The Three Types of Inattention

Pramada means madness but inattention and carelessness are  also  synonyms  of  this  word. Inattentive chanting sows the seeds  of anarthas which soon develop in the heart. Inattention is of  three  kinds.
The  first  is  called Audasinya or apathetic devotional  service  meaning a lack of fixed resolve in sadhana.
The  second type is Jadya - laziness or even inertia.
The third kind  is  Viskepa  which means distraction or misplacing one's attention in engagements other than sadhana bhakti.
