always awake—I am not speaking of physical sleep—one must be always awake, ealways conscious and always full of an enlightened receptivity and of goodwill.g. from To want always the intuition to best, always the higher mind or from best, always the higher best and never tell oneself, “Oh! It is tiring! Let me rest, let me relax! Ah, I am going to the lower ranges of overmind. For some time it resists the completeness of the siddhi. It stop making an effort”; then one is only when the most material sure to fall into a hole immediately and the subconscient and the environmental consciousness are quite liberated that this retarding or lowering effect of the primal Inertia is entirely overcome. make a big stupid blunder! <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/07/31/difficulties-of-the-physicalaugust-nature1955#p17p18</ref>

The one way For the inertia the remedy is not to get out of absorb yourself in thoughts about it is , but to remain very quiet inwardly turn upwards and call down persistently the Light and Force from aboveto come into it. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/difficultieswrong-movements-of-the-physical-naturevital#p37p46</ref> ==Detachment== When the Force is there at work, the imperfections and weaknesses of the nature will necessarily arise for change, but one need not fight with them; one can look on them quietly as a surface instrumentation that has to be changed. It is not with “indifference” that one has to look at them, for that might mean inertia, a want of will or push or necessity to change; it is rather with detachment. Detachment means that one stands back from them, does not identify oneself with them or get upset or troubled because they are there, but rather looks on them as something foreign to one's true consciousness and true self, rejects them and calls in the Mother's Force into these movements to eliminate them and bring the true consciousness and its movements there. The firm will of rejection must be there, the pressure to get rid of them, but not any wrestling or struggle. <centerref>~http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/descent-and-the-lower-nature#p12</centerref> ==Hatha Yoga== The power of physical immobility is as important in Hathayoga as the power of mental immobility in the Yoga of knowledge…...for the immobility of the Asana is to get rid of the restlessness imposed on the body and to force it to hold the Pranic energy instead of dissipating and squandering it. The experience in the practice of Asana is not that will only make things worse of a cessation and diminution of energy by inertia, but of a great increase, inpouring, circulation of force. The body, accustomed to work off superfluous energy by movement, is at first ill able to bear this increase and this retained inner action and betrays it by violent tremblings; afterwards it habituates itself and, when the tamasAsana is conquered, drynessthen it finds as much ease in the posture, dullnesshowever originally difficult or unusual to it, inertiaas in its easiest attitudes sedentary or recumbent. It becomes increasingly capable of holding whatever amount of increased vital energy is brought to bear upon it without needing to spill it out in movement,—but and this increase is so enormous as to recognise seem illimitable, so that there the body of the perfected Hathayogin is here an element capable of feats of endurance, force, unfatigued expenditure of energy of which the universal Nature reflected in yours which you must eliminatenormal physical powers of man at their highest would be incapable. And For it is not only able to hold and retain this can only be done by more energy, but to bear its possession of the physical system and its more surrender complete movement through it. The life energy, thus occupying and aspiration operating in a powerful, unified movement on the tranquil and by so bringing in passive body, freed from beyond the vital restless balancing between the continent power and the mind contained, becomes a much greater and more effective force. In fact, it seems then rather to contain and possess and use the divine peacebody than to be contained, lightpossessed and used by it, power —just as the restless active mind seems to seize on and use irregularly and presence. This imperfectly whatever spiritual force comes into it, but the tranquillised mind is the only way towards the transformation held, possessed and fulfilment of used by the physical naturespiritual force. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3123/the-lower-vital-beinghathayoga#p35p8</ref>

==How to Cure the Difficulties of Physical Nature?=Gunas=

The first thing is to reject three forms of consciousness are the idea three sides of helplessness, of impossibility Nature represented by the three gunas—force of a successful reaction. The central will must assert itselfsubconscious tamas, not violently in a constant struggleInertia, for that brings reaction, fatigue and inertia, but with a quiet pressure and insistence.The mind must learn (even which is the physical external mind) never to say yes to the suggestions and impulsions law of the old movement or admit any justification for them however plausible or seemingly “true”. However violently they return and insistMatter, they must feel that they will never get any essential assent or sanction. You have almost reached that pointforce of half-conscious desire, but it must be made more entire.There must be something in the vital itself that insists on its true aspiration and refuses even the vital consent or any vital pleasure in the wrong movements. If they comeKinesis, they must feel their own fallenwhich is rajas, ignorant, merely material brute character. This point you seem to be reaching, but it must be absolute.Lastly which is the physicallaw of Life, the material itself—to insist on the Lightforce of sattwic Prakasha, which is the true will there also. For that, do not indulge the desires, the wrong impulses, the wrong brute feelings that come. Do not admit the idea that you cannot refuse. Throw them out each time they come, out law of the body into the environmental consciousness till they can finally be pushed away from there also. For it is these that now separate you in the physical consciousness from the MotherIntelligence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3128/difficultiesthe-of-thesankhya-physicalyoga-naturesystem#p2p16</ref>

This difficulty has to be faced The three gunas become purified and overcome by an equal perseverance in refined and changed into their divine equivalents: sattwa becomes ''jyotiḥ'', the will of the sadhak. It is a steady flame that must burnauthentic spiritual light; rajas becomes ''tapas'', as steady as the obstruction is obstinate. Do not therefore be discouraged by the persistence of the obstruction of the ignorance. The persistence of your own will to conquer with the Mothertranquilly intense divine force; tamas becomes ''śama''s force supporting it will come to , the end of the resistancedivine quiet, rest, peace. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3128/difficulties-ofthe-thesankhya-physicalyoga-naturesystem#p46p37</ref>

What is important for you in these circumstances is Tamas and rajas disappear only when the higher consciousness not only comes down but controls everything down to make your faith, surrender the cells of the body. They then change into the divine rest and peace and samata absolutethe divine energy or Tapas; finally sattwa also changes into the divine Light. That As for remaining quiet when tamas is as great and essential there, there can also be a progress as to have high experiences, etctamasic quiet. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3128/difficultiesthe-ofsankhya-theyoga-physical-naturesystem#p52p38</ref> =Transformation of Physical: Why is it the Need of the Hour?=

...here Of course there can be a state of happy inertia or incapacity (apravṛtti), obscurity or forgetfulness (aprakāśa)but most people don't remain satisfied with that long, it is in order they begin to get set rightwant something else. There are Yogins who are satisfied with a happy calm immobility,—it has come up for but that is because the happiness is a first or preliminary transformation.

The only thing churning of Matter by the attempt of the human intellect to do conquer material Nature and use it for its purposes may break something in this unpleasant phase the passivity and inertia, but it is done for material ends, in a rajasic spirit, with a denial of spirituality as its mental basis. Such an attempt may end, seems to be more obstinate than ending indeed in chaos and a disintegration, while the physical inertia new attempts at creation and reintegration seem to persist in combine the obscure rigidity of material Nature with a resurgence of the barbaric brutality and violence of a fixed endeavour—steady persistency without any restless struggle—to get half animal vital Nature. How are the spiritual Forces to deal with all that or make use of such a wide churning of the energies of the material universe? The way of the Spirit is the way of peace and permanent opening made even in this solid rock light and harmony; if it has to battle it is precisely because of the presence of obstructionsuch forces which seek either to extinguish or to pervert the spiritual light. In the spiritual change inertia has to be replaced by the divine peace and calm, the rajasic troubled energy by a tranquil and potent, pure and liberated dynamis, while the mind must be kept plastic for the workings of a higher Light of Knowledge… <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3128/thespiritual-transformationevolution-ofand-the-physicalsupramental#p31p6</ref>
