When Boredom comes, it is the time during which discovery is to be made. That is the time during which real effort (purushartha) can be made. But instead, people push it aside.

About This Quote

In the quote above, Vachaspati said that boredom is a rare situation that comes when we least expect it. If we wish to make a good use of this rare opportunity, we should not procrastinate. We should take advantage of this opportunity to try new things. If we do nothing, then nothing will change.

We would remain the same people who stay in the same place all their lives. However, if we act decisively and try out different things, then our lives will be changed for the better. If you can push aside your laziness and work instead on your effort, then you will come out of boredom as a better person than before.
