This is just a blanket statement unless you know otherwise. Gyan is not that simple and it's not about just accepting that he's all.
There are many members in this thread that discuss specific and validated practices. Other members try their best to answer questions as explicitly as possible or guide towards a specific source where available.  No offense, but blanket statements or vague quotes are not what readers from all over the world look for in this particular thread.
Believe me, there are some members  that can see the brahm-jyot in and all around them if they put their dhyian there. But that's just a preliminary stage towards ever seeing the waheguru in all like Bhai Kanhaiya did whilst attending and comforting both muslims and sikhs on the same battlefield.     To say that great gurmukhs like him felt that stage by "just accepting he's all", is an insult to their avasthas.
There is so much kamayee needed before one can get to that stage and that gurmukh's surti would be in turiya avastha at ALL times whilst he's astool (physical) dehi is in maya.    
 

Gurfateh kidsama ji,  This sounds about right, they DO get more active when you start heading towards the satch.  I haven't personally had these things but i've come across a few that have had same issues as you.   My primary suggestion would be to do simran and lots of saas saas so that you can get to hearing shabad and more important;ly, drinking amrit russ(sweet taste).  i'm not sure where you are on the simran ladder,but this should be a major objective.     
 

We have $2 and $1 coins. I carry about four $2s and couple of $1s at least. I never go around using bank card for transactions less than $20. Tea or coffee is about $2 to start. So, I'd feel guilty giving less. If a homeless is stood outside coffee shop or fast food place, I sometimes ask what they'd like and buy them food and drink if I have time. In some areas downtown, many people traveling to work will buy extra coffee or tea for the needy after asking their request. Seeing this is what gave me the idea of buying them food or drink instead of money.

I often get told that they just gonna use the money to buy some gear, but to me that's a self-justifying excuse in order to convince one's self; not to give.
Personally, I give whatever comes into my hands. I always carry about 10-15 bucks loose change. I have habit to go into my pocket and grab whatever and then give without counting. This is just my personal approach and I don't expect others to follow suit. It helps with my own consciousness, since I know I can easily start telling myself "oh no, I should only give 2 bucks here", or on the other hand I might feel that another deserves at least 5 minimum.. So, in order to prevent my mann being influenced by 5 dhoot, I don't let 'mind calculation and thought' get in the way  and sub-consciously give them what Gobind (universe) expects them to receive via my hands.
Now, with regards to second issue of what they do with cash I have another mode of thinking. As per gurbani, we are ALL here to bhog our karams. Past one's and new ones. Karmee avai kapra, nadree mokh duar. In this regard, I feel that I'm doing duty on my end of decent Karam and it's entirely upto the beggar of what they spend the money on and what karam they do. Whether it's to keep warm or get drugs. Saying this, I will usually make small talk and say something like "yeh, I'll give you some change as long as you using it for food or warm drink in this cold". From that point, I feel that I've done my bit of karams and it's upto to waheguru to make judgement of whether the beggar does karam of putting money to good use or bad use. I always try hard to try and not make judgements of others, meaning it's wahguru who decides what karam is good or bad and not me.
Just to add, ..if they are completely intoxicated and incoherent, I might refuse to give any at all and tell them that I would oblige if they were little sober. This happens on rare occasions when I'm certain that they have no idea of the moment and also have zero memory of it later on.
 

Sorry for extremely late reply. Not been on here for some time.
people will tell you different, but in my experience and as per my own journey; you are better doing this once you can stay antarghat for long periods of times doing "mental -silent" simran and attempting rom-rom technique. Once rom rom is in full blow, ie. continues effortly from intital kickstart, then you should spend longer periods of doing "dhyian" (putting concentrated focus on shabad sounds).  
You will find that if done prematurely. then dhyian and focus won't remain constant and mind will just wonder more than usual.
IF just starting out, then only attempt after you can go antarghat and remain in steady state (equilibrium)" Sehaj".  Then you can go back and forth with saas saas and sitting in dhyian

I guess that's a good sign if it gets louder.  I am no expert but I would experiment to see how far I can tolerate it. 
Gurmukhs have referred to this sharp sound as Sehaj Dhun. 
For me it doesn't get louder but just stays noticeable if I bring my awareness to listen to it.  This post has once again piqued my interest in listening to it. 
Once again, I am no expert, trying to walk on this path, stumbling and falling at every stone. More advanced practitioners can confirm. 
 

I sometimes hear the sound starting at 5:01- 5:05
 
@Sat1176  I have noticed that when I am fasting, sounds are more noticeable. Have you noticed anything like that yourself ?
Also, its more noticeable after loud chanting for half an hour. 
In the last 1-2 years, I have stopped paying attention to them, but they are there when I bring my awareness to them.  Feel like spiritual life has just stalled, although deeper understanding of concepts is increasing but mind is still engrossed in old impressions.

I'm editing the original post as I get more references and info... 😉 May move this to it's own topic because it's a very important and very difficult to get accurate descriptions of these states and terms. I know different people say different things and use the terms interchangeably. Very few gurmukhs will even divulge much information about these states other than simply say your on the right path so keep going. It is truly esoteric.

Whatever job you do, try to make it the company of sadh sangat.
This is the company or dealing with people that can help promote the gurmat sikhi within you.
It doesn't have to be the company of Sikhs in their bana, it can be he simple company of people wanting your help or one's that rely on your expertise. In these cases you should act in the best of their interests that helps your own spiritual growth.

