Re: Meaning of this Shabad please
I would certainly agree to the last kine of your message.
Would you please make me clear how understanding is different from knowing and defining.?
My understanding is otherwise I think you can understand what you know and define.How one can understand anything which can not be known and defined.?

Prakashji,
Understanding is different from knowing, this is confusing you maybe, but it's not too difficult, I think.
Understanding the lord's creation is a reason why we are on this forum.
We understand that there is a One Almighty. But we don't know him or it, we know of this creator. Do you follow this ?
In the same way, we understand Guru Nanak's message and teachings, or we try to understand. BUT, we don't know him, we don't liase with him. We could never know what his actions or next steps would be even if we were in that time era, could we.
His teachings, his work, is what is important and ALL we need to know. Knowing him or knowing which side of the bed he gets out is not important and we would never know..
Do you understand what I mean ?
In the same way this is what I was saying about 'naam'
It's the understanding that is important, not the chasing to know exactly what it is. It's a huge concept, like I said.
I think may be you get confused with this grammar and vocab as you seem to try and define and 'know' the WORD.
When, I think, all we need is to UNDERSTAND not 'KNOW' of it as such.
This is just my view of where I think your approach sometimes may seem unnecessary to others as they may feel that they 'understand' without applying your theoritical approach.This is how I have said earlier that I feel.. I get the same message and essence from bani wether I use your approach or not, maybe it's just me!!!
