Core tenet of Sikhism

Remember the Name.

Naam japna — continual remembrance of God, in the kitchen as much as the temple.

Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held

Naam japna — remembrance of the Name — is the center practice: the divine kept present through repetition, song, and attention until remembrance becomes the background hum of ordinary work. The discipline is portable by design; it needs no temple, only breath.

From the sources — the passages this rests on; concise renderings, cited

Repeat the Name of the One; gather the wealth that does not burn.

From the spirit of Japji Sahib

A summary line of the daily morning prayer.
