[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 196165, member: 16886"] I agree absolutely. The old concepts and ideas of mukti were all on the idea that the liberation, salvation, nirvana..etc.. could only happen after one was 'free' from this life. They made it sound as if all the oneness, realization, unity..etc.. would happen 'after'. This itself gives a slight negative stance to our life now. -As if there is light only at the end of the tunnel(life) and you will have to wait until you get there, providing you stay in the right tunnel ! To me, Guruji simply says [I]''Why Not ?, Why wait until you reach the end ?[/I]'' [I]You can experience the anand of the light while you are still in the life tunnel, you don't have to reach the end(meaning death), You don't have to reach the end to experience it''[/I] I said that jivan mukti should not be considered as [I]''the be all and end all[/I]'' meaning that we shouldn't create our own road blocks. He is nirankar, timeless, formless, without any limitations whatsoever. So if we can never know the limitations, then we should be careful of thinking of anything as the be all and end all. We are in the bounds of time here and we don't know what happens with the formless,timeless, soul or consciousness. We are in this kapra of a body, that itself is given according to karma ([I]karmi avai kaprah[/I], nadri mokh duar). When we leave the kapra, then only he knows what the fate is next, we can't decide or plan that here. I believe that eventually we fully merge, considering your way up on that conscious/soul evolving process. We are the jyot saroop, therefore, there would come a point eventually where we are completely advait(non-dual) and have no identity of self whatsoever. This is when the pure jyot merges and only ONE light remains. That's your understanding as far as you know, and I explained a little of mine about this above. As I said, I understand that my consciousness/soul/jyot is eternal and beyond any limitations. I've already said that I don't agree or understand how that could be. To me, death, is of the body kapra (and organs) only. The way I see it, is that Life and death are dualities that we only experience in this time bound world. When we are no more, then we are not subject to dualities. But the consciousness was never subject to any duality, as it was just masked according to the will of our mind. Also, because there is no opposite of consciousness/soul/jyot, so it is out of the confines of duality just as the Lord himself. This body bound and covered consciousness is a minuscule part of the larger conscious. Don't you agree ?? That part of the shabad is about the realms or states of consciousness, (5 khand) that itself has been debated on many other threads of this forum. I have never noted any aspect of reincarnation or live forever message. Agree, absolutely ! Again, it's about dualites, which can all be synonymous. A world of opposites, including the way we act and conduct ourselves. ABSOLUTELY ! We are only fooling ourselves if we think we can know and plan our liberation and merging with him. We can make the damned start right now and aim for it whilst alive. I like what you said above, because we are using the same EGO to make the plans for after death, whereas Guruji says that if you KILL the very EGO, and obviously still remain alive(breathing and in the sareer), you can still get to experience the freedom of liberation/salvation/mukti/moksha..etc.. Kill the same EGO that fools you into thinking the light is only seen at the end. Once this can be killed, then the jyot can be seen,felt and experienced whilst in the middle of the tunnel. However, as we will still get to this life-tunnel end once the kapra goes, only He knows what happens or what we experience, which is why I say don't make jivan mukht a road block 'as the be all and end all' NOTE- we have many accounts of people from all faiths having near death experiences and out of body...etc...and some of them experience or see the light, see angels, see jesus, see loved ones, ..see heavenly paradise...etc... BUT no one, absolutely No one, comes back and says, they merged in it's entirety. Most of them claim to be nearing it and nearing it, and wanting to get as close to it, but then they come back. Therefore, if one did merge, in all completeness, then they become GOD or the light itself and can't obviously come back to tell the experience, since no identity or subtle ego even remains. You both hammered and nailed it there !!:icecreammunda: I've tried to explain this previously but could never find the words and explanation as simple as you made it ! A sikh is to learn,learn,learn and continue learning. This is why we have to be careful of ego, telling us to make only logic out of everything. I feel that the soul can continue to be learning long after death of the kapra-body. We have to be careful not to make any preconceptions of finite, and this includes making the decision that there may or maybe reincarnation. Even making the decision that it all becomes 'kaput' and that nothing shall remain except worm food, is still the same EGO assuming the timeless aspect or work of God. We should just get on with it ourselves and try and find out what jivan mukti is about. I hope I've made myself a little clearer as to what I exactly meant with what i said in the earlier posts. I know some of you are under some impression that i've been possessed or brainwashed with something. [/QUOTE]
