Hi everyone.

I just had a conversation with my two muslim friends about religion and life and god and all of that stuff. And I have to admit that a lot of the stuff they were talking about made a lot of sense to me. It seemed like they had a lot of answers to things like, what happens when you die? etc. I was wondering if sikhism has answers like that, to questions such as

where does the soul come from?
what happens when you die?
is there an end of the world?
where does the world come from?
what is god?
etc

there's just so much interesting stuff in the qu'ran it seems compared to ggs. Dont get me wrong, I still believe in sikhism firmly. Thanks

Wha ti know from sikhism is that, we are all one with god already, we are here on earth to progress in life, our soul has come from diffferent life cycles through births and deaths, and that human stage is the last stage where we have the ability to merge with the one. We are here to live in pure concious. Souls are here to grow, nothing is bad in life, its just a lack of love that creates trouble, otherwise our soul is growing. We learn from our mistakes and carry on life. I think further from the soul is the spirit one with god, we already one with god all the time...

People have talked about near death experiences, and information they describe as being in a light which is undescribable, its full of love, and bliss. The light talks to you telepathy, and their is a life review of what you have lived, like a report, and your next life is decided by your karma, your actions. But whatever happenes god loves as alot, just wants us to understand that we must be one with god.

I think this is what life is, to be one with god. It doesnt matter about end of the world, this life is all physical, people are trying so hard to look for god, when everything is god, only god exists, thats all. Everything is alive from the light of god, so its best to be just ourselves in life and take the sruggle. God is everything including air, just everything we see. We create illusions in the mind, which is only the physical world. We have to control it.

I reckon god is beyond infinite and beyond anything we can imagine. it is like chaos happening around a vacuum which cant be measured. For example, when theres zero space, theres alot of things going on there. In truth, we are already immortal our soul is already immortal, we go through life in many different worlds and experiences.

Dont need to talk about god too much. We are here to be ourselves. Be yourself, be as pure as you can, and dont worry about life, because life is GOD EXPLORING GODSELF!

The problem is, people dont understand the concept of sikhism. Im not saying i am always right. But people make sikhism like a organisation. Infact, its better not to call us sikhs but just human beings. We should be ourselves. I really belive that there was a time and place for everything like the khalsa etc. The sikh gurus were truth, and had been merged with god. People create images of god in their mind, and try their hardest to knw where god is. Well i think god is everything, and you realize god in your heart. Just be yourself, and be as truhful as you can. Dont panic in life, even if you do, dont worry, we all have our own missions in life that god has given us. We are here to learn and to love. Just be yourself. People like muslims, and sikhs and hindus have come up with wrong ideas about god, instead they want to show of about their religion. As soon as we are born, we start to question about god, but do animals question about god? No they dont, because their life is structured and they are allready in divine life, whereas human life has so much freedom, we start to create the concept of god. If we were pure we wouldnt ask about god. God is everything, JUST BE YOURSELF, its all bout inner self, and take pressure in life, everything is one in reality. Let

balance your mind and heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like you are halfway there being brain washed by your so called friends!!.

Sounds harsh. Yes it is.

Your comment about " there's just so much interesting stuff in the qu'ran it seems compared to ggs." is the most ludicrous comment I have heard from a SIKH (if you are one that is!!!).

There is a vast amount of topics on this forum on our Sikh religion. Sikhism is the faith of the new age!!..

When I hear comments like yours, I just shake my head and feel sorry for you.. You are one of the people I would clasify as LAZY..
Yup sounds harsh. Lazy that you cant get off you backside and do some research on how wonderful our Sikh religion is..Lazy that you want someone to always spoonfeed you with answers.

No wonder there are people who follow blindly any so called "sants" and Baba this baba that.!!

