=Why does Laziness Occur?=
When one doesn’t practice or try to make oneself better in every aspect of life, it gives rise to laziness. The moment one is satisfied with the results and stops making any changes or progress and starts getting used to the same routine is where the laziness appears.
“Oh, it is impossible, I can’t do it, I don’t have the strength, I am not made of that stuff, I don’t have the necessary qualities, I could never do it.” It is absolute laziness…
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>
Sometimes when there is weakness in the body, it could also result in creating tamas if the weakness is not thrown off by being strong enough to combat the illness. To avoid the physical to going back to the state of tamas it is only by becoming conscious and taking action against the force. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/illness-and-health#p98</ref>
Laziness is also seen emerging from the lower vital being when it gives way to doubt, dullness, tamas, stupidity, forgetfulness, narrowness, etc. when it is not supported by the higher will and intelligence, it is important to open the physical nature. It can only be done by bringing the spiritual consciousness into all parts of being.
