[Japji 15] If you ponder it
by Guru NanakEnglish version by John Stratton Hawley and Mark Juergensmeyer
Original Language Punjabi
If you ponder it,
there is mindfulness, wisdom of mind;
If you ponder it,
the whole of the universe is known;
If you ponder it,
you will never face harm;
If you ponder it,
you will never walk the way of death.
That name--
so immaculately clear--
only the mind that ponders it
can truly be aware.
 | -- from Songs of the Saints of India, Translated by John Stratton Hawley / Translated by Mark Juergensmeyer |
