WHAT SHOULD WE ASK FOR?
-Guru Nanak Dev ji

Dear God: You bless us with everything we ask of you – we keep asking like beggars and you keep giving. What should I ask for? Since nothing is going to stay forever, I am going to ask for Naam because that is the only thing that has no end. Please bless me with Naam (Simran).

God is in everything but we can’t see him because he is hidden. We have to “see” Waheguru within us via Naam-Simran. With Waheguru’s blessing we become enlightened and realize what’s real and what’s temporary. God has always existed and will continue to exist, everything else comes and goes. We get to attached to Maya (material world and human attachments) that we forget God and Naam-Simran.

Naam-Simran can only be done with Guru’s blessing (therefore we should keep asking for Naam-Simran) because he cuts off all Maya’s chains and saves us from Life-Death-Rebirth cycle.
