Source: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaĀlasyadhurīṇa (आलस्यधुरीण) refers to the “supremely lazy man” (i.e., that man of self-realization who is completely inactive), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] It is because of effort that everyone is in pain, but no-one realises it. By just this simple instruction, the lucky one attains tranquility. Happiness belongs to no-one but that supremely lazy man (ālasyadhurīṇa) [tasyālasyadhurīṇasya sukhaṃ nā'nyasya kasyacit] for whom even opening and closing his eyes is a bother. [...]”.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
