Merged in Naam

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

JAP MAN, HAR HAR NAAM TARAAVAIGOJO JO JAPAI, SOYEE GAT PAAVAI; JIYON DHROO PRAHLAAD SAMAAVAIGO

This pankiti means:O my mann, japp Har Har (Gurmat Naam) that is will take you across this worldly ocean. Whoever japps Naam, gets across this ocean; and like Prahlaad jee and Dhru jee, get merged in it.

A normal reader can very easily get misled by these pankitis if he does not read the next two pankitis that go as follows:

KIRPA KIRPA KIRPA KAR HAR JEEO, KAR KIRPA NAAM LAGAAVAIGOKAR KIRPA SATGURU MILAAVO, MIL SATGUR NAAM DHIYAAVAIGO

Guru Sahib begs Waheguru for concentration in Naam. In the next pankiti he makes it clear by supplicating before Waheguru and asking for milaap (meeting) with Satguru and that only through Satguru (True Guru) can one japp naam.

In the light of these pankitis, one thing is clear for sure that only through true Guru can one get Naam and only through Naam can one merge in Waheguru. Now armed with this principle we should go and interpret the pankitis that say that Dhru jee and Prahlaad jee got merged in Naam.

The possibilities are as follows:

1) These bhagats merged in the Kirtam Naam (not true Naam) and merged in it. Merging in Kirtam Naam is not a small thing. It is a very high level position. Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh jee writes that ones who do sincere bhagtee of Kirtam Naam (Raam Raam, Krishna etc.) go up to Karam Khand i.e. one level below Sach Khand.

2) Second possibility is that Dhru jee and Prahlaad jee took birth again in Kalyug and became Sikhs of Guru Nanak and became one with Vaheguru. It is a known fact that many bhagats from old ages, took birth in the house of Guru Nanak to elevate up to Sach Khand. So has been written in Sikh history and has been accepted by Sikh saints like Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh jee and Taksali Mahapurakhs. Taksali Mahapurakhs believe that the Bhatts were incarnation of the Hindu gods like Brahma with Kal Sahaar being Brahma himself.
