I am a new amritdhari and previously I have this idea embedded in my head that if I do something bad, (not bujjer kurehit) that i will have a bad consequence of my actions... like I was involved in a accident and I was thinking this maybe because of my own actions. (this is just one example).

Does this concept exist in sikhi? What happens when we commit paap's? I feel like i am constantly thinking in my head, if I do this, then this might happen? Or that if I do this, it might be bad luck? Is this just superstition?

Please clarify

Paap= you reap what you sow, it is just the way the Universe works. Ever heard of the saying "what goes around, comes around"? It is essentially that, if you disrespect others, don't expect others to respect you, if you spend all your time drinking in clubs and having one-night stands, don't expect to enter a meaningful relationship.

Paap and "sin" are not the same thing, sin is an Abrahamic term and has no basis in Sikhi. The Creator is not going to curse you when you do something "bad", you are punishing yourself. "Bad luck" etc... is all superstitious nonsense that our Gurus rejected.

Just read something interesting -

"We reap what we sow" but we forget that, we reap in a Different Season than we sow !

In addition we reap More Than we sow.

When we put seeds in the ground we get much more in return from the plant.

Nothing can be done to change our past but Much can be done to change our Future.

Thanks for this reply. Just one more question.. if in Sikhi god doesnt punish us with "bad luck" for "sins" then how come we say the same god we can pray to get miracles/needs?

Really "Paap= you reap what you sow, it is just the way the Universe works."

I don't agree with this, so you are telling me all the innocents that die in war torn countries deserve it. How about Tony Blair (PM of Britain and leader of the Labour party once) starts a war with Iraq and has never been punished for his crimes but has become completely the opposite, most successful speaker for large corporation events.

    • 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.
