Doing satnaam is serving the sant

Sat Naam

When we do satnaam we are serving the sant.   Without serving sants no one normally goes to God (except a few like baba ji and baba nanak who God himself became their sant satguru) .  The sants are the doorways to God's court, dargah.     Gur dwara means God's door.   Baba ji said that Dassan Dass ji is his walking, talking, living breathing Gurdwara.   So when you do satnaam under the blessings of your sant they are letting you enter God's court in your own heart.

Sant kee sang vadbhaagee paaiyaay.
Sant kee seva Naam dhiyaay.
Naam tul avar na hoi.
Nanak gurmukh Naam pavaa Jan koi.

Meeting a sant, only the greatly fortunate do so,
Serve the sant by surrendering to Naam.
Nothings equals the Naam.
Nanak: Only the rare one gets the Naam of the gurmukh (enlightened soul/guru).
