[QUOTE="Neutral Singh, post: 86, member: 2"] This is a very important question your asked... I am also searching for answers to these questions... So, What is Naam ? For the answers we have to take guidance from none other than, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji... Let us read and try to understand the following verse in Gurbani at panna no. 274, which clearly defines Naam... [font=GurbaniAkhar][size=3]nwm ky Dwry sgly jMq ] nwm ky Dwry KMf bRhmMf ] nwm ky Dwry isimRiq byd purwn ] nwm ky Dwry sunn igAwn iDAwn ] nwm ky Dwry Awgws pwqwl ] nwm ky Dwry sgl Awkwr ] nwm ky Dwry purIAw sB Bvn ] nwm kY sMig auDry suin sRvn ] kir ikrpw ijsu AwpnY nwim lwey ] nwnk cauQy pd mih so jnu giq pwey ]5][/size][/font] Sukhmani Sahib Ji, Panna 274 (SGGS Ji) Means: The Naam is the Support of all creatures. The Naam is the Support of the earth and solar systems. The Naam is the Support of the Simritees, the Vedas and the Puraanas. The Naam is the Support by which we hear of spiritual wisdom and meditation. The Naam is the Support of the Akaashic ethers and the nether regions. The Naam is the Support of all bodies. The Naam is the Support of all worlds and realms. Associating with the Naam, listening to it with the ears, one is saved. Those whom the Lord mercifully attaches to His Naam . O Nanak, in the fourth state, those humble servants attain salvation. || 5 || So, it is clearly defined in Gurbani that what is Naam... Naam is always referred to as The Akaal Purukh... the Creator... Bhai Kahan Singh Ji Nabha has defined Naam as "Akal Purukh" and "His Will" Prof. Sahib Singh Ji has defined Naam as "Akal Purukh". So, when we are asked to concentrate on Naam, that means we have to concentrate on the Akal Purukh... the Creator and always acknowledge His will by heart only then we will be at peace with ourselves... In Japji Sajib Ji, Guru Nanak says... [font=GurbaniAkhar][size=3]qIrQu qpu dieAw dqu dwnu ] jy ko pwvY iql kw mwnu ] suixAw mMinAw min kIqw Bwau ] AMqrgiq qIriQ mil nwau ] siB gux qyry mY nwhI koie ] ivxu gux kIqy Bgiq n hoie ] suAsiq AwiQ bwxI brmwau ] siq suhwxu sdw min cwau ] kvxu su vylw vKqu kvxu kvx iQiq kvxu vwru ] kvix is ruqI mwhu kvxu ijqu hoAw Awkwru ] vyl n pweIAw pMfqI ij hovY lyKu purwxu ] vKqu n pwieE kwdIAw ij ilKin lyKu kurwxu ] iQiq vwru nw jogI jwxY ruiq mwhu nw koeI ] jw krqw isrTI kau swjy Awpy jwxY soeI ] ikv kir AwKw ikv swlwhI ikau vrnI ikv jwxw ] nwnk AwKix sBu ko AwKY iek dU ieku isAwxw ] vfw swihbu vfI nweI kIqw jw kw hovY ] nwnk jy ko AwpO jwxY AgY gieAw n sohY ]21][/size][/font] Japji Sahib Ji Panna 4-5, Pauri 21 (SGGS Ji) Means : [b]Pilgrimages, austere discipline, compassion and charity.these, by themselves, bring only an iota of merit. Listening and believing with love and humility in your mind, cleanse yourself with the Name, at the sacred shrine deep within. All virtues are Yours, Lord, I have none at all. Without virtue, there is no devotional worship. I bow to the Lord of the World, to His Word, to Brahma the Creator. He is Beautiful, True and Eternally Joyful. What was that time, and what was that moment? What was that day, and what was that date? What was that season, and what was that month, when the Universe was created?

The day and the date are not known to the Yogis, nor is the month or the season. The Creator who created this creation.only He Himself knows. How can we speak of Him? How can we praise Him?[/b] The Shabad by Bahi Namdeo also states that by chanting and accepting the presense of the Almighty and accepting His Will in our hearts and minds, even the cold hearted dead persons can be revived and become a loving and compasionate persons... There is ofcourse no use in merely concentraing on word "Naam" or anyother word for that matter... we can Jap Naam by clearly reading and understanding the teachings of Gurbani... We can Jap Naam even while we are helping the father, who is ailing... we can Jap Naam even while we are not meditating... My humble views... Thanx a lot for putting forward these questions it was really enlightening to find the answers in Gurbani... Please keep posting... Bhul Chuk Maaf [/QUOTE]
