Verse 2 of 4

The Life of the Whole World

ਰੇ ਮਨ ਹਰਿ ਭਜੁ ਭ੍ਰਮੁ ਤਜਹੁ ਜਗਜੀਵਨ ਰਾਮ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
ray man har bhaj bharam tajahu jagjeevan raam. ||1|| rahaa-o.
O my mind, vibrate, meditate on the Lord, and forsake your doubt. The Lord is the Life of the World. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

O my mind, remember the One and let go of your doubt.

The One is the life of the whole world.

The One is the life inside everything — including you.
The deeper layer

ray man har bhaj bharam tajahu — remember, and drop bharam (doubt). jagjeevan raam — the One as jag-jeevan, "life of the world." The mind is invited, not scolded — remembrance as homecoming.

A Question to Sit With

When your mind is full of doubts, what helps you feel steadier?
