Japji Sahib - The 14th Pauri - Mantra for Finding the Path
As I surrender to the path, as I align my will with the will of "the God." Doubt drops away and my faith, in my self and my reality, grows with each day.
ਮੰਨੈ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਠਾਕ ਨ ਪਾਇ ॥
मंनै मारगि ठाक न पाइ ॥
mannai maarag thaak na paa-ay
ਮੰਨੈ ਪਤਿ ਸਿਉ ਪਰਗਟੁ ਜਾਇ ॥
mannai pat si-o pargat jaa-ay
When you agree, Your path becomes clear. When you agree, you go Home shinning with honor.
ਮੰਨੈ ਮਗੁ ਨ ਚਲੈ ਪੰਥੁ ॥
mannai mag na chalai panth
ਮੰਨੈ ਧਰਮ ਸੇਤੀ ਸਨਬੰਧੁ ॥
mannai dharam saytee san-bandh
When you agree, You are not of this world When you agree, You embrace the Dharma.
ਐਸਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਨਿਰੰਜਨੁ ਹੋਇ ॥
aisaa naaam niranjan ho-ay
ਜੇ ਕੋ ਮੰਨਿ ਜਾਣੈ ਮਨਿ ਕੋਇ ॥੧੪॥
jay ko man jaanai man ko-ay
Such is the Nam. It makes you pure. If you agree to agree, Your mind becomes sure.
