ਅਨਿਕ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਬੀਚਾਰਉ ॥
anik jugat kar bahut beechaara-o.
Trying several methods, I reflect deeply upon the Lord.
ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਇਸੁ ਮਨਹਿ ਉਧਾਰਉ ॥੨॥
saaDhsang is maneh uDhaara-o. ||2||
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, this mind is saved. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I have tried this way and that way, thinking hard, turning the big questions over and over in my head.
In the Sangat, this restless mind of mine is carried across and finds its footing.
In the Sangat, the restless mind finds its footing.
Anik jugat kar bahut beechaara-o — many methods, much reflection: effort and cleverness on their own. Saadhsang is maneh udhaara-o — in the Sangat, this mind is carried across.
The Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One — does what clever methods alone cannot. The turn from self-effort to grace in the Sangat is the pauri's whole movement.
A Question to Sit With
Have you ever solved something not by thinking harder, but by being around the right people?
