Naam - Energy

Naam is an energy. Sometimes, this energy can send us mad, it can also make a fool out of us.

Daas will tell you, it makes us mad, because sometimes we just feel like getting up and jumping around because Naam is overflowing inside us, it can make a fool out of us because we can do some rather 'funny' things with this energy. Now, Daas is guessing most of you are thinking 'so what?' But, because we are living in Gristh Jeevan, it is wise to keep this energy inside us and cultivate it thus, we should use it when we need to - for Sevaa etc.

We should try and keep in Sehaj Avastha as much as possible, as this keeps us rooted to the ground. It keeps us in peace all the time, and Naam recitation automatically carries on inside, without much effort.

This energy of Naam is so strong. To 'shake' this energy off the 3HO Sikhs sometimes 'dance', or do excerises; this keeps them rooted to the ground. This is because 3HO is very basically their life, Naam is their life; they meditate for at least 8 hours a day (3HO is like a Gursikh business).

You will probably notice, once you start letting this energy out then you stop Japping Naam. Have you noticed?

Daas will give you an example. Daas was talking to Father a few days ago, we were supposed to be having a 'civilized' conversation, when suddenly I just had to let it all out, I couldn't hold the 'energy' in and was just laughing for a full half hour. Later on Daas realised that it was a big mistake, because Daas wasn't Japping Naam at the time.

It is so easy to slip into that Anand, but we must remember we are Gristh, otherwise we could sit for days on end in that state, like Gursikhs such as Bhai Rama Singh for 6 months and Bhai Randhir Singh for 4 months, Baba Nand Singh for 5 years etc etc etc...The best time for going into Samaadhee or Bismaadhee is Amritvela; theres nothing like it.
