Srila Prabhupada is known for saying that temples aren't places for
"lazies and crazies." This is a quote from the Narada Bhakti Sutra,
"And Srila Prabhupada was also stern, cautioning his followers, 'An
easy-going life and Krsna consciousness go ill together.' " Another
quote we have heard is this. "There are three types of people: those
who make things happen; those who watch things happen; and those who
wonder, 'what happened?'" Laziness can be in the form of mental
laziness, and although "lazy intelligence" is sometimes glorified, it
doesn't mean "laziness." Thinkers are at least mentally alert. Devotees
are active in devotional service.
