WITHOUT NAAM MEDITATION 2
Guru Sahib gives us many quotes from Guru Granth Sahib Jee, on how our lives would be without the Name of God (Vaheguroo).
"Without the Name, no one is approved."
Guru Nanak Dev Jee has made it clear in the quote above, without the name of the Lord Vaheguroo, no one will be approved. No matter how hard one tries, one can try anything under the Sun, if the breath is not occupied by the name of God, one will not be approved in the court of God (dargaah). Even the Rehit (physical discipline) we keep, will not be approved if it is not accompanied by each breath of Naam. Every physical Rehit is kept to protect aatmic (spiritual) Rehit. If there is no spiritual substance in one, then the physical Rehit becomes Pakhand (hypocrisy). If the Sevaa (selfless service) we do is not accompanied by the Name of God, then the Sevaa will also not be approved by Akaal Purakh Vaheguroo. The reason for this is, when our breath is accompanied by the Mantra Vaheguroo, then everything we do is blessed by God and we are Neemaane (humble) to God's will. If our breath is not occupied by the Name, then every karam (deed) we do is done through self-ego. It is done through a mind wondering through thought and desire and not a mind full of love for Vaheguroo. Which means, love for his creation through the meditation of Naam.
We always think we are in control and doing the right thing but the ego’s subtle form is very deceiving! The mind is very clever, it controls us throughout every second of the day. We have to watch and be aware of our every breath and action. Every breath and action should be filled with Akaal Purakh Vaheguroo's forever lasting love (Naam).
Note! Sikhi new comers; keep rehit, proceed in sevaa, remain in Gursikh Sangat, plan your life towards Amrit, with your mind centred and focussed on the shabad Vaheguroo. In this way, Guru Sahib ji will bless you and all of us to reside at their lotus feet and the mind/soul will be liberated. The life's journey will become complete.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji Says, "Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, ALL their actions are useless, like the magician who deceives through illuions."
Vaheguroo!
