Something interesting that I came across:
The Law of Least Effort
This law is based on the fact that nature’s intelligence functions with effortless ease and abandoned carefreeness. This is the principle of least action, of no resistance. This is, therefore, the principle of harmony and love. When we learn this lesson from nature, we easily fulfill our desires.
In Vedic Science, the age-old philosophy of India, this principle is known as the principle of economy of effort, or “do less and accomplish more.” Ultimately, you come to the state where you do nothing and accomplish everything. This means that there is just a faint idea, and then the manifestation of the idea comes about effortlessly. What is commonly called a “miracle” is actually an expression of the Law of Least Effort.
Least effort is expended when your actions are motivated by love, because nature is held together by the energy of love. When you seek power and control over other people, you waste energy. When you seek money or power for the sake of the ego, you spend energy chasing the illusion of happiness instead of enjoying happiness in the moment. When your actions are motivated by love, your energy multiplies and accumulates–and the surplus energy you gather and enjoy can be channeled to create anything that you want, including unlimited wealth.
There are three components to the Law of Least Effort–three things you can do to put this principle of “do less and accomplish more” into action.
The first component is acceptance. Acceptance simply means that you make a commitment: “Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances and events as they occur.” This means I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be.
The second component is responsibility. This means not blaming anyone or anything for your situation, including yourself. This allows you the ability to have a creative response to the situation as it is now. All problems contain the seeds of opportunity, and this awareness allows you to take the moment and transform it to a better situation or thing.
The third component to the Law of Least Effort is defenselessness. This means that you have relinquished the need to convince or persuade others of your point of view. If you relinquish this need you will in that relinquishment gain access to enormous amounts of energy that have been previously wasted.”

Truly a
convenient law for the lazies. Cheers!
该法则基于这样一个事实,那就是自然的智慧工作起来轻松自如,无忧无虑。这就是“无为”和不对抗原则,因而,也就是和谐和与爱心原则。等我们学会了大自然的这一课,我们就能轻而易举地实现自己的愿望。
在古老的印度吠陀文化中,这个法则即为省力的准则,即“付出最少收获最多”。最终,你会达到什么都不做却拥有一切的境界。也就是说,先有一个微弱的想法,然后这个想法不费吹灰之力地表现出来。通常我们所说的“奇迹”就是以最省力法则的形式表现出来的。
出于爱而去做的事情最省劲,因为大自然是靠爱的能量聚集起来的。当你谋求权力和企图控制别人时,你就是在浪费能量。为了“自己”的一己之利而谋取金钱和权力,无异于将自己的精力耗费在不享受此刻的幸福而去追逐幸福的幻影上。纯粹为了个人的利益而去谋取金钱,等于切断了你的能量来源,而且妨碍了大自然智慧的表现。但是,当你的行为是因为爱心使然时,就不存在能量的浪费了。行为由爱心驱动时,你的能量就会增加并不断地得到积攒----你所积累和享有的富裕精力,可以用来创造包括无尽财富在内的任何你想要的东西。
最省劲法则包含三个成分:
第一是顺受。顺受就是说,你要做出这样一个承诺:“今天,无论碰上什么样的人、情况、处境和事件,是什么样就是什么样,我都将顺受。”这就意味着,你要明白此刻本来就该是这样,因为整个宇宙就是它该是的样子。此刻---你正在经历的这一刻---是你过去所经历过的所有时刻的顶点。存在就是合理,此刻就是它实际上的样子,因为整个宇宙就是它实际上的样子。
第二是责任。责任意味着不因为你现在的情况----包括你自己----而怨天尤人。顺受了这个处境、这个事件、这个问题之后,责任则意味着对目前这样一个情况的创造性的应对能力。所有问题里都蕴涵着机遇的种子,而这样的意识容许你接受此刻并把它变成一个更有利的情况,或者更好的事情。
第三是不做辩护,意思是说你的意识是建立在不做辩护之上的,摈除说服或者劝说别人相信你的观点的欲望。观察一下身边的人,你就会发现,他们把99%的时间都用在了为自己的观点做辩护上。如果你摈除了为自己的观点辩护的欲望,那么在这个摈除欲望的过程中,你就会将以前浪费掉的大量精力找回来。
对懒人来说,确实是个很好的法则。加油!
