<blockquote data-quote="Harkiran Kaur" data-source="post: 207422" data-attributes="member: 18224"><p>I am sure I posted full shabads on this before and my full interpretation of them. My view of "reincarnation" as it were or "transmigration" falls in line with Gurbani saying that all is one (generally speaking). The idea of Nirgun / Sargun aspect of Waheguru. Form which emenates from formless. Consciousness being the base of existence and having a real intrinsic connection to matter. So to me, "we" really means Waheguru. And Waheguru has been the 'doer' behind everyone and everything since the inception of the Universe. So my understanding of what transmigration / reincarnation is, does not refer to "separate" souls as if we are all separate entities body jumping after death and starting a new separate life. Rather, the one who continues to exist in every human, is Waheguru. And the only experiencer / doer who has ever existed behind every entity that has ever breathed (and also every inanimate object, plant etc as well) is one and the same.... Ik Onkar, Waheguru, Akal Purakh.</p><p></p><p>I really don't want to get back into the same discussion again since I know several people on here will never leave the simple psychology explanation (states of mind) referring to this one physical life and having nothing to do with actual spirituality etc. Posting a shabad about reincarnation is only asking for an argument again and I'd rather not engage in arguments because I feel its not productive. </p><p></p><p>But here is one, not specifically reincarnation related but does explain that Waheguru IS every character in this reality and always was and always will be (our Ego identity, or experience of being a separate entity is only that we have forgotten who we really are... an actor playing this character). I know some will try to say that the characters are just states of mind... like if I am angry thats a character etc. But I can't see how that fits. </p><p></p><p><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%97%E0%A9%81" target="_blank">ਰਾਗੁ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B8%E0%A9%82%E0%A8%B9%E0%A9%80" target="_blank">ਸੂਹੀ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AE%E0%A8%B9%E0%A8%B2%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank">ਮਹਲਾ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A9%AB" target="_blank">੫ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%98%E0%A8%B0%E0%A9%81" target="_blank">ਘਰੁ </a>੧</p><p>रागु सूही महला ५ घरु १</p><p>Rāg sūhī mėhlā 5 gẖar 1</p><p>Raag Soohee, Fifth Mehl, First House:</p><p></p><p><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A9%B4" target="_blank">ੴ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B8%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%97%E0%A9%81%E0%A8%B0" target="_blank">ਸਤਿਗੁਰ </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AA%E0%A9%8D%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%B8%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%A6%E0%A8%BF" target="_blank">ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ </a>॥</p><p>ੴ सतिगुर प्रसादि ॥</p><p>Ik▫oaʼnkār saṯgur parsāḏ.</p><p>One Universal Creator God.

[QUOTE="Harkiran Kaur, post: 207422, member: 18224"] I am sure I posted full shabads on this before and my full interpretation of them. My view of "reincarnation" as it were or "transmigration" falls in line with Gurbani saying that all is one (generally speaking). The idea of Nirgun / Sargun aspect of Waheguru. Form which emenates from formless. Consciousness being the base of existence and having a real intrinsic connection to matter. So to me, "we" really means Waheguru. And Waheguru has been the 'doer' behind everyone and everything since the inception of the Universe. So my understanding of what transmigration / reincarnation is, does not refer to "separate" souls as if we are all separate entities body jumping after death and starting a new separate life. Rather, the one who continues to exist in every human, is Waheguru. And the only experiencer / doer who has ever existed behind every entity that has ever breathed (and also every inanimate object, plant etc as well) is one and the same.... Ik Onkar, Waheguru, Akal Purakh. I really don't want to get back into the same discussion again since I know several people on here will never leave the simple psychology explanation (states of mind) referring to this one physical life and having nothing to do with actual spirituality etc. Posting a shabad about reincarnation is only asking for an argument again and I'd rather not engage in arguments because I feel its not productive. But here is one, not specifically reincarnation related but does explain that Waheguru IS every character in this reality and always was and always will be (our Ego identity, or experience of being a separate entity is only that we have forgotten who we really are... an actor playing this character). I know some will try to say that the characters are just states of mind... like if I am angry thats a character etc. But I can't see how that fits.
