Laziness The obstacle that stands in our way is ourselves. What keeps us from being diligent, from having enthusiasm to take action in a heroic way, is our own mind, our own ego. And the primary definition of this aspect of ourselves is laziness. We tend to say this word, laziness. But do not think that laziness is just lying on the couch. Laziness has many faces. If we read in Santidevas Bodhicharyavatara, he says, What is joyful perseverance [this paramita]? It is zestful vigor for being constructive. Its opposing factors are explained as lethargy-clinging to what is negative or petty-and being discouraged, or disparaging oneself. These are all forms of laziness, the laziness of the consciousness, lazy consciousness.
