  1. According to my understanding, ape beej ape khao bachan is matter of doer ship, if you do the actions with doership*/identity/ego then cycle of karma ensues then you will get fruit based on those actions. But if you allow actions spontaneously coming directly from consciousness then its direct expression of that consciousness-vahiguru- everything is expression of divine. Sukhmani sahib talks about this over and over again - how vahiguru is doing everything, enjoying, expressing itself. There is only one and there is no one besides one. Regarding- Akhan jor gurbani vak- it alludes to the point there is no free will everything is per-odained- you can will what you want but you cannot will what you will which means backdrop of everything is pre-determined*. Doership* Ang-278 ਜਬ ਇਹ ਜਾਨੈ ਮੈ ਕਿਛੁ ਕਰਤਾ ॥ जब इह जानै मै किछु करता ॥ Jab ih jānai mai kicẖẖ karṯā. As long as this mortal thinks that he is the one who does things, ਤਬ ਲਗੁ ਗਰਭ ਜੋਨਿ ਮਹਿ ਫਿਰਤਾ ॥ तब लगु गरभ जोनि महि फिरता ॥ Ŧab lag garabẖ jon mėh firṯā. he shall wander in reincarnation through the womb. *Pre-determined https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqLDWyk1uLQ Science experiment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ4nwTTmcgs

  3. I think doaba has always been cut out from the rest of punjab, it's like a extention of punjab, that's why our dialect is different. I read doaba people historically had close ties with people from neighbouring himachal towns.

  4. I think I have read about that, where guru arjan dev ji visited and gave some of his belongings. I think every area of punjab has been blessed by a visit by the gurus and has a historical gurdwara. Hoshiarpur isn't that far from nawanshahr and they have gurdwara harian belan where guru har rai ji visited though I have never been. Yeah our area doaba is mainly hindu, even the pinds have very big hindu populations many pinds are predominately hindu. My dad's pind is mainly sikh jatt while my mum's pind is majority chamar and other dalits communities. Before partition doaba especially jalandar had a massive paki population but they were all driven out , which is good. A few pinds near my dad's pind are mainly muslim pinds. My dad's chacha was telling my about the violence he saw. He told me he remembers raped muslim girls hiding in the fields and muslim caravans being set on fire while they were trying to leave. But it's good they left But I think doaba always has been a hindu area with a large paki population which left during the partition sikhs always been a small % Amritsar, gurdaspur and tarntaran are the real sikh strong holds I think

  5. I don't think we have free will , just like we cannot stop breathing by our own will, breathing occurs spontaneously and naturally, there is no will either way to stop breathing by body even if he tries to hold breathing , one cannot do it indefinitely. This topic reminds me of quote by Einstein: you could will what you want but you cannot will what you will. Back drop is preordained. Good thread on sa regarding this: http://www.sikhawareness.com/topic/15329-does-waheguru-do-everything/
