Sat Nam! Gurbani is all about Nam. Nam means Identity. The Mool Mantra says "Ik Ong Kar, Sat Nam" - there is One Creator/creation and that is my True Identity.
Our True Identity - Sat Nam - is that we are one with God. Nam is a state of constant remembrance of oneness with God (simran.) It is a state of consciousness.
The state of Nam is the state of seeing God in All - in every tree, in every blade of grass, in every moment. It is characterized by a profound sense of gratitude, love, joy and ecstasy.
Wahe Guru! is the spontaneous utterance of that feeling of ecstasy and joy.
By Guru's grace, may you be so blessed.
