ਜੋਗੀ ਹਰਿ ਦੇਹੁ ਮਤੀ ਉਪਦੇਸੁ ॥
jogee har dayh matee updays.
O Yogi, give your intellect the Teachings of the Lord.
ਜੁਗੁ ਜੁਗੁ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਏਕੋ ਵਰਤੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਆਗੈ ਹਮ ਆਦੇਸੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jug jug har har ayko vartai tis aagai ham aadays. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Lord, the One Lord, is pervading throughout all the ages; I humbly bow down to Him. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Yogi, feed your mind the teaching of the One.
The One alone is present through all the ages; I bow low before that One.
Your mind needs the right food more than the right technique.
The Pause says: feed the intellect the Lord's teaching — the mind needs the right food, not the right technique. And the ground of it is the One "pervading throughout all the ages," unchanging while everything else passes. The Yogi's restless playing is set against a simple bow to that timeless One.
A Question to Sit With
What do you "feed" your mind most days — and is it nourishing you?
