Namdev's Philosophy of the Divine Name

[Guest guest]

III. The all-pervading nature of the Name can only be understood

when one recognises his 'I'. When ones own name is not recognised,

it is impossible to get the all-pervading Name.

When one knows oneself, then one finds the Name everywhere.

To see the Name as different from the Named creates illusion.

Namdev says, "Ask the Saints."

 

IV. None can realise the Name by the practice of knowledge, meditation

or austerity. Surrender yourself first at the feet of the Guru and learn

to know that 'I' myself is that Name. After finding the source of that 'I',

merge your individuality in that one-ness, which is Self-existent and

devoid of all duality. That which pervades beyond dwaita and dwaitatita,

that Name has come into the three worlds.

The name is Para Brahman itself, where there is no action arising out

of duality.
