      Our goal in lfe is to become GURMUKH or SACHIAR
      Now let’s think how to become the above

      Kiv sachiara hooeia kiv kooreea tootai paal II
      Hukam rajaaiee chalna Nanak likhia naal II Japuji Sahib

      Question: How we become creator realized within and remove obstacles on this path
      Answer: Abide by the Hukam of Akaal Purkh within

      We have to realize that Akaal Purkh is within us all the times and so is Hukam( the laws of nature)

      By the teachings of Gurbani we have to inculcate the following virtues: Truth, Pure love for all, Contentment, Humility, Sahej, Compassion, Kindness, no Enmity, no Envy, no Jealousy, forgiveness and equality of gender etc; and cotnrol on five vices such as Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment from Maya and Ego

      Jaskaranji one thing Sikhs are badly lacking is values of truthful living. You will be shocked to here that in one prison in British Columbia Canada over 80% are Punjabis 20-30 years. As Sikhs we have not been able to break away from corrupt Indian way of life. Need of the time is to listen to what Gurbani teaches . Guru says BINA SANTIKH NAHEE KO RAJAI meaning we should work hard for honest living but learn to be happy with what we have, never use fraudulent ways to get rich. Our youth is getting into gangs and drug trafficking just to get rich fast. .

      Very good question and i agree with both answers. To add
      ਕਾਮ ਕ੍ਰੋਧ ਮਾਇਆ ਮਦ ਮਤਸਰ ਏ ਖੇਲਤ ਸਭਿ ਜੂਐ ਹਾਰੇ ॥ ਸਤੁ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਦਇਆ ਧਰਮੁ ਸਚੁ ਇਹ ਅਪੁਨੈ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਭੀਤਰਿ ਵਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ AGGS 379
      Kam Krodh Maya Madh Matasar Ea Khelat Sabh Juai Hare || Sat Santokh Daya Dharam Sach Eh Apunai Grih Bhitar Vare ||1||
      Person who takes spiritual knowledge and wisdom from the Guru loses ardent sexual desire, anger, intoxication with worldly passion (Maya), ego and jealousy as stake in the game of chance and usher in mind (Mann) voluntary service (Sat), contentment (Santokh), compassion (Daya), righteousness (Dharam) and truthfulness (Sach).
      These are what one have to abandon and imbibe in the mind (Mann) to be a Truthful Human Being.
