What happens when I embrace aloneness and laziness?

Embrace aloneness as a nourishing solitude, but beware of laziness, for it is a retreat from the vibrant creativity of existence. Be relaxed yet overflowing with energy, participating in life with grace and ease.

— Osho
According to Osho, enjoying aloneness is perfectly right—it nourishes you—but enjoying laziness is a mistake. Laziness is a negative, guilty dropout from existence’s creativity. Don’t confuse it with ease. His teaching: be utterly relaxed yet overflowing with energy, like trees—at ease whether active or still—participating in life without tension or hurry.

Being happily alone is good; being lazy makes you feel guilty and cut off—so relax like a calm, lively tree, full of energy even when you’re not doing anything.
