Kalyaan, Fourth Mehl:
ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਜਪੁ ਜਪਿ ਜਗੰਨਾਥੇ ॥
mayray man jap jap jagaNnaathay.
O my mind, chant and meditate on the Master of the Universe.
ਗੁਰ ਉਪਦੇਸਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਓ ਸਭਿ ਕਿਲਬਿਖ ਦੁਖ ਲਾਥੇ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
gur updays har naam Dhi-aa-i-o sabh kilbikh dukh laathay. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Through the Guru's Teachings, meditate on the Lord's Name, and be rid of all the painful past sins. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O my mind, chant and meditate on the Master of the whole world.
Through the Guru's teaching, meditate on the Naam of the One, and all the painful wrongs of the past fall away.
Turning your mind toward the One can quietly set down old weights.
Remembering the One, the Lord of the whole world, lifts the weight of old mistakes.
This is the rahaa-o, the "pause" line, the center of the shabad. Jap jap jagaNnaathay: remember, again and again, the Lord of the world. Kilbikh dukh laathay: the pain of old mistakes slips off. Gur updays: the Guru's teaching is the doorway. Think of putting down a heavy backpack at the end of a long walk.
A Question to Sit With
What heavy feeling would you like to gently set down?
