Sin

[Wicked Warrior]

We are taught not to sin and that we should live a pious life. What constitutes sin?

Some are obvious like murder, adultery and any of the bujjar kurehits. But what of other things? If you have an impure thought about a person, does this constitute sin? Does thinking ill of someone (but neither saying nor doing anything) constitute sin?

I expect lying to be a sin but what about "bending the truth" where what you say is not a lie but not the honest truth?

I understand that as you tread the path of Righteousness, it probably becomes easier to know and recognise but some of us are still stuck in the darkness looking for the light switch.

[Mehtab Singh]

sin = paap = paa + aap

paa = acquire/receive

aap = yourself/by you

paap = all those deeds you did (yourself) which then caused you to earn (acquire/receive) subsequent karams

GURBANI SAYS ONE SHOULD DO SIMRAN BY MAN,BACHAN AND KARAM. REMEBERE GOD IN YOUR THOUGHTS ,IN SPEECH AND IN UR DEED. GOD IS IN ALL OF US. IF V START THINKING THAT FOR WHOM WE R THINKING ILL IS ALSO LIKE ME IS PART OF CREATOR THEN V WILL CERTAINLY RESTRAIN FROM "THOUGHT SINS".
