Pheena Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Jins and Ghosts, i'll give you a simple answer, yes they do exist, Guru Granth sahib even metnions that being a Ghost is a Joon, meaning a life phase as you are alive in a human forum and then an Animal body, so you take life on as a Ghost according to your Karms. As for Jin, Simple Answer yes they do exist, and for thier place in a Sikhs life, well there is none. In Sikhi it is not neccesary to direct yourself in to the realms of other existences or entities. It is a very Simple and Straight forward path. If on the path you become aware of their existence then so be it, but your efforts should focus on the path laid before you by the Guru. If you wish to posses a Jin or know of thier Existence then it is most certainly possible. But then it will be a distraction to you from the real purpose of your time here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Satinder, This world has two layers. First God who is supreme energy controlling everything and then sprits (there are good and bad sprits) and then we human. http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa082701a.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satinder_sohel Posted February 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hey Guest, that link is good.. altho i wanted more of a sikh attitude towards jins, coz apparently there are things similar to jins in sikhi. For Sukhi.. apparently, according to Islam, jinns are spirits that have no physcal form (pure energy) that live in a dimension close to ours. from wot iv bin told they have the ability to cross over to this dimension whenever they choose and can take the form of anything.. even posess humans etc.. so in those terms they arnt ghosts.. infact... from wot iv bin told, muslims dont believe in ghost, only jinns... etc etc On those terms i fink there is a clear distinction between the two.. but what i wanted 2 no is if sikhs believe in one or the other or both or none lol sorry, just a topic of convo dat me any my friends have bin on for the last few weeks thanks for the replies 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
