(ਫਲ ਲਾਗੇ ਫਲਨ)

There is an acid-test to know if your wholehearted prayer performed in the manner cited above is on the way to fruition. This will be evident from the following.
 

2. ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਹਰਿ ਮੀਠਾ ਹਰਿ ਸੰਤਹੁ ਚਾਖਿ ਦਿਖਹੁ ॥ {੮੦੦}
The Guru says the Divine Name is Amrit (nectar). Taste it. If one continues to repeat the Holy Name (ਗੁਰ ਮੰਤਰ) with respiratory frequency without loss of a breath, time will come when one’s tongue will start having the taste of nectar with every utterance of the Name (ਨਾਮੁ). That is a fore-runner of Guru’s full benevolence – This is a top achievement.
 
3. ਜਿਨ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਰਸੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਪਾਇਆ ਤੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਜਮ ਪਾਸਿ ॥ {੧੦}
Those who have not had the taste of nectar (ਹਰਿ ਰਸ, ਨਾਮੁ ਰਸ) are unfortunate, and they will not be spared by the Angel of death.

4. ਦਸਵੈ ਦੁਆਰਿ ਕੁੰਚੀ ਜਬ ਦੀਜੈ ॥ ਤਉ ਦਇਆਲ ਕੋ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਕੀਜੈ ॥੨੪॥ {੩੪੧}
When the Guru bestows his full benevolence on a disciple the latter will find his 10th gate open and he will enjoy communion with God. Till then man’s pursuit must continue.
