Meditate, contemplate the Name of the Lord, O mind.

Thamks for the sabad that is so popular on TV these days.

English translations cannot convey as to what Guru Sahibs have stated. If we read the above 'tuk' the word 'simar', is not reflective of 'Meditate /Contemplate'. In ordinary Punjabi it means 'to Remember'.

Secondly 'Naam' in sikhi is the creator and his creative power that is sustaining/maintaining the world. Kindly note Creator is not only The Naam.

Naam is only a part of creator..to simplify things.

Naam may be that sargun-cum-nirgun part of creator that helps us to understand the creator, whatever little we can do as and when there is HIS mehr. Creator is 'HIS will' and 'HIs Grace'. Naam is Love for God also. Waheguru should be reflective of the love that we express for the Supreme Soul.

Some ramblings and musings.
