     ਰਾਮੁ ਰਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਫਿਰੈ ਰਾਮੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਾਇ ॥
    Ram Ram karta sabh jag phiray Ram na paiya jaey
    Guru Amar Das ji says, the world says "Ram Ram" however Ram is not obtained like this. He goes to say that Ram is unreachable, unfathomable and so great, he cannot be measured.
    He then says to obtain Him one needs to listen to their guru and through the guru's teachings, Ram illuminates in the student's mind.
    Finally he says that only Ram Himself comes to meet you, only He decides whether you meet Him or not.

    On one hand Guru Sahib says to do naam simran. On the other hand, Guru Sahib says to also consult with someone who has also advanced greatly. Only in the company of the advanced souls, Sadhu Sangat, can one obtain Ram. And then lastly, only through Ram's own wish, will He make Himself known to you.

    I don't know why you say that. In Guru Granth Sahib no such distinction is made.
    Bhagat Namdev ji says quite clearly, have a look -
    ਜਸਰਥ ਰਾਇ ਨੰਦੁ ਰਾਜਾ ਮੇਰਾ ਰਾਮ ਚੰਦੁ ਪ੍ਰਣਵੈ ਨਾਮਾ ਤਤੁ ਰਸੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਪੀਜੈ ॥੪॥੪॥
    jasrath rai nand raja mera ram chand pranvai tat ras meejay. 8.8. (transliteration)
    Dasrath King's son, Raja mine Ram Chandra, humbly Nama reality essence Amrit drinks (word for word meaning)
    Namdev ji says, the The son of King Dasrath, King Ram Chandra is my Lord, I humbly drink the essence of meditation on Ram.

    The entire shabad on this page 973 is about meditation on Ram. Who is Ram? He clearly answers in this verse.

    Why are you specifically focusing on the word and trying to prove some bizarre point. why not talk about raheem and Quran?  All if this makes me think you want to glorify Hinduism. The words ram and raheem were used to address the masses as those were two dominant terms for "almighty" in the region. There is a reason gurusahib gave us the beautiful gurbani. Yes, read, rationalise and conceptualise  other scriptures and holy books, for it helps us connecting with gurbani with new found faith and belief. Religion has it's hierarchy. Even if you believe that Sikhism is an offshoot of Hinduism, that simply means that you accept that Sikhism is a new and better edition of Hinduism. No hatred against any religion for all lead to one,some take the direct path while others the bypassed path.
