Ram Nam

Ram Naam (ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ) — noun

In Gurmat, Ram is understood as the antar atma (inner soul or divine voice within).

To act according to this inner guidance, regardless of worldly loss or profit, is to live by Ram.

The wisdom of Ram is called Ram Naam.

One who receives this wisdom, experiences rass (spiritual relish) in remembrance.

The faculty of intellect (akal) is the tasting power of this Ram Naam, and therefore Gurbani refers to it as rasna (the relishing tongue of remembrance).

ਸਰਬ ਸੂਖ ਕੋ ਨਾਇਕੋ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਰਸੁ ਪੀਉ ॥੩॥

ਕਬੀਰ ਮੇਰੀ ਸਿਮਰਨੀ ਰਸਨਾ ਊਪਰਿ ਰਾਮੁ ॥
