What Gurbani say about NAAM? what is NAAM? what is Gurmantar's relation to NAAM?

<<<<< REPLY >>>>>

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.
