ok i'm really confused about the whole notion of life after death...ok i understand that there is a life after life etc....but how does god determine who goes to hell or heaven?..i mean is there a court system that does that?...is it possible for us to born as humans agian?...and most importantly...plz help me with this one...i'm not totally dedicated to sikhism but i really respect it and work hard and help other whenever i can...so alot of people told me that you'll be burned in fire and go hell if you're not fully Sikh...and this is really scary...do we know enough about what really happens after death and exactely how hell and heaven works?....i would appreciate if you could try to answer all of them cuz they're really related...

No heaven or hell after you die. Your heaven and hell is how you live this life here on earth now. The concept of heaven and hell was taught by the Christians to scare people to follow the rules of the church. Fear is not part of our way.

The sikh path is a lifestyle, or a path of living and experiencing life. There should be no fear or vengence used by anyone. It is a path of truth and love.

This is a life of the Perfect Creator, creating a perfect creation. The breath and life is a gift of God. Cherish your life and breath and respect and be kind to all and your life will be great and graceful.

We have 8.4 million incarnations. You start as the dense most simple creation and work your way up to being a human. The highest incarnation is the life of the human. In this human life you have the capacity to experience your God coonsciousness which is the object of your existance.

You have a body, but you also have a soul. This soul is carried by the body. Every body has a soul. Animals have a soul, insects have souls, they are just more dense. The human incarnation is the life where the soul can be realized and experienced. This soul is your connection to God.

There is no one to judge you. When your soul leaves your physical body at the time of death...you appear befoe your own conscousness and judge your own deeds.
You can be reborn again as a human. You can be born again as a simple creature...or you can finish your incarnation cycle and merge into pure God.

Each life you have lessons and work to accomplish. When you finish your work you move on. Karma is cause and effect...not punishment.
