So sad that he passed away. He brought me great comfort.

Its Gods Will and His Joy of seeing HImself through our eyes. Children fall when learning to walk, but we let them. So humans fall when trying to be divine but we have the freedom to do so because ultimately nothing dies, its all One.

Veerji, I'd be foolish if I said that some Sikhs dont believe in re-incarnation. This religion is not about belief its about experience and following. So, not all Sikhs are the same, some Sikhs have had more experience of the One and Naam than others. So just like scientists and science students are different, then in Sikhi, the spiritualists and other Sikhs are different. Now there is not one Great Soul who doubted re-incarnation..wrt Gurbani..listen, accept and follow. Guru is speaking truth

Vaheguru, only Guruji can change lives ji..we can only spread their wisdom.

this brought me to tears. So beautifully explained

It states it again and again all over - the 8.4 million life cycle (Chaurasi lakh joon) is written again and again. Karma and accepting our past life actions affect our current life is key to understanding our present life.

Great Video! I have searched for years now, studying what is the purpose of life, why we are here etc. From my understanding going back to Source is definitely the purpose, but it is also to enjoy this life of form. To live each day in a high state of consciousness by meditating or doing banis. Whenever we are in a high state of consciousness we are aligned with Source, (God). The Ego is our challenge, it will convince us that happiness is money, sex, status. The Ego always forces us to be unhappy and miserable. When we meditate, or read a holy book, or help others, be in joy, present moment and positive state we are living the purpose of life. It's alright to have money, cars, clothes, but always remember that God is the true Joy, everything else is just things.

"game of love"... beautiful explanation. thank you so much.

Interesting im glad I watched this video.

Thank you for all you have done in your life I am going to make you proud waheguru ji ka Khalsa waheguru ja ki fateh 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Veer Ji thanks for the deep understanding of the Guru’s wisdom!

I was watching so many of your videos and I think, this video is really very special. Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh Ji

Wonderful, concise and most importantly, mind blowing!

Thank you VAHEGURU

story of love !! this makes sense

great video wise words

thank you

thanks for answering :)

thanks bhaiji thanks from Delhi I am a south.Indian vasu good luck

Thank you for this video series! I've been interested in Sikhism for quite some time now, and your channel and videos explain so much about this religion :) Just a quick question: what is the language that is spoken in these videos besides English?

Waheguru ji 🙏

We believe in the cycle of re-birth and also that through connecting to God and gaining His Grace, ie Guru's Grace, we can get emancipation from that cycle of rebirth and live an eternal life with God. We dont believe in the day of Judgement etc. But we do believe there will be an end to this world one day, ie Big Bang and Big Crunch, see our video on Sikhism and Science.

God bless u

Waheguru Ji 🙏

His dastar is pretty great. Over at sikhnet under the turban hyperlink, there is an instructional video for this style of wrap...

beautiful! beautiful video, beautiful voice. beautiful message. thank you.

Miss u a lot 😍🤗

Great

A lovely video, in which I learnt a lot from. Thankyou very much for answering a question that many sikhs, including me, ponder on day after day. I wanted to know why, our lord is known as our father, Babaji, is also known as our husband lord?

Waheguruji Ka khalsa Waheguruji Ke Feteh

waheguru

Hi EarthElla, I do think its important to find both a Truly Enlightened Teacher to follow and to find a congregation/ holy company that follows that path. The biggest hurdle in spiritual progress is Ego, or a sense of separateness from divine. Having a Sat Guru (teacher of the Truth - see our video on satguru) and the holy company (sadh Sangat) keeps us humble as we surrender to Guru and learn from our fellow travelers. Also, sadh sangat is like reception to call God. (see our iphone video)

I am scared if i don't achieve purpose of life that is to meet with WaheGuru than i have to go thro 8.4million species cycle. With hard work WaheGuru give me this body, i don't want it to be wasted. Any hints please comment, let's help each other. WAHE-GURU WAHE-GURU "This human body has been given to you. This is your chance to meet God. All other works are of no use. Join the holy congregation and meditate on the Name of God" (Guru Granth Sahib Ji, 12).

good

🙏🙏🙏

Is there a way to meditate according to GGS. Can you make a video on that..

