Putin joke Putin dies and goes to hell, but after a while, he is given a day off for good behavior.
So he goes to Moscow, enters a bar, orders a drink, and asks the bartender:
-Is Crimea ours?
-Yes, it is.
-And the Donbas?
-Also ours.
-And Kyiv?
-We got that too.
Satisfied, Putin drinks, and asks:
-Thanks, how much do I owe you?
-5 euros.

Not sure who wrote this, but it’s deep
”Every minute someone leaves this world behind.
We are all in “the line” without knowing it. We never know how many people are before us.
We can not move to the back of the line.
We can not step out of the line.
We can not avoid the line.
So while we wait in line -
Make moments count.
Make priorities.
Make the time.
Make your gifts known.
Make a nobody feel like a somebody.
Make your voice heard.
Make the small things big.
Make someone smile.
Make the change.
Make love.
Make up.
Make peace.
Make sure to tell your people they are loved.
Make sure to have no regrets.
Make sure you are ready.”

Dear Guest Shabad Yoga,

Nice thread Jee, 
The question you are asking is utmost precious and beautiful, for it is asking about the description of the Creator Himself.
Though any amount of description through words of that Primal Being Nam/Satnam would be very poor,  but in my humble and limited perspective, I would say that:
Gupt Nam, is that creative Power of all that exists whether seen or unseen at our level, and which is the only changeless Truth since Aad Jugaad in its original form there in Sach Khand. 
And Pargat Nam, is when you manifest that Nam within you, when one can see its refulgence and listen its divine enrapturing melodies .... all that within onself.
Now, how to pargat that Nam within us?
Well, Sree Guru Amar Das Maharaj, reveals us the secret about it when He openly tells us in Anand Sahib: 
 
ਨਾਮੁ ਜਿਨ ਕੈ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਵਾਜੇ ਸਬਦ ਘਨੇਰੇ ॥
Naam Jin Kai Man Vasiaa Vaajae Sabadh Ghanaerae ||
नामु जिन कै मनि वसिआ वाजे सबद घनेरे ॥
The divine melody of the Shabad vibrates for those, within whose minds the Naam abides.
 
*He says, when one succeeds in the concentration of the Nam/e Waheguru by its continous repetition in the mind, then that Nam becomes manifest within us, and we can see the Jot and listen the Shabad Dhun or Anhad Naad / Naam, within us, that too not with our petty efforts, but by His kirpa/Mercy alone.
That is why in other verses of Anand Sahib, Guru Jee tells us:
 
ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਜਿਨ ਨਾਮਿ ਲਾਇਹਿ ਸਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਸਦਾ ਧਿਆਵਹੇ ॥
Kar Kirapaa Jin Naam Laaeihi S Har Har Sadhaa Dhhiaavehae ||
करि किरपा जिन नामि लाइहि सि हरि हरि सदा धिआवहे ॥
In Your Mercy, when You attach them to the Naam; then only they meditate forever on the Lord, Har, Har.
 
Hope, your doubt is cleared to some extent.
SSA.

Komie Jee,
please beware in mind, though as you say that you listen the insect sound even without doing much meditation, then you must admit that it has to do with some kamaee of your previous birth/s.
It is thus indeed a blessing on from Waheguru.
Just pray to Him to shower you with enough kirpa so you practice meditation conscioussly and move to higher heights, but never ever be heartbroken if you see no apparent progress, for even to have faith and love for Waheguru is alraedy a great achievement, just do meditation with the hope of reaching Sach Khand, without any expectations but in a relaxed manner and be grateful at all times. then you will attract more kirpa by staying in His bhaana.
This is the secret in spirituality.
Perform your meditation conscioussly and concentration, the dhun, the anhad shabad, the akhoot jot, the amrit bani ..... are all already there within, we just have to turn our face from the outward worldly doors by closing them, and go within, with the focused jaap of Waheguru, just as a  child repeats 1,2,3,4 or  A,B,C,D.
May God bless you.

To me, they are both equally important. Gurbani seems to lead to naam simran on Gurmantar. And also you can do simran to Gurbani. 

Waheguru ji ka khalsa 
waheguru ji ki fateh
if anyone know more knowledge about gurmat I want to know what gupt naam and pargat naam is what is the difference and how can you attain that avasta

Veer ji, I think, on the subject of parents, we also need to be truthful and realistic. Not all parents are paternalistic or maternalistic nurturers. When I worked as a teacher and had to deal with some troubled teenagers, some of the things some parents have done was shocking and disgusting (like sexual abuse). Some parents can be indifferent, cruel and neglectful to their own weak and vulnerable children, getting off on tormenting them, or psychologically abusing them. So it's not black and white, although I do agree that good parents being abandoned by their ingrate children is tragic. 

Generally speaking, the interpretation above makes sense. A devout Sikh must serve his parents.
Most likely, in Vaaran (of Bhai Gurdas jee), it states that a person who abandons his old parents is like a murderer.
