Executive Briefing: The Deepest Spiritual Malady
The Guru Granth Sahib identifies Haumai (egocentric self-centeredness) as the fundamental chronic disease of human consciousness, and Naam (divine remembrance) as its sovereign medicine.
1. The Five Thieves (Panj Chor)
Haumai manifests through five destructive psychological forces: Kam (lust), Krodh (wrath), Lobh (greed), Moh (attachment), and Ahankar (pride), neutralized through selfless service and mindfulness of the divine.