Please tell me where I can buy that shirt from.

i hope you can go far in your jhang. its just amazing pai

Sat Suri Akal Basics of Sikhi. Ive listened to a fair number of videos on your site, very educational and interesting. I do have a question: You mention in this video that the meaning of life is to connect and become one with the divine. Im confused as to why a creator powerful enough to do whatever whenever, would create beings (humans) to make their meaning of their lives to worship and constantly praise and think about… him/her/it! Please understand I am not posting this to disrespect anyone its just a question I've had regarding all religions. I was born and raised in a sikh household and there are aspects of sikhism which resonate with me, but then there are issues like the one I mentioned above which troubles me… IF there is a creator why would they want to play such games with us, (if we don't believe or try and connect with it then we get re-incarntated over and over or go to hell etc etc depending on which religion is to be believed) I would have thought if there is a creator, then this creator would be more interested in creating beings to just explore and learn about them selves and others and the universe as the main purpose of there existence, (self-fulfilment in regards to learning and seeking the truth through science and direct experience) then when the being passes away meets the creator to talk about there discoveries of them selves and the creator work?!?! Just an idea. I look forward to your reply. PS Also I watch and read a lot of debates on religion and atheists especially Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris to name a few and I am a little disappointed that Sikhs don't appear to take part in such debates and Dialogues which I think is important for people to watch and learn about there own position and how they feel and believe. IF there are some please can you recommend such debates. Thanks For your time.

the chant very pleasant, where can I download?

I want to take amrit but I don't want to leave my bf, and he don't want to take amrit right now please ans me what should I do.. But I really want to take amrit

Hi Basics of Sikhi I had a question regarding the purpose of life. You state that the ultimate purpose of life is to connect with the divine. We have been separated from the divine and in this life we must connect with the one to rejoin, or we will be reincarnated to try again possibly. If we came from the one why are we reconnecting with the one, as we are the one or at least part of it? What is the reason to be born and the divine not allowing us to remember who we are and/or where we are from. The glass of water analogy used... why isnt the glass of water allowed to know that it is from the ocean without needing faith and others telling it that it is so... the glass of water is part of the one so whilst separated for whatever reason and before reconnecting, cant that glass of water enjoy the experiences of that brief exsistence it has and experience the joys of what that separation also bring and exploration in front of it? No disrespect but it could sound alittle silly that a divine being creates being only for the being to worship "it" and that is there main point of being.... there is so much more for that being to explore, the wonders the divine has created, the universe, the sub atomic world to discover, the jot of discovery and then when reconnecting would be the point when the exciitng conversations about that discovery can be had..... if there is a divine creator im not sure it is so egotistic to want its creation just worship it day and night... it has given us so much to look and and experience... and I would have thought he would from birth let us know for 100% fact that he is there without us having to take it on faith and other peoples word for it. Thoughts?

I agree. And the 8.4 mil types of beings is just a reference to the Indian estimate of total species on earth, similar to 9 treasures, etc. It was characteristic of the Vaisheshika thought to come up with numerical counts. We now know the number to be not true, though it's a good estimate. When gurbani says 84 lakh joon upayee, rijak diya sabooh ko tadka..it's only a poetic way of expressing that God has created all and cares for all, not necessarily that there are precisely 8.4 million species

I was once a glass of water. Wise words

Veerji, when you get a chance, could you please respond to my question?

Hi there, what are the Sikh beliefs on the afterlife?

Rest Easy

What is point in first de-merging and then again merging.

Who was t first guru answer my question

When one merges back.....does one lose individuality?

Questions for ya, Why there is no guru after the 11th?

Sir I have a ouestion..u told that we separated from lord like A glass of water separated from ocean ..but why we separated from true god..I understood the purpose of life.. however , if we merge in lord at the end. So why we separated in beginning??plz reply .

