Can't Get A Something Just By Repeating Its Name

[Guest Akirtghan]

I was just listening to some Katha and katha vachak raised a very interesting question. He ran outta time and so didin't asnwer the question :sady:

It went something like this.

Just by saying light light light, there can never be light. Just by saying darkness darkness darkness, there can never be darkness. Just by saying sugar sugar sugar our mouth wont taste it. Then howcome Guru Sahib says that by saying Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru Waheguru we will realize/attain/get... waheguru :lol:

Please do veechar.

This is my take from a katha by bhai pinderpal ji. He was answering question as to why we need to read bani without understanding a single word. He gave two analogies:

1. When a doctor prepares medicine he knows what chemicals will work together to fight disease. The sick person by no means need to know its contents for medicine to work. It will work irrespective someone has in depth knowledge of chemicals or not. similarly bani/gurmantar will work to cleanse our souls of the disease of 5 evils.

2. Similarly we don't have to understand how food is digested in our body so that it can provide us nourishment. We simply have to eat and consume it. Just like food for body, bani is food for our soul and we just need to nourish it.

Just like food and medicine take time to effect out body, similarly reading bani and chanting on HIS name will cleanse our soul and finally our inner eyes can open to see The One.

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo jee kee Fateh!

Its the idea of meditation: if you learn to focus on a single thing, you can reach a point of clarity. That's why Mantra exist.

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo jee kee Fateh!

WOW you have the same logo as Papi. I used to be confused about this aswell...until you actually do sit and say waheguru. It changes your inside...I cannot explain how or why but it works.

That is Papi. He changed his screen name.

Naam is not the same as "name". Saying water water won't get you water but repeating naam will get you Vaahiguru. Mool Mantar is the attributes of Vahiguru. After Ik Oankaar and Sat, we have Naam. Naam is an attribute of Vahiguru. Shabad and naad are linked with naam. When we jap naam we are creating a connection with the shabad and naad and it is this dhun of naam by which we can know Vahiguru and we can have darshan within ourselves. Japping naam is creating a connection with Shabad and Shabad is Guru and Guru is Vahiguru.

Can't really write too clearly about such deep spiritual things but I hope I've helped a little.

In Akaal Ustat Guru Gobind Singh Ji says,

jaap ke keeye te jo pai payut ajaap dev. pudna sadeev tuhi tuhi ucharat hai.

If it were possible to realise through jaap alone, then the Pudna bird that utters 'tuhi tuhi' (would be realised).

Guru Ji says again and again, do jap naam. Vaheguru is gurmantar. What is naam?
