We often imagine the Panj Chor as the obvious things — anger, attachment, ego, greed, desire.
But some of the most powerful thieves
are the ones that enter dressed as devotion.
They whisper in holy language:
“Wake earlier.”
“Do more paath.”
“You’re not good enough.”
“You should be better by now.”
“Others are more spiritual than you.”
They feel spiritual.
But their vibration is fear, not love.
And because they come from old conditioning, trauma, or shame,
they feel so convincing —
as though they’re guiding us toward “being better.”
But Gurbani teaches something radically different:
**Every breath is a new opportunity**
Guilt, shame, perfectionism cause us to be trapped in the past or the idea of a future outcome. The punj know that whilst we are in past or future we cannot connect to Love, wisdom, Vaheguru.
But when , we hear that wisdom of Aatma come through, we choose to spend that precious breath, our spiritual wealth in service of connection and deepening love with the Divine.
We understand that Guru does not ask us for perfection.
Only presence.
Only sincerity.
Only one breath of turning.
When harsh inner voices arise —
self-criticism, religious pressure, guilt, comparison —
this is not your aatma speaking.
This is the panj chor wearing religious clothing.
Freedom begins the moment we recognise:
“This is not me and instead of obeying that voice,
we return to the vibration of Naam —
where the chest softens,
the heart reopens,
and love becomes the guiding force again.
Because in the end:
**Love is the only discipline
that our True mother and father asks of us.**
