[QUOTE="BhagatSingh, post: 147678, member: 2610"] Making peace between and with the 5 Veils is only the first step. Greed (Lobh), Lust (Kaam), Attachment (Moh), Pride (Ahankar), Anger (krodh), which are the manifestations of Ego (emphasizing the sense of self as distinct from everything else). It seems to me that the ultimate goal is to eventually burn them with the Fire of Naam (or even with the fire of Yoga, Vipassana, etc etc whichever way you prefer). I have not seen a sentence in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji which says these should be kept for any purpose. Quite the opposite, they must be dissolved, disintegrated. I agree with it, when it says that the Hot fire of ego must be extinguished. And that's because in our society it serves no purpose. It harms us instead. But let me first mention how the ego has been useful to us so far. We humans homo homo sapien cro magnon are here because of it. Our ancestors, because of their ego killed off the other 6 human species and have driven other 100s of species to extinction. We dominate the planet today. Unfortunately there is now no more room to fill, and we encounter each other, strangers, enemies, friends, basically random people, every day of our life. In there 100s! Our old ways of living isolated in tribes of 50 are OVER. strangers, enemies, friends - the Ego does this labelling. The ego sees and is overly attached with this concept that there is a friend, an enemy and stranger. Those without ego realize that there is no such thing, what they see is much deeper than individuals with ego. This is not to say that they cannot distinguish between them. The ego is still there but has been demoted. The consciousness of the individual, the God inside, is promoted and emphasized. (it won't be long until the individual eventually loses the ego and dies however, back to the point) If you are stuck in the negative, you are stuck in the positive. That's OK though. Nothing wrong with that BUT it's being emphasized beyond a certain point. What needs to be emphasized is the experience there is no negative or positive, there is just one's perception. What needs to be emphasized is full awareness of what [B]is[/B], pure consciousness needs to arise, [U]without thought.[/U](let me come back to why no thoughts can be there) Look at the clouds, stare at them and their infinite shapes, look at the trees the way they dance with the wind, softly, majestic... an experience that can only be experienced. What I have described cannot encapsulate that perception! And what a perception! Rich! complex! infinite... it's beauty is not available to thoughts... Thoughts tell you "it sucks", "bull-waste", "nothing there dude", "booooring". But put consciousness to everyday objects and gain full access to perception. It offers, fulfillment without material, happiness without external input, and a rich experience. Inner peace is obtained. Emphasize such a perception more. Demphasize ego and thoughts.

Though struggle could get one to a place where one realizes it's not necessary. One is neither harry nor the wolf. One is .. well ONE. One is the witness to the story. One is the God which makes the perception of such a story and all our perceptions possible. When there is perception... perception again being full awareness of something.. in that moment, there is no ego.
