[QUOTE="Dimitri, post: 48640, member: 2685"] [b]Re: 13 reason for : "Why I am a Sikh"[/b] Few questions regarding the above post. If sikhism believes in law of Karma - then how did that law applied to the first person on the planet. Does't matter how did that first being came into picture - be it creation out of nothing or evolution. The question is what acts/or karma decided its current life.
