Acharya Prashant explains that Guru Nanak Sahib does not encourage specific rituals but rather a life of sincerity and careful observation. He clarifies that remembering or chanting the name of the Lord is not an affirmative act but an act of negation and rebellion against the millions of worldly names that cloud the mind. These worldly names are hollow and meaningless, yet the mind takes them as proxies for reality because it lacks the faculty to perceive the actual thing. By prioritizing the name of the Lord, one keeps the disproportionate power of these hollow worldly names in check, preventing them from dominating the mind.
