Are there different levels of Naam ?
|
There are different levels of your being. Naam exists in this level of reality, and in other dimensions as well. Just consider the physics of wave-particle duality. Even a sub-atomic particle which we imagine to be some kind of tiny object like a grain of sand, actually at those levels of size conform to quantum mechanics, not Newtonian laws. So it's not really perceivable as an object discrete in time and space. And that subatomic particle as well as being a particle which physicists can measure on a scale, is also a wave of energy. As the property of a wave, it is infinite in all directions.
Just accept that your physical body exists on a plane of dimensionality measurable in linear time. But another aspect of your physicality is able to transcend time and space just like the wave. Something in the transcendent aspect of your being is beyond the physical. If you vibrate your physical being in tune with the timeless Naam, you are able to raise your physical processes and transcend them.

| You're an enlightened soul |
I'm a morakh. I have no power to enlighten anyone. If something is truly enlightening, it's because I'm standing under the lamp of Gurbani. And if there's darkness in what I write, it's because my ego casts a big shadow and stands in the way of that wonderful light.

| It's easier to die than walk against our inner manmat.

We are dying every second because we walk according to our manmat and not according to Gurmat.
Quote:
| the Panj Piare are supposed to impart something to you that opens the door to your liberation. And most people don't receive it. this is Naam. Also please elaborate on this opening of the door to liberation.
|
The door to liberation is the dasm duar. Naam Japna is the engine of our spiritual practice because the Naam Gurmatara we are given has the power to clean our subtle energy channels and pierce through the barriers in our 6 chakras allowing the energy to ascend and unlock the tenth gate, crown chakra. Only rehitvaan Gursikh Panj Piare who are Naam abiyaasi's can impart to someone the technique of Naam drirh at amrit sinchaar. No one but Panj Piare can impart this technique.
