''Q. What is “physical tamas”?

''A:'' You don’t know that, you don’t? Then, congratulations! For instance, 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….”

''Q. Is it the same thing as laziness?''

''A:'' Not quite. Of course, laziness is a kind of tamas, but in laziness there is an ill-will, a refusal to make an effort—while tamas is inertia: one wants to do something, but one can’t. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/28-april-1951#p5</ref>
