Respected Brother/Sister,
Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!
You have asked a question whether we can meet our loved one after rebirth?
As per the undersigned’s understanding, Sikhism does not accept the theory of rebirth. In every living being, Akalpurakh resides, whom we call the Soul. With the strength given by Him, the body functions and as soon as the strength is withdrawn, the physical death takes place.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. Please read the relevant stanzas of the Shabads and it will make things more clear:-
ਸੋਰਠਿ ਮਹਲਾ ੪ ਚਉਥਾ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਅੰਡਜ ਜੇਰਜ ਸੇਤਜ ਉਤਭੁਜ ਆਪੇ ਖੰਡ ਆਪੇ ਸਭ ਲੋਇ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਸੂਤੁ ਆਪੇ ਬਹੁ ਮਣੀਆ ਕਰਿ ਸਕਤੀ ਜਗਤੁ ਪਰੋਇ ॥ ਆਪੇ ਹੀ ਸੂਤਧਾਰੁ ਹੈ ਪਿਆਰਾ ਸੂਤੁ ਖਿੰਚੇ ਢਹਿ ਢੇਰੀ ਹੋਇ ॥੧॥ (ਪੰਨਾ 604-605)
ਅਰਥ: ਹੇ ਭਾਈ! ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਆਪ ਹੀ (ਚਾਰੇ ਖਾਣੀਆਂ) ਅੰਡਜ ਜੇਰਜ ਸੇਤਜ ਉਤਭੁਜ ਹੈ, ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਆਪ ਹੀ (ਧਰਤੀ ਦੇ ਨੌ) ਖੰਡ ਹੈ, ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਆਪ ਹੀ (ਸ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟੀ ਦੇ) ਸਾਰੇ ਭਵਨ ਹੈ। ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਆਪ ਹੀ (ਸੱਤਿਆ-ਰੂਪ) ਧਾਗਾ ਹੈ, ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਆਪ (ਬੇਅੰਤ ਜੀਵ ਰੂਪ) ਅਨੇਕਾਂ ਮਣਕੇ ਹੈ, ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਆਪ ਹੀ ਆਪਣੀ ਤਾਕਤ ਬਣਾ ਕੇ ਜਗਤ ਨੂੰ (ਧਾਗੇ ਵਿਚ) ਪ੍ਰੋਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਆਪ ਹੀ ਧਾਗੇ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਹੱਥ ਵਿਚ ਫੜ ਰੱਖਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੈ। ਜਦੋਂ ਉਹ (ਜਗਤ ਵਿਚੋਂ) ਧਾਗੇ ਨੂੰ ਖਿੱਚ ਲੈਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਤਦੋਂ (ਜਗਤ) ਢਹਿ ਕੇ ਢੇਰੀ ਹੋ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ (ਜਗਤ-ਰਚਨਾ ਮੁੱਕ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ) ।੧।
ਕਿਆ ਕੋਈ ਤੇਰੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰੇ ਕਿਆ ਕੋ ਕਰੇ ਅਭਿਮਾਨਾ ॥ ਜਬ ਅਪੁਨੀ ਜੋਤਿ ਖਿੰਚਹਿ ਤੂ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਤਬ ਕੋਈ ਕਰਉ ਦਿਖਾ ਵਖਿਆਨਾ ॥੨॥ (ਪੰਨਾ 797)
ਅਰਥ: ਹੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ! ਆਪਣੇ ਉੱਦਮ ਨਾਲ) ਕੋਈ ਭੀ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਤੇਰੀ ਸੇਵਾ-ਭਗਤੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦਾ, ਕੋਈ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਅਜੇਹਾ ਕੋਈ ਮਾਣ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦਾ। ਹੇ ਮਾਲਕ-ਪ੍ਰਭੂ! ਜਦੋਂ ਤੂੰ ਕਿਸੇ ਜੀਵ ਵਿਚੋਂ (ਸੇਵਾ-ਭਗਤੀ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੋਇਆ) ਚਾਨਣ ਖਿੱਚ ਲੈਂਦਾ ਹੈਂ, ਤਦੋਂ ਫਿਰ ਕੋਈ ਭੀ ਸੇਵਾ-ਭਗਤੀ ਦੀਆਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦਾ।੨।
Therefore, since Sikhism doesn’t suscribe to the theory of rebirth, there is no scope for meeting our loved ones after rebirth. If you have any further questions please do ask.
