Hi, I read BG, it had no verses pertaining to procrastination , maybe because it was in regards to Arjuna. I was wondering maybe Bhagavatam might have some verses. If you know anything about this please post here or guide me to the verse :) , i appreciate any help i can get.

 

Cheers------

Can we handle the truth? Not me. I'm not ready for the truth - maybe tomorrow [bG 18.28]:

ayuktaH prAkRtaH stabdhaH

zaTho naiSkRtiko 'lasaH

viSAdI dIrgha-sUtrI ca

kartA tAmasa ucyate

</center>

ayuktaH--not referring to the scriptural injunctions; prAkRtaH--materialistic; stabdhaH--obstinate; zaThaH--deceitful; naiSkRtikaH--expert in insulting others; alasaH--lazy; viSAdI--morose; dIrgha-sUtrI--procrastinating; ca--also; kartA--worker; tAmasaH--in the mode of ignorance; ucyate--is said to be.

The worker who is always engaged in work against the injunctions of the scripture, who is materialistic, obstinate, cheating and expert in insulting others, and who is lazy, always morose and procrastinating is said to be a worker in the mode of ignorance.

 

PURPORT

 

In the scriptural injunctions we find what sort of work should be performed and what sort of work should not be performed. Those who do not care for those injunctions engage in work not to be done, and such persons are generally materialistic. They work according to the modes of nature, not according to the injunctions of the scripture. Such workers are not very gentle, and generally they are always cunning and expert in insulting others. They are very lazy; even though they have some duty, they do not do it properly, and they put it aside to be done later on. Therefore they appear to be morose.
They procrastinate; anything which can be done in an hour they drag on for years. Such workers are situated in the mode of ignorance
