ਸਗਲੀ ਜਾਨਿ ਕਰਹੁ ਮਉਦੀਫਾ ॥
saglee jaan karahu ma-udeefaa.
Let your daily worship be the knowledge that God is everywhere.
ਬਦ ਅਮਲ ਛੋਡਿ ਕਰਹੁ ਹਥਿ ਕੂਜਾ ॥
bad amal chhod karahu hath koojaa.
Let renunciation of evil actions be the water-jug you carry.
ਖੁਦਾਇ ਏਕੁ ਬੁਝਿ ਦੇਵਹੁ ਬਾਂਗਾਂ ਬੁਰਗੂ ਬਰਖੁਰਦਾਰ ਖਰਾ ॥੧੦॥
khudaa-ay ayk bujh dayvhu baaNgaaN burgoo barkhurdaar kharaa. ||10||
Let realization of the One Lord God be your call to prayer; be a good child of God - let this be your trumpet. ||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Let your daily practice be simply knowing the One is everywhere.
Let leaving harm behind be the water-jug you always carry.
Let seeing the One in all things be your call to prayer, and being a good-hearted child of the One be the song you sound out.
If the One is everywhere, then noticing that is itself the prayer.
The wazifa (daily devotion), the water-jug of the wanderer, the bang (call to prayer), and the burgoo (horn) are all turned inward. Worship becomes awareness of the One everywhere, and goodness of heart.
A Question to Sit With
