TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION

The worker who is always engaged in work against the injunctions of the scripture, who is materialistic, obstinate, cheating and expert in insulting others, and who is lazy, always morose and procrastinating is said to be a worker in the mode of ignorance.

Se dice que el trabajador que siempre está ocupado en el trabajo que va en contra de los mandatos de las escrituras, que es materialista, obstinado, embustero y experto en insultar a los demás, que es perezoso, siempre está malhumorado y moroso, es un trabajador en la modalidad de la ignorancia.

PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO

In the scriptural injunctions we ﬁnd what sort of work should be performed and what sort of work should not be performed. Those who do not care for those injunctions engage in work not to be done, and such persons are generally materialistic. They work according to the modes of nature, not according to the injunctions of the scripture. Such workers are not very gentle, and generally they are always cunning and expert in insulting others. They are very lazy; even though they have some duty, they do not do it properly, and they put it aside to be done later on. Therefore they appear to be morose. They procrastinate; anything which can be done in an hour they drag on for years. Such workers are situated in the mode of ignorance.
