Paudi- 13 - Japji Sahib in English by Sant Teja Singh Ji, AM Harvard, founder Baru Sahib
Description
ਮੰਨੈ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਮਨਿ ਬੁਧਿ ॥ ਮੰਨੈ ਸਗਲ ਭਵਣ ਕੀ ਸੁਧਿ ॥
ਮੰਨੈ ਮੁਹਿ ਚੋਟਾ ਨਾ ਖਾਇ ॥ ਮੰਨੈ ਜਮ ਕੈ ਸਾਥਿ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥
ਐਸਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਹੋਇ ॥ ਜੇ ਕੋ ਮੰਨਿ ਜਾਣੈ ਮਨਿ ਕੋਇ ॥੧੩॥
Translation in English :
By fixing the Satguru’s (God-conscious person) teachings in one‟s mind, and meditating on the Divine Gurmantra the mind and intellect acquire the power of distinguishing between right and wrong, and reach the sphere of reason.
By fixing the Satguru’s teaching in one‟s mind, one attains the knowledge of all the Brahmandas (the whole Universe). He acquires occult powers by which he can know all that is going on the various parts of the Universe.
By fixing the Satguru’s teachings in ones mind, one goes on following the right path, and does not face the troubles and worries of attachment to his own self, his relatives, and worldly goods. Such a person gets freedom from the cycle of birth and rebirth and rises above all fear of death.
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.
