This is also the Naam that has been referred to in SGGS ji. This Naam is also energised by the Almighty and one can feel the holy vibrations like 'naad'/panch dhun etc [ as the posts of Adeep ji mentions] etc. although I know of none. However, the holy vibes are there all the times.It is also the way I am told thru. some posts on this forum.</p><p> </p><p><span style="color: blue"><em>Secondly: </em></span><span style="color: black">The Naam is also Name of the causes Of All causes, i.e Waheguru or called by whatever name that suits.

[QUOTE="harpreetsingh, post: 59619, member: 5138"] Respected Balbir ji, We are all sailing in the same Boat and see the color of water the way it appears. To some it may be blue to some it may be green or something else depending upon the long shadows of surroundings. We all tread our path and lobor alone. There is no shortcuts on this route .None can help anyone on this path. We dig our own wells. Everything is pre-destined and if it has to be it will. if not, we are all helpless. I do thank you, Sir, for your magnanimity that you have enlightened me with your way of looking and have advised me to seek the Sangat of Holy .I shall do that necessarily as I am not a regular visitor of Gurudwara. I really need a change and will have to unshell myself Naam ,as has been used , is representative of two things. [COLOR=blue][I]One:[/I][/COLOR] the sole cause of all causes i.e. the eternal word which brought this creation into being. This can be Ong or some similar [derivative of Om or Aum or something like this]. I would not be very sure of as to whether there is an explicit reference in SGGS ji. This is also the Naam that has been referred to in SGGS ji. This Naam is also energised by the Almighty and one can feel the holy vibrations like 'naad'/panch dhun etc [ as the posts of Adeep ji mentions] etc. although I know of none. However, the holy vibes are there all the times.It is also the way I am told thru. some posts on this forum. [COLOR=blue][I]Secondly: [/I][/COLOR][COLOR=black]The Naam is also Name of the causes Of All causes, i.e Waheguru or called by whatever name that suits. It may be thru. Satnam or Ek Ongkar or other Mantra. [/COLOR] These are the two essential differences that I have not thought of earlier. I quote below from [COLOR=darkorange][I][U][B]'Sukhmani Sahib ji[/B][/U][/I][/COLOR]', I must have stared at the following lines more than thousand times, but the meaning was just revealed to me only the other day.
