Oooer, Don't think so. Where is Limbo in the Guru Granth Sahib? Limbo is a Roman Catholic teaching. wacko.gif

You cannot escape karma. You get shoved right back into the body and have to go through it all again.

Whilst there isn't a 'limbo' in the Christian (or RC) sense of the word as you ably pointed out, there is a "state between states" whereby the spirit is capable of wandering. Its why we have ghosts or evil spirits who can't let go of the life that has just finished (or they are unable to move on because they're obsessed with the life just ended (i.e. "All that money I accumulated during life - what will happen to it? I need to stick around to make sure its safe" or "I was very close to a relative of mine. I need to stay with him or her - I don't want to leave") OR someone has messed around with their remains for purposes of....well you know).

There is a certain resting phase that a soul goes through after a life. A time for recollection and contemplation. Its a period during which the soul is asked whether it achieved everything it was meant to during the previous lifetime. Remember, the soul cannot lie or cover it's tracks for a sinful life. Lying, hiding, etc., are all human or corporeal constructs. That's not to say some souls don't try it on because they're still thinking like humans. Little do they know that every truth and every lie, every good thought and every evil thought has been recorded. Transparency is the key - our inner-most secrets (when alive) are no longer secrets.

Only the Truth shall be spoken in the afterlife - whether it hurts or not. If lessons are still to be learnt by the soul, then yes it is time to take birth in another body and attempt to continue the journey of learning.

In life as in death, some peope are quicker to realise the truth than others. If a soul realises there's no fighting the inevitable, it will enter another body pretty quickly. If a soul resists the process, then it takes longer. But one way or another the resisting soul will need to realise of its own volition why it NEEDS to take another rebirth, i.e. what did I do wrong in my previous life so that I've got to go through it all again?

Its not an 'in-out and then in again' process.

For the original poster I'll say this. Now (on this world) your life seems like the be-all-and-end-all. Suicide seems like a sweet release from your problems. But when you do leave this world after committing suicide, you'll come to realise what an absolutely huge mistake you made. Once you see the bigger picture and you've temporarily relieved yourself from the cycle of birth and death, you'll realise what you've done. There is always, always a way out of human problems. The problem is that the solution is sometimes very difficult. Suicide is unthinkable - it really is.

Sikhi and the bhagti path is al about accepting hukam gracefully and living in Truth. One who commits suicide is denying gods hukam, why else did the gurus and sants go through torture rather than give up?

By denying the hukam you are denying your karma and writing your own story, and accumulating so much more karma.

People who commit suicide are put in hell, giving up this precious janam we have worked through 8.4 million lifeforms really doesn't show much common sense.

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.  
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
