Kill that laziness!

Please understand, laziness and tamas (inertia) is the basic ambience required for patterns to get built. For the tree to grow, certain basic ambience is required - for example, the water should neither be cold nor too hot, the soil should be right. Same way, for patterns to grow in you, the laziness and a certain kind of giving-up mood is a pre-requisite. When you constantly perform, by the very nature you will not build patterns. Man of intense action does not allow patterns to grow.
I give my respect and my credibility to Zen monasteries for keeping the enlightenment science alive. This is because Zen monasteries do not allow the laziness to settle in them. There was never a laziness allowed in their lifestyle. In Zen monasteries, even the pontiffs, the heads of the monasteries, will not eat if they haven't contributed that day to the monastery. Means, if they are not working, they will not be eating! The day they can't work, they stop eating, so that in few days they will leave the body. They will not allow the ambience of laziness to happen, because it creates a highly cunning space where all sorts of patterns can grow. Please understand, intense action breaks all the patterns and all the natural temperaments. Performance of intense action constantly evolves your system to new-new possibilities, new-new realities.
