I think best books on this are Bhai randhir singh jees books also last years khalsa camp was a brilliant insight into life after death etc.

we go through many life forms before we are blessed with form of a human. Gurbani talks of churasi lukh joon and in this life form depending on our past action basically we are reeping what we have sown in the past. now ths life form we are here sowing for our future we have the choice to be blessed with amrit and naam. by jaaping naam, reciting gurbani we are able to wash away our sins of past and able to sow our future. this is our time to meet our ultimate aim and become one with vaheguroo

Karma is most complex its not just based on the physical action of good and bad as we define it in our limitations, but also karma of the mind as one example can be more complex and often more negative or positive consequences. By that I’m not implying some one plots your highs and lows of life in the heavens like Greek Gods! Ultimately the limitations of the physical until recognised its an addition to the prolonged Karmic formula. Understanding the unlimited is key to cracking the karmic code. Awareness is available to all as the first step. The Guru is liberation dispeller of darkness also available to all which ever path chosen and is necessary. It is incredible how much an individual able to do instantly just by throwing a spanner in the works of your own existence which is just an illusion a collective of moments just gone, so is your personality or who you claim is you. Behind your face there could be thousands of others, all of which were also you. Separate from I, forget you as you are just a concoction of the bigger illusion.What is the unconscious what is conscious?

Hang on this is sounding like the matrix! :umm: sorry just kidding!

that’s all I can say without offending people here.

An answer I usually refer people to:

To answer this question we first need to understand how the system of karma works. There is three kind of karma (karams)

1) The actions that we are currently.

2) The actions we did previously but we have not suffered the consequences of those karma yet.

3) The actions that we did previously and we have been ordained by Vaheguru to suffer those in this life.

Let us take an example of a bank account. Say prior to your birth in this life, you had total of 100 karma outstanding i.e. you haven't suffered consequence of 100 karma yet. At that point assume that Vaheguru ordained that since 100 karma are impossible to payoff in one lifetime, he decrees that you have to reap the fruits of 25 karma out of 100 karma.

The 25 karma that have been written on your forehead for this life cannot be changed and the gurbani pankitis like "Lekh naa matayee hay Sakhi, jo likhiya Kartaar" refer to these kind of karma (called Pralabhadh Karma).

The 75 karma outstanding and that have not been decreed by Vaheguru, are called Sanchit Karma and these karma are the first ones to burn when we do naam abhyaas. Pankitis like "Gur kaa shabad kaatay kot karam", (The shabad of Guru destroys tens of millions karma) pertain to these kind of karma.

The Pralabadh Karma (25 karma) cannot be erased but the effect of those karma can be minimized through baani. There are many saakhis to prove this. One of the saakhis is where Sooli (death by hanging) was changed to just a sool (small cut in foot) because of sangat of Guru Nanak Dev jee.

Based on our Pralabhad Karma (25 karma) we are put in situations and our reaction in those situations make up for our vartamaan karma i.e. the karma or actions that will determine our future. For example, based on our Pralabadh karma (25 karma) say you become poor and have lot of debt. One is poor because of his or her karma but if because of the situation arising from Pralabadh karma, we start stealing or do other kind of sinful karma, then we will be building bad karma. We don't have any control over Pralabadh karma but we have freewill on how we are going to react in this situation.

People talk about kismat, taqdeer or bhaag. Kismat, taqdeer of bhaag is nothing but our past karma. Our present condition is the direct reflection of our past karma. If one is rich, one is because of good karma in the past but most of the times, rich people end up in hell because where they become rich or king because of good karma, there they also commit a lot of sin when they become king or are at other places of authority. These bad karma done in the intoxication of authority or money leads them to hell. Our Tadbeer (present karma) shape our future just as our past karma shaped our present. In reality all that we have is present. Past is a dream and future is also a dream. The past was enjoyed or suffered as present and the future will be enjoyed or suffered by us as present So really all that exists is this moment of present. Everything else is now a dream.
