i heard this somewhere... made me think alot

sometimes.. like a minute in real life can last hours in a dream..and when you die, your brain is still working for a few hours..(i could be wrong.. but i think it was six) SO... what if this means that THAT is the afterlife or..that we are just living in a dream right now and we are really dead...

Guru Granth Saheb ji says the whole world is a dream, an illusion.

guramath hoe veechaareeai supanaa eihu jag loe

Through the Guru's Teachings, they come to understand and see that this world is just a dream.

Gurbani doesn't mention the afterlife happning while we dream ... i think that's what you mean ( ? )

just remember to jap Naam and focus on learning Gurbani - Guru Ji himself will give you the answers to your questions.

First let us distinguis what is mind and brain and who does the dreaming. You are not brain and your brain is not what we call 'Mun' or Mind. They are two different things. Your brain is a part of your body which is a physical reflection of your Mun. When the body dies, obviously the brain remains in the body, but the 'Mun' leaves along with you(soul). Just as when we feel great love, our physical heart feels the effect of Love, the whole body opens like a flower. This physical reaction is similar to the physical reaction that our Brain has when our 'Mun' is reacting. This Dreaming is done by our 'Mun', not our brain.

Just as the cells in our body continue to function to a certain extent even after the Jivaatma leaves the body. The reaction in our brain could be very similar to car coming to a halt after the driver has jumped out. It is not necessarily working in the understanding that there is still someone on the other end of the brain...the 'mun' and if the mun is there then so must the Jivaatma even after the body has died. As for when exactly does the Jivaatma leave the body, i certainly do not know. As there are obvious cases of when the body has died yet the brain continues to function, perhaps not fully but to an extent and vice-versa.

Afterlife or Praytjoon is the state for Jivaatma and you cannot have Afterlife when the body still contains the Jivaatma. It must die for the Jivaatma to leave and move into the afterlife.

but such is my limited understanding and thoughts......it was a thought provoking question though :wub:

      Traveling in Punjab independently and safely (need good advice)

      By BhForce · Posted

      Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
