Bani of Guru Ram Das:
Anidnu nwmu jphu gurisKhu hir krqw siqguru GrI vswey ] (308-5, gauVI, mÚ 4)
an-din naam japahu gursikhahu har kartaa satgur gharee vasaa-ay.O
GurSikhs, chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord, night and day; through the True Guru, the Creator Lord will come to dwell within the home of your inner being.
With this line of Chauthvee Patshahee, importance of Nam Simran as the only method to realize Wahiguru is given in.
Any other activity apart from this will not take us to His Darbar. In our comunities we may perform outer customs and traditions, to show them that I am like one of you, this is a human to human relation, though we may think, we are performing something good ...... sorry to dissapoint....but in the eyes of Akal Purukh, nothing of this has any value. Becasuse with any outer activity, we may become better citizens, better warriors, better scholars, better nationals, better in every field, but not in spirituality or ruhaniyat.
Rather our ego gets inflated, as if we have done something valuable, but the fact is we are totally empty. In the eyes of the people we may look spiritualy inclined, but that is only a dream.
Truth can be realized and experienced by attaching ourselves to it, and so what is that truth?
That truth is ony one, and that is Satnam. So how do we attach ourselves to it? Guru Sahiban clearly states: Chant the Name day and night, means do Nam Simran while drinking, eating, sleeping, walking....... it should be that important for us, just as breathing.
Then He says :through the True Guru. Means, get the updesh or Gurprasad from a Gurmukh, and do it´s kamaee as mentioned in the previous line .....by chanting it day and night, but also taking out time through the day, and regularly and punctually dedicating it to meditate on that Name or Nam, so that our soul can ascend and penetrate into the spiritual realms and have His darshan.
Then He says what ocurrs, if we do Nam Simran according to the instructions given by the Gurmukh; well He says the Lord Har, will come to dwell in our chit, in our innermost being, means we shall have His constant and permanent Darshan.
And once having achieved this....... nothing else is left to be done.
That is why the Bani very clearly says:
PRABH KA SIMRAN SABH TE OOCHA
PRABH KA SIMRAN DARGEH MANEH
PRABH KA SIMRAN, SADH KEE SANGAT
