The physical dimensions of Reality is always in flux; it keeps changing.

God is a Being beyond time: An Eternal, Indestructible Entity. He does not change. He is beyond time.Time means change. We are aware of time because we are surrounded by change: the sun rises and it is morning, then it is afternoon and then evening; first there is the infant, then the youth, then the old man; a healthy man becomes ill, an ill person healthy; a rich man becomes a pauper, a pauper becomes a king. For God there is no time because He is eternal, perpetual, immortal. He is forever. For Him nothing is changing; everthing is static. Change is the experience of sightless eyes that do not see things in their full perspective. If we could see things from the furthest vantage point all change drops away, and then time stops; it ceases to exist. For God all things are as they are; nothing changes. How to address HIM and remember Him.it is through HIS name.

God is a Being beyond time: An Eternal, Indestructible Entity. He does not change. He is beyond time.Time means change. We are aware of time because we are surrounded by change: the sun rises and it is morning, then it is afternoon and then evening; first there is the infant, then the youth, then the old man; a healthy man becomes ill, an ill person healthy; a rich man becomes a pauper, a pauper becomes a king. For God there is no time because He is eternal, perpetual, immortal. He is forever. For Him nothing is changing; everthing is static. Change is the experience of sightless eyes that do not see things in their full perspective. If we could see things from the furthest vantage point all change drops away, and then time stops; it ceases to exist. For God all things are as they are; nothing changes. How to address HIM and remember Him.it is through HIS name.

Anything employed to address HIM should be worthy of same respect as the one who is addressed with the help of that which is employed to express the Creator, the Almighty.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Garamond][SIZE=3][It is as per the above conclusion that I have derived myself and the things fall in line for me I am sharing it with you.

One would have to carefully recognise it while going through Various ‘ bani’s. May be as it is the ‘word’ that originated ‘Naam’, these are treated as same. This may not seem very lucid explanation. But something that is divine should not be stated to be logical or illogical. I shall not deviate from the standard position taken by almost all the commentator. I shall not even further discusss this aspect. May be some scholar may through some light. Some portion of this post are left open as the author cannot write much beyond this.Any addition would be of academic interest and is likely to lead to confusion.

Even after searching many sites and looking at the write- ups, I could not find this aspect Of ‘ Naam’ and would leave this for individuals understanding. There are very many articles available that are full of appreciation Of Naam. For this article /post I have assumed as per Gurbani that Name of the Lord is the Lord Himself. I have received something great while studying all the available material that I could read with my old eyes and I am in tears while sharing this with you.
