| |  | | | On a Scale of Most Severe, Which Vice Affects You the Most?
Gurfatehji Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/general-discussion/37375-scale-most-severe-vice-affects-you.html
In a recent thread, the concept arose of facets of the Creator that had always been inside us, from birth to present day. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37375
By the same token, I think one or more of the five thieves have also been inside us, from birth to present day, I think we all got something good and something not so good.

I got lust and moh. Lust diminished over time but moh (attachment) is incredibly strong. Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37375 Example (moh): I don't want to see my mom or our dog die before I do. I want to go first.

At times they would be so quiet, you would forget about them. But thats their deception, for when they attack unexpectedly, damage is usually big and irreversible! | | The following members appreciate Kanwaljit Singh Ji for the above message. | |

Good point Kanwaljit ji. Harry ji may have been thinking about which one of the vices is most prominent in one's life, rather than asking which vices one has (since most of us probably have all of them to some degree, as you pointed out). | | The following member appreciates Ishna Ji for the above message. | |

It goes without saying everyone has all five. Not all are prominent to same degree in most or most of the stages of life.
A baby crying versus an adult crying when pinched perhaps activate different levels of thieves in addition to sensory stimuli.

I thought it was mostly Kam and Krodh, but all other are equally prominent. And like I said, sometimes all would go dormant and suddenly one of them would take off like a rocket! |

So on a scale of 1 to 10, with the dominating ones marked with an x
1. Kam (Lust) 10 (but only towards my wife) X
2. Krodh (Rage) 2 ( I do not get angry, just very quiet, more sad)
3. Lobh (Greed) 2 (not really a problem, have had it all, lost it all, happy now
4. Moh (Attachment) 2 Largely due to events in the past Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37375Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=37375
5. Ahankar (Ego) 8 I sufferer from anti ego, I am averse to it, in my dress and
attitude, which is just as bad X |
