[QUOTE="TigerStyleZ, post: 196007, member: 15169"] WJKK WJKF, I dont want to dig out the Post again - but I still do not understand/comprehend why so much people vote " No, I don't believe in reincarnation or transmigration" , as per Guru Granth Sahib. There is no reasioning or quotation from anyone that Gurbani disapproving the point of reincarnation. Much people say that mostly the argumentation goes against the Vedasis at that time etc.. But where are the sources or the ANGS of Guru Granth Sahib ji? Here are some of my views... I am sorry that I could not post whole Shabad as I am still learning.. much to do... yeah.. I'm interested to hear the views of members around reincarnation and Sikhi.
