It is described how in spiritual life that everything is there; the desire trees of bhakti are producing unlimited fruits but there is only one thing- we have to pick the fruits! The mind feels, 'phew! So much work, so much work! It is too difficult, it is so high and even the lower branches...I have to stretch...' So laziness is a problem that we are experiencing in our spiritual practices. It is not that spiritual life is so difficult but it is that we are so lazy! When we are lazy everything is difficult- 'do I really have to move my leg and get up from the bed? It's so difficult! It's soooo heavy!' So we tend to make spiritual life in our mind more diificult than it is. But actually it's easy...
