Karma

My understanding has been this: some sins from previous lives may be repaid in this life; some sins in this life are repaid in this life; some sins in this life are repaid in future lives. 

Doing seva and simran burns away these sins or lessens their impact. Much like the story of the two Sikhs, one who found a gold coin and the other injured by a thorn.

is there any difference in sikh concept of karam as opposed to the concept in other dharmic religions

From personal experience, it is possible u sin in the morning and Karma comes biting you before nightfall, same day! I strongly believe it happened to me on 1st September 2010. TRUST! You don't forget dates like that! Of course there is the good ol' rational explanation... But my heart??? I know it deep down.

Japji Sahib states "Aape beech, aape he kaho." So bad things happen to us for past / this life reasons, no matter how good / careful we been. Yes Naam Jap will erase / reduce the price of Karma, BUT do not make Naam Jap into a license to eradicate your sinful doings. Don't work that way.

I reckon the speed between cause and effect increases as our load is lightened , so those who have done bhagti immensely burn off the old stuff and are left with the more recent things until we zero out and get into positive  position 

Just do Waheguru simran it will burn everything away and save your family also, this is said by Guru Gobind Singh Ji

So if something bad happens to us in this life we may be being punished by karma? ie we did bad acts in this life so we are now being punished for them. Then how to get a clean slate? By doing goods deeds. 

Ie our current health, wealth problems could be caused sins we committed early in life. Then why does bad things happen to good people wh have hardly sinned?

Karma isn't a reward for good, punish for bad system. It's the perfect lesson, based on our past thoughts and actions, according to the Kirpa of the Timless One. For example one may be blessed with great suffering to bring them closer to Guru Ji and saved from things they thought they wanted. Much like in the final pages of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

    • 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.
