HI! And welcome!

Yes, isn't everything our perception! Don't get me started on our woefully limited senses
that so many base their intellectual opinions on, thinking they are fact made in stone.

That would be before vocal cords, before tongues to be able to pronounce a word, before different languages..Before pens and paper.

Can you pronounce the sound of a wave crashing on the beach?
Same with the Holy Name or Sat Naam.
You can certainly TRY to imitate it....take a wave ..."Aahhhhhh -whooooooosh".... Maybe ''Whooooosh- aaahhhhhh".
Do this like a whisper...it's darn close!!!

And that is exactly what the ancients tried to do hearing God's Name...."Yaaaahhhh - whaaaaay."
(Do that in a breathy , whispering way.)
The Hindus still do, ''Soooooo-haaaammmmmm" or
Aaaaa-uuuuu--mmmmm....and so on.
But, It was before even our breath.

I say, sit; ask God to reveal His Holy Name to you that Jesus said should be 'hallowed'...that is everywhere.
Hmm...Word or Naam...Kirpal Singh's book would help this along...read it cover to cover!! Ha!

An excellent post.
I have heard it said that
"The name of the game is the game of the name".
