So in short, if you wish to receive Naam/Gur Mantar then it has be "given" by the Guru.<BR/><BR/>ਕੇਵਲ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੀਓ ਗੁਰਿ ਮੰਤੁ ॥<BR/><B>Kėval nām ḏīo gur manṯ.</B><BR/><I>The Guru has given me the Mantra of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.</I><BR/>(Ang 183)<BR/><BR/>The Guru not only gives the Gur Mantar but he implants/churns (ਦ੍ਰਿੜ ਕਰਨਾ) the Mantar within the seeker:<BR/><BR/>ਨਾਮੁ ਜਪੇ ਜਪਿ ਜੀਵਣਾ ਗੁਰਿ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੁ ਦ੍ਰਿੜਾਇਆ ॥੧॥<BR/><B>Nām japė jap jīvṇā gur manṯar driṛāiā. ||1||</B><BR/><I>I live by chanting and meditating on the Naam. <B>The Guru has implanted this Mantra within me.</B> ||1|| </I><BR/>(Ang 399)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Just to follow up on the point of Gur Mantar - some people have the question in their mind, "I know I should do Jaap (recitation) of "WAHEGURU" so why do I need to take Amrit or go pesh (present oneself) in front of the Guru-Roop Panj Pyaare in Amrit Sanchaar?"<BR/><BR/>Anybody can know the WORD Waheguru, i.e. hear it, read it, know about it etc, BUT ONLY the PANJ PYAARE can give it to an Amritdhari during the Amrit Sanchaar. Then ONLY does it become the "GUR MANTAR" (meaning the "Mantra given by the Guru").<BR/><BR/>Through receiving Amrit & Naam externally through the Guru Sahib (in the form of the Panj Pyaare in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib jee), the Amrit & Naam "within us" becomes churned and manifest. Some Mahapurkh give the example of a water well needing water to be pour into the ground before the water within the ground pumps upwards.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Please read the posts on the links below that should hopefully be helpful to you:<BR/><A HREF="http://forums.waheguroo.com/Q-and-A-If-All-Paths-Are-Equal-Then-Why-Was-Sikhi-Made-t16624.html" REL="nofollow">1) Sikhi & Other Religions</A><BR/><A HREF="http://forums.waheguroo.com/Q-and-A-Did-Anyone-Get-To-God-Before-Guru-Nanak-t16892.html" REL="nofollow"><BR/>2) Before Guru Nanak Sahib Jee...</A><BR/><BR/><BR/>Bhul Chuk MaafManvir Singh (UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17987883036901467330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914292.post-52970853660338710482007-06-27T00:41:00.000+01:002007-06-27T00:41:00.000+01:00Paaji..so am i right in thinking that if one hasn'...Paaji..so am i right in thinking that if one hasn't taken Amrit, then one cannot attain Naam and therefore cannot attain Mukhti? <BR/>What about people of other religions?<BR/>Bhul Chuk Maaf Karna JiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914292.post-48546759297637993902007-06-25T09:26:00.000+01:002007-06-25T09:26:00.000+01:00Nice post!Manvir Singhji.Waheguru ji ka khalsa!Wah...Nice post!Manvir Singhji.<BR/>Waheguru ji ka khalsa!<BR/>Waheguru ji ki FatehBalbir Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781926808950404441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914292.post-81921366237613835742007-06-24T21:41:00.000+01:002007-06-24T21:41:00.000+01:00veerji u did it soo wikid yesterday, and the rehra...veerji u did it soo wikid yesterday, and the rehras was sikk to :D<BR/>VahegurooUttam Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10845065698367132162noreply@blogger.com
