Where does Evil come from in Sikhism?
Cause of all evils is EGO. When one is ignorant of TRUTH, DIVINE WISDOM, GOD he continue to be influenced by negative and evil thoughts. One is not even aware. This then become his personality. GURBANI says HAUMAI DEERAG ROG HAI meaning SEPARATIONFROM TRUTH is serious shortcoming of an individual.
The evil gets generated in our mind because of five sins.
ਦੁਸਟ ਦੂਤ ਪਰਮੇਸਰਿ ਮਾਰੇ ॥ ਜਨ ਕੀ ਪੈਜ ਰਖੀ ਕਰਤਾਰੇ ॥੧॥ 201
The Creator Akal Purkh eliminates the wicked and the evil. He preserves the honor of His servant.
Our ego does not allow us to learn the qualities of Akal Purkh through Shabad Guru. Once we start putting efforts to follow the Shabad, then our ego starts reducing automatically.
ਜਿਸੁ ਪਾਪੀ ਕਉ ਮਿਲੈ ਨ ਢੋਈ ॥ ਸਰਣਿ ਆਵੈ ਤਾਂ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਹੋਈ ॥੧॥ – 1141
