Respected Brother/Sister,
Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!
As per the undersigned’s understanding, the Soul (ਆਤਮਾ) is nothing else but Akalpurakh himself, who resides in all. With the strength given by Him, the body functions and as soon as the strength is withdrawn, the physical death takes place. On physical death, the five elements merge with five elements and nothing happens to the Soul because Soul is nothing but Akalpurakh Himself. Therefore, on death, the person doesn’t become unclean and after attending the funeral one doesn’t become unclean. Therefore, as understood by the undersigned there is no reason to take a bath immediately after attending funeral, as Gurbani doesn’t believe in rituals and karamkands. Moreover, Gurbani doesn’t believe in spirits.
Hope it helps.If you have any further questions, please do ask. if you find any deficiencies, please point out the same, for improvement in future.
Regards,
Your Brother
