Paudi - 14 - Japji Sahib in English by Sant Teja Singh Ji, AM Harvard, founder Baru Sahib
Description
ਮੰਨੈ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਠਾਕ ਨ ਪਾਇ ॥ ਮੰਨੈ ਪਤਿ ਸਿਉ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਜਾਇ ॥
ਮੰਨੈ ਮਗੁ ਨ ਚਲੈ ਪੰਥੁ ॥ ਮੰਨੈ ਧਰਮ ਸੇਤੀ ਸਨਬੰਧੁ ॥
ਐਸਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਜੇ ਕੋ ਮੰਨਿ ਜਾਣੈ ਮਨਿ ਕੋਇ ॥ ੧੪॥
Translation in English :
One who fixes one‟s mind on Satguru’s teachings, goes on treading the path of Divine realization without facing any obstacle. He gains very high respect in this world and everyone bows down to his spiritual greatness.
One who fixes one‟s mind on Satguru’s teachings does not tread the narrow lanes and devious paths of priestly castes and creeds. He goes on following the path of self- realization, without any distinction of caste, creed, race or colour.
One who fixes one‟s mind on Satguru’s teachings naturally acquires the power of following the right path without the least wavering. Such a person rises above all attachment, and virtue flows spontaneously out of him (his mind). He is pure and virtuous in thought, word and action.
The glory of the Divine Word (gurmantar – WAHEGURU), which is immaculate and free from all dross of attachment, is so great that only he who meditates on it with full faith and love, and makes it dwell in his mind, can realize it.
