Find it funny or not, this is how I see life/GOd/ this whole play of life.

Every film (hindi punjabi or whatever), there is someone who thinks of the idea, then someone who writes the story, someone who helps the production, someone who directs the film making, some dancers and some actors etc. etc.

So in film of life, we are actors, dancers who you see on the screen. But the people behind the screen (writer, director, producer), they are equivalent to One GOD. Don't take me wrong in translating it that they are GOD. But I mean to say that in this play or film of life, its GOD who is behind the screen. Not visible, but is there.

Another example puppet show. The one holding the strings to move the puppets (us) is the GOD.

Hope I am making sense.

The only difference is that we are given this human life as a chance to merge with GOD.

ANother way of seeing it is that drop of water is eventually part of sea. But it got seprated in the form of rain, cloud, in faucet, in pond, in river or stream. But eventually its supposed to get merged with Sea.

So we are drops and GOD is sea.

Another way of looking at it is we are kids and GOD is our mother, our father who created us. We are creation and god is the creator.

Why is it our purpose to find God. Why cannot God and I just both exist...why must we find each other.

u can just both exist. lol. thats wat the entire world is doing right now, letting god just exist. nobody cares about him. but if ur r a guru ka sikh, u will go by the ways of sri guru granth sahib ji. and if u go down that path, u will understand wat ur duty here is to do, to merge again with the one who has created u, along with everybody else u see running around.

so its only a sikhs purpose to find God, as thats wat our maharaj tells us. so if ur not sikh, dont think about this stuff too hard, as it will only make ur more confused. lol.

    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
