Meaning: According to the Rigved 8/2/18 and Atharvaved 20/18/3 "Lazy People Al ways Get Sorrow", therefore all of us must be dedicated to work and be industrious.
Message: Laziness is the real enemy of man, because it leads us on to the path of sin. Under the influence of lethargy and laziness we get trapped in many sinful acts. Sometimes man gives up extremely beneficial plans after starting work only because of laziness, becomes disappointed because others have defeated him and remains deprived of personal benefits. God also does not love lazy and lethargic persons. His love is for lively, industrious and diligent people.
The entire world is based on sacrifice. Here everyone has to offer, at all times sacrifice in the form of his labor. This is the essential meaning of dedication to one's duty. That work is called auspicious which helps in uplifting, bettering and purifying the world. God cautions, makes a person stumble and even punishes those who are lazy about labor and lazy about being industrious. We should always be alert and involved in diligent labor. No work should be neglected or despised by considering it small. Most people are trapped in this foolishness. It inflates their ego and thereby destroys their capability. A Karmayogi is that person who is continuously busy in auspicious work without any selfish or personal motive. Most of us have great desire "to do something" but we do nothing. A man cannot be dedicated without proper control over his senses, times and wealth. Thus he strays from the main path and becomes unsuccessful and unhappy. Those who keep their senses under control, put their time to good use, do not waste their money are always prosperous. Real spiritual endeavor (or spiritual discipline) is to be dedicated to work by discarding laziness. Then only one can get the love of God.
There are several standards of measure for the upliftment of man as well as nation. These essential qualities are called "daivy sampada" (divine wealth) in the holy Bhagwat Gita. These are life's values, which have the capacity of making human life worthwhile.
All the great men of this world have with unlimited diligence and dedication given every moment of their lives for the uplift of the society. Ramakrishna Paramhans, Maharshi Dayananda, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Ramtirth, Lokmanya Tilak, Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Hedgewar - in the lives of all these people we find a glimpse of their excellent industriousness. Had anyone of them wasted even a moment of their lives in laziness? for them the basic axiom of "aaram haraam ho" (rest is unwarranted) is their be-all in life. By making such people as our ideals, we can achieve success in this world.
Our duty is to throw our laziness and also liberate others from this demon.
