We hear this term attributed to mahaan Gurmukhs every now and then. "Kamaaee waaley". What exactly does this mean? Does it refer to doing hours and hours of Bani each day, or does it refer to those who have done a lot of Naam Simran/Naam Abhiyaas for several hours a day? Does it refer to those who have KEPT strict Rehit or who have LIVED Rehit? Is it those GurSikhs who applied Gurbani to every aspect of their lives or those whose lives reflected Gurbani itself?

Naam is Dhan, the real Dhan. One who has dhan is called kamaayee wala. So the word kamaayee wala to me means one who has earned the dhan of Naam. Keeping rehit and keeping sanjam is for the sake of Naam. The end result is accruing Naam. One’s who have done Naam Abhyaas Kamaayee in this janam are called Kamaayee walay.

One who do above said all is cald kamaeee vaala

Today I was listening to Gyani Pinderpal Singh Ji's katha from Sukh Sagar Radio Southall UK. He said that kamaaee cannot be done by oneself, it comes from SatGuru Ji's meher, His kirpa, His bakshish. We are mere beggars who can only beg. It is upto Him if He gives anything to us or not. I think that is the wondrous nature of kamaaee as well as kamaaee waaley. They are the blessed ones who have received this daat from SatGuru Ji.
