MAYA...

Kaam Krodh Lobh Moh Hankaar

Come on man, the guy has to be greedy if he's rich. So yeah, Maya

[Khalsa4ever]

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo jee kee Fateh!

Thats a pretty big sterotype... I know several people who are not greedy and by the grace of Waheguroo are "rich".

Its like any temptation, its always there... but if you can overcome it, its not a problem anymore :umm:

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

ANSWER: Being pAkhandee to satisfy ones OWN needs, rather than those of HUMANKIND on the WHOLE.

This can be likened to breaking off in2 factions. Why does this happen? simply MAYAA! Das can only speak for myslef, but i don't fall 4 shaytaangi dat easily! Looks may be deceiving. Those that are 'white' on the outside are often 'mael de bhaRiO pae' and have twisted 'organization' CAPE-a-bill-iT. :LOLz:robbing sangat. But I'm not worrying @ the mo...coz I've been sitting up saavdhaan all yesterday and tonight + am just about to do ishnaan, hopefully some NAAM abhyaas and then MIN. 5 baaniyan da Nitnem.

SEWA (esp PANTHIK is SELF-LESS). True sevadaars do not call 4 recognition or titles or even allign themselves with particular parties. Gandhi politics is often involved with marble establishments which DO actually erode with koaRda ACID rain. Brahmin-math can equate to swallowing one's own poison, such as issues on caste, REHAT over KES and EQUALITY SEEN in Amritdharee Bibiaan. A truly beautiful woman is not 1 who 'makes-up' as she does not put on a farce and knows what REAL 'Nishkaam' Seva(K)iS re:! i.e. NOT the bloody maya de malik nosey GOI agents. In ur face- u farty farces! (I smell a skunky pong...of the black n white ANIMAL. puke.)

GURMUKHS smell the sweetness of NAAM like honey-bees buzzing Wah-e-gurrrrooooo, Wahegurrrrrooooooooo.....not ridiculing the repetition of Akaal Purakh and a Nirmal reputation in GOD'S i.e. not fake society's eyes.

Shame on these 'peace'-lovers. Sikhs should remember that they are only successful with Sangat's asees, not by advertizing to get a following via revengeful means of media. Not everybody's blind to corruptness. SO BEWARE :umm: :compress: U idiots are only revealing ur OWN weaknesses- so take a good look in the mirror (unless ur afraid it'll crack 2 easily)

Dis daas is a Gurbaani lover. Who's up for the REAL recital??? That'd be the proper AKALI utilizing the TAKHAT of Dhur Kee Baani 2 spread the msg of TRUTH in a sacrificial (NB not superficial!) EARNEST SEWA. As wrought as IRON, not plasticy/takky!

Waheguru Ji Ka KHALSA! :nihungsmile: Waheguru Ji Ki FATEHH!!

So, have u got a tried + tested method of 'overcoming' this temptation that's 'always' there?

NB u seem to be referring to @rich@ in MAYAA terms...not NAAM. If a Gursikh has aslee piaar NAAM will not be a 'temptation' but the very 'breath of life'. Waheguru Gurmantar, not worldly currency, is what makes a GURMUKH Richie Rich.

That sustenance makes 1 a KHALSA 4eva.

The definitions of such words are far deeper than u may realize!

Living in Fear (of losing his riches)

Sant Maskeen ji once said that When wealth comes to a person, it makes him crazy and when it leaves it leaves with a slap in the face.

There's nothing 2 B afraid of...

...just ...

+ ALL will B taken care of!

Reminds me of when I was waiting at Amritsar airport ALONE with my luggage next to the STD stand. This nice Taksali Singh from Singh Sabha Bradford Gurdwara kept me good company on the flight but then quickly left to go 2 his pind. So I was left 'stranded' surrounded by police'men' (there were loads of them around since VIPs were expected). Thus, I just did paath of this shabad mainly (+ moolmantar/ Gurmantar simran) mu-javani..

It was still a gr8 relief when I spotted the Satnam Trust sevadaar in his nice clean while kurta pajama and black gatra on top. Vah! Gursikhaa(n) de DARSHAN is sumthing extra special man! :nihungsmile: Amritdharees take on the roop of Guru Gobind Singh Jee themselves. Aren't we blessed!?!

:umm:

Waheguru Ji Ka KHALSA! Waheguru Ji Ki FATEH!!

P.S. Although I had 2 wait like absolutely 'ages', the roads had been sweeped in preparation for the poloitical guests...so the rikhsaA ride was less dusty (but the pong in som places was not very pleasant at all. I just covered my airways off with my chuni. (My big bro said I looked like a Ninja just B4 I left !) I still got an aroma of the Indian/ Punjabi culture though- rich and poor areas alike. My mum said- that's India 4 Ju!

Oh...and has anyone seen Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (the cartoon) which was made in2 a movie with the same title but NINJA replaced 'hero' 4 sum reason! :..:
