The Word 'Sin' Came From 'Missing The Mark'
The word 'sinful' is often related to something excitingly excessive like a strong dose of chocolate. in has found connotations with sex in om extraditions’. In Indian tradition rems like paap, Kesha’s, afflictions or dharmic, are used. Paap refers to cations that create negative karma by isolating moral and ethical codes. In the emetic traditionssin is acting against he will of God. The origin of the word 'sin' dates act to old archery and simply implies missing the mark’. So it is a failure to recognise 'the point' of a situation. Contemporary psycho-spiritual on text has viewed sin as 'unskilled behaviours'. In this case one is advised be careful in observing what is appropriate and inappropriate within ny given tradition and try to cultivate a eleventh, appropriate response. Mikhail Niamh believes nothing is in but the barrier that man sets up between himself and God-between his transient self and his abiding Self. While in the Gita, (4:36), we read: "Even if you were the most sinful (papakrttamah) of all sinners (papebhyah), you would cross over all evil by the raft of knowledge alone." The seven cardinal sins are 1) pride; 2) envy-malice; 3) wrath; 4) sloth; 5) gluttony; 6) avarice-covetousness; 7) lust-lechery; corresponding with Indian tradition's five: 1) kama, desire, passion; 2) krodha, anger; 3) mochas, attachment; 4)lobar, greed, avarice-an almost pathological obsession to get more and as Bhishma says: 'From covetousness proceeds sin' (it is from this source that sin and irreligiousness flow, together with great misery). And 5) mada, pride or sense of self-importance. Moha or attachment takes up a major part of the Indian psycho-spiritual discourse. It means affections towards the transitory and perishable, starting from one's own body and moving to other people and to material possessions. A sense of 'mine-ness'is taken to bind consciousness to the limited sphere. The antidote has been developing detachment, vairagya and alignment to the higher and the highest. Sin can imply inauthentic living. This is shown in the Hasidic story ofthe person who dies and goes to heaven and is asked whether he had lived his life or someone else's. The discernment required is recognition that everything may be available or even permitted and yet not everything is expedient. In some places certain acts may not be punishable by law but one realises it as sinful or dharmic. This realisation is often reached through one's conscience, or tree higher intelligence, boddhi. "The Christian faith," writes Joe Mathews, "very early understood that its primary categories were not good or evil but sin and faith." Faith is that state of being which is in touch with the Mystery; the Other World that is embedded in this world,the nirvana that is present within samsara. Some believe sin is the tool that the Devil, the deceiver, uses to turnapersoff course from the straight path, to ka person entangled and attached to worldly things and affairs.

However, when it is recognised and named, it is unmasked; sanity is restoand the journey of the wayfarer towpath Divine is allowed to continue.
