How can there be a path through laziness?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Even laziness can be a path if it is your true nature; embrace it authentically, for only truth leads to truth."
According to Osho, even laziness can be a path—if it is your true nature. Spiritual growth begins from authenticity: only truth leads to truth. The genuinely lazy can let rest, sleep, and non-doing become a doorway to receptivity. But if you are naturally active, choose the path of action—work joyfully and offer your doing to the Divine; forced idleness breeds misery.
If you're really lazy, rest with awareness; if you're not, act with joy and offer your work to something higher.
