Paudi - 15 - Japji Sahib in English by Sant Teja Singh Ji, AM Harvard, founder Baru Sahib
Description
ਮੰਨੈ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਮੋਖੁ ਦੁਆਰੁ ॥ ਮੰਨੈ ਪਰਵਾਰੈ ਸਾਧਾਰੁ ॥
ਮੰਨੈ ਤਰੈ ਤਾਰੇ ਗੁਰੁ ਸਿਖ ॥ ਮੰਨੈ ਨਾਨਕ ਭਵਹਿ ਨ ਭਿਖ ॥
ਐਸਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਜੇ ਕੋ ਮੰਨਿ ਜਾਣੈ ਮਨਿ ਕੋਇ ॥੧੫॥
Translation in English :
He who fixes his mind on Satguru’s teachings, gets freedom from birth and rebirth. He is free here and hereafter. Here he is at-one with the Divine, and when he finishes the span of his mortal existence he blends himself in Him.
uch a person acquires freedom for himself, and shows the path of getting free, to al those (His family, his relatives, his friends, the members of his community, his whole nation, and the whole family of mankind) who come in contact with him.
One who fixes one‟s mind on Satguru’s teachings becomes God-conscious, and acquires the power of showing the path of self-realization to others. Such a person makes others his disciples, who by following his instructions rise above all attachment. Thus both the teacher (the Guru) and the taught (the disciple) reach the Realm of self- realization and at-one-ment with the Divine (the Infinite source of all creation).
One who fixes one‟s mind on Satguru’s teachings becomes free from all desires. He never stoops down to beg anything for himself, worldly or spiritual. He rises above death and becomes a truly ideal man.
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.