And by the way its Sri Guru Granth Sahib JiJ ie "Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji". Show some respect. please.

i may be lazy, but you're definately ignorant. i dont think taking interest in what other religions believe constitutes me as being "brain washed." to be honest with you, being a sikh there are so many questions i can never find the answers for. maybe i'm not looking in the right place but from what i know the guru grath sahib doesnt talk about the things i asked.

thats true, no one has been enlightened by being a sikh, and yet so many have by being them selves. Sikhism is not an act, and is not really a religion. Where did everything come from at the start, guru nanak dev ji, sat there meditated inner self, and bang found that everything is god. Why are we trying to show that we are sikhs kaur ji? Thats what i dont get, with all respect, you always talk about us that we should be sikh, thats showing ego-ism, that means you hate life, you think sikhism is always right. Because your a sikh doesnt mean you are always right. Infact, i dont even think there is such thing as Sikhism in this life, because people treat it as an act or an organisation. Has anyone been enlightened so far? Tell me...

I think the Sikh Gurus were aware of the truth, and people just taken it the wrong way. Sikh gurus were pure concious, thats all in life there is to be learnt, to have pure concious, that means respect everything, religion comes and goes! And yes kaur sister, you are being ignorant. The Sikh gurus were truth and bliss from god. They were one with god, they didnt have to create a religion, Guru nanak didnt even have to create a religion, but guru ji created a religion because there was a time and place for it, it was needed. Religion was what god wanted at that time to settle the differences between muslims and hindus. Guru Nanak dev ji even knew of it, that religion is not needed, but guruji had to because his enlightened experience with god told guru ji to come up with a religion. And Guru Gobind singh ji came up with what the people of india needed to keep them going as the guru knew that these people will never understand pure concious, so they had to carry on the religion. Right now, i think there are so many sikhs, trying to get enlightened, because theres nothing else for them that makes them happy. They get bored, so they decide to make something their everything. Just be yourself in life, be as pure as you can. Dont stick to one thing, otherwise you dont learn in life. Be yourself!!

And what are you talking about! You get too excited, just cos some old people say to you you shouldnt listen to saints and yogis etc you say they are wrong. To many people been telling you too much not to do this, not to do that. They dont knw themselves what they are on about, they dont think before they actually say anything. We dont copy yogis etc, we get ideas from them, right now, do you even feel comfortable of what you are doing kaur ji Tell me? Your saying so much things against other things and just because you follow sikhism you say you are right? WOW! Thats what you call sticking to one thing and not growing!!

Dont think people understand the guru granth sahib ji properly! Sometimes when you are i total bliss you may exagerate things! Just to make people comfortable, because people ask to much and get to many answers

People have religions just to make a character up forthemselves, they are scared that if they just bee themselves life will be hard... thats the problem, its all about showing what you are to people rather then being truthful. Im not saying religion is wrong, im just saying if that is helping you to be who you really are, then carry on, its good, otherwise, if your going to be ignorant about other things, then you are not being truthful and its so obvious your wrong!

Kaur Ji, sister you show to much formalities like all other ignorant people do!

Remember, There Is N Wrong Everything Is Right, As Everything Is God!

The thing is, if to choose a religion, it would be sikhism. Sometimes when you be yourself, there may be problems and you could get lost, therefore religions can help people. But whatever it is, life is god exploring itself. Everything is god, god is the only thing that exists, whatever it is, its god!.

So kaur ji is not wrong and we all have our own way to find god, but dont be against others and try to understand.

" Why are we trying to show that we are sikhs kaur ji? Thats what i dont get, with all respect, you always talk about us that we should be sikh, thats showing ego-ism, that means you hate life, you think sikhism is always right.
Because your a sikh doesnt mean you are always right. Infact, i dont even think there is such thing as Sikhism in this life, because people treat it as an act or an organisation. "

BECAUSE THIS IS A SIKH FORUM. Please look up the meaning of being a Sikh in the (latest) Rehat Maryada!
As you dont follow any of the 5k's (from your other msg's), you are by definition not a Sikh. If you did have some of the 5k's it shows that you are trying to be one at least.

"Has anyone been enlightened so far? Tell me..."

You are lost in your own world. You obiviously neednt read books of Gursikhs life stories or met any Gursikhs (I havent met any too but am reading their books and their lives). Books on Gursikhs such as Bhai Randhir Singh Ji aamong many others.

This shows that you have not BOTHERED to read mine or probably others advice to you.

Waffling on as usual. Like a pendulum. You are definately lost in "duality" and have massive "doubt" in you. Look up the meaning of "doubt" in the english dictionary.