Singh Saahb Ji, what I don't get (when in my philosophical state of mind), is that if we came to the Earth in this life to follow and worship "The Divine" or "ONE", why did "Waheguru" send us here in the first place? Why did "Waheguru" want to create a world and then send "beings" on it just to praise Him? Sometimes I plainly just think, "Oh, it's all just His game. We're mere pawns. Being moved and put in the "game" whenever and however He feels like it." So I just simply concluded that we don't know and never will (well... until we die?). Yes, it answers the question, "What is the purpose of life?". But the answer for it spawns further questions such as "Why did ONE do so?" Coming back to the point I started this conversation in the first place. Why would ONE do this?

what is in it for god to create a loop and make a portion of him pass through the loop until the portion realizes that it is a portion of god. and it gets the opportunity to do this in 1/8.4 billion part of the loop, the remaining time it has no point of existence than to survive and reproduce . nd if god is omnipotent, omnipresent and has complete control of time and space, he would know when the portion of him would join him back. i see a paradox here, could you please explain?

Does anyone know who wrote the following story? I think it was a Bhagat. Im not sure. A business man meets a holy man. The holy man tells the businessman that you can have all the richest goods if you go up the mountains with me. They both go to a stop and get goods, but the holy man says lets go more up and you will get more riches. The businessman says he is tired, but will go. So they go the second stop and get more richess, but the holy man says lets go more up. The businessman says how can I get any richer. But but the holy man says trust me. Both finally reach the third stop. The Businessman sees nothing but a stream of water. The businessman get angered and say nothing is here. The holy man responds "look at the water". Both look at the water and both reflection of them are of the holy man.

sat sri akal ji,i have my silly ques please reply ,if we are here to get back to creator then why was there separation in the first place?,why did HE create life?why 8400000 joons,gurmat says its a game He plays and HE doesnt need this game of life also,gurmat also says this life is a pain(dukh) then why go through all this ?

Veerji, thank you for the hard work you do. It's really great to see your passion. However, from your presentation a viewer could conclude that all Sikhs believe in literal reincarnation, which is not true. There are many Sikhs who do like you and my parents and there are many, like myself, who believe that Gurbani does not promote literal reincarnation but uses it as a metaphor. If you could mention that you represent your own interpretation of Sikhi and the majority's that would be great.

If we were already connected with the divine why are we all of a sudden not connected?

Another shabad is: Apeene bhog bhogkeh, hoye bhasmad bhaur sidhaya. Vadha hoya dunidaar, gal sangal ghat chaleya. Agge karnee kirat vachiyeh, beh lekha kar samjaya. Thoun na hovee poundee, hun suniye kya ruayeah. Mann andhe janam gavaya. Another is: Nanak jee upaye keh, likh naave dharam bahaleya. Othe sache hee sach nibedeh, chun vakh kadhe jajmaleya. Thoun na payean, moh kaale Dozak chaleya.

What's the name of this man?

He name?

Har so heera chaad ke, kareh aan ki aas. Te nar Dozak jahenge, sat bhaakhe Ravidas. Gehban, hehvan haraam kustani murdaar bakhorai. Dil kabz kabza, kadro dozak sajaye. Vali niyat biradra darbar milak khanaye, Jab Azrayeel bastani tab ch kare bidaye. There are countless other shabads regarding judgement and hell. My point is really that Gurbani shouldn't be interpreted literally. If we do, we'll find contradictions. But contradictions and Poora Guru don't go hand in hand.

im confused do sikhs believe in rebirth or do they believe in a day where the earth will vanish and we will get our result of our actions?

Singh sahab please speak Hindi we are unable to understand English

Merge? But you reincarnated so you come back. And circle begins again?

No man can control on himself every thing is in the God's (Akaal Purakh )Hand's Guru Sahib says Tud Sansar Upaia sire sir Dhande Laiah, One more shabad try to listen Dori Hath Tumare Prabh Dori Hath Tumare jee jant tere dhri soi krawe jo Tud bhawe listen and understand meanings of this Gurbani Shabad every one looks bad things others but never look their own mitakes which they did or doing

Ive just found out that har krishan was only 7 when he died

I agree with that you said in the general sense. We do need to spend this life connecting to the creator and sustainment of life. God. The problem you have as a Sikh is that Sikhs are not spiritually enlightened. Doing certain things and practicing certain things make you a Sikh., But what it truly means to connect to God. Is connecting to God through His Spirit. Sikh do not believe this to my knowledge. If so how. Identification and connection to God, is being like God and having His mindset. The Holy Spirit of Christianity does this. But Sikhism does not.

