Japji Sahib - The 13th Pauri - Mantra for Surrender
When we surrender, we give our heads. When we give our heads, we surrender our egos. We still have an ego; but we no longer identify with it. Our egos are tied to time and space—the past, the present and the future.
ਮੰਨੈ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਮਨਿ ਬੁਧਿ ॥
mannai surat hovai man budh
ਮੰਨੈ ਸਗਲ ਭਵਣ ਕੀ ਸੁਧਿ ॥
mannai sagat bhavan kee sudh
When you agree, You tune in become wise. When you agree, You become aware Of all the universes and worlds.
ਮੰਨੈ ਮੁਹਿ ਚੋਟਾ ਨਾ ਖਾਇ ॥
mannai muhi chotaa naa khaa-ay
ਮੰਨੈ ਜਮ ਕੈ ਸਾਥਿ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥
mannai jam kai saath na jaa-ay
When you agree, You gain dignity and grace. When you agree, Death cannot touch you.
ਐਸਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਹੋਇ ॥
aisaa naam niranjan ho-ay
ਜੇ ਕੋ ਮੰਨਿ ਜਾਣੈ ਮਨਿ ਕੋਇ ॥੧੩॥
jay ko man jaanai man ko-ay
Such is the Nam. It makes you pure. If you agree to agree. Your mind becomes sure.
