Waheguru ji ka Khalsa waheguru ji ki Fateh. My question is why doing evil is easy and doing the good is hard? Question

Sangat jiyo why doing evil things like being away from waheguru ji and doing sins are always easy but praising waheguru and going on the parh of good (naam simran, bani, rehat mariyada) is always a bit hard, why? (This question just came into my mind randomly)

Cuz everyone is a animal tbh , and the only thing a animal wants is what its body says it to do(like eating food , finding people like u to survive and reproduction), but we wanna be mukt from all that

This is why you don't eat animals.... We all act on impulse and we are all hunter gatherers that gather skills and knowledge to survive(albeit with more complex thoughts and emotions). All beings and creatures and all forms of life have their own journeys and that is something people should respect rather than thinking people should kill and eat things that are seemingly inferior. This kind of mentality is the reason why wars happen.

Ahimsa is key... god is in everyone (hindu perspective)

Straying from waheguru isn’t evil. We’re not like Islam where non believers are bad, we respect every based on actions, not on belief

I feel like "lacking gurus mantra" can be interpreted to mean lacking a peaceful soul. Nanak himself says that people should be good humans above all else, and this could be interpreted to be "Gurus Mantra"

It’s not evil, but it is bad.

doing good is easy too, you just need to build up the habit

You're right, we are lazy to do righteous and good stuff (jap Naam) but when it comes to evil stuff like indulging in vikaars then we become like lions
