Description

Acharya Prashant clarifies that what is commonly perceived as laziness is often internal mental activity, whereas true 'divine laziness' is the supreme virtue of total internal stillness. He uses the metaphor of a fan to explain that external movement is only possible when the center remains still. This state of inaction within action is the essence of the Atman, which acts as a witness without being the doer. One achieves this by acting without concern for results or future profits, thereby remaining a 'winner' who has lost all miseries.
