The Naam is the Support of all creatures. The Naam is the Support of the earth and solar systems. The Naam is the Support of the Simritees, the Vedas and the Puraanas. The Naam is the Support by which we hear of spiritual wisdom and meditation. The Naam is the Support of the Akaashic ethers and the nether regions. The Naam is the Support of all bodies. The Naam is the Support of all worlds and realms. Associating with the Naam, listening to it with the ears, one is saved. Those whom the Lord mercifully attaches to His Naam - O Nanak, in the fourth state, those humble servants attain salvation. 5

Chanting the Naam

This Shabad is by Guru Arjan Dev Ji in Siree Raag on Pannaa 46

Siree Raag, Fifth Mehla: Meeting the True Guru, all my sufferings have ended, and the Peace of the Lord has come to dwell within my mind. The Divine Light illuminates my inner being, and I am lovingly absorbed in the One. Meeting with the Holy Saint, my face is radiant; I have realized my pre-ordained destiny. I constantly sing the Glories of the Lord of the Universe. Through the True Name, I have become spotlessly pure. 1 O my mind, you shall find peace through the Word of the Guru's Shabad. Working for the Perfect Guru, no one goes away empty-handed. 1Pause The desires of the mind are fulfilled, when the Treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord, is obtained. The Inner-knower, the Searcher of hearts, is always with you; recognize Him as the Creator. By Guru's Grace, your face shall be radiant. Chanting the Naam, you shall receive the benefits of giving charity and taking cleansing baths. Sexual desire, anger and greed are eliminated, and all egotistical pride is abandoned. 2 The Profit of the Naam is obtained, and all affairs are brought to fruition. In His Mercy, God unites us with Himself, and He blesses us with the Naam. My comings and goings in reincarnation have come to an end; He Himself has bestowed His Mercy. I have obtained my home in the True Mansion of His Presence, realizing the Word of the Guru's Shabad. 3 His humble devotees are protected and saved; He Himself showers His Blessings upon us. In this world and in the world hereafter, radiant are the faces of those who cherish and enshrine the Glories of the True Lord. Twenty-four hours a day, they lovingly dwell upon His Glories; they are imbued with His Infinite Love. Nanak is forever a sacrifice to the Supreme Lord God, the Ocean of Peace. 41181

sorath mehlaa 1 cha-utukay. Sorat h, First Mehl, Chau-Tukas: maa-ay baap ko baytaa neekaa sasurai chatur javaa-ee. The son is dear to his mother and father; he is the wise son-in-law to his father-in-law. baal kanniaa kou baap pi-aaraa bhaa-ee kou at bhaa-ee. The father is dear to his son and daughter, and the brother is very dear to his brother. hukam bha-i-aa baahar ghar chhodi-aa khin meh bha-ee paraa-ee. By the Order of the Lord s Command, he leaves his house and goes outside, and in an instant, everything becomes alien to him. naam daan isnaan na manmukh tit tan Dhoorh Dhumaa-ee. 1 The self-willed manmukh does not remember the Name of the Lord, does not give in charity, and does not cleanse his consciousness; his body rolls in the dust. 1 man maani-aa naam sakhaa-ee. The mind is comforted by the Comforter of the Naam. paa-ay para-o gur kai balihaarai jin saachee boojh bujhaa-ee. rahaa-o. I fall at the Guru s feet - I am a sacrifice to Him; He has given me to understand the true understanding. Pause jag si-o jhooth pareet man bayDhi-aa jan si-o vaad rachaa-ee. The mind is impressed with the false love of the world; he quarrels with the Lord s humble servant. maa-i-aa magan ahinis mag johai naam na layvai marai bikh khaa-ee. Infatuated with Maya, night and day, he sees only the worldly path; he does not chant the Naam, and drinking poison, he dies. ganDhan vain rataa hitkaaree sabdai surat na aa-ee. He is imbued and infatuated with vicious talk; the Word of the Shabad does not come into his consciousness. rang na raataa ras nahee bayDhi-aa manmukh pat gavaa-ee. 2 He is not imbued with the Lord s Love, and he is not impressed by the taste of the Name; the self-willed manmukh loses his honor. 2 saaDh sabhaa meh sahj na chaakhi-aa jihbaa ras nahee raa-ee. He does not enjoy celestial peace in the Company of the Holy, and there is not even a bit of sweetness on his tongue. man tan Dhan apunaa kar jaani-aa dar kee khabar na paa-ee. He calls his mind, body and wealth his own; he has no knowledge of the Court of the Lord. akhee meet chali-aa anDhi-aaraa ghar dar disai na bhaa-ee. Closing his eyes, he walks in darkness; he cannot see the home of his own being, O Siblings of Destiny. jam dar baaDhaa tha-ur na paavai apunaa kee-aa kamaa-ee. 3 Tied up at Death s door, he finds no place of rest; he receives the rewards of his own actions. 3 nadar karay taa akhee vaykhaa kahnaa kathan na jaa-ee. When the Lord casts His Glance of Grace, then I see Him with my own eyes; He is indescribable, and cannot be described. kannee sun sun sabad salaahee amrit ridai vasaa-ee. With my ears, I continually listen to the Word of the Shabad, and I praise Him; His Ambrosial Name abides within my heart. nirbha-o nirankaar nirvair pooran jot samaa-ee. He is Fearless, Formless and absolutely without vengeance; I am absorbed in His Perfect Light. naanak gur vin bharam na bhaagai sach naam vadi-aa-ee. 43 O Nanak, without the Guru, doubt is not dispelled; through the True Name, glorious greatness is obtained. 43