Regards,
Your Brother
GURBANI DOES NOT SUBSCRIBE TO AFTER LIFE. HERE IS WHY.THE TRUTH OF AFTER LIFE.
A member of our group asked me to briefly explain GURBANI view of after life. Let me begin by saying that GURBANI completely refutes this concocted belief system. Organized religions for thousand years have misled and deprived humanity of inner peace, happiness, harmony and universal brotherhood by enforcing such fake stories. Interestingly the story of after life has been presented in such a precise and detailed manner to make it completely believable. It is important to note that even though GURU NANAK used the words and language of the time, he gave totally new meaning. It is serious mistake to take the use of pre NANAK language to be spirituality of GURU NANAK.
After life story goes like this. After physical death, the body is burned and the last rites are performed by special priest, at specific time, reading specific mantras. Then the SOUL is dragged by soldiers of death (YAMDOOTS) and is sent on 365 days journey to DARGAH, THE COURT OF DHRANRAJ to face judgement. Based on your deeds in this life you are sent to hell, heaven or reincarnate as dog, cat and what not. Over the past thousand years billions have died but nobody has ever come back to tell the story of what happens.
Here are the views of GURBANI. On page 75 SGGS GURU NANAK first refutes the after- life story. CHUTHAI PEHRE WANJARIA MITRA, LAWI AYA KHET. JA JUM PAKAR CHALAYA WANJARIA MITRA KISE NA MILIYA BHET. GURU says according to after life story, after physical death the soldiers of death drag the SOUL to DHARAMRAJ for judgement. GURU says KISE NA MILIYA BHET meaning nobody knows what happens after death. Then GURU says BHET CHET HAR KISE MILIO meaning everything happens according to WILL OF GOD, HUKM that cannot be explained. I therefore refute this fake, concocted story.
GURU AMARDASJI on page 648 SGGS further refutes this belief system. IK DAJHE IK DABIYE IKNA KUTE KHAHE. IK PANEE WICH OOSTIHE IK BHEE PHIR HASSAN PAHE. NANAK EV NA JAPAEE KITHAI JAYE SAMAHE. GURU says after physical death people follow different processes to dispose of body for its after-life salvation. Some burn, some bury, some leave for animals to eat, some throw in the water and others leave in deep well. All these processes are done for the SOUL. NANAK says by following all these processes nobody knows what happens to the SOUL. GURBANI therefore completely refutes this fake story.
On page 940 GUR NANAK offers his views. When YOGIS asked GURU NANAK, KAHAN TE AWE, KAHAN EH JAWE, KAHAN EH RAHE SAMAEE meaning where does the SOUL come from, where does it goes after death. GURU says HUKME AWE, HUKME JAWE, HUKME RAHE SAMAE meaning the SOUL, LIFE ENERGY originates and ends according to HUKM, WILL OF GOD, life comes into being and leaves this world according to WILL OF GOD, not according to after life beliefs, the fake human created story.
On page 885 SGGS GURU ARJUNJI clearly states views of GURBANI on this subject. PAWNE MAHE PAWAN SAMAYA. GURU says we all breath oxygen to live. After physical death air merges with air. MATEE MATEE HOEE EK. The physical elements, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, calcium, phosphorus and other minor elements merge with physical elements. JOTEE MAHE JOYT RAL JAYA, the life force, life energy merges with universal life energy. GURU further says, KAHO NANAK GUR BHARAM CHUKAYA. NA KOEE MARE NA AWE JAYA. GURU says I am very clear that universal life energy never dies. The after- life story is fake and concocted.
My daughter said that she has heard after life story in many GURDWARAS. Unfortunately, we have brought back after life fake story that GURU NANAK discarded. Not only this we have brought back everything NANAK rejected and discarded. It is important to understand that GURBANI does not dwell on what happens in the after life and asks us to focus instead on the present, here and now, realize eternal life while living. SHABAD MAROH PHIR JEEWHO SAD HEE. GURU ask us to internalize GURBANI wisdom, implement in daily lives to overcome ego, live life blissfully illuminated with divine wisdom, virtues.
