Naam
is the Sound Principle Naam
is characterized by a sweet and serene Sound Current. This Ethereal Music is going on in each individual. In fact, there is no place without It. Its Divine notes can be heard through the
grace of some Master of Divine Music or Master-soul. All the scriptures of the world make pertinent references to this
heavenly Harmony. God
manifested Himself as Naam--the ever rever-berating Naam, The
Vedas, Shastras and Smritis sing of Naam, times without number. *68 GURU ARJAN The
Naam (Sound-principle) reverberating as It is in all hearts, does not diminish
or increase and is Unchanging Permanence, Without
Naam all are just paupers, and this Truth comes only from a Master-Soul. *69 Hearing
the Naam one becomes the knower of the self, and gets all that is good and
noble, Hearing
the Naam all sins drop off of themselves and one easily gets at the Truth, O
Nanak! by hearing the Naam, one's face shines with glory, The
beloved of the Master is ever in contact with the Naam. *70 GURU
NANAK Then
the Eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the Ears of the deaf shall be
unstopped. Then shall the Lame man leap
as an hart, and the Tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters
break out, and streams in the desert.
*71 ISAIAH For
now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part;
but then shall I know even as also I am known. *72 ST.
