I’m short for time, but I wanted to get this point across. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I have researched that there is no ‘heaven’ or ‘hell’ in the live of Sikhs.

I have seen a number of Sikhs making statements about going to heaven or hell; but what I’ve heard is that we do not believe in ‘heaven’ or ‘hell’ is a concept created through Christianity and also is referred in islam.

The reason being is that heaven creates an image in one’s mind of a beautiful place, where everything is perfect and glorious, yet this would also create imagery in the minds which leads to lust that intoxicates the mind just like any other intoxicating substances. Sikhs must remain focused on god with a clear mind and no other thoughts.

We Sikhs die, our soul reunites with god, our body is burnt away like an empty shell, whilst our soul reunites with god in the same way how a rain drop reunites back with into the sea. If we were to do wrong, we would not go to ‘hell’, but would be ‘incarnated’ - this differs from ‘re-incarnation from Hinduism’ as we come back in human form to live another life, a cycle of endless lives that go no where but in circles.

I just wanted to get this point across to people. Please correct me if I am wrong but this is how I see the concepts of heaven and hell in accordance to sikhi.
