The Beauty of Jap Ji Sahib
A Poetic Rendition Part 9
Pauree 28�
Earrings of contentment wear, the fruits of honest labor share,�
The ashes�of meditation�smear,
With awareness of death as your weave, remain chaste and clean�
Make�discernment the staff on which to lean�
The way of equality then practice;�
Master the mind and conquer the world�
Hail to You and salutations more�
Primal, Immaculate, without beginning and end,�
You endure�without change through the ages.
Pauree 29
With knowledge your sustenance maintain,�
From the storehouse of compassion obtain,�
Hear the Divine melody, every heart sings in refrain.�
You are the Master, Your Will alone reigns�
Occult powers serve only to estrange.�
Union and separation is Your play, we receive as is written.�
Primal, Immaculate, without beginning and end,�
You endure without change through the ages.
Pauree 30
Of cosmic union Maya has conceived,�
Three sons (principles) celebrated and by all received,�
Creation, Death and Sustenance their domain�
The world at Your behest they maintain, your bidding is their aim.�
Watching Your Creation, hidden
You remain, wondrous is Your game.�
Primal, Immaculate, without beginning and end,�
You endure without change through the ages.
Pauree 31
Seated in Your�Creation; Your treasures are without depletion,�
Our share placed once and forever.�
You watch over Your Creation.�
Says�Nanak,�true is the handiwork of the True.�
Primal, Immaculate, without beginning and end,�
You endure without change through the ages.
