Krodth ?

[Hammertime007]

With Sikhs being invloved in many battles, and various confflict in our time, how did Sikhs control Krodth (Anger)

Surely in battle there is anger, its only natrual ? As there is dislike of your enemy.

Any takers on this ?

Kam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh, and Hankaar these are 5 vices. As a Sikh, you need to avoid these things. Krodh is anger and generally there is anger when we were fighting our enemy. But, we cannot assume that there was anger when Sikhs were fighting in battles back in the day. Also let's not forget that Anger causes a person to lose their control and focus. But, if we look at history we can see that Sikhs generally fought in battles with less numbers than the enemy. It shows that we were extremely organized and also as Gursikhs they had HELP from AKAL PURKH 'Khalsa Akal Purkh Ki Fauj'. Sikhs did not fight in battles with anger, rather they fought in the battle because they were fighting for justice. All the Mughal/Hindu rulers back in the day, would suppress other people, in order to enforce their ideals/views. Since, it is duty of a Sikh to raise it's sword against the tyrant government. For Example, Once in battle, when Bhai Ghainiya Ji was distributing water in the battle, he was even providing water to the enemy as well. And when Sikhs complained about this Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Guru Ji said that he has realized that everybody is the same, 'Manas Ki Jaat, Sabey Ikeey Paechenbo' and Guru Ji gave Bhai Ghainiya Ji medicine to apply to the wounds of the wounded. This shows that we did not fight to kill somebody out of anger, rather we were fighting for justice.

I hope this answers your question.

Adding to this, there is a difference between anger and ferocity. The Sikhs may have fought furiously, meaning with great determination and vigor, but they were not mad.
