Japji Sahib - The 12th Pauri - Mantra for Obedience
We can't really become the master of anything until we have learned to obey—purely, fully, and humbly. The act of aligning your own will with God's. This state of consciousness is elusive.
ਮੰਨੇ ਕੀ ਗਤਿ ਕਹੀ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥
mannay kee gat khaee na jaa-ay
ਜੇ ਕੋ ਕਹੈ ਪਿਛੈ ਪਛੁਤਾਇ ॥
jay ko kahai pichhai pachhutaa-ay
If you agree with /god inside, Your state of consciousness cannot be described. Anyone who tries will be sorry he tried.
ਕਾਗਦਿ ਕਲਮ ਨ ਲਿਖਣਹਾਰੁ ॥
kaagad kalam na likhanhaar
ਮੰਨੇ ਕਾ ਬਹਿ ਕਰਨਿ ਵੀਚਾਰੁ ॥
mannay kaa bahi karan veechaar.
No writer can write it. No pen can list it. You have missed it.
ਐਸਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਹੋਇ ॥
aisaa naam niranjan ho-ay
ਜੇ ਕੋ ਮੰਨਿ ਜਾਣੈ ਮਨਿ ਕੋਇ ॥੧੨॥
jay ko man jaanai man ko-ay
Such is the Nam. It makes you pure. If you agree to agree, Your mind becomes sure.
