ਜੇ ਸਾਰੀ ਖੇੜ ਕਰਮਾ ਦੀ ਹੈ , ਤੇ ਫੇਰ ਰਹਿਮਤ ਕਿਥੇ ?

Its an established axiom in indian faiths (that includes sikhism) that whatever we sow, we shall reap. Accordingly , good karams fetches happiness , bad karams fetches suffering.

This raises some particularly interesting question, especially when related to sikhism. Sikhism unlike other indian religions stress on rehmat of god , more than individual action. In this regard , its more similar in thought to sufi kalaam. Sikh gurus have even stressed to an extent that one cannot do anything , god is "kartaa" of everything. 

So , if effect of karams cannot be extinguished except by bearing it (either by happiness or sorrow) , then in such an automatic system of universe, where does waheguru's rehmat / kirpa comes into pic ?

Gur-prasad is a higher concept than Karma. In the Sikh faith, unlike the other Dharmic faiths one is only saved from grace from Vaheguru alone, (Buddhist have a similar thought, that Karma isn't what saves you, but their answer to it, is personal emlightenment). Actually, when you look deep into the concept of Vaheguru's hand in things, there's nothing he's not involved in, everything is Hukam. Karma only means that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Also when you see morality from a logical scope, you will notice that morality is subjective instead of objective, so the Gurus simplified everything and gave people Naam.

Your karams are in constant flux. Think of them as like a wave, rising and falling. Gurprasad and Kirpa of Akaal will completely negate them, even doing good and saintly things is helpful in Karam. 

Your death that was prescribed on your head, with the power of the Shabad Guru, completely gone.

The law says murder is imprisonment for 25 years

But the judge decides to give early parole.  Now that's judges grace

Similarly as you please God he destroys karma and opens bajar kapat within

beautiful analogy .

That is why it is called grace. He alone gives to us despite our karam. He is capable of cancelling out our karams.

I have heard god doesn't interefer in its working . 

If he canceled out mine, wouldn't it be injustice to the one who suffers it fully ?

Grace  of Wahiguru is always there,  it is a matter of our receptivity.

Suppose there is a rainfall,  but if our bucket is upside down,  then not a single drop will enter into it.

And to keep the bucket right, means staying in His bhaana through bhakti at His charan kamal.

Sat Sree Akal.

I know it doesn't need to be said but this was an excellent post.

    • 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.
