Om Swami

Why do I feel sluggish and lazy after indulging in comfort and food?

Indulgence breeds sluggishness

Eating and drinking does not make a person content; it makes them sluggish. Pleasure that binds you at the start brings you to nidra, alasya and pramad: sleep, laziness and negligence.

But the difficulty is that a person who eats and drinks does not become carefree but sluggish. If eating and drinking could make us content, there would be no real need for Ishwar.
