As per the verse 5 from 3rd chapter of Shrimadbhagwatgeeta “ Every person is bound to act in response to acquired characteristics of nature. No one can live or survive for a moment without performing a work”.
Increasing tendency of idleness matters of great concern for me because it not only adversely affects the personality of a person but also the great human resource of the nation. We can realize any our dream by realizing some productive work. We can achieve the height of every success if we remain in action constantly. The great civilizations we read about and the great human achievements we witness in Science and technology, all are the result of work and perspiration of numberless human beings who burnt midnight oil when others were sleeping. A an idler dissipates his life ,all his vitality goes and he remains only a lump of barren clay in which nothing can grow. Every object in nature from the tiniest bird to mightiest sun is always doing its home work. That’s why everything in nature always appears fresh and new. The sun and moon rise every day without any delay. When they rise, they bring with them a breach of freshness and newness.
Witness of many historical events is enough to tell us that idleness is the root cause of unhappiness and ill health. The timid person are afraid to begin anything or achieving anything as idleness makes them shirkers and paralyses man’s faculties. They always expect someone else to do everything for them. A nawab ofOudh failed to save his life only because there was no one to tie the laces of his shoes.
There are several reasons for inculcating the idleness in person some important among are as follows.
1:- The chief reason of being idle is the desire to get everything without doing anything or making any efforts. The person who does not realize the importance of work some of them are so placed that they can do without doing work. But as the time advances, they begin feeling the pages of boredom.
2:- Improper parenting is one of the major causes of inculcating idleness among person. Some parents overprotect the child and provide all the available facilities to them even they are providing the separate servant/maid for all kinds of work like providing water, tea and food at bed. Some mothers are so conscious about their child that they don’t allow the child to do any physical labour only in fear of getting injury. Such kinds of protection by the parents make them idle and shirker.
3:- Every person wants to get maximum favourable results with very little efforts or even without any efforts by using a number of short cut method and unfair means. If the parents are using such kinds of practices, the child observes very minutely the acts of the parents and imitates the same that resulted in idleness.
4:- Improper diet also plays a vital role as the spicy and fat rich diet makes the person lazy and sluggish. Continuous use of such food may also lead to obesity and lethargic behaviour too.
5:- Interrupted and disturbed Daily routine of the family person including the late night bed-time, delayed rising and meals at odd time also disturbs the biological clock of the person that affects the hormonal disturbance and ultimately leads to idleness among youth.
Each person possesses a great talent and tremendous potential that remains useless if they are allowed to remain dormant and not to put any useful purpose.
In the VIII shloka of 3rd chapter of Shrimad Bhagwatgeeta importance of work is emphasized as “Always do your assigned work because doing work is far better than not to perform the duties. Even the livelihood will not be possible without doing work”
