DOES THE SOUL HAVE A GENDER ?
No
DOES IT MEAN THAT A SOUL CAN TRANSMIGRATE TO A MALE OR FEMALE FORM?
Yes, and vice versa.
MY OWN VIEW IS THAT THE SOUL DOES NOT HAVE A GENDER AND THAT WHEN IT TAKES "BIRTH" IN A MALE/FEMALE BODY IT SIMPLY COMPLIES WITH THAT BODY'S BIOLOGICAL OR INSTINCTIVE NEEDS SUCH AS A NEED / ATTRACTION FOR A "MATE" (MALE OR FEMALE)
Yes, Soul has no Gender. But Gender is selected by the soul
IS THERE ANYTHING IN GURBANI THAT TELLS US ABOUT GENDER OF THE SOUL?
Not in plain words. But metaphorically the soul is at times treated as female.
IF THE ESSENCE OF Sikhi IS ABOUT REUNITING THE SOUL WITH THE CREATOR THROUGH SEVA,SIMRAN,& SANGAT DOES SEXUAL ORIENTATION MATTER?
No it does not matter. But male are more successful than females. (No dis-respect intended). Seva , Simrat and Sangat alone does not bear fruit.
I HAVE HEARD THE ARGUMENT ABOUT SEX AND SEXUALITY SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR PROCREATION (MAKING BABIES)?
There was an era when Sex and Sexuality was used as a tool for attaining enlightenment. The intention of nature is to keep one busy and occupied in this act. Kam reduces spiritual powers. It has a detrimental effect on the body.
BUT COME ON VEERS/BHAN JI'S LETS FACE IT IS THAT REALLY THE REALITY AMONGST "MARRIED" COUPLES EVEN RELIGIOUS ONES?
What happens between couples and what is intended for spirituality are two different things. Our behavior is based on instincts and our Poorav Janam.
I HUMBLY APOLOGISE IF I HAVE CAUSED OFFENCE, THIS NOT MY INTENTION JUST LIKE TO DEBATE ONCE IN A WHILE AND TO LEARN!
Some topics cannot be talked about openly in forums for the reason that people of all categories visit these sites. They may or may not be mentally mature to grasp the concept. This was the reason why spiritual teachings were limited to Ashrams where the candidate was personally selected the Master.
