ਜੋਗੀ ਜੰਗਮ ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਸਭ ਤੁਮਰੀ ਜੋ ਦੇਹੁ ਮਤੀ ਤਿਤੁ ਚੇਲ ॥
jogee jangam sarisat sabh tumree jo dayh matee tit chayl.
The Yogis, the wandering Jangams, and all the world is Yours, O Lord. According to the wisdom which You give them, so do they follow their ways.
ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ਹਰਿ ਲਾਵਹੁ ਮਨੂਆ ਪੇਲ ॥੪॥੯॥੬੧॥
jan naanak kay parabh antarjaamee har laavhu manoo-aa payl. ||4||9||61||
O Lord God of servant Nanak, O Inner-knower, Searcher of hearts, please link my mind to You. ||4||9||61||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Yogis, the wandering monks, the whole world — all are Yours, O One; they follow their ways by the wisdom You give them.
O Inner-Knower, Searcher of hearts, please link the mind of Your servant Nanak to You.
Everyone follows the path the One has given them — so the only prayer needed is: link my mind to You.
The close widens to all the world's seekers — Yogis, Jangams (wandering Shaivite mendicants) — all living "according to the wisdom which You give them." Even their differing paths are the One's allotment. And Nanak ends not with instruction but with a personal prayer to the Inner-Knower (the One who searches hearts): simply, "link my mind to You."
A Question to Sit With
If something could read your heart completely, what one thing would you ask it for?
