[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 132405, member: 138"] Dalbirk ji, Guru Fateh. Thanks for the suggestion, however I beg to differ with you in what you wrote above. What you mention above and what is reincarnation about are two different things. you write: I would like to learn from the learned scholars like G Singh ji and others, what is the true meaning of [U][I][B]SOUL[/B][/I][/U]? What is this [U][I][B]SOUL [/B][/I][/U]that Gurbani talks about so often? Unless we know about its meaning, we can not talk about reincarnation which in essence means taking a bodily shape again. There are many holes according to my way of looking at Gurbani in G Singh's interpretation on reincarnation which for some reasons he calls it incarnation which has a different meaning and the reason of this change is only known to him. I will be dissecting his post step by step, time permitting. Just as a starter, his interpretation of reshaping the iron is incorrect according to me. Iron ore is not for reshaping but for shaping into whatever we want it to. We can only reshape by melting what already had been shaped before. His insistence on garab and joon means that one has to be reborn through the mother's womb does not make any sense either according to Sikhi. I will be doing the interpretation of each Shabad in individual posts. G. Singh ji, as always is welcome here to contest what myself or others who write and may disagree with him. As mentioned before and it is worth mentioning again that Sikhi did not stop in time like many other religions, hence we call it a journey rather than a destination where Hell or Heaven, which are a kind of reincarnation, are waiting for us. The reason of us studying Gurbani daily via Nitnem, Sehaj Paath etc. etc is for us not to become parrots but rediscover ourselves with the help of Gurbani, otherwise the whole effort goes to waste and becomes futile. The rediscovery of the self is to be shared with others. Sikhi is a very practical way of life. Sri Guru Granth Sahib, our tool box and our only Guru helps us do that. So, for me this rediscovery is a reincarnation. Having a different outlook shows on our bodies physically. The inner metamorphosis is manifested in a physical manner. I was talking to my daughter,Jaskeerat about it on the other day who just turned 20 on August 25th. Well, let me correct myself, she was talking about it to me about reincarnation and she had many interesting things to say about it. One of many things she mentioned, one stuck to my heart literally and metaphorically speaking. She told me that my heart problem at the age of 46 and its remedies in a way of looking at life differently was a reincarnation for all 4 of us. Jaskeerat was 12 and Trimaan was 8 then. It changed all of us especially the young kids who had no idea how things would change. For Jaskeerat, every change, every new discovery about herself is the manifestation of reincarnation with which I totally agree with. Same goes for Trimaan who often talks about the day with me teary eyed when I had the V Tach. It affected him so much that he still remembers it and becomes emotional although the episode took place in Jan.2003. A few days ago, I had a shock while at Trimaan's doctor. I had a bottle of water in my hand which flew away. I was fine after that because it hits like a donkey's kick for a second or 2 and then everything becomes normal. Shock is the last resort. The reason I brought this up is because I hate being late at any place and these 2 kids were delaying the process which made me a bit upset. After the episode, they both came to the conclusion that perhaps it was due to being late, their dad had the shock. From that time onwards, they are ready before time. So, for me this is reincarnation in a sense. Reincarnation will have no meaning in our lives if we did not see as an improvement of ourselves than before here and now. The scholars you have mentioned above have contributed tremendously to Sikhi whether one agrees with some or not is not the case. Their contributions should give all of us encouragement to discover new gems in this beautiful Gurbani and we should not be afraid or fearful if we happen to disagree with them because of our own new discoveries. Gurbani is a limitless ore of gems which I am sure, people who follow us will still be discovering something new till the end of times. This is the beauty of Sikhi and being a Sikh. What a blessed way to start our journey anew every time we open the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, our only Guru! Lastly, I would like to add is that all these discussions go to waste if we as Sikhs, are not able to make a difference in the world that we live in now. Making a difference, changing someone's life here and now is reincarnation for me. Regards. Tejwant Singh [/QUOTE]