I know that it is very difficult in many situations where you work for someone and they only guarantee your employment if you guarantee financial gain at anyone else's expense but that which helps your manager gain. In these cases you may be acting in the best interests of your employer and not the client/customer, for example.

It's grains(brown rice, quinoa) with mixture of vegetables, protein and tahini or ginger sauce. You can google and you'll find a whole load of different recipes.  Have a look below to get an idea.......
https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/whats-a-buddha-bowl/
We always add some fruit in addition,... like fresh pineapple, oranges, pear..and give it a cook on the griddle until grill marks appear.  It's not really a diet per se and  I'm having it about 4 days a week. Especially on days when workout is mainly weights without cardio. That way testosterone levels are up, especially with foods like soya beans, avocado and spinach. 
I started this some weeks ago and needed a method to increase muscle mass without having to worry about weight gain in the wrong areas. It seems to be going pretty well so far with results coming along.  
I was using huldee root for quite a while and cutting it up to put in nutribullet smoothies. The main problem was the stains it would leave on my hands that wouldn't always wash off easy. I think I'm gonna stick with the powder and just have it like a yoghurt sauce with black peppercorns and see how it goes. 

I don't think that you have interpreted the post correctly.
I can't see anything about blind faith, going against logic(which is part of illusion),... and enforcing miracles !

Why do you speak so harshly towards my respected veer ?

Why do you speak against Baba Deep Singh ji ??........If you don't understand that he was able to continue without his head... then you don't realise what consciousness/soul is.

Correct.
The early sounds you hear are pavan shabads. . You still have a way to go before the real bhagtee begins and naam gets pargat.
It will be confusing a little this stage and it is only happening because you are going antarghat. . At this stage you can start practice going deep into saas saas. start with saas grass, get quieter as you settle...into saas saas( jap quietly with breath...keep going until settled enough to do saas saa but ALL the japna in silence with surti,. ie. breathe in-"wahe", breathe out "guru'... 'wahe-guru" done internally in complete silence with surti

Totally agree.
Because there is no one single definition to describe naam, shabad and naad,.. they are sometimes used interchangeably.
You have to experience it for yourself and you will know when ''Naam'' begins to get pargat and then how you start getting attuned to it.
A simple way of helping yourself to understand it is to think of the naad, shabad, oung....as being a vibration- just like everything else in the Universe.
As per physics; we know that to graph a vibrational wave with peaks and troughs, there is always some source or origin where it begins or originates from.....and if we eliminate this source of origin, then the vibrational wave ceases to exist.
A wave of vibration, as we understand is also what connects the source of origin to the receiver/perceiver.
....bearing this mind, I like to think of -
-Naam as being the source of origin... or the infinite/unknown. aad jugadh, ajuni source
-Naad or shabad as being the vibrational wave that is active in all of creation.... this is analogous to a sound wave, but not like the one's on this physical plane where they diminish in amplitude over a distance. The NAAM is continuous and is not affected by any resistive forces.
As per anand sahib....'Naam jin kai mann vasia, vajey shabad ganerey''....... the Naam becomes pargat or manifests when one hears/feels the shabad vibrating within the mind. This goes on 24/7. If it's not 24/7, then it is not pargat yet.
We could also say that one begins to get taste and feel this naam state of mind by connecting with the shabad/naad
 
Getting back to the OP question
''Is Naam the Anhad Naad?"......
Well, anhad naad is a form of the naam or a manner in which one experiences naam. Strictly speaking, it's impossible to configure or describe in words unless one begins to experience it through naam kamayee. And all abyasees will tell you the same.
You will also understand that Naam is not something that can be initiated by master whispering into initiates ear.. .as sometimes understood by some Naam is also not inured or obtained in amrit sanchar either
We have to earn all of these with free will and efforts (Kamayee)

THIS IS IT......EXCELLENT!!!
It is smack-on, every single word.       Where was this written originally?...I know it's a translation from Isher Singh Rara sahib

A lot of the kathas and other materials on anhad were wrong and misleading if you remember Sat?... that's why it took ages to work out what was what and what we should be looking for. At last we can look into gurbani ourselves and have a much better idea of what something refers to.

Yes. gurmantar we refer to is 'Wahe-Guru'
Gurmantar can also be called Guru-shabad.....(the Guru's shabad)

However, PLEASE NOTE....my understanding is that ''Guru-Shabad'' and ''Shabad-Guru'' terms are not really interchangeable.

Guru-Shabad = Guru's shabad(shabad from guru) or gurmantar (waheguru)
Shabad-Guru= the Shabad that is itself the Guru..... the anhad, the dunn,the reverberation heard with sukham(subtle) sareer....Guru Nanak ji says ''Shabd-guru surat dhun chela''....(((My guru is the the shabad dhun sound vibration and I am it's following disciple.)))
.

Just acknowledge them and let them be.
These sounds are normally experienced along the journey and are 'AIR" sounds basically......meaning they are still maya/illusion.
Remembering that the guru of maya is Pavan(AIR)....pavan guru pani pita.....
This is the reason we have to conquer and go within 'air' as part of simran...ie.use of breath in saas graas and saas saas.

Like I say, just acknowledge them but at the same time keep the main focus on gurmantar. If you encounter times when these sounds may just surface and grab your attention, then start the gurmantar jap.
