Tejwant ji
Your story is haunting and it is magnificent. Especially the end when you observe that children who are special in some way, be it epilepsy or mental retardation or autism or a physical impairment, are gifts to us. They help the rest of us find our godly center, where we can learn to be loving, supportive, and open to every particle of creation, even the particles that don't look quite right to us at the time. We are transformed by them.
I am no expert on karma or on reincarnation. Just wondering aloud how it could be that Guru Nanak, a relentless teacher, would teach that Ik Oan Kaar is Creative, Supportive and Nurturing always, except when karams are concerned.
The idea of recycling through joon after joon , to cleanse our karmas and spiritually evolve, cannot be untangled from the caste system, as found in Manusmriti and the Ramayana. These two ideas of reincarnation and caste/varna are welded together. The same is not exactly true in Buddhism. And so I only ask, Does Sikhism have a different, unique view? Again, forgive me if I have insulted anyone.
