Guru Arjun Dev Ji writes:
Sukhmani sukh amrit prabha nam ॥
Bhagat Jana Ke Man Bisram ॥(5-262)
You call the Naam of God ‘Sukh Mani’ and then use two words ‘sukh’ (comfort, happiness) and ‘amrit’ (nectar) to describe the experience arising from the attainment of the Naam. This shows that the Naam is fundamentally the Absolute Being/Brahman. For the purpose of creating the world, this Brahman itself appears and acts in its opposite form i.e. in the form of relative Power/God due to which the seeker experiences it in two forms. These two forms of experience have been called 'happiness' and 'nectar' in this line, through which the two forms of Naam - Power and Essence - are intended to be described. In the realization of the Power of Brahman the emancipation from illusion is the main thing which leads to happiness; There is no illusion in the Being, there is complete Consciousness in which by having this state one attains immortality.