Do Sikhs consider Guru Nanak God on earth?

Thoun na payean kudeyar, moh kaale dozak chaleya *

Why some gurdwara shows more love than others

Being a muslim and speaking to other muslims, they inform them that all other religions are wrong and will go to Hell. Can this be true

What I dont understand is that if you are saying that the point of life is to connect back with the 'creator', isnt that going to happen regardless when we die? Isnt the question, what are we supposed to do in life?

Very nice! Wahe guruji ka khalsa wahe gurji ki fate! Hate krishna!

Khalsa ji, I only used the word "believe" because you yourself said " we believe in cycle of birth and re-birth." I actually have no complaints. You are representing the mainstream's view. It just so happens that I don't agree with it, but I respect it as I respect other religious views. I do have one question for you. You said that "we" don't believe in judgement day nor heaven hell but reincarnation yes. For that, you say there are many shabads in Gurbani. Ran out of character limit

If we are 'separate' and need to merge yet there is only Ik Onkar, the Totality then why would the WaheGuru have created us as separate ? Our delusion of separation must have a purpose. Our journey to enlightenment much have a purpose. The WaheGuru did not create The Universe, Physics created The Universe. The WaheGuru created the starting conditions and the rules..physics does the rest. What if we are being 'farmed' what if the WaheGuru sows the seed that becomes the universe and we grow and some who reach perfect ripeness are harvested to...to..to move up to another level. Some are ploughed back into the soil of existence. Just a thought.

Sikh means sensitive.

Do sikhs need to wear a head covering, or is this a punjabi cultural thing?

pmkc

With due respect I would like to say that you are not totally correct. Thought you seems to reached the 99% level but still their is a gap of 1%. I would like to discuss with you so as to bring more clarity. Further as KZfaq is being viewed by many if we do not say 100% correct we are misguiding the world about Sikhism. Today with technology we can easily chat & clarify the concept and share the right concept with the world.

Fake accent 🤣 i m about to ask you a question you may not be able to answer i feel bad asking this question but what does your explored m sorry but you being guru plz explanation 🙏

