The name remembered any time or each time is if throwing a pebble in the ocean of the wisdom. This mystic ocean gives the troughs and crusts of divine knowledge as experience and the wisdom in the original form, which the intellect cannot grasp.
Thus, going beyond the grasping of the intellect and dwelling in the divine or the mystical wisdom, is the original and natural life. However, we may talk about the natural life exceptionally with a sharp intellect present within all of us.
However, without the realization of the mysticism and the metaphysics, it is not possible to live and lead a natural life, though we may claim, that we know it and live. We may have to check it if we really understand and enjoy it due to knowledge or experience it as the joy mystic wisdom, the joy, which lacks words, though we use words; say the bliss, transcendental, metaphysical, mystic, enlightenment, tranquility, peace of mind and so on.
The learning and earning by self-gives one an eligibility to walk on the divine path of soul or spiritual evolution, Naam Japna is not mere repetition of words rather it is obeying what the word, the teachings according to Gurbani says.
You see we have to understand what is Naam. Have you a coin? Yaw, get it and check. What does it show on one side. It is the value of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 cents or pennies, but does it worth if on the other side there is no name of the authority that issues it. The other side must have name. This name of the government does not show any value, but because of it the coin has value, is not it. It is Naam that gives worth to what we have as value of body and all that we possess.
Now, when one hears:
"Jagat Bhikhari Firat Hai, Sab Ko Data Ram" (Gurbani)
It means all are beggars and only the God is Giver. We tend to think, feel and believe that we are rich and have everything, so how can we be beggars. Yaw it seems right, but it is not.
Do you buy sunlight, air, water (do not be silly if we get it from shop-it may be rain or sea water!), space (now that is not land that we have!) that we use to fly our planes and rockets, the fire in the body, now we can keep counting all that we get from nature, keep counting and you see more we count more gratitude pours from our eyes because we get it free, so we are beggars. Now, the consciousness makes us alive and we live that is also free.
Sad, do not worry,
"Is Dharti Pai Teri Sikdsari..." (Gurbani)
"O Human! You are the King of Earth..."
Why beggars then:
"Narpat Ek Singhasan Soya Supne Bhaya Bhikhari..."(Gurbani)
"It is as if a King in sleep finds one self beggar and cries..."
What it means that when we do not care about all that we get from nature for free, we misuse and our conscience sleeps, we become ignorant and cry for more possessions and feel poor that makes us the beggars. For our needs, we are the kings and Queens and for greed, alas! We are the beggars.
Well, we may think about it: Why the rose is surrounded by thorns? Clue-Bliss is surrounded by the sorrows, both rose and bliss are not absent! Thanks!
