How Naam can be achieved? A lot of scholars have tried to define it; the more they define the more difficult it becomes to comprehend its concept for a layman. Is it just reciting His Name? If just reciting is enough then how come Brahmins were questioned by Guru Nanak as they would recite “mantras” like parrots? Certainly it is more than that.

We say His Name everyday but come back to the situation of “business as usual”. If we believe in HIM then why don’t we change ourselves and why do we keep “I” in front seat? Why we want that thing more and more that actually builds barrier between Him and us. There is another truth; we want more because we don’t believe that without asking He will give us. That is the fall. That is very strange too. If we just do not believe that He would take care of us without asking anything, how we can say we have faith in Him then (<span style="color: black"> mana</span><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">ṇ</span></span><span style="color: black"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">ṯ</span></span><span style="color: black">erā nā▫o.</span>)?. In Gurbani to do prayer to Him to have basics of life to go on is not prohibited but “greed” is which is prohibited. If faith in Him is there, the subject of the prayer changes to His Naam If that faith is not there how our recitation of His Name can be sincere and fruitful? Bhagat Kabir ji states that with the complete faith in Him, all recitation of His`Name will materialize in nothing. </p><p> <strong><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolUniPr'"><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%95%E0%A8%AC%E0%A9%80%E0%A8%B0" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਕਬੀਰ</span> </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%9C%E0%A9%80" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਜੀ</span> </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%97%E0%A8%89%E0%A9%9C%E0%A9%80" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਗਉੜੀ</span> </a></span></span></strong><strong><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'Mangal'">॥</span></span> </strong><strong><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolUniPr'"><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%95%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%86" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਕਿਆ</span> </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%9C%E0%A8%AA%E0%A9%81" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਜਪੁ</span> </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%95%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%86" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਕਿਆ</span> </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A4%E0%A8%AA%E0%A9%81" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਤਪੁ</span> </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%95%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%86" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਕਿਆ</span> </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AC%E0%A9%8D%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%A4" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਬ੍ਰਤ</span> </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AA%E0%A9%82%E0%A8%9C%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਪੂਜਾ</span> </a></span></span></strong><strong><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'Mangal'">॥</span></span> </strong><strong><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'AnmolUniPr'"><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%9C%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਜਾ</span> </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%95%E0%A9%88" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਕੈ</span> </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B0%E0%A8%BF%E0%A8%A6%E0%A9%88" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਰਿਦੈ</span> </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%AD%E0%A8%BE%E0%A8%89" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਭਾਉ</span> </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%B9%E0%A9%88" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਹੈ</span> </a><a href="http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary?Param=%E0%A8%A6%E0%A9%82%E0%A8%9C%E0%A8%BE" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">ਦੂਜਾ</span> </a></span></span></strong><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'Mangal'">॥</span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'Raavi'">੧</span></span><span style="color: maroon"><span style="font-family: 'Mangal'">॥</span></span> <span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">Gauri Kabir Ji.</span></span> <span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">What avails meditation, what penance and what fasting and worship to Him,</span></span> <span style="color: navy"><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'">in whose heart there is the love of another( Maya etc)?</span></span> </p><p> So while being attracted to other Maya, faith in Him remains fragile.

If just reciting is enough then how come Brahmins were questioned by Guru Nanak as they would recite “mantras” like parrots? Certainly it is more than that.

We say His Name everyday but come back to the situation of “business as usual”. If we believe in HIM then why don’t we change ourselves and why do we keep “I” in front seat? Why we want that thing more and more that actually builds barrier between Him and us. There is another truth; we want more because we don’t believe that without asking He will give us. That is the fall. That is very strange too. If we just do not believe that He would take care of us without asking anything, how we can say we have faith in Him then ([COLOR=black] mana[/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]ṇ[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]ṯ[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black]erā nā▫o.[/COLOR])?. In Gurbani to do prayer to Him to have basics of life to go on is not prohibited but “greed” is which is prohibited. If faith in Him is there, the subject of the prayer changes to His Naam If that faith is not there how our recitation of His Name can be sincere and fruitful?
