Wahiguru Akal Purukh, Nam or Shabad and Sadh Kee Sangat. Part 3

Bani of Guru Ram Das:

gurmukh sa-udaa jo karay har vasat samaalay.
The Gurmukh who comes to trade gathers the cargo of the Lord's Name.
The Granth sahib also confirms with these words that, the true Gurmukh has the wealth of Nam Bhandar....
naam niDhaan har vanjee-ai heeray parvaalay. (309-8, gauVI, mÚ 4)He deals in the treasure of the Lord's Name, the jewels and the diamonds.
And so He distributes it freely to those wadbhagee who go to His sharan and take His blessings as Gurparsad...


vin kaa-i-aa je hor thai Dhan khojday say moorh baytaalay.  (309-9, gauVI, mÚ 4)Those who search for this treasure outside of the body, in other places, are foolish demons.
And once one who has got real pearls and diamonds, does not go for stones...this is what the Gurus want to tell us that nothing is compared to Nam bhakti, once Gurprasad is got, evrything is got .... the Lord Har Himself... what else do we need?


 say ujharh bharam bhavaa-ee-ah ji-o jhaarh mirag bhaalay. (309-9, gauVI, mÚ 4)They wander around in the wilderness of doubt, like the deer who searches for the musk in the bushes.
Those who perform other rituals and activities apart from Nam Bhakti, are like beggars, going from door to door, without getting anything valuable....
 There is no need to go anywhere or do anything, the Lord Har is inside us, and there, He is to be found, by the Gurparsad and instructions from a Gurmukh...


kar kirpaa satgur mayli-on mukh gurmukh naam Dhi-aa-isee.By His Grace, He leads us to meet the True Guru; then, as Gurmukh, we chant the Lord's Name, and meditate on it.
Wahiguru Himself makes us meet a Gurmukh, it is not in one´s hands to do so...and if He wishes us so, to meet a Gurmukh of our time, we learn from Him to do Nam Simran, and then only can we meditate on it...such is the greatness of Sadh Kee Sangat...
