It subsumes within it the revelation of God`s being, the only fit object of contemplation for the individual, the standard to which his life must conform, and the essential means of purification and liberation. Nam translates easily and accurately into the English word `Name`, but this does not provide an actual understanding of its full import as a conceptual category in Sikhism. Even as commonly understood, a name is not a mere label.</span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"> It expresses something of the </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-size: 12px">nature of whatever it designates, or at least points towards that nature. As used in the compositions of the Gurus, the word nam is a summary expression for the whole nature of Akal Purakh (God). Anything which may be affirmed concerning Akal Purakh is an aspect of nam. Because He is all powerful, it follows that omnipotence is part of nam. Because He knows all things, omniscience is similarly a feature of nam. The many and varied qualities which may be attributed to Akal Purakh, His timelessness, His transcendence and immanence, even His manifestation in the form of the created world of time and space are all to be regarded as aspects of nam. And because Akal- Purakh is infinite, so too is His Name.This stress upon nam as an expression of the inherent nature of Akal Purakh should not imply that it is essentially passive. In the Sikh belief, it is crucial that individuals should understand its active role.</span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"></span> <span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"></span> <span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-size: 12px">The second part of the shabad emphasizes the condition of those who have not practiced meditation, self-discipline, self-restraint or righteous living and not served the Holy and further have not acknowledged the Lord. </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"></span> <span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"></span> <span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-size: 12px">In such a situation Nanak advises that one should pray that as the actions are contemptible! and should also pray for the Sanctuary of Lord and further should ask for preserving the honor. </span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"></span></span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"></span></span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">Qualities of Seeker: </span></span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"></span> </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: Black"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">Meditate upon HIS Nam</span></span></span></li> </ul><p><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px">Note:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"></span><span style="font-size: 12px">A great stress is given on Nam Simran in Sikhism. A Sikh is required to lead a virtuous, pure and pious life. This virtue can be attained by always remembering and repeating name of God with full concentration, breath by breath. Nam will create love and affection for all those who are created by God. It is strongly believed that a pious person would be compassionate and contended. He will aspire to serve the needy. He will have no enmity with any one as he knows that God lives in every human being. Hurting of humanity would hurt God. So serve His Creation to serve God and remember Name of God day and night. The mortal can attain God by living in Him, by dying in Him, by Naming Him and in loving Him</span> </p><p><span style="font-size: 12px">Sikhism believes in worshipping One God (<em>Puja Akal Ki</em>) who lives every where and in hearts of all. Every Sikh is required to worship Shabad and adore God’s Name. The Name of God washes away the dirt of mind. Sikhism believes in observance of both Bani and Bana.</span> </p><p><span style="font-size: 12px">Higher truth is not experienced through the normal process by an average person.

The first part contains the significant word i.e. ‘Naam’. Guru states that it is very difficult to obtain the human junie and it should be properly utilized in obtaining union with the Lord. Guru states in the first part of the sabad:[/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=3] [/SIZE] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=3] [/SIZE] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]‘This human body has been given to you.

It subsumes within it the revelation of God`s being, the only fit object of contemplation for the individual, the standard to which his life must conform, and the essential means of purification and liberation. Nam translates easily and accurately into the English word `Name`, but this does not provide an actual understanding of its full import as a conceptual category in Sikhism. Even as commonly understood, a name is not a mere label.[/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=3] It expresses something of the [/SIZE][FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]nature of whatever it designates, or at least points towards that nature. As used in the compositions of the Gurus, the word nam is a summary expression for the whole nature of Akal Purakh (God). Anything which may be affirmed concerning Akal Purakh is an aspect of nam. Because He is all powerful, it follows that omnipotence is part of nam. Because He knows all things, omniscience is similarly a feature of nam. The many and varied qualities which may be attributed to Akal Purakh, His timelessness, His transcendence and immanence, even His manifestation in the form of the created world of time and space are all to be regarded as aspects of nam. And because Akal- Purakh is infinite, so too is His Name.This stress upon nam as an expression of the inherent nature of Akal Purakh should not imply that it is essentially passive. In the Sikh belief, it is crucial that individuals should understand its active role.[/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=3] [/SIZE] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=3] [/SIZE] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]The second part of the shabad emphasizes the condition of those who have not practiced meditation, self-discipline, self-restraint or righteous living and not served the Holy and further have not acknowledged the Lord. [/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=3] [/SIZE] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=3] [/SIZE] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]In such a situation Nanak advises that one should pray that as the actions are contemptible! and should also pray for the Sanctuary of Lord and further should ask for preserving the honor.

A Sikh is required to lead a virtuous, pure and pious life. This virtue can be attained by always remembering and repeating name of God with full concentration, breath by breath. Nam will create love and affection for all those who are created by God. It is strongly believed that a pious person would be compassionate and contended. He will aspire to serve the needy. He will have no enmity with any one as he knows that God lives in every human being. Hurting of humanity would hurt God. So serve His Creation to serve God and remember Name of God day and night. The mortal can attain God by living in Him, by dying in Him, by Naming Him and in loving Him[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Sikhism believes in worshipping One God ([I]Puja Akal Ki[/I]) who lives every where and in hearts of all. Every Sikh is required to worship Shabad and adore God’s Name. The Name of God washes away the dirt of mind. Sikhism believes in observance of both Bani and Bana.[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]Higher truth is not experienced through the normal process by an average person. Higher truth is not mere fantasy or hallucination of philosophical speculation that comes into the mind of a person but it is in fact an experience undergone through practice of psychosomatic discipline, Simran and regulated Saadhna.
