One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
ਭੀਤਰਿ ਪੰਚ ਗੁਪਤ ਮਨਿ ਵਾਸੇ ॥

The five evil passions dwell hidden within the mind.
ਥਿਰੁ ਨ ਰਹਹਿ ਜੈਸੇ ਭਵਹਿ ਉਦਾਸੇ ॥੧॥
thir na raheh jaisay bhaveh udaasay. ||1||
They do not remain still, but move around like wanderers. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Five troublemakers live hidden inside the mind.
They never hold still — they roam about like restless wanderers.
Five restless troublemakers hide inside the mind — and the first step is just noticing them.
The Panch Vikaar — the five passions (lust, anger, greed, attachment, ego) — are pictured as restless squatters "hidden within the mind," never still. They do not announce themselves; they hide and wander, which is exactly what makes them hard to catch. Naming them is the first step to noticing them at work.
A Question to Sit With
Can you name the restless feelings that move around inside you without warning?
