[QUOTE="ExploringSikhi, post: 189609, member: 19734"] Thank you for posting everyone! @spnadmin ji, thank you for clearing up what you meant, it makes a lot more sense after your last post above. Sorry I did not reply sooner, I have been busy with University registration and shopping for supplies :winkingmunda: That being said, it is things like the bold part above that tend to confuse me, it (bold part above) sounds like Guru Nanak ji was actually talking to God, the same way Moses talked to God as per Jewish teachings. Which leads me to my next point, why is there so much disagreement among Sikhs when it comes to the interpretation of Guru Granth Sahib Ji? I do not believe Sikhi advocates reincarnation/heaven/hell because of the writings of Professor Baldev Singh, he is of the belief that it goes against Nanakian Philosophy. That being said, this is the only sangat I have ever been a part of that rejects the belief in reincarnation or some form of reward/punishment in the afterlife. Why is this? I was discussing this very issue with a few Sikhs last week and was branded a "heretic", someone even said I had been brainwashed and was not learning the true teachings of Sikhi. After reading Professor Baldev Singh's work, I guess I went through Guru Granth Sahib Ji with a bias and read every shabad in a way that would fit my preconceived notions of what the Gurus were trying to say. I always read it in a way so that reincarnation/heaven/hell applied to this life, and not the next. And it wasn't just a one time thing either, I have been told multiple times by Sikhs in the past that my beliefs about Sikhi were wrong, that they were too "Atheistic", that I was changing Sikhi and had strayed from the message of the Gurus. So, pretty much, how do you guys know that your "version" of Sikhi is right, so far Professor Baldev Singh is the only "scholar" I have come across who would agree with the members of SPN about miracles/reincarnation/heaven/hell, everyone else would disagree, and the Sikhs I know in real life would disagree. And perhaps it is a discussion for another day, but really quick without getting into too much detail, what is the general SPN consensus on the Dasam Granth? Some Sikh told me about how there is something in there about Guru Gobind Singh Ji being the reincarnation of Krishna, so do you think it has been changed? If you disregard it, what about Banis such as Japu Sahib, isn't that something Sikhs are supposed to read on a daily-basis? So do the practicing Sikhs of SPN who think Dasam Granth was changed also not recite Japu Sahib? Thank you and Sat Sri Akal. [/QUOTE]
