from "Naam or Word" by Kirpal Singh:
(note: the word "Naam" - or Name - refers to the all-pervasive
celestial Sound Current (especially in the Sant Mat tradition).
Everyone does worship but on the sensual plane only, and so gets no
results,
But absorption in the Naam purifies the mind and bears fruit in
abundance,
Those who are devotees of the Naam are truly pure and beloved of the
Lord,
But for Naam all other worship goes in vain, and the people at large
are deluded.
The beloved of the Master (Guru-mukh) knows himself by coming in
contact with
the all-pervading Word (Naam).
The Immaculate Lord Himself becoming the guide contacts the soul
with the Sound Current,
Those who worship with no proper guidance, remain wandering
in the realm of duality,
A devotee of the Master alone knows the Path and bows before His
Will. 40
