Enjoying aloneness is perfectly right
but enjoying laziness
is not right.
Laziness is a negative state
One should be overflowing with energy.
One should be at ease,
but not lazy.
One should be relaxed,
but not lazy.
Laziness and easiness look so alike
that it is very easy to misunderstand
which is which.
If you are enjoying your aloneness,
it cannot be laziness
because laziness always feels a certain guilt,
a certain feeling
that "I am doing something that I should not be doing,"
that "I am not participating in existence."
Laziness means you have
dropped out of the creativity
of the universe
you are standing aside
while the universe goes on
creating
day in, day out
You are misunderstanding.
laziness for easiness.
My whole teaching is
take everything
with absolute relaxation,
with ease.
Whether you are doing something or not, that is not the point.
You must be overflowing with energy
even when you are not doing anything.
These trees are not doing anything,
but they are overflowing with energy.
You can see that in their flowers, in their colors, in their greenery, in their freshness,
in their absolute naked beauty
in the sunlight,
in the dark night under the stars.
Life
is not a tension
anywhere except in the minds of humanity.
To take life
with ease, without any tension,
without any hurry
that is not laziness ,
that is easiness.
