naanak sabh kichh naavai kai vas hai poorai bhaag ko paa-ee.
O Nanak, everything is under the influence of the Naam; by perfect good destiny, a few obtain it.
 
gurmatee ghat chaannaa naam ant sakhaa-ee.
Through the Guru's Teachings, the heart is illuminated, and in the end, only the Naam shall be your companion
 
 
bin naavai ko-ay na mannee-ai manmukh pat gavaa-ee.
Without the Naam, no one is accepted(means, witout Nam one can not approach Wahiguru Akal Purukh, such is His will)
jam pur baaDhay maaree-ah birthaa janam gavaa-ee.
and In the City of Death, they are tied down and beaten, and they lose their lives in vain.

SSA Sahib Jee,
Regarding your question which is the beautiful topic of this present thread, only that much can be said that there is some confusion amongst many  of our sikh brothers and sisters, for they literally take Nam as name. 
The names that come under the format of writing, reading or spoken, such as Waheguru, Satnam, Parbrahm Parmeshwar, Parmatma in our case as sikhs; refer to that Supreme and changeless eternal Truth, which is also a Supraconcious Energy ,  Creative Power, which is in constant reverberation, and is subtle and formless.
This constant reverberation,produces in a way to say, infinite waves, containing full energy in terms of sounds and lights.  This is known as Anhad Naad, Shabad, Amrit Bani. But again, these words are descriptive qualities of that Primal and Conscious creative power or energy.
To this creative Power which is nameless or wordless, there is a mention to it, in Aartee or Anand Sahib, as well as in other angs of SGGS.
Thus this concept of Conscious Energy of Waheguru is acceptable and logical.
Had Nam or Shabad been somehing limited to reading, writing, or spoken, as we all know, it could have never ever created any creations.
Just let us think a little bit, when He  was all alone by Himself since Aad Jugaad, there was nothing such as a paper or pencil to write Him down, neither was anybody to call Him.... Then too, in which language and with which mouth?
All the verbal and written names, are just a handful of His infnite descriptive attributes, shared with us limited beings, by our beloved Guru Sahiban and Bhagat Jan.
He is ajoonee, akal, saibhang... He is Shabad, Anhad Naad.
Just as musical notes, represent particular sounds, in a similar way, His written or spoken  names, are means through a specific jugtee of Nam simran, to cleanse us, and awaken our  faculties of seeing the Jot  and the divine melodies of the Shabad Guru or call it  Anhad Nad.
Bhul chuk maaf.
Stay blessed.

not only radhaswamis,udasis,osho,yogis but now many cults are in this belief that naam in shri guru granth sahib is the soundless sound or the anahad naad .onkar is said to be the name of this sound..what are your thoughts guys?

Reason is powerless  in the expression of love
 
If you are irritated by every rub, how will you be polished ?
 
Remember God so much that you are forgotten
let the caller and called dissapear
be lost in the call (bhakti).
 
They are chosen ones
who have surrendered.
*Note : this means, only the wadhbagee surrender themselves to Him, by living in His bhaana.

Veer ji this is 100% correct the post as i am feeling after hearing about Baba Prem Singh Jis sudden passing today

A banger too

You are so proud of your intelligence," said the master.
"You are like a like a condemned man,
proud of the vastness of his prison cell.
A.M
 
 
A thought is a screen, not a mirror;
that is why you live in a thought envelope, untouched by Reality.
A.M
 
 
Don’t try to make them happy, you’ll only get in trouble.
Don’t try to teach a pig to sing;
it wastes your time and it irritates the pig.
A.M
 
 
As one man said, "I got a pretty good education.
It took me years to get over it."
That's what spirituality is all about, you know: unlearning.
Unlearning all the rubbish they taught you.
A.M
 
 
To fight evil with activity
is like fighting darkness with one's hands.
So what you need is light,
not fit.
A.M
 
 
The important religious distinction
is not between those who worship and those who do not worship
but between those who love
and those who don’t
A.M

Sukh dukh, amiree gareebee, janam maran, all of these transitory phases have to do with past karam only.
If you want to progress in your career, then study more, put more efforts , pay more attention in your studies....all this, will put you in favorable conditions to have success , yet the last word will be always of your karam. Anyway, whatever you do, nothing is lost, it is just a matter of time.
All the world is in pain, he may be even rich,  but it is only he who has His Name at all times, is happy here and hereafter, for he is really wealthy(spiritual wise).
Having His Name, makes the difference, for either you have it and have everything, or you have nothing, even while having everything ...
Stay blessed.

Question 8: Sachay Patshah, I have an doubt in my mind so I am confused, please clear it,  I see so many people performing so many types of devotions, each one with fasting, pilgrimages, recitations, pujas, bathing in so called holy waters, etc, so then, among all these devotions/practices, which one is accepted in the Lord´s court/darbar, or should I do all of them when such ocassions arises?
Guru Jee: listen carefully my  dear sikh, 
ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕਉ ਸਿਮਰਹਿ ਸੇ ਜਨ ਪਰਵਾਨ ॥
Prabh Ko Simarehi Sae Jan Paravaan ||
प्रभ कउ सिमरहि से जन परवान ॥
Only those who do simran/meditate on the Lord, they are approved in His Court.
 
