Work continously
Work is essential for all worldly and spiritual attainment. Without effort, nothing is gained. Laziness is a form of hiding, pretending to meditate to avoid duty. True practice requires active work on body, speech, mind, and behavior. Speak words that bring peace to yourself and others. This harmonizes your energy and purifies your inner tendencies. Without personal effort, one only envies others and loses what little they have. Through dedicated work, one achieves dharma, artha, kāma, and mokṣa. Your work itself is the highest worship.
"Without work, nothing is attained in this world."
"The name of God is work itself. Your work is worship."
