Context: The Kirtan of the Lord's Praise is a priceless diamond. The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is a jewel, a ruby. Somebody please explain if the priceless diamond is more expensive than the Kohinoor!!!

Yes, Aad Ji.
If I were to set sail to an expedition to go find this so-called Naam, the ruby, where shall I start ? |

So which sadhu does have the ruby at his feet ?
Do I have to ask Makhan Shah Lobhana for the answer ? |

Which sadhu? Now that is where your journey begins!
No, you do not have to ask but become Makhan Shah Lobhana. If you approach with the right attitude and mind set you will discover the true Sadhu/Sant. Practice sincerity and you will be assisted by the divine. Practice malice and you will be spotted. Do not challange or test a sadhu!. That will be a bad step to take. |

Practice malice and I will be spotted. What does that mean ? Please explain.
Do not test or challenge the sadhu (like Obi Wan ?) |
