SatNaam Ji
Dandauth Bandhna ji
QN: Someone told me to do mool manter, but you guys do "Satnaam Satnaam"?
In the Alcoholic Anonymous Big Book, they say the first thing an alcoholic has to do to recover is to accept that by his own power he has not been able to get free of his addiction. So he needs to accept their is a higher power who can free him through spiritual expereince. But alot of people have issues with calling the higher power God, because the priests have put them off religion. So in the AA book they say you can think of the Higher Power as a bunch f higher qualities that you aspire to, eg kindess, compassion, love, equality. This is exactly what Guru Nanak Dev Ji has done by giving us Mool Manter. Dhan Guru Nanak Dev ji refocused people's attention to their own highest Truth Consciousness - the description of their own soul as being God. Rather than what the priests were preching at that time about stone idols, or holy rocks, or lesser gods and supernatural beings (devi-devtas). Baba ji also said we are on a journey through consciousness. We start in lower consciousness (5 thieves, desires, etc), we do truthful deeds and move up into good consciousness, but when we merge into our own soul - we become Truth Conscious. And that Jesus Guru Nanak, Mohammed and others were all Truth Conscious Beings.
So Mool Manter is a good place to start doing simran (Dassan Dass ji advised us to get our kids to do this every day), it describes Truth Consciousness, its describes your own immacualte soul, it is a description of Truth Consciousness (SATNAAM) that we aspire to -
Ik onkar satnaam - One God whose name is "Truth",
the Creator being, fearless, without hate, unborn, undying, self-created,
realised by the Gurus Eternal Blessings.
When you do Mool Manter you stop focusing on your own lower consciousness thoughts and instead are reminding yourself of your own soul's identifty - that you too are also from the one God, your soul is the Truth (it is permanent), it is the creative force within you (keeps you breathing, reproducing, heart pumping),
you are fearless and hate free (i.e. full of love for one and all), it never is born nor does it die and you self-realise with the Gurus Eternal Blessings.
Start with mool manter but then come onto Satnaam Satnaam, but its for the Guru to give you the Naam and the blessings and the instructions. Otherwise theres millions of people out there all ready to tell you something or the other about what to do - but ask them , have they realised the Truth? If not, why are they advising anyone else when they havent finished their own journey yet - blind leading the blind.
