The high spiritual state of believing and following (Naam or the divine teaching of the Guru) cannot be fully described. – Guru Nanak Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, Page 3
Message:In this verse from stanza 12, Guru Nanak points out that the state of mind which is attuned to divine wisdom cannot be described completely. Any attempt will only lead to disappointment as such a feat is too difficult and too huge for anyone.
The stanza further says that there is neither the pen nor the scribe which could describe this spiritual state, nor is there sufficient paper to capture it (even if it were possible). Hence, the best the wise can do is to sit together and strive to contemplate and comprehend it.
The suggestion here is that this state, obtained through the practice of Gurbani�s wisdom, awakens a deeper state of consciousness and awareness where ordinary tools of communication, such as language or speech, fall short. �
The most beautiful things in the world can�t be seen, nor touched, but are felt in the heart. � Helen Keller, author and activist, the first deaf, blind and mute person to earn a Bachelor of Arts, 1880 � 1968
Etymology: From Sanskrit maanayati (esteems, honours) ? Pali maaneti ? Prakrit maa?ei/maa?ai (honours) ? Kashmiri maanun (to respect, agree to).
