Aldashi la jagacha tatvagnyan

This is a marathi saying that my dad used to scold us with every time we slack on something and try a shortcut. The saying means that a lazy person has the knowledge of the world. In one sense it gives a usefulness to laziness which is always treated as a bad habit. But aren't human beings inherently lazy? It is our want of comfort that pushes us to use brains more and reduce he use of hands. Agree that too much of laziness if bad. It should not make you shut your brains too. One should be lazy but not content.
