evidence — Om′-Tat′-Sat′, and Shri Guru Granth Sahib is pointing<br />
towards the jaap of this very Satnaam. Satnaam-Satnaam is not a<br />
naam 1 for doing jaap. It is indicating towards that naam which is a<br />
true naam, so is this Saarnaam. Om' mantra alone is of no use. These<br />
three naams and the permission to give naam has been granted to<br />
me by my venerable Gurudev Swami Ramdevanand <strong>Ji</strong> Maharaj,<br />
which has been running from generation to generation from Lord<br />
Kabir. First of all you listen to the satsang, serve, as a result of<br />
which your field of bhakti will be prepared.<br />
Kabir, maanush janm pay kar, nahin ratae hari naam |<br />
jaise kuaan jal bina, khudvaaya kis kaam ||<br />
Kabir, ek hari ke naam bina, ye raja rishabh ho |<br />
maati dhovae kumhaar ki, ghaas na daale ko ||<br />
After this, will have to sow seed in your prepared field. You will<br />
not get liberated by studying scriptures (speeches of Lord Kabir,<br />
Vedas, Gita, Puran, Quran, speeches of saints like Dharmdas <strong>Ji</strong><br />
etc). The gist of all these scriptures is only one that, for complete<br />
liberation by taking naam updesh from the nominated saint (who<br />
also has permission from his guru to give naam) of Supreme God<br />
named Lord Kabir, one should get self-welfare done. If one does not<br />
take naam then —<br />
Naam bina soona nagar, padya sakal mein shor |<br />
Loot na looti bandagi, ho gaya hansa bhor ||<br />
Adli aarti adal ajooni, naam bina hai kaaya sooni |<br />
Jhoothi kaaya khaal luhaara, ingla pingla sushman dwaara ||<br />
Krtaghni bhoole nar loi, ja ghat nishchay naam na hoi |<br />
So nar keet patang bhujanga, chauraasi mein dhar hai anga ||<br />
If did not sow the seed of naam, then the tilling i.e. preparation<br />
of the field of the soul is futile. The purport of saying this is that by<br />
these you will gain knowledge which is essential. But to take<br />
naam-updesh 2 from a Purna Guru i.e. to sow the seed is also very<br />
essential. Even will have to do jaap of the same naam which Guru<br />
Nanak <strong>Ji</strong> did, Garibdas <strong>Ji</strong> did, and Dharmdas <strong>Ji</strong> etc saints did. A<br />
living being will not get liberated by any other naam except these.<br />
