Ask Osho!

How can one find a path through laziness?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Transmute your inertia into surrender; when the urge to work is absent, become a devotee and accept whatever comes as God's will."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the way through laziness is not to force activity but to discern your swadharma and transmute inertia into surrender. If the urge to work is absent, become a devotee: weep, sit silently, accept whatever comes as God’s will—“Thy will be done.” If energy arises, act resolutely as a yogi. Aligning with one’s nature opens the gate.
If you feel too lazy to act, gently hand everything to God and trust what happens—and when energy comes, do your best with full heart.
Why this matters practically
- Converts guilt and stuckness into peaceful trust.
- Offers two workable modes: surrender when low, resolve when energized.
- Aligns decisions with your true nature, reducing fear and confusion.
