First and foremost let me welcome you to SPN and thank you for taking part in an ongoing discussion. welcomekaur welcomekaur welcomekaur
The Sikh Rehat Marayada cautions against these practices in no uncertain terms. The message of Guru Nanak was to raise us above this.
This is my understanding as a person with formal training and an advanced degree in psychology. THE POWER OF THE HUMAN MIND TO DELUDE ITSELF IS IMMENSE. There are times when people are so frustrated and frightened they can be convinced to believe in magic because it gives them a sense of control over the unknown. There is also such a things as mass neurosis - participation neurosis to be more precise.
When people believe in devils it turns out that there are many recorded cases of possession by devils.When people do not believe in devils the reports are few to nil. This is the mind tricking itself. And it brings humans down to the lowest level of consciousness. We can go to our graves stuck in these samskars.
Guru Nanak gave the way to move to a higher level. Let us pray that more and more often his message is taken seriously and followed to the liberation of our souls.
