Japji Sahib - The 25th Pauri - Mantra for Prosperity
Our projection is responsible for creating an energy around us, which operates as a point of attraction. It's the Law of Attraction, but in yogic terms. Yogi Bhajan was very clear about prosperity: it comes from God.
ਬਹੁਤਾ ਕਰਮੁ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾ ਜਾਇ ॥
bahutaa karam likhi-aa naa jaa-ay
ਵਡਾ ਦਾਤਾ ਤਿਲੁ ਨ ਤਮਾਇ ॥
vadaa daataa til na tamaa-ay
There is so much karma, You can't write it all down.
ਕੇਤੇ ਮੰਗਹਿ ਜੋਧ ਅਪਾਰ ॥
kaytay mangahi jodh apaar
ਕੇਤਿਆ ਗਣਤ ਨਹੀ ਵੀਚਾਰੁ ॥
kayti-aa ganat nahee veechaa
But the great Giver has not one bit of greed. Not even as a little as a sesame seed.
ਕੇਤੇ ਖਪਿ ਤੁਟਹਿ ਵੇਕਾਰ ॥
kaytay khap tutahi vaykaar
Many soldier saints are begging. Many people are meditating.
ਕੇਤੇ ਲੈ ਲੈ ਮੁਕਰੁ ਪਾਹਿ ॥
kaytay lai lai mukar paahi
ਕੇਤੇ ਮੂਰਖ ਖਾਹੀ ਖਾਹਿ ॥
kaytay moorakh khaaahee khaahi
There are many unrighteous, broken wretches. Many take and take, and are never thankful. There are many fools. The eaters keep eating.
ਕੇਤਿਆ ਦੂਖ ਭੂਖ ਸਦ ਮਾਰ ॥
kayti-aa dookh bhookh sad maar
ਏਹਿ ਭਿ ਦਾਤਿ ਤੇਰੀ ਦਾਤਾਰ ॥
ayhi bhe daat tayree daataar
Hunger and pain give so many a beating! But these too are Thy gifts. O, Giver of all!
ਬੰਦਿ ਖਲਾਸੀ ਭਾਣੈ ਹੋਇ ॥
band khalaasee bhaanai ho-ay
ਹੋਰੁ ਆਖਿ ਨ ਸਕੈ ਕੋਇ ॥
hor aakh na sakai ko-ay
Liberation and slavery are also Thy gifts. No one else has nay say about this.
ਜੇ ਕੋ ਖਾਇਕੁ ਆਖਣਿ ਪਾਇ ॥
jay ko khaa-ik aakhdam paa-ay
ਓਹੁ ਜਾਣੈ ਜੇਤੀਆ ਮੁਹਿ ਖਾਇ ॥
oh jaanai jaytee-aa muhi khaa-ay
If anyone's foolish enough to speak, He will feel the effects of his folly.
ਆਪੇ ਜਾਣੈ ਆਪੇ ਦੇਇ ॥
aapay jaanai aapay day-ay
ਆਖਹਿ ਸਿ ਭਿ ਕੇਈ ਕੇਇ ॥
aakhahi se bhe kay-ee kay-ay
God gives… God knows… But only a few people speak of these things.
ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਬਖਸੇ ਸਿਫਤਿ ਸਾਲਾਹ ॥
jis no bakhsay sifat saalaah
ਨਾਨਕ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹੀ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹੁ ॥੨੫॥
naanak paatisaahee paatisaahu
The one whom He blesses to praise Him and love Him, O, Nanak is king among kings!
