Why Naam is the best Gift than all of the Wealth? All other stuff is just temporary!
With all of the husle and bustle of Christmas shopping, gift buying, giving and all of the recent economic ups and downs of housing bubble, high tech bubble, stock market bubble, this bubble,that bubble. It is just mind boggling how much information we as humans are fed everyday and I don't know about you out there, but I can't keep up with it all and it will be just crazy to even try. I mean people just get stressed out about gifts, money and all of this other stuff during this so called "Holiday Season" in the Western World. It is the same craze in Indian culture during weddings, Diwali etc. i think it is because India has heavily borrowed Western values and culture in the last 60 years or so after Independemce. I wouldn't be surprised the same depression, stress is out there in the India. But I like how India is getting back to yoga and spirituality lately though. But I hope it is not just because the Westerners are getting into Yoga etc. and is a genuine approach to solving human problems through yoga. Sometimes, I wonder, how many of these people are really happy? it seems like depression is becoming more prevalent in the societies we live in irrespective of the religion or culture we belong to. It shouldn't be like this and I don't think Jesus even wanted people to be like this, but who I am I to judge, I am not a Christian. And, our Gurus also teach us to mind our own business and not judge others. But it just seems crazy watching these people in stores. So how does one survive in these times and what bubble should we be really worrying about? Guru Ji answers it in today's hukum below and tells us how Name of Our Lord is the only way out of this bubble. So what is really Naam and how do I get it? Is it repeating the "Waheguru" mantar, or is plainly keeping Waheguru in back of one's mind or repeating Satnam and Waheguru consciously and subconsciously while doing good acts or seva or sitting in Sadh Sangat? At least this is what I think would be the way to receive or invest in this wealth of Naam. What are your thoughts and how would you get Naam? Please share if you like:
