Summary of Question:	True And Untrue Heavens And Hells
Category:	General Sikhism
Date Posted:	Saturday, 2/11/2006 11:27 PM MST

ONLY THE TRUE LORD WILL SHOW US THE TRUE HEAVENS THROUGH THE MEANS OF HIS POWERFUL TRUE NAMES. CAN THE UNIVERSAL MIND-KAAL-BRAHM SHOW US ARTIFICIAL HEAVENS AND HELLS INORDER TO TAKE US TOWARDS CYCLES OF BIRTH AND DEADTH?? DESTINY OF MAN IN SIKHISM IS RETURN TO GODHEAD, THEN WHY WE ARE STILL MAKING OUR DESTINY TO HEAVEN AND HELL??? ONLY THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN PRESERVING AND FEEDING THEIR EGO-HAUMAI WILL GO TO SUCH PLACES.. IS HEAVEN AND HELL IS HERE ON EARTH???? IN ORDER TO BE QUALIFIED TO RUN AFTER THE TRUE NAMES OF GOD TWO THINGS ARE REQUIRED FREE WILL AND A HUMAN BIRTH?? THIS TWO THINGS ARE GIVEN TO US ONLY ON EARTH. IT IS EVEN NOT GIVEN TO ANGELS AND BRAHM.. SO NOW I LIKE TO ASK A QUESTION, DOES HEAVEN AND HELL EXIST OR IT IS JUST THE SHADOW PART OF MIND AND BODY?????????? I NEED THE FEEDBACK FROM OUR SIKH PEOPLE ON THIS SUBJECT

Sat nam. To a Sikh, hell is life without Guru. Heaven is life with Guru. Sikhs do not get into great debates on the existence of heaven or hell as places. These are concepts specific to other faiths, not Sikhi. But if you read Siri guru Granth Sahib carefully and meditate on the bani, you will see that Guru regards hell is a life lived totally in the 5 aspects of lust, anger, greed, pride and attachment, and that heaven is sukh-sehej, that state of mental neutrality where Guru's will is understood and the 5 aspects are controlled and the round of births & deaths cease.
