Paudi - 11 - Japji Sahib in English by Sant Teja Singh Ji, AM Harvard, founder Baru Sahib
Description
ਸੁਣਿਐ ਸਰਾ ਗੁਣਾ ਕੇ ਗਾਹ ॥ ਸੁਣਿਐ ਸੇਖ ਪੀਰ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹ ॥
ਸੁਣਿਐ ਅੰਧੇ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਰਾਹੁ ॥ ਸੁਣਿਐ ਹਾਥ ਹੋਵੈ ਅਸਗਾਹੁ ॥
ਨਾਨਕ ਭਗਤਾ ਸਦਾ ਵਿਗਾਸੁ ॥ ਸੁਣਿਐ ਦੂਖ ਪਾਪ ਕਾ ਨਾਸੁ ॥੧੧॥
Translation in English :
By listening to and drinking in deep the Divine name, one realizes the truth contained in the fathomless oceans of knowledge; (the Vedas, the Shastras and the Gurbani); one attains the rank of Sheikh – the head of a clan, Pir – religious leader, or a king.
The ignorant (the blind hunters after pleasures of flesh) find the Path of true realization. The Infinite fathomless Divine is realized. One becomes God-conscious, and feels His presence in the whole created Universe.
Or one can easily cross the unfathomable ocean of the world of woe and pain. (He can acquire the power of keeping his mind in control under all circumstances, success does not inflate him and failure never daunts him. Filled with Divine realization, he lives in peace and good will, with the whole creation).
Sayeth Nanak, His devotees who meditate on His name and drink in deep the nectar of the Divine life within, are filled with ecstasy and their faces beam with Divine joy.
No pain or sin can touch them. They rise above all pain and sin.
