my first question is that guru je says the even by jappning naam and great longing for vaheguru, our past actions cannot be erased?
two part to this question, first this doesnt make sence to me because guru je has always said by even japping once naam all past actions can be erased
and guru je used ganika stories as examples
but this consfuses me, second part is that i always wondered if vaheguru is the cause of every single thing, and he is the one who makes us act, how can our actions be erased when we ourselves havnt really done anything and are being controlled by one source? now i kno this can get really complex and our minds our not at the avastha to understand such things
my second questions is
do the simrritha and shatras have value, guru je does say go and study them
wa do they contain, if newone knows, and wat does guru je mean by stubornmindness? wud it be thinking i am sikh u r hindu, or my god is great ures is not, im not sure if someone cud shed some light

Your questions are a result of wrong translation of Gurbani in English. The pankitis in question are:

--------jy hir hir kIcY bhuqu locIAY ikrqu n myitAw jwie ]
jae har har keechai bahuth locheeai kirath n maettiaa jaae ||
Even if you chant the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, with great longing, your past actions are still not erased. --------

The translation above is totally wrong. Actually it's a blunder. The correct meaning according to my humble understanding is:

Even if you greatly wish (locheeai) that these manmukh people (mentioned in the previous two pankitis and who don't have good karma of doing bhagti on their forehead) chant the Naam of Lord, (you cannot have them japp Naam because) you cannot erase the karma written on their forehead.

There is nothing wrong in studying Dharam Granths of other religions but a Sikh keeps his or her faith only on Gurbani. As for what Guru Sahib means by stubbornness, my understanding is that it is referring to the stubbornness in not taking the spiritual message of Naam and shedding maya. It's not about religions but it's about falling in love with Naam and breaking the illusion of maya.

ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂਜੀਕਾਖ਼ਾਲਸਾਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂਜੀਕੀਫ਼ਤਹ

khalsa jeeo,

a gursikh recently said to me that although when one is given a(n)mrit, there is ਕਰਮ-ਨਾਸ਼ i.e. past actions are 'destroyed'/negated, this does not mean that the effects of these actions are annihilated.

the gursikh said that this is another reason why we are given naam. satguroo jee's daya is such that we are forgiven for past actions if we japp naam and keep rehit after being given a(n)mrit, however, all the filth of these past actions is also washed away via japping naam.

however, i think this gursikh may be wrong or i may have misunderstood him. this is because many uchaa avastha valae gursikhs have had 'bad things' happen in their lives. if they were 'forgiven' then how can this be?

perhaps we are 'forgiven' in that particular parts of our lekha pertaining to the 'bad things' we have done is erased and will not be read in Dargah therefore we will not be accountable there however, this does not mean we do not have to face the consequences here on planet earth.

the consequences may be lessened as a a result of our bhagtee but there will still be a consequence i.e. we will still have to 'suffer' to some extent although we have been forgiven for actually committing the 'bad thing'. therefore:

- taking a(n)mrit means we are forgiven for the 'bad things' we have done i.e. we will not be accountable for them before Dharam Raee.

- japping naam whilst keeping rehit means that the effects of these 'bad things' upon our minds are cleansed, and we get closer to vaheguroo as this filth leaves our minds. the consequences of these 'bad things' may also be lessened.

is this correct?
