How to be free from laziness in Kṛṣṇa consciousness?

Jayapatākā Swami: Interesting question.
Our tendency is just to neglect our spiritual life.
But naturally we know that the human life
is very short
and that is with little opportunity.
And one moment that goes by,
we cannot get back
even for crores of rupees or millions of dollars or pounds.
So naturally, we would like to utilize
all the energy and resources
and be able to achieve success in this life.
If we think how much we are indebted to guru and Kṛṣṇa,
then naturally we would like to repay our debt.
So where is the time for laziness?
Being born in Nepal, this is a great opportunity
to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and be Kṛṣṇa conscious.
You see on the news how they have different coup d’etat in Africa,
in Latin America
and other places.
So you are very fortunate to be in Nepal.
Why take a chance to be born in hellish places?

How to overcome lethargy and laziness

We don’t want to be lazy or lethargic.
We don’t want to miss this chance.
If you do nice devotional service,
but you have material desires,
you may end up in the heavenly planets,
be there for a long time,
hundreds of thousands of years.
You will miss the Golden Age,
and then come back in the worst part of Kali-yuga or after.
So, no time to be lazy.
You have to finish your business while you have the chance.
