I am very sorry. Thanks for your welcome.

No reincarnation in Sikhi? Good deeds do not bring good results in Sikhi? Bad deeds do not bring bad results in Sikhi?

Tejwant Singh ji, With all due respect, and my apologies but I feel it is best not to tell people on this forum what my own beliefs are about the soul. I am not a prophet so I have no direct experience about what happens. I do hold certain beliefs but what does it matter on this forum? I am...

I would love to finally be rid of my ego, but that probably won't happen while I am alive. (ego meaning my selfish desires). But I also have Godly desires which are selfless that I believe are eternal. But even my selfish desires can be channeled for goodness while I am alive on this earth. So...

So according to Sikh beliefs, after our souls leave our bodies and finally merge with God, we are wiped out of existence? Isn't this what Buddhists believe? Don't they believe that Nirvana is the total extinction of consciousness? There is no more pain, but neither is there any pleasure...

The "drop" is destroyed in the sense that it is no longer a "drop" because all of the H2O molecules separate, i.e. one H2O molecule might end up in the Indian Ocean and another in the Atlantic. The atoms that composed the original drop might still be there, but the form of the drop disappears...

So according to Sikhi, Guru Nanak has no existence. In other words, his soul was, for all intents and purposes, destroyed long ago (at the time he merged with God)?

Seeker9 Ji, I'm not referring to the soul having memories of everything that happened to it during it's lifetime on earth. Right now, at this very moment, is Guru Nanak aware of God and of himself as being God's child?

The good, holy, Godly, part of your soul, in other words, the essence of your soul, in other words, You without all of the negative aspects (ego, anger, lust, etc.), just the good part of you. This is what I mean by "I".

Namjap Ji (means Dear?), Thank you. Let me please ask futher: Do Nanak and the other Gurus know what is happening on Earth right now? Do they know what is happening in the higher worlds? Do they know what is happening to themselves? Are they aware of G-d and of other souls? Can they...

You wrote "I am installed". Does this I - the You - Bahadar - exist forever? What are Ram and Kabir?

I'd like to put my question another way: My name is Abba. According to Sikh beliefs, when I eventually reach the highest level and merge with God, will Abba still exist forever or will there eventually be no more Abba?

Question about the ultimate goal of man: Does the soul "become God" and cease to be other than God OR does the soul become "one" with God while at the same time remaining other than God (a paradox to our human minds, being one and other at the same time)? If we "become God" this would seem to...

I am new to this forum and know very little about Sikhism. What does the symbol mean (the yellow symbol next to my name)?
