In the Khālsā initiation, amrit sanchār, five initiated Sikhs stir sugared water with a double-edged sword while reciting scripture; initiates drink it and pledge themselves. In the hymns of the Gurus, amrit also names the inward nectar of the Name, the sweetness that flows when the mind is absorbed in God.
