[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 79541, member: 35"] Sikh80 ji The three qualities or gunas of themselves are not evil, but in fact are within creation. Guru Amardas explains, [COLOR=Blue]ਮਾਇਆ ਮਾਈ ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ ਪਰਸੂਤਿ ਜਮਾਇਆ ॥[/COLOR][COLOR=Blue]maaeiaa maaee thrai gun parasooth jamaaeiaa || [/COLOR][COLOR=Blue]Maya, the mother, gave birth to the three gunas, the three qualities, [COLOR=Black] He also says,[/COLOR] [/COLOR][COLOR=Blue]ਤ੍ਰੈ ਗੁਣ ਸਭਿ ਤੇਰੇ ਤੂ ਆਪੇ ਕਰਤਾ ਜੋ ਤੂ ਕਰਹਿ ਸੁ ਹੋਈ ॥ [/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue] thrai gun sabh thaerae thoo aapae karathaa jo thoo karehi s hoee || [/COLOR] [COLOR=Blue] The three qualities are all Yours, O Lord; You Yourself created them.

[COLOR=Black] He[/COLOR][/COLOR] says that we become entangled in the gunas mistaking them for the more perfect goal of keeping the medicine of the Naam on our tongues and drinking the ambrosial Nectar. The gunas prompt us to look outward rather than within. We must move beyond them. Gurbani discusses this problem in more than 100 places. I copied this shabad (part) from Guru Arjan Dev ji on Ang 374. It shows how we can be torn away from our inner journey because we look in the wrong places.
