According to Osho, “lazy” is a relative label: to workaholics almost everyone seems lazy, yet true laziness simply means non-mischievous non-doing—refusing unnecessary fuss, interference, and restless conquest. The lazy person, like Diogenes, lives simply, harms no one, and doesn’t chase egoic ambitions. Such idleness can be wisdom, saving the world from the hyperactive mischief of compulsive doers.
A lazy person, to Osho, doesn’t fuss or chase needless things, lives simply, and therefore doesn’t hurt anyone.
