Why Do We Exist?

1. Why has god made this universe?

2.Is it just a little play thing for him?

3. Why even exist instead of nothingness?

4. We believe we have been seperated from him but why did he seperated us?

1. God alone only knows, those of us like myself who are not Mahapursh can hardly be in a position to fathom out why.

2. No, Gurbani only refers metaphorically to this being a "play" not literally. Ik Onkar is not a personality that speaks Hebrew, Arabic or Sanskrit gets bored and plays around. The suffering of millions of starving and dying children or victims of Genocide is no act of "playing".

3. Only God knows but if we merge with God we may found out.

4. Who is to say that we were separated deliberately given that separation and re-merger may be the natural nature of existence (God).

dont get it tho, like what was the point in all this... what was there before all universe... was he that bored?

God is above boredom and mundane human thoughts. The whole question interprets God to be some kind of personality when in fact God is all that is good in the Universe and beyond.

5.So why is he playing this game?

6.Why do we need to praise him?

7. Is he that egotistical that he requires our worship?

5. ParmAathma is not "playing" a game like kids play video games. The whole reference to "play" is that life is an illusion.

6. God doesn't need our praise. Prayer and Naam Simran strengthens us in our life. Rabh doesn't need praise like egotistical human beings.

7. Worship of Ik Onkar is best performed by good deeds to others (as Sant Puran Singh Ji Pingalwara showed true Naam Simran)

We don't know the full nature of God, nor the secret of why exactly we exist in this form ... however, thanks to God, we do know our purpose. And our purpose on Earth is to do seva and create a world of Sarbat Da Bhala with no suffering (Global Begumpura) if we wish to merge with God (as with God there is no suffering ... unlike as exists when we are separate from Ik Onkar).

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
