Premanand Maharaj Ji
How do I overcome laziness?
Laziness grows from tamoguna
Sleep, laziness and pramad (careless delay) are born of tamoguna, the mode of dullness. Chanting the Name brings sattvaguna and pushes tamoguna back, and sattvic food, sattvic company and sattvic thoughts destroy pramad.
Sleep, laziness and pramad (careless delay) are called tamasic. When tamoguna is strong in a person's body, he falls into this state of pramad.
