TREASURE OF NAAM
– Guru Nanak Dev Ji

God exists in everything, he is immortal and he created the whole existence. He gives all creatures life based on their past (life) deeds. He is capable of eliminating problems in creatures’ lives and past sins in a second. Whether creatures are good or bad he still takes care of everybody. Those rare people who get together to do Naam-Simrun (meditate/worship to God) enjoy eternal spiritual joy. Those who collect the treasure of Naam are saved from Grim Reaper (agent of death) and they don’t lose the game of life (upon death).

God lovers never fear fighting Vikaars (sinful thoughts/acts coming from 5 forms of Maya – Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Ego) and they don’t die spiritual death (when they are alive). They escape reincarnation (cycle of life-death-rebirth). These people are rare in this world. God is amazing as he created this world and has given people Maya to chase. This is why people who connect to God get respect in this life and life after death. The treasure of Naam is like having all 9 types of Wealth (eg, money, gold, etc). The eternal spiritual joy, blessed by God, never ends even after many centuries.

The spiritual life never gets old (even though we age physically), they don’t die spiritual death, and they don’t go to hell. God’s loves are always in high spirit and joy. They never experience problems in life, they become beautiful on the inside and win the game of life when they leave this world (death).
