Kama, krodha, moha, lobha and ahankhara

Om Shanti,

kama, krodha, moha, lobha and ahankara are the five vices.

Body-consciousness

The Sikh religion is based on five vices and five virtues. In reality, kama (lust) arise when you see beautiful and shining things. This is why people in my village always say, "not all that glitters is gold". When you get what you want, to get it will bring ahankara to you the (ego). When you do not get or when you lose what you got, then greed starts. Greed is (lobha). Moha is when it is hard to reach. Krodha is rage that happens to a loser.

Soul-conciousness is simple.

You have contentment, you will display humility, you will display shanti, you will radiate love, you will display santosha (happiness).

When you have too much body conciousness then you will display or hide sorrow, when you have too much soul conciousness you will radiate or display shanti and love.

Om Shanti

The Sikh religion is based on five vices and five virtues

It interests me. "5 vices and 5 virtues" was how we were taught by the Brahma-kumaris. (Also 5 male vices and 5 female vices).

I picked up that the idea of the Maryadas came from the Sikh religion. Is this is another element taken from the Sikh influence? I was told by one of he Seniors that as individuals from other religions joined the group, Lekhraj Kirpalani included elements of their religion in the teachings and note reference to Guru Nanak in the Murlis.

I like the Sikh religion. Good thing is, they mind their own business. And in India, you do not see many Sikh beggars.

Sikhs fought Islam tooth and nail when they tried to invade India. But you see Sikhs never had any religious riots with Islam. They live peacefully along with Islam. Where as Islam was never nice to Sikhs.

Om Shanti
