![]() ![]() There's nowhere in Guru Granth Sahib where the Guru tells you to completely eliminate all sense of desire, just uncontrollable desire (e.g. The Messenger of Death will not touch you in this way, you shall cross over the terrifying world-ocean, carrying others across with you. ![]() Just as fire is extinguished by pouring on water, desire becomes the slave of the Lord's slaves. The True Merchandise, Wealth and Capital are obtained through the Radiant Light of the Guru. Our purpose as Sikhs our goal overall is to get desire to work in line with Gurmat for the greater good of society: The Sikh approach is to quench and control our base desires (sexual desire, financial, etc.), not tell ourselves that everything is a dukh and eliminate all desire altogether. Uncontrollable and unfulfilled desires internally manifest themselves as dukh. Where does the Guru Granth Sahib say this? This is the Buddhist world view as Buddhism is rooted on dukh, not the Sikh one.ĥ:36 "Desire (as in any desire whatsoever, emphasis mine) is a dukh". There are many in this video, but I'll highlight a couple just to make my point.ĥ:08 " Everything is a dukh". Again, another sleight-of-hand video by Satpal Singh.
