[QUOTE="vsgrewal48895, post: 107360, member: 8024"] Dear All We can add the following to the list provided by Aman Ji, since character is the foundation stone to progress in spiritual endeavor. It is important to make an honest attempt to remove these before one thinks to grow along spiritual path. [B]CHARACTER DEFECTS INVENTORY[/B] There are 20 + character defects to ask about -- the individual wrongs are not necessary to go over, just the defects that caused them. The inventory is of our defects, not our incidents. Going over the listing, we ask ourselves have we honestly admitted our defects to ourselves as we write out on paper how they have manifested in our lives and created the unmanageability due to the veiling Higher Self by our inborn Hauomai?. ਜੇ ਕੋ ਅਪੁਨੀ ਸੋਭਾ ਲੋਰੈ ॥ ਸਾਧ ਸੰਗਿ ਇਹ ਹਉਮੈ ਛੋਰੈ॥ [I]Jė ko apunī sobẖā lorai. Sāḏẖsang ih ha¬umai cẖẖorai.[/I] If you long for honor for yourself, then renounce your ego in the Sadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy. -----Guru Arjan, Raag Gauri, AGGS, Page, 266- 5 ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਏ ਆਪਿ ਹੈ ਗੁਣ ਗੁਣੀ ਪਰੋਈ ॥ [I]Aap Gava-ay Aap Hai Gun Guni Paro-ee.[/I] Losing ego and merging into the qualities of the Akal Purkh, one himself becomes full of qualities -----Bhai Gur Das, Var 13, Pauri 2-6 ਇੰਦ੍ਰੀ ਪੰਚ ਪੰਚੇ ਵਸਿ ਆਣੈ ਖਿਮਾ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਪਾਵੈ॥ਸੋ ਧਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਜਨੁ ਵਡ ਪੂਰਾ ਜੋ ਭੈ ਬੈਰਾਗਿ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਵੈ ॥ [I]Indree Panch Panchay Vas Aanai Khima Santokh Gurmat Pavai, So Dhan Dhan Har Jan Vad Pooraa Jo Bhai Bairaag Har Gun Gaavai.[/I] Those who have controlled the five senses and the five vices have realized forgiveness, patience, and contentment through Guru’s guidance. Blessed is the person who sings the praises of the Akal Purkh and rids himself of the fear and becomes a perfect man with a detachment of heart. -----Guru Amardas, Raag Parbhati, AGGS, Page, 1334-16 Here is a list of our character defects and more can be added: 1. Harshness, Resentment, Anger 2. Fear, Cowardice 3. Self pity 4. Self justification 5. Self importance, Egotism 6. Self condemnation, Guilt 7. Lying, Evasiveness, Dishonesty 8. Impatience 9. Hate 10. False pride, Phoniness, Denial 11. Jealousy 12. Envy 13. Laziness 14. Procrastination 15. Insincerity 16. Negative Thinking 17. Immoral thinking 18. Perfectionism, Intolerance 19. Criticizing, Loose Talk, Gossip 20. Greed Having admitted these defects to ourselves, are we willing to share them with another and with God? We must ask our self if we are willing to go to any length to get rid of these defects that caused our life to be miserable and we are unable to get mental serenity. Do we want to get rid of them, even those that were "fun"? Cordially Virinder S. Grewal [/QUOTE]
