Laziness is a major obstacle.
It is also not what we commonly think it is either.
We think laziness is lying on the couch watching TV drinking and eating unhealthy food.
Its not really that, although it can manifest that way.
Laziness is all about avoiding spiritual work or work and it has many guises.
Being overly active, distracted, full of excuses, talking and talking, negative habits, being sleepy, defeatism, pride: you work I'm a prince/princess etc. etc.

The remedy to laziness is faith.
When we take a leap of faith and invest some effort to practice we get an result. We then measure the result and find that practicing gives results, then we believe or have faith in the teachings and our ability, then that faith naturally turns to confidence then that confidence turns to diligence, because we know that working will give results.
You see all those diligent and industrious people in the world they believe in what they do. Whether it be material or spiritual results they have faith in that their efforts convert to results.

Well, he has a sort of a friendly dopey smile, I’ll give him that but I don’t know about cute. Cute is what you can pick up or give a hug to. I’m not sure you would want give one of those things a hug. A baby bird yes but one of those things - don’t know.
DeleteHe might be super affectionate and cuddly? Just not as fortunate looking as a koala.
ReplyDeleteHe could be, as long as he keeps those long nails to himself. To a tree at least he seems that way - affectionate and cuddly. I wonder if he is involuting or evoluting, being so ugly, a sleep junkie and the symbol of laziness - he's got the odds slightly against him. Imagine he is a transition state going from a tree to an animal or the reverse. Who knows right?
ReplyDelete�� That could be so. Well, their guru deva would. Adding it to the list of questions for guru devas.����
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely their guru deva would know. I believe the guru knows the future/destiny of its disciples. All these secrets of nature, why the existence of this species and of that one? They must all have a reason for being.
ReplyDeleteAll the animals transform energies and transmit them to the earth. Each species captures a different kind or type of energy, some from the cosmos, some from the earth, some from trees, some from minerals and some from human beings even.
ReplyDeleteTHat's very Interesting :)
