In
Sikhism, the Five Thieves (
Punjabi: ਪੰਜ ਚੋਰ, pronunciation: [pand͡ʒt͡ʃoɝ]), also called the five evils or the five vices (Punjabi: ਪੰਜ ਬੁਰਾਈਆਂ paja burā'ī'āṁ),[1] are the five major weaknesses of the human personality at variance with its spiritual essence, and are known as "thieves" because they steal a person's inherent
common sense. These five thieves are
kaam (lust),
krodh (wrath),
lobh (greed),
moh (attachment) and
ahankar (ego or excessive pride).[2][better source needed]
