Im just wondering, say if someone commits one of the 5 evils, but also follows the 5 virtues..is it the same as commiting all 5 evils and not following any virtues?

thx, WJKK WJKF

waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh!

5 evils, panj chor(lust(kaam), anger(krodh), greed(lobh), attachement(moh), pride(hankaar))

Is this what you are referring to as 5 evils?

If so, then brother, it is hard for anybody to say that they are free from these 5 evils. In one's home, in one's family,

outside in the street, in your estate in your city wherever you go it is easy to see the panj chor have almost total power in

this world. I say almost because gursikhs, those rare people, the ones who follow dhan, dhan, guru granth sahib ji and obey

the hukams of guru ji, the 5 evils drop at their feet, the 5 evils become the slaves of those individuals.

Only by reading and understanding gurbani can we recognise and then fight the 5 chor. Where else is this vital information contained, i have only found this in guru granth sahib ji.

I don't think you can 'commit' the 5 evils as you say but rather I think you can indulge or get absorbed in these evils. We need to keep the 5 evil evils under control as best we can.

How?

Read and do paath of gurbani, this is definitely the best medicine to cure the disease of panj chor.

The less we indulge in panj chor, the less we are attached to worldly things and the more we obey the bachans(commandents) of guru sahib then

the more virtuous we will become. By reading paath, keeping rehit and doing naam simran we will automatically and easily obtain the 5 virtues:-

Sat(Truth), Santokh(Contentment), Daya(Compassion), Nimrata(Humility), Pyar(Love).

I think all of us have committed mistakes and fallen down on this path but that is due to our own weaknesses. Remember whatever virtues we have

we must retain those virtues.

Don't return to bad habits just because we make one mistake. One mistake doesn't mean we become demons. Let's analyse our weakness, what is the source of our weakness and with the aid of gurbani we can eliminate this weakness from our lives. The shabad(gurbani) is the weapon we can use to destroy panj chor. Let's use it!

May Guru Ji bless us with his kirpa(mercy) so we become virtuous!

Stay in Chardi Kala!

Dhan, Dhan, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji!

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!!

I dont think its as clear cut as simply saying you follow all or some of the 5 virtues or fail on some of the 5 vices either. Its not an exact science to say that doing 'a certain thing' can be classed under a certain vice.

Mistakes are there to be made, everyone does them..... However its more important that we learn from them. By making these mistakes and learning from them it determines the type of character we become in the future. Its scary where your mind takes you sometimes, but if your human instinct tell you its wrong, then I guess your half way there. You recognise somethings wrong, and you try to stop doing/thinking it.

Its difficult for anybody in this life to be free from the panj chor, but with the strength of Bani you can certainly work towards it.

Not sure if that all makes sense now reading it over lol

Hope it helps.

Can you describe more on attachment. I mean, are we not to be able to love some one or something?

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
