Those who have meditated on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, and departed after having worked by the sweat of their brows and their faces are radiant in the Court of the Lord, and many are saved along with them. [8-12] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 8.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]No one can overthrow those who have been established by the True Guru. The Treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is within them, and through the Naam, they are radiant and famous. They worship the Naam, and they believe in the Naam. The True One is forever Intact and Unbroken.[17-17,Sriraag] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 9.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]The magical attributes of Naam are stated in Japuji Sahib that by mere Listening and believing with love and humility in cleanse the mind.

[35-12] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 16.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]But with a polluted mind, devotional service cannot be performed, and the Naam, the Name of the Lord, cannot be obtained.[39-9] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 17.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]The filth of many incarnations is washed away, and the Immaculate Naam is implanted within.[40-10][/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 18.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]Nanak, without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, no one is liberated.[161-1][/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 19.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]Bani states that the entire universe and the nature is the manifestation of Naam. The Naam has not been defined in the entire Granth. Claryfying the fate of those who do not remember the naam Guru states that the fate of such people would not be very good in the next life. Those who forget the Naam-what will happen when they go to the Court of the Lord? [17-19] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 20.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]A seeker is asked to remember the Naam till he lives. The blinds who have forgotten the Naam remain in utter darkness.

Attached to duality, they putrefy and die; they are filled with the fire of desire within.[19-10] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 23.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]As stated above Naam purifies the body and mind.[Japu Ji Sahib][/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 24.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]That body is said to be pure, in which the Name abides.[19-16] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 25.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]The Gurmukh praises the Naam, and the fire of egotism is extinguished.[20-1][/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 26.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]Day and night, continually serve the Lord God; the True Guru has ‘given’ the Naam.[20-11] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 27.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]Here there is a presumption that Naam has been given to the seeker and he has to serve the True Guru. Much is left for the imagination and calculation on the part of seeker. Is the true Guru the Lord/Creator Himself or the Guru of Sikhs i.e ‘Sabad Guru’? Is Naam to be realized or understood leaves another form of confusion but the entire thing should become clear after the entire reading of the Granth sahib. If Naam is given by the True Guru ,what shall be the fate of the Naam that is stated to be within us.? [/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 28.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]However, there is admonition that one should never forget the Naam, the Name of the Lord.[21-16][/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 29.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]Those who have the Naam within, become steady and stable, forever and ever .[26-19][/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 30.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]The words of those who are lovingly attuned to the Naam are true forever.[28-5] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 31.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]Nanak, through the Naam, greatness is obtained; through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, He is realized. ||8||5||22||[68-3] [/FONT][/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial] 32.[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=blue][FONT=Arial]Nanak lives by meditating, meditating on the Naam.
