A Path to Destruction

The Flowers Of Guidance Volume One Laziness vs. Persistence in Working

Because of this unemployment and idleness, which is almost always a direct result of indolence and sloth, the person will spiral downward. This downfall is because the spirit and body are both disturbed and doleful. We have seen before and will continue to see how unemployed and idle individuals lose their health. We have seen before and will continue to see how their well-being is damaged and how most will soon move towards early spiritual promotion (sudden death).

Humankind needs to work until their last day of life, according to their physical status, power and strengths. Those who proceed towards unemployment and idleness once they are retired, as well as those who do not continue their activity and work as much as they can, will soon find themselves in pain and weakness and will become feeble and withered. Their faces will become rough and wrinkled, they will become low-spirited, hopeless and upset, and this will move them towards death at a higher rate. We may see this in retired people around us.
