[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 147809, member: 2709"] Personally I enjoy looking at the history of evolution. I think it's interesting and can help form a perspective on the current human condition. Obviously that's not the be-all and end-all, but I see a balance of the physical/mundane and the spiritual in Sikhi. So I see evolution as being relevant to relating to the "wolf within". I also think what our primitive ancestors did in the past to survive was totally justified in the situation. It was hukam, in my opinion. I heard an interesting comment at my Gurdwara a couple of weeks ago when I was evesdropping on a Gurbani class, and it really got me thinking. I had previously been of the impression that the aim of the game was to 'become enlightened' or 'break the cycle and merge with Waheguru'. But the statement made during the class was that the aim of the game is to 'become Waheguru's slave'. Totally redirected my perspective - and it sounds so simple when put like that! As humans we can't claw out of any cycle, merge with any creative source, no matter how hard we try. It's up to Waheguru's grace to liberate us. And we don't become attractive for that grace without surrendering and giving ourselves over to the hukam. So really, everything is superflous to existence except realising our place, listening for the hukam/shabad and singing along in tune. Don't ask me how to do that, exactly. All I know is what Gurbani tells me, and to contradict my own earlier post, part of that would be to eliminate the 5 vices. Maybe I haven't read enough Gurbani to have a well-rounded knowledge of them yet. But so far, I know that encouraging the 5 virtues should go a long way to helping. And if you compare the virtues to the vices, do they cancel each other out? [B]Vice [/B] Kaam (lust) Krodh (anger) Lobh (greed) Moh (attachment) Ahankar (pride) [B]Virtue[/B] Sat (truth) Santokh (contentment) Daya (compassion) Nimrata (humility) Pyare (love) Oohh, it feels like one of those 'draw a line between the corresponding attributes' games you do in school. I can see that Santokh and Moh go together, Krodh and Daya, Lobh and Nimrata, Sat and Ahankar... which funnily enough puts Pyare and Kaam together which is what Harry ji said on page 1!!! That's funny! Any agreement here on combating the animal self with virtues or should I send myself off to the looney bin? :grinningkudi: [/QUOTE]
