Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sikhilove1" data-source="post: 221104" data-attributes="member: 22349">Every human has been given the right to practice freedom of choice. However, sometimes humans go too far, ie murdering each other, in which case it’s righteous for us to choose to stand up for ourselves and fight back. People choose to practice satanism and even child sacrifice, in those cases, they should be stopped and justice should be served. For each choice that we practice freely, there is a consequence. Practicing josh, ie practicing our freedom to do bad things under the influence of the five thieves knowing that god loves us unconditionally, not caring about the consequences, leads to an unbalanced mind and mental illnesses.Freedom from maya, and the cycles of births and deaths is living life, being good, ie practicing gurbani. Practicing maya is slavery to an illusion. Weve been given a choice, to be free and walk on the straight and narrow path, or be chained by the foolishness of the thieves. It can take many years, decades, and janams to accept this, because maya can look tempting, but once it’s accepted, a being can finally feel peace at last.God doesn’t put us in chains, we sometimes end up doing that ourselves. We are free. We dictate our own lives, we make our own choices and create our own reality. It’s up to us what we want to create.</blockquote>
