How can saying a simple word, "satnaam" take us to God?

Satnaam

We may think what's the big deal about saying Satnaam,  it's just a word?  But when we say it God in our heart hears us and says "hey, someone is calling my name,   better go to them."  How do you feel when your friends call your name and are happy to see you?  How do feel when they ignore you? If they call you with love you want to spend more time with them,  if they ignore you you will ignore them too.  Same with God in our heart. Call his name, Satnaam, and one day He comes out as light and amrit and love, ignore him and he stays invisible like fire locked in the wood.

Say it right now, call him with love in your heart,  "Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam." 

It may seem like how can a simple word like Satnaam take us to the Amighty God? Well a small acorn grows into a mighty oak. Also,  a boy was asked, "I dare  you to walk around the world?" and he replied, "no problem." 

"But how, your just a little boy?"   asked the man.

"One step at a time, just one step at a time,"   replied the boy.

Look at your own body,  once we were just a few cells in the womb,  then a tiny baby.  Just one mouthful of milk and later food at a time, and look at the size of us now.

So don't underestimate the power of each Satnaam you say,  it's "food for your soul" says baba ji.  You grow in spirit, you become infinite divine light, you finish the journey of your soul from so many life times.  All by saying with heartfelt love, "Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam forever Satnaam."

Stop saying it,  and your journey stops, your growth stops.  Start saying it, you move forward again.

Just like the tiny acorn, it has all the potential built into it, but without the right conditions it rots away.   The guru is the gardener, he waters our mind with grace and plants the acorn of Satnaam in the field of our astral body.  Do simran and you activate all the hidden processes in the mind and body to take you to the soul.  

Baba nanak ji says in jap ji as well,  "by listening ( to satnaam) all the secrets of the body to unite with God become known.   By listening (to Satnaam) you get all the divine understanding of the holy books."  (sunnia jugat jugat tan bhed. Sunnia sastr simret ved.)
