Lord Krishna teaches us in
Lord Krishna teaches us in Bhagavad Gita Verse 3.8 that laziness is one of the biggest enemies on the spiritual path. For one's spiritual progress and internal purification, physical work performed in an attitude of duty is very beneficial until the mind and intellect reach a state where they are absorbed in God-consciousness. Hence, the Vedas prescribe duties for humans, to help them discipline their mind and senses.

------------------------------------------------------
Laziness is the greatest enemy of humans and is especially pernicious since it resides in their own body. Work is their most trustworthy friend and is a guarantee against downfall. Even the basic bodily activities like eating, bathing, and maintaining proper health require work. These obligatory actions are called nitya karm. To neglect these basic maintenance activities is not a sign of progress, but an indication of slothfulness, leading to emaciation and weakness of both body and mind. On the other hand, a cared for and nourished body is a positive adjunct on the road to spirituality. Thus, the state of being lazy does not lend itself either to material or spiritual achievement. For the spiritual progress of our own soul, we should embrace the duties that help elevate and purify our mind and intellect.

नियतं कुरु कर्म त्वं कर्म ज्यायो ह्यकर्मण: |
शरीरयात्रापि च ते न प्रसिद्ध्येदकर्मण: || 8||
niyatam kuru karma tvam karma jyayo hyakarmanah
sharira-yatrapi cha te na prasiddhyed akarmanah
