2b) Nanak Naam ( With a bar under M of Naam, and a bar under K of Nanak)

 

ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ੠ਨਾਮ੠ਲਠਤਾ ਜੀਵੈ ਬਿਨà©

ਨਾਵੈ ਖਿਨ੠ਮਰਿ ਜਾਇਆ ॥੨॥

Jan Nanak Naam lay ta Jivay bin navay khin may jaeyaa ||2||

Servant Nanak chants the Naam, and so he lives. Without the Name, he

would die in an instant. ||2||

 

3) Nanak ( a bar under K of Nanak)

 

ਨਾਨਕ੠ਨੀਚ੠ਕਹੈ ਵੀਚਾਰ੠॥

Nanak neech kahay vichar

 

Here is one perspective one may understand

 

1) Nanak is the creator ( is the Sabad Guru, (without a bar under

Ka)), Nanak is also the Naam ( dhun/Sound of The Word Nanak) which is the base

(aadhar) of all lives (surti/Awarness) and Nanak (as surti/Awarness in

the physical

form, ( a bar under Ka of Nanak)) guides how to connect with Naam.

 

2) Nanak is Na Na Kar: various / numerous forms/manifestations: form

and formless

 

3) Na Na kur: Never say No to anything because creation is imbued in saying

" No " (Nah Bhog)

 

ਨੰਨੈ ਨਾਹ ਭੋਗ ਨਿਤ ਭੋਗੈ ਨਾ ਡੀਠਾ

ਨਾ ਸੰਮà©à¨¹à¨²à¨¿à¨†à¥¥

Nannaye nah bhog nit bhogaye na dithay na sammlia

 

4) Nanak is Nanah, The small, The Child, The Naam of the Creator

 

5) A step towards Nanak seems to be, to stop saying " NO " to anything

 

 

Thank You