Question 9:  Sachay Patshah, though you stress so much upon Nam throughout the Bani, why is it so that hardly anybody pays attention to it?
Guru Jee : That is because His name is the most precious gem, the jeevas are not to be blamed much about it, for it is not in their hands to do His Simran, because,  it is only by His hukum/grace/mercy, that, those chosen ones, meditate on Him, the rest are occupied in  doing so many other things  which are not my teachings, thus forgetting  or being blind to the Truth of Nam . 
ਸਿਮਰਨ ਤੇ ਲਾਗੇ ਜਿਨ ਆਪਿ ਦਇਆਲਾ ॥
Simaran Thae Laagae Jin Aap Dhaeiaalaa ||
सिमरन ते लागे जिन आपि दइआला ॥
They alone hold to the remembrance of Him, unto whom He Himself shows His Mercy.

Found some  beautiful Sat Bachans from the Bani, where Guru Jee enlightens us with the essence of  Truth of Shabad or Nam.
 
Naanak, Sabadh Apaar, Thin Sabh Kishh Saariaa 
O Nanak,  the Shabad is infinite; it has arranged everything perfectly.
Raag Gauri Guru Arjan Dev
* In this verse, we can see Guru Jee is saying that the Shabad is Infinite.  And we all agree who or what is Infinte. If asked, some will say Waheguru. Some will say Akal Purukh, some will say Satnam... Though all are right, for it refers to the same highest eternal and changeless Truth.  Yet Guru jee,  here is telling us,  that Shabad is apaar, so naturally we can say, Shabad is also Waheguru, or Waheguru is Shabad in reality.
For many it is difficult to imagine or believe that Waheguru is formless, is omnipresent, is subtle .... there is an logical explanation to answer it. And the only answer is, that Waheguru/Akal Purukh/Satnam, is not something with any particular form or size, for it is an infinite Consciouss energy, with attributes well known as it is Chitful, means Omniscient; it is Param Anand, means an undesciptable ectasy, joy, happiness beyond measure, it is our origin, Parmatma. Of course this all is unimaginable for anyone of us limited human beings.
This Shabad, the creator of everything, can be heard not with our physical ears, but the attention of our souls when gathered at our third eye through gurmantar, or nam japna; this Shabad can also be seen, with the seeing capacity and capability of our soul, known as Nirat.
With correct nam japna tecnique, both of these our faculties of seeing and hearing, get purified and awakened, thus we have darshan of our beloved Waheguru and listen to His melodious voice in the form of Shabad Dhun.
Guru Jee, in this verse reveals us something very deep and beautiful, He says that Shabad has arranged everything  perfectly; which here it means, the Shabad has created everything. So naturally, it is understandable and acceptable, that Shabad, or Anhad Nad, is same as what we at our human level know as Waheguru Akal Purukh or Nam/Satnam.
The Sun is one thing which has light and heat, yet it makes it no difference, if there is someone calling it with different words or even, does not call it at all. It will continue giving light and heat.
In a similar way, it makes no difference to that Supreme Truth or Highest Level of Consciousness, whether we call it Waheguru, Satnam or Akal Purukh; for it is what it is all the time, that what is as an Infinite state of Consciouss energy, which is in constant reverberation without any striking of  any dependant objects or devices.
Even when there is no one to call Him , when Mahaparlay take place, He alone by Himself continues existing, in His Shabad dhun state(Conciouss energy)
For example, a spoon falls on the floor, it makes sound...  usually there are 2 or more objects which strike or clash, thus sound is produced ...  but that One Supreme Truth  of Shabad is such a wonderful reality, that inspite being One without any second, yet it produces Akhoot Jot and  Divine Melody thoughout the eternity of all yugas
Countless devis, devtays, shaktis, Kanas, Brahmas, Vishnus, incarnations, prophets come and go,  in countless creations, tme after time, but that Anhad Shabad, is the same all the time.
We can continue singing His glory, yet still, it is nothing of His beant wadeeayee.
Stay blessed.

SSA Brother Gill,
first of all, you are not wrong at all from all what you have said, o.k?
So relax. Do not get tense, you see how brothers here support you....
I am not going to judge him for what he said, neither support him, for one has to be there to in which tone he said those things... Anyhow, there is a chance to see what he said in a positive way.
For example, look at him as an elder brother, wanting to get the best by a bit scolding.... sometimes we need to get a push to move in the right direction, for maybe he meant, that Gurbani is so much valuable and rich, that it is a pity, while being sikhs, yet we fail to make the most of it for ourselves spiritually ....
You see, it a good sign you get so much "rus" by listening to the Bani, of course it is by  His blessings, for  having even those sentiments.
But brother believe me also, the maximum benefit from the Bani, is by following implicitly what is said in the Bani, which is to engage oneself in His Bhakti  with utter love and devotion.
Sometimes, one is dry, it mattters not, the thing is "doing it";  automatically one will get that pyar and sharda, let us not try to analyse ourselves so much, we have to totally submit ourselves as we are, at His Lotus Feet.
For only by doing so, we can get mukti from the mayavee creation, and merge in Him, our origin.
This is all what Gurbani is about, which our beloved Guru Sahiban and Bhagat Jan, have shared His wadeeayee with us  ignorant jeevas.
Stay blessed.
SSA.
