Respected Narayanjot ji,
I am very confused about significance of karma and reincarnation/mukti in Sikhism.
If the concept of reincarnation is false and is but attachment to maya itself, how about karma ?
if one does good deeds (karma) and the other does bad karma, doesn't these karma come back in some form or another back to that person. This way universe justifies every deed done.
If one can get away with doing bad karma and inflicting others with suffering, where is the justice to those who have suffered ?

Isn't it correct to assume that if I make someone suffer, i will also suffer in one way or another, Similarly isn't it correct to assume that if I have tried to cleanse my soul of five evils and have done some good deeds , shouldn't those good deeds come back to me ?
How can people who have killed innocents in 1984 Sikh riots, will never be served what they truly deserve by this universe- which in itself is perfect ? (It has been created by the hukam of God)
How come a child suffer if he has no dues from his previous lives ? How come small children who can barely walk are infected by diseases such as HIV ?
If there is no karma then isn't it true to assume that the world that we live in is imperfect form of God because there is no justice done ?
Does our previous lives count for nothing ? what about the fact that a person goes through 84,00,000 reincarnations ?

In the end this was my million dollar question all along : how can one find eternal happiness in this life ? The kind when we are in true union with God (if we are in union right now and can't see that then how can we realize that we are one with god ?) Is this 'salvation/mukti' possible in this very life ?
If yes, then how ?
This is really confusing and I am clearly perplexed. I need some guidance.
Regards.
