[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 66124, member: 5290"] Contemplate the Unspoken Speech, and the desires of the mind are dissolved. Turning away from the world, the heart-lotus is filled with Nectar. Then the mind does not wander around; it does not get distracted. The mind that does not forget the Chant which is chanted without chanting becomes immersed in the Primal Being of the ages. Upon becoming a Gurmukh (Spiritual Being), all the sensese are blessed with the five virtues, and one dwells in the Home of the Self deep within. Nanak is the slave of that one who seeks the Shabad and finds this inner Home (sggs 1291). <><><><> The glory of the Divine Name ([I]Naam[/I]) and the efficacy of chanting it for realizing God has been underscored in the Gurbani (SGGS) as well as many other scriptures. Chanting of the Divine Name has been recommended as the antidote to man's [I]Haume[/I] (psychological ego) — all negative actions and negative emotions of the mind. Besides, the present age of [I]Kali Yuga[/I] is characterized by quarrel, disagreement, cheating, deceit, cynicism, hypocrisy, duplicity, misinformation, and so on. Also, we are short-lived, spiritually ignorant, and our mind is constantly disturbed and agitated by anxieties. In this age when it has become difficult to adopt the other methods like penance, etc., to realize one's True Nature, the method of chanting Divine Name in the form of hymns and [I]Mantra[/I] or repeating them as in [I]Japa[/I] or meditation is said to bestow the same result.
