=How is it different from Fatigue, Tiredness and Tamas?=
 
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>

Fatigue comes from doing without interest the things you do. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/laziness-tiredness-fatigue-tamas#p5</ref>

''Q. What is “physical tamas”?''
''A:'' … 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.
When one has decided to get up, one gets up." No, the body was there, like that, and it was necessary to put a will into it, to push this body for it to get up and act. It is like that, this is tamas. Tamas is a purely material thing; it is very rare to have a vital or mental tamas (it may occur but through contagion), I believe it is more a tamas of the nerves or the brain than vital 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. If you propose something that pleases them, amuses them, they are quite ready to make an effort. There is much ill-will in laziness. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/28-april-1951#p5,p6,p7,p8</ref>
