Acharya Prashant explains the meaning of the 'secret name' mentioned by saints like Kabir Saheb and Tulsidas Ji. He begins by analyzing Kabir Saheb's couplet, "There are millions of names in the world, but they don't lead to liberation. The primordial name is hidden, and only a rare one understands it." He clarifies that the millions of names in the world, which refer to everything that can be an object of the mind—thoughts, emotions, people, places, and concepts—cannot grant liberation. Therefore, the special name being discussed is not a worldly one. The speaker elaborates on the concept of the 'Aadi Naam' or the primordial name. This is the root name, the name behind all names, which existed even before the mind and its objects. Because it is formless, timeless, and beyond imagination, it cannot be given a specific word. This is why saints simply refer to it as 'Naam' (the Name). It is called 'gupt' (hidden) because it is not manifest like the objects we perceive. The instruction to remember the Name is actually a lesson to be wary of all other worldly names and to forget them. It is a call to remain vigilant against what the mind naturally clings to. The act of remembering the Name is an act against Maya (illusion), not a direct contemplation of Truth, as Truth itself has no name. Attempting to give Truth a name or form is a trick of the ego. The ego, which asserts its own presence ('I am'), is afraid of absence and thus tries to turn even the formless into a perceivable object, for instance, by imagining it as invisible waves. The instruction to remember the Name is a subtle way of pointing towards the negation of all worldly attachments (which are all names). It is not about remembering something, but about forgetting everything else. The core message is to stay away from the names of the world, as they are of no use for liberation.
