This is the 13th article in the series Khalsa Mero Roop Hai Khaas

(Who is a Khalsa?), started in Apr 2008.

Lobh (Greed), Moh (Emotional Attachment), andHankaar (Egoism)

Jaswant Singh

Lobh GreedThe human being is afflicted with various desires, expectations, and cravings in his mind. Out of these

ardent desires is born Lobh (greed). Greed, in psychology, is an excessive desire to acquire or possessmore than what one needs or deserves, especially with respect to material wealth. Generally, it is con-sidered as an excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of money, wealth or power. The most common

explanation is that the greedy person values money or possessions more than anything else.

Describing greed and its effect on human beings, Sri Guru Granth Sahib describes:O greed! Even the great cling to you, and behave abnormally engrossed in the waves of avarice. Thepeople run around wildly, wavering unsteadily. You have no respect even for friends, ideals, relations,or parents. You make them to do what they should not do, to eat what they should not eat, and to per-

form what they should not perform. 1

Greed makes a man crazy. Exposing the craziness of a greedy person it is described in Gurbani,as a mad dog runs around in all directions, a greedy person doesnt understand, he consumes every-

thing, edible and non-edible alike. Do not trust a greedy person, if you can avoid doing so. Eventuallyhe will lead you there, where no one willbe able to save you.2

The world is burning in the fire of desire. There is greed, arrogance and a lot of ego.3Desire, born out of spiritual ignorance, burns this body. He alone puts this fire out, who lives by the

Guru's Word.4

Therefore a Sikh earns well and prospers but he keeps his desires under control. Working hard to meetones day-to-day need is not greed. But one should understand the difference. Needs can be fulfilled to

an extent but greed can never be.Earning a thousand, one runs after a hundred thousand. Satisfaction is not obtained by chasing afterMaya. One may enjoy all sorts of worldly pleasures, but one is still not satisfied, and indulges more

and more, and wears himself out.5

This view has been corroborated by studies in the field ofhappiness economics, which confirm thatbeyond the provision of a basic level of material comfort, more wealth does not increase happiness.Only contentment satisfies one.Without contentment, no one is satisfied. Like the objects of a dream, ones efforts to satisfy oneself

through worldly comforts, go in vain.6

Moh Emotional AttachmentAttachment is a predictable emotional connection between individuals. However, extensive affectionand connection to worldly possessions and relationships becomes Moh (emotional attachment), a vice.

Generally speaking, love and attachment are natural instincts which are essential for living a sociallife. However, when they exceed moderation, they become a human weakness, which makes one suf-fer.

Describing the impact of Moh (emotional attachment) Sri Guru Granth Sahib explains:

O invincible warrior of the battlefield, attachment! You crush and destroy even the most powerful.You entice and fascinate even the so-called heavenly heralds, celestial singers, gods, mortals, beastsand birds.7

Too much emotional involvement in worldly affairs makes one drowned in the ocean of attachment.

Few are the Guru-oriented who realize this and swim across.8The ignorant people cling blindly to it. But, the Gurmukhs are aware that this world is a play. So,

while being involved in worldly dealings, they remain detached, by attuning themselves to God.9

Hankaar Pride (Ego)Hankaar (Pride, Ego), the fifth vice, is considered the original and most serious of all vices, and indeed the ulti-mate source from which the others arise. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than oth-

ers, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, or excessive love of oneself. In Sri Guru Granth Sahib,Hankaar (Pride, Ego) is described as, the corrupter of the soul and the root cause of suffering. It spreads outsuch illusions that people forsake friends, and befriend enemies.10

All vices are actually mental disorders and harmful for the man. But, egotism is the worst disease in this world.

11The one who is afflicted with this terrible ailment suffers throughout life. Therefore, he is brave and a true war-rior, who subdues his vicious ego from within. 12

He is pure, who conquers his egotism and removes his vices. Such a person liberates him-self, and all his generations as well. 13

Finally, we arrive at the conclusion that the vices, cruelty, attachment, greed and anger are like rivers of

fire. Those who fall into them burn themselves and suffer; one is only saved by holding tight to good deeds.14

In the coming article, we will discuss How to control these vices?

Every human being in order to fulfill his dream travel on the wings of desires to

meet his destiny. We have over the years, left a mark on almost every aspect of

life, may it be UK, Canada, US, Africa, Fiji, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand,

Middle East, and so on. Every day thousand from India land in these countries

with dreams in their eyes. Almost all of them have success story to tell. They all

know how to be successful, and are fully aware of what they are supposed to do,

but are happy in not acknowledging it. There is no short cut to success. In order

to fulfill your dreams and desires, there is no alternate other than honesty and

hard work to reach your destiny. This is what Yaariyan is all about.
