Only those who are lazy and whose muscles are inactive, suffer from the
inability to concentrate. It means that the mind also is becoming
frozen.ranam

An anecdote in brooding over: "The Goal Of Life Is Laziness(edited
for clarity)19 October 1975, Johannesburg, South Africa
Indian man: Don't you think the people (in South Africa) are lazy? Prabhupada:
Why aren't you lazy here? It is the government's policy or government's
management. You see? To become lazy is the recommendation of the *shastra*.
"Lazy" has become a bad word, but actually real life means to not work very
hard. Working hard (only) for eating means animal life, not human life.
Human life should be very peaceful - without any hard work - for
cultivating spiritual knowledge. Not working hard like hogs and dogs all
day just to find some stool. That isn't human life. People are being
educated to work very hard. That isn't human life. Therefore those who have
money build a nice bungalow in a secluded place to live peacefully - to
become lazy. Is it not?
Indian man: Yes. Prabhupada: Perfection of life means ultimately you become
lazy; you haven't got to work. That is perfection, they say. Otherwise why
live in a cottage in a secluded place? On weekends, Americans leave aside
all working. They become tired from all their hard working, and they go.
The intention is to live a peaceful life, and not work very hard. That is
human life. Otherwise, why go outside the city on the weekend? Why?
Indian man: They want rest, I suppose. They want rest. Prabhupada: That
means lazy.
Indian man: No. . . Prabhupada: Yes. Rest means lazy; you don't work.
Indian man: If one works five days a week, you rest for two... Prabhupada:
That is another thing. You have to work to become lazy. (laughter) That is
another thing. But the *goal* is to become lazy. You work five days very
hard just to become lazy for two days. That's all. But if you have the
means to become lazy seven days a week, you'll prefer it.
Pusta Krishna: But I think most people would go crazy if they didn't have
any work.
Prabhupada: No, that means their life is not properly conducted. Therefore
the word "laziness" has come (into use). "Laziness" is not actually the
word. Laziness means minimizing bodily labor and engaging in spiritual
work. If you ask people, "Please come to our temple," who is coming? Most
people say, "I have no time." But we're not working hard.
There are (four) classifications: "Lazy intelligent, busy intelligent, lazy
fool, and busy fool." So at the present moment (laughs) the whole world is
full of busy fools. But the first-class man is "lazy intelligent." The
second-class man is "busy intelligent." Third class means "lazy fool" and
fourth class means "busy fool."
Nowadays people are busy but they're fools - like monkeys. A monkey is very
busy. You see? People prefer to be a generation of monkeys, busy fools. A
fool, when he is busy, is simply creating havoc. A lazy fool is better
because he will not create so much harm, but a busy fool will simply create
harm. And a first class-man is lazy intelligent. He knows the value of
life. He's thinking soberly. Just like, you will find, all our great
saintly persons. They were living in the forest, (performing) meditation,
tapasya (austerity), and writing books. All lazy intelligent. They are
first-class men.
Indian man: Not like the monkey, jumping from one ... Prabhupada: What is
the value of a busy fool? He is a fool, and he is busy. Nowadays, education
is for making busy fools. That's all.
Indian man: What about the busy intelligent? How does he behave? Prabhupada:
Busy intelligent means at least there is some meaning to whatever he is
doing. Lazy intelligent means to be doing higher things. Lazy intelligent
means *brahmana*, and busy intelligent means *kshatriya*. *Shastra* says,
"There is no use of becoming busy for your food. Food is there already."
Food is already there. He'll get his food. That is arranged by God. But
(most people) are busy fools. They don't understand God's arrangement.
They're busy, day and night, like cats and dogs, only for food.
So much land is there. Everyone, if he works for two months, can grow his
whole year's foodstuff. There is so much land. But no, they'll not grow
food. They will grow hammers. They will manufacture tire tubes, atom bombs,
then this and that. They are busy fools. They are fools, and they are very
busy. Everyone is busy. There are so many parts in the motorcar, three
thousand parts, and they're busy manufacturing three thousand motorcar
parts. Everyone is busy producing unwanted things, and they've created a
society in such a way that they have to do that.
Indian man: Otherwise they think that they not economically
progressing. Prabhupada:
What is that "economical progressing?" That means busy fool. Fools don't
know how to satisfy the economic problem. That is recommended in the
Bhagavad-gita, *annad bhavanti bhutani*: [Bg. 3.14]
<http://vedabase.com/en/bg/3/14>"You grow food grains." Then all economic
questions (are answered). But why aren't you producing food grains? Why you
are producing iron stools and instruments and motors and tires and
collecting petrol far away from Arabia? Krishna never says, "You do all
this nonsense." He said, "Grow food grains." Why don't you do that? That
means fools. After all, you have to eat. But you're not busy growing your
food; you're busy producing tire tubes, motor cars, stools and instruments.
So how you will get your food? Where is your "economic progressing?" Your
first economic necessity is that you must eat. KR IRS 21722