Sin is universal problem. Sin is ubiquitous. Humanity contaminated by sin. Sin in us by default, not learnt, not taught. Sin manifests in many forms - evil, crime. Sin is the opium. The origin of sin is unanswered. My journey. Sin is pre-existing in all. Nobody taught us to sin. Sin pre-dates The Bible. The Bible explains origins of sin. The Bible provides remedy for pre-existing sin, through Jesus Christ death and resurrection. The Bible is best selling book in the world for this reason. Sin is real, The Bible is relevant. Sin is born at every child birth. Sin is disease of heart, and Jesus Christ is the cure. Satan is the enemy, came to steal, kill and destroy. Misleads us to blame good loving God. God is not the author of evil. Media, Police, Defense, Judiciary, Penitentiary, Security, Contracts confirm sin exists. The origins of life, natural laws, sin, morals, purpose, meaning, conscience, music, creativity, intelligence, beauty, color, nature, water, air, light and amalgamation, remain unevidenced - elsewhere. We love truth when it enlightens us, but hate when it convicts us. Instructing to "Heart wash" from sin is not "Brainwash". God created universe, placed natural laws, made humans in His image, gave talents, instructed to multiply and explore - The Initiation of Science. Science is the legitimate child of natural laws. Without natural laws science has no foundation. We are created with good purpose and meaning. We are good. Then sin entered through satan and we all fallen. Disease, despair, deformities, deficiencies, depression, stress, guilt, greed, hate, anger, rebellious spirit, spiritual death entered. Sin plays spoilsport. Unloose the Soul from the tight knot of sin. Soul outlasts death. Sinners cannot save themselves from sin. Jesus Christ, the Holy God, intervened, willingly died on The Cross and resurrected, for remmissions of our sins, to save us from sin and hell. We are weak at the core, however we try to portray otherwise. We need Holy God's help, who is willing to help with open arms. Unable to find any motive any reason for Jesus Christ to die willingly on Cross and resurrect - except His love to save us from pre-existing sin and hell. Nobody died for our sins and resurrected - except Jesus Christ. Exclusivity Jesus Christ claimed: "I am The Way, The Truth and The Life". "I am The Resurrection and The Life". "I am The Good Shepherd". Jesus Christ has the authority to forgive sins. Religion says "Do". Jesus Christ says "Done". Religion is man's attempts to 'search gods'. Jesus Christ came from heaven in 'search of man'. Salvation from sin and hell is not earned through works or deeds or pilgrimages or rituals or ceremonies or traditions or cultures or meditations or public displays or hypocrisy or making personal sacrifices or making animal sacrifices. Salvation from sin and hell is free, but not cheap. Because Jesus Christ laid His life on The Cross, and resurrected. God loves the sinner, but hates the sin. Just like a parent loves child, but hates disease in child. We are saved by God's grace, not by our works. Karma is getting what we deserve. Grace is getting what we don't deserve. Only Grace can be pre-fixed with word Amazing. Amazing Grace. Karma is not Amazing, it is depressing. GRACE: Getting what we don't deserve - i.e. forgiveness of sin, eternity in heaven through Jesus Christ. MERCY: Not getting what we deserve - i.e. punishment of sin, separation from God, eternity in hell. Other side of death is eternity. Either in hell; or in heaven through Jesus Christ. God offers grace and mercy for free through Jesus Christ death and resurrection. Jesus Christ suffered, ridiculed, spat-on, humiliated, crucified on The Cross, and therefore He understands our pain. He raised victorious, we will too. Those who endure till end are victorious. Jesus Christ coming again to judge all. The doors will be closed. Jesus Christ reveals every mystery, answers every question. We all deserve to know the truth. He is The Alpha and The Omega. He judges everyone. One day every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. The First Christmas - Jesus Christ came to earth from heaven to save us from pre-existing sin. The First Good Friday - Jesus Christ crucified to The Cross, died willingly for remission of our sins. The First Resurrection Day, also linked to Easter - Jesus Christ resurrected from death. Jesus Christ made entry to Holy Heaven free through Him. Repent of sin and be saved. Easy. The First Coming of Jesus Christ - He is Lamb, slaughtered for remission of sins to save us from sin and hell. And resurrected. The Second Coming of Jesus Christ - He will be Lion, The Judge. The Lamb and The Lion. Jesus Christ forgave all who crucified Him, and now forgives all, even who reject, ridicule and mock Him. He loves all unconditionally. Believe, trust, repent of pre-existing sin in Jesus Christ that He died for remission of our sins and resurrected, and coming back to judge, accept Him as Lord and Saviour, and be saved from sin and hell. Any time, any where. Even now. Simple. Nothing to lose, everything to gain. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. I found God loved me regardless of sins, weaknesses and rejections by others. As sinner I cannot save myself through deeds. He believed me and has faith in me. I am not in competition with others. God loves you all, individually. (My journal. Journey to life - after testing all 'isms' and religions, after failing to find origins, purpose and meaning of life, after swallowing pride, egos, anger, hate, depression.)

Wow so sad he thaught we've been reincarnated. What would be the purpose for over n over youd never get it right n you can't choose what yiu become. So where do yiu go after you pass this life? And who is the Almighty that is the question. The Guru's have lied to you all culture and religious traditions have made yiu blind to a real God that created you and loves yiu fir your purpose. Which is to Glorify him and bring all men to the knowlege of his saving grace before they die. Happiness comes n goes like your feelings but there is a place where you will be forever with him in his Kingdom Heaven!!!! Repent of natural/ original sin and accept lord Jesus and be redeemed from the dark/ selfish/unrighteous life to be born again and redeemed!!!!! Rom 10:9-10 Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. Mathew 6:33 God Bless

not even one word made sense. just a waste of time 🤣

A lovely video, in which I learnt a lot from. Thankyou very much for answering a question that many sikhs, including me, ponder on day after day. I wanted to know why, our lord is known as our father, Babaji, is also known as our husband lord?
