Just doing Satnaam satnaam is not enough, we have to do good deeds too. Bin gun keetay bhagat no hoi. Without good deeds there is no bhagti...dhan baba nanak ji.
Satnaam is the flame that burns in the oil of good deeds. Without oil there is no flame and even a parrot can just repeat satnaam.
Without good deeds and battling our thieves , just repeating satnaam is no better than chanting a mantra, and gurbani says God ia beyond that, na tantr na jantr na mantr.
God is not in our hands, like we flick a switch and turn the light on, just reciting satnaam as a mere mantra is not going to make god appear, we need to really transform our mind , our character, ourself completely , for pure only comes to pure. Without seva from the heart , day in day out, there is no transformation even if u just keep chanting like a parrot day and night.
Clean the toilets, rub your face in the dirt, sit and eat with the lowly, down and outs, what is bitter deem it as sweet, instead of chasing delicacies put healthy but not tasty innyour mouth, instead of sitting in comforts, get up and exercise and experience some discomfort, instead of hot showers, make it cold as well sometimes, instead of being happy on receiving gifts be happier in giving, o my stupid mind, get out of comforts pleasures and me and mine. Do those things you dont want to, see gold and dirt as the same, chocolate and fruit, bitter and sweet, all as same. Whatever your mind wants or craves go and do the opposite. Satnaam.