" Just be yourself in life, be as pure as you can. Dont stick to one thing, otherwise you dont learn in life. Be yourself!!"

Hmmm..Its a Sikh Forum. So try and be a good Sikh and pure as a khalsa one day (which I am also trying to achieve).

"And what are you talking about! You get too excited, just cos some old people say to you you shouldnt listen to saints and yogis etc you say they are wrong. To many people been telling you too much not to do this, not to do that."

What people are telling me what?. I dont think I need people to tell me this. It doesnt need a genius to work this out. You only need God given common sense to work it out. Only the strong minded Sikh ie with no doubt in the believe of Sri Guru Granth Sahib JiJ and Gurbani can in my opinion watch this type of programs of 'this and that baba's' without being brainwashed. In my opinion from your various comments on your believe and Sikhi (again I say Sikhi because this a Sikh forum site) I would catergorise you in the lost sheep category.

" They dont knw themselves what they are on about, they dont think before they actually say anything. We dont copy yogis etc, we get ideas from them, right now, do you even feel comfortable of what you are doing kaur ji Tell me?"

Actually I know for a fact that I do 'think' and am quite comfortable with what I am saying.
Why cant you first get ideas from SIKH Gurbani then get ideas from 'this and that baba's'..
I say its pure laziness on your part.

"Your saying so much things against other things and just because you follow sikhism you say you are right? WOW! Thats what you call sticking to one thing and not growing!!"

Its a Sikh forum site and I am hear to learn more about the meaning of Gurbani, Sikh issues among the many topics here.

"Dont think people understand the guru granth sahib ji properly! Sometimes when you are i total bliss you may exagerate things! Just to make people comfortable, because people ask to much and get to many answers"

I am a Sikh - a learner. I dont think in my life time I will be able to understand all of the sacred gurbani in Sri Guru Granth Sahib JiJ. I am just a manmukh trying to be a gurmukh.

"People have religions just to make a character up forthemselves, they are scared that if they just bee themselves life will be hard... thats the problem, its all about showing what you are to people rather then being truthful. Im not saying religion is wrong, im just saying if that is helping you to be who you really are, then carry on, its good, otherwise, if your going to be ignorant about other things, then you are not being truthful and its so obvious your wrong!"

Well from your statement(and the similar ones you made previously) you dont believe in religion. So why are you here on this forum giving advice regarding the Sikh religion.!!
Do you even know the definition of being a Sikh?
I would understand if you were a non-sikh giving an opinion or discussing religion diff's etc..


"Kaur Ji, sister you show to much formalities like all other ignorant people do!

Confused arent you!

"The thing is, if to choose a religion, it would be sikhism. Sometimes when you be yourself, there may be problems and you could get lost, therefore religions can help people.

Start learning and listening to Gurbani and Waheguroo will guide you. Dont be lazy and keep on saying your "be yourself" lines. One has to do some hard work to learn. Its not easy to remember waheguru.

"So kaur ji is not wrong and we all have our own way to find god, but dont be against others and try to understand."

I am no expert just a manmukh striving to be a gurmukh - a gursikh.

, no im on this site to share my ideas, cant we all. Ok Kaur ji you are right aswell, im just said your not wrong, im just kinda dissapointed when you think other religions are wrong, i might have said i dont belive in religions, but im just saying, why as a sikh do you discriminae other religions by saying they are wrong? Im not saying religions are wrong, im just saying we need religions but no ones right and no ones wrong, and i dont know why you are getting frustrated, i mean im just saying init.

Be careful, brainwashing by Muslims is a fact. Sikhi is beautiful.

Anoop, Sikh scriptures are full of statements that the qazi and mullah have got it wrong, so Kaur isn't saying anything new.

Someone also posted this:

Hang on, where can I see this "new" maryada........I hadn't heard there have been changes to the old one!

Versus asked few questions. Can anybody here answer them from Guru Granth Saheb point of view.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=9132
I doubt "be yourself", "brainswashing" "laziness" etc are answers from Guru Granth.
Maybe someone with more understanding of Guru Granth can have a go at this. Plz. So we can learn and thats what we are here for in the first place.
