Japji Sahib – 15th Pauree

15th Pauree

The Fifteenth Pauree brings salvation.

 

 

Excerpted from the book Guru Nanak’s Call of the Soul: Japji Sahib:

In this the final Mannai pauree, Guru Nanak explains what is attained by living in the state of obedience to the Divine Will. He tells us that those who live in that spiritual awakening of devoted obedience not only achieve liberation, but their families and relations are also liberated. When through your own devotion and hard work you are liberated, seven of your generations back and seven generations forward are also liberated. Others who share this path along with you are also enlightened by your efforts, uplifted by your spiritual light.

Siri Singh Sahib talked frequently about the need for the head to bow to the heart. The Judeo-Christian theology also teaches that God is love. All cultures look to the heart as the center of love. Awareness is found in the sixth and seventh chakras, but it is at the fourth chakra, the heart center, that love enters. So when the head bows to the heart, it is acknowledging the power of that Divine Love and when that happens, the True One enters.

Continue chanting of the Name of God. When we are busy continuing to chant the Name of God, we do not have time to think pros and cons. So therefore, as our heart beats every time, we live by the beat of the heart and not by the thoughts of the head. Our head carries the beat of the thought, the compassion (…) Head was given to carry the heart, heart was given to carry the work. The heart beats, not the head. You know? So don’t act against the natural law.

~Siri Singh Sahib, Yogi Bhajan – March 6, 1985

15th Pauree

 

Mannai paaveh mokh du-aar.

Mannai parvaarai saadhaar.

Mannai tarai taaray gur sikh.

Mannai naanak bhaveh na bhikh

Aisaa naam niranjan ho-ei.

Jay ko maan jaannai man ko-ei. ]15]

 

The faithful find the Door of Liberation.

The faithful uplift and redeem their family and relations.

The faithful are saved, and carried across with the Sikhs of the Guru.

The faithful, O Nanak, do not wander around begging.

Such is the Name of the immaculate True One.

Only one who has faith comes to know such a state of mind.
