The
astpadi explains that the remembrance of the
Nam of IkOankar (the Divine) naturally encompasses all the methods and techniques of yogic practices. A seeker absorbed in the remembrance of Nam does not need to rely on these practices. With the teachings of Wisdom (
Guru), the seeker awakens their consciousness, and a natural state of bliss and joy arises within them. The phenomenal world and its elements no longer affect or waver them. Detached from worldly desires, their mind remains steadfast in a steady state. The radiance of Nam dispels all negative thoughts from within them. For this reason, Bhagat Beni
Ji pleads for the gift of IkOankar’s Nam.
