Paudi - 9 - Japji Sahib in English by Sant Teja Singh Ji, AM Harvard, founder Baru Sahib
Description
ਸੁਣਿਐ ਈਸਰੁ ਬਰਮਾ ਇੰਦੁ ॥ ਸੁਣਿਐ ਮੁਖਿ ਸਾਲਾਹਣ ਮੰਦੁ ॥ ਸੁਣਿਐ ਜੋਗ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਤਨਿ ਭੇਦ ॥ ਸੁਣਿਐ ਸਾਸਤ ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਵੇਦ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਭਗਤਾ ਸਦਾ ਵਿਗਾਸੁ ॥ ਸੁਣਿਐ ਦੂਖ ਪਾਪ ਕਾ ਨਾਸੁ ॥੯॥
Translation in English :
By listening to the Divine name and drinking it deep in their minds, Shiv, Brahma, and Indra have attained their high dignities. Even a degraded person, if he begins singing His praises in love, becomes pure, and people begin praising him.
By listening attentively to the Divine name and its praise one learns all Yoga devices (Pranayama and Samadhi) and comes to know the hidden secrets of the body, and the intricacy of the various veins and arteries. One comes to realize the essence of Truth contained in the six shastras, twenty-seven simrities, and the four Vedas.
Note: - The final source of all knowledge is the human mind. The more it is illuminated the higher the truth is realized by it. A man who realizes the Divine within, the fountainhead of all knowledge, develops a direct power of Intuition, and becomes at-one with the Divine Law. Thus he rises above all error, and practices in his daily live the principles of Truth contained in the holy books.
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.
