Revision history [back]

I was born and raised as a Sikh, however i did not know much about the religion. I still don't know much to be honest but I am learning on my own, I still don't how to read or write punjabi (I am planning to learn soon) and due to my lack of knowledge about Sikhi I fear that I have committed paap. I haven't done anything malicious to hurt anyone or make them feel bad about themselves, but because of my ignorance of Sikhi I have done things like try alcohol. I have been regretting it for so long and I even went to the Gudwara numerous times and asked for forgiveness from god. My question is, if I did not know I was doing something bad and that it would create bad karma, can this Karma be undone? For example, I am trying to be positive, do the path I know as well as learn more, and also working on losing my anger. Can those items decrease my chance of receiving negative karma?

If I had committed paap, not knowing it was paap, will I still be punished?

The guilt eats away at me everyday, I confessed to my mom about what I did and she said you are a student in life and by realizing your mistake you are on the right path and god will forgive you. Im scared the karma of my actions will hurt those that I love and it is pushing me into depression.
