[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 161043, member: 16886"] [b]Re: Lessons from god- what happens when we die- where could we go- what is attachment & detachment[/b] Amarjit ji I say yet again, I do understand what you are trying to say in the original post. It is in your own style of writing and all of us each have our own different styles. I think that after getting into the swing or wavelength of the others style it becomes easier to get their message. Maybe its just me? I'm not sure, although if I don't get the message, then I will say. I have studied nearly all my life and even did graphology along the way, perhaps it's that? Getting back to the topic. What happens when we die? I did at one time often question- 'is this life all there is?' What is the real purpose of why i'm here? because everything that I would look at around me be it trees,insects, fruit, nature they each and all had their very own purposes. This often got me wondering that why me, just myself among all fellow humans is my purpose?? Thankfully, I don't wonder about these things any more, well maybe just a little at times. It has all been thanks to the faith. The Guru Granth Sahib still keeps on giving me more answers. Waheguru. Talking to many others, I'm aware that the interest in knowing what happens when we discard our body like a shell is vast among us. Perhaps, knowing what could happen makes the individual a better being? Lets say, I can commit crimes here with confidence of not getting caught. But, knowing that after my death, I may have to face the lord and I may be begging for forgiveness. [B]Just knowing this[/B], could infact stop me taking any action to commit crimes, even though I may be a professional crime lord. What I'm trying to say is that -YES, knowing can be of benefit. However, NOT KNOWING may be of benefit as well, - as one would try and maximise their achievements in this life span. Having the 'we are not supposed to know' attitude could even be beneficial. [I]I think that what ever we think we know or believe is always going to do some GOOD- as long as it brings out the BEST OF US in one way or the other.[/I] With my upbringing as a child I was taught about going to heaven, angels, the lord, gates of heaven, St Peter, etc. (from christian influence). In all honesty whether it was christian or not, it taught me and bought out the best of me grew into this world. As a child, knowing that if i'm good the angels will protect me, certainly influenced the making of my character today. To me personally, I never think that this life is all there is. I feel that death is just the beginning NOT the end. Just to have the belief and awareness that after death, I can have the chance to unite with God providing I have lived this life the accepted, intended and pleasing way. This simple motive gives me everlasting hope and awareness. I also feel that it is just attachments that give us all a fear of death. ie. fear of leaving loved ones, how will they cope ? How much estate the goverment taxes will take off the family?-- ALL attachments that in our minds we have attached great importance to. According to the hukam of God, I believe we all have our own distinct times mapped out by the lord. Not knowing this date and time should encourage us all to make the most of each day. We should also try to control our holds over the attachments. This is the part that does sometimes get me thinking. Let me be a little clear- Having control over the attachments, be it our immediate family. Let's say my kids and my partner. How do I exactly draw the line, if any, of how attached I am to my blood family? Being prepared to detach is sometimes not imaginable. I mean Guru Gobind Singh actually knew that in the name of faith he would be detached from his sons Ajit,Jujhar,Zorawar and Fateh Singh. All young and loveable to him. Guru Gobind Singh ji set us the ultimate example, but still we are too weak, not many of us could detach from our children in the same manner. Not forgetting he lost his father in the same manner. I'll be honest, I could never make such a difficult decision so as to sacrifice my kids. Having that example should be goals that we could all aim for. Getting back, I was trying to say, that we are also to show love to all mankind. God doesn't expect us NOT to love our children. But, where do we draw the fine line between attachment/detachment and love? This is my concern. Because having love results in attachment. Or are we supposed to have love with no or minimal attachment somehow?? I would appreciate some views and thoughts. Sat kartar Lucky Singh [/QUOTE]
