Answer can show the way out if given depending upon the above Slok’s application.

ਸਲੋਕ ॥
ਰਸਨਾ ਉਚਰੰਤਿ ਨਾਮੰ ਸ੍ਰਵਣੰ ਸੁਨੰਤਿ ਸਬਦ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਹ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਨ ਸਦ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੰ ਜਿਨਾ ਧਿਆਨੁ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮਣਹ ॥੧॥
Pk70 ji and Namjap ji,
Please "makhi te makhi na maro". Give justice to the Bani. Please ponder on the meanings of Bani once again.
Mantras are chanted(No emotions but concentration on purity of words) Shabads are recited (emotions / bhavna is present here)
Here the use of the word shabad refers to bani as one would hear bani with ones ears
Amriteh is bani that by listening liberates one. i.e. amar kar dene wali bani.
If you want just to please and admire each other then you are unlikely to learn or understand Gurus message.
kind regards

ps correct pronounciation of the words/verses adds to the fine tuning.
