Hello,

ok there's someting that i've been thinking about for quite sometime now and its kinda confusing.....i understand that as humans, we're at the top of the food chain and everything and now is the best time to unite and connect with god...i mean its a golden opportunity for most of the humans but what about all the people who are born with mental illness and other disabilities...i mean some people in hospitals can't even see think or hear anything...do you think its fair for them??? what does god do with them?....and how come some people are born in rich families where they don't have to do any work and others born in places where even water is not available....most of my friends thinks including myself that everything that take place in this world is random...do you think there a huge lack of faith in these days because science is going too far and explaining alot of things....cuz i mean in India, some people look up the sky and think that god is up there....but what is really up there is millions of other p



lanets.....i know its kinda getting long....but this phenomenon is so confusing, if you think about it, it makes you crazy....atleast it makes me crazy!....oh and one more thing...i heard that theres' a court system after death...which determines your human performance i guess....do you think that Sikh have their own court and others have their own...so in that sense...there must be more than on god.....i know i kinda sound weird...but i try not to think these kinda stuff but when i do...it makes no sense at all....it seems like everything in life is random and short-term...and at the end everything is worthless......ok i'm done! plz give me your religious opinion..cuz i already got so many non-religious opinions...thanks

Yes, everything is fair in the realm of God and His creation.

The poeple with disabilities earned those experiences to fulfil some karmic experience. Their souls are very greatful for the experience. You may think it is unfair or random, yet you do not see the entire picture. There is no good or bad, your thinking makes it so.

Have you heard of reincarnation? Every soul has to pass through 8.4 million lifetimes. We start very simply and small. When you reach the human birth, you still have a long way to go to master the best human experience.

It is all grace and God's will. The law of Karma, or action and reaction is in play for every being. Each lifetime has lessons and opportunities. It is the same regardless of your religious affiliation.

The court that you refer to works as follow; when we die(leave our body) our life experiences are presented before us and we actually judge ourselves. This is all written in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. You can read it all in English from start to finish....called a Sehej Path. Or, you can read Jap Ji Sahib....http:www.sikhnet.com/s/gurugranthsahib under English translation....it will give you the most deep understanding of life...read it for 40 days as a meditation and see for yourself.
