✨ About This Book
The Five Thieves, known in Sikh philosophy as the Panj Chor, are the inner influences that distract us from truth, peace, humility, and spiritual growth.
This book explains each of these powerful concepts in a simple, engaging, and practical way:
- Kaam – Uncontrolled Desire
- Krodh – Anger
- Lobh – Greed
- Moh – Attachment
- Hankaar – Ego
Instead of merely defining these ideas, Satnam Rakhra explores how they appear in everyday situations and how Sikh teachings provide practical ways to recognise, understand, and overcome them.
Each chapter includes modern explanations alongside clear infographic-style visual summaries, making this book ideal for readers of all ages.
