Relaxation vs Laziness In karniyametta sutta, Lord Buddha advised us to be relaxed and not to cling to the work.

How can I recognise relaxation from laziness ?
Well, if you can't recognize the difference it is laziness.

Relaxation is samadhi: the collection of mind around an object of meditation.

When we speak of conventional relaxation, what we really mean is letting the defilements do whatever they want to the mind.
