[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 215613, member: 138"] Simranjit ji, Guru Fateh. The confusion lies in the understanding the difference between the acknowledgement of this ingrained belief in Hinduism which is based on caste system and its acceptance in Sikhi. One thing important to notice in this belief is that a Brahmin will always be reincarnated as Brahmin. The same is true for the low caste people who will never be able to step up on the ladder of the caste system. The verse above shows the acknowledgement of the belief in Hinduism but rejects this very belief in Sikhism provided one follows the Sikhi path. Secondly, the Shabad by Bhagat Ravi Das that Original posted in his post #18 says the same thing. Its translation has been distorted by Original, perhaps due to his lack of Gurmukhi skills or lack of his understanding of Gurbani, or both. One has to learn the history of Bhagat Ravi Das to understand what this low caste cobbler is trying to convey. In a nutshell, Bhagat Ravi Das, who was born during the time of Guru Nanak is talking in the above verse how fed up he is with the belief in reincarnation because he would always be a cobbler no matter how many times he is reborn. Hence he is pleading with the One Source to help him get rid of this wretched belief. So, the above claim by [USER=14400]@Original[/USER] is not a Sikhi concept but a Hindu one which is not surprising because this kind of Hindu belief is not uncommon in Original's posts for some reason. His posts are filled with Hindutva sprinkled with some Sikhi here and there. In fact, Original's claim here makes no sense and is rather self-contradictory. As per Original's above claim, the belief in reincarnation has been diluting for 500 years. Sikhi started about 500 some years ago yet he fails to find the connection between the two, which is expected. If reincarnation is accepted in the SGGS, our only Guru, as per [USER=14400]@Original[/USER], then why would the belief be diluted because Gurbani can never be diluted? Does he not believe in the SGGS, our only Guru, anymore? I hope [USER=14400]@Original[/USER] would respond to these contradictions and why his lack of faith/belief in the SGGS, our only Guru, by claiming that people do not believe in our Guru's teachings so fervently as they did 500 years ago. In closing, I would say that Sikhi does acknowledge this Hindu belief of reincarnation like it does many other beliefs from Hinduism and the Abrahamic religions but rejects it in Sikhi by giving us tools to get rid of carrying this cross for all our lives. One thing worth repeating is that the acknowledgement of a belief in other religions is not acceptance of the same in Sikhi. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
