In Sikhi, Moh means attachment.
It is when our heart becomes so tied to people, things, desires, or outcomes that our peace starts depending on them. And that is where pain begins.
Moh is not the same as love. Love can be pure, honest, and selfless. But Moh is when love becomes clinging. It is when we hold on so tightly to this temporary world that we forget everything here is passing. We get attached to relationships, money, success, comfort, status, and even the image we have of how life is supposed to go. Then when something changes, leaves, or breaks, we fall apart with it.
Sikhi teaches us that the world is temporary, but we keep expecting permanent peace from temporary things. That is why Moh hurts. Not because caring is wrong, but because we begin to build our inner stability on things that were never meant to stay forever.
Guru Sahib does not teach us to stop loving. Sikhi teaches us to love deeply, but with wisdom. To care without losing ourselves. To live in the world, but not become trapped by it. Real freedom begins when our heart is anchored in Vaheguru instead of the constantly changing world.
When attachment weakens, peace grows.
