Quote:
ਜਾ ਕੇ ਭਗਤ ਆਨੰਦ ਮੈ॥ ਜਾ ਕੇ ਭਗਤ ਕਉ ਨਾਹੀ ਖੈ॥ 
ਜਾ ਕੇ ਭਗਤ ਕਉ ਨਾਹੀ ਭੈ॥ ਜਾ ਕੇ ਭਗਤ ਕਉ ਸਦਾ ਜੈ 
ਜਿਸ ਦੇ ਭਗਤ (ਸਦਾ) ਅਨੰਦ-ਭਰਪੂਰ ਰਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਜਿਸ ਦੇ ਭਗਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ (ਕਦੇ) ਆਤਮਕ-ਨੁਕਸਾਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੁੰਦਾ, ਜਿਸ ਦੇ ਭਗਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ (ਕੋਈ) ਡਰ ਨਹੀਂ (ਪੋਂਹਦਾ), ਜਿਸ ਦੇ ਭਗਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਦਾ ਵਿਜੈ ਪਰਾਪਤ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ, (ਉਹ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਹਰ ਥਾਂ ਵਿਆਪਕ ਹੋ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ)।

jaa ke bhagat aanand mai. jaa ke bhagat kau naahee khai.
jaa ke bhagat kau naahee bhai. jaa ke bhagat kau sadaa jai.
(The Divine) whose devotees are (always) filled with bliss, whose devotees are never spiritually destroyed, whose devotees are not frightened, whose devotees are always victorious (He pervades and permeates everywhere). -Guru Arjan Sahib, Guru Granth Sahib, 1181

Message: The Ever-present One endeared by his devotees
The universe and the Creator are limitless. There’s nowhere where His presence is missing. Those who are imbued with the love of the Divine overcome fickleness of their mind. They banish vices of the mind as well.

When that happens, anxiety and anguish disappear. They are able to cultivate a balanced lifestyle. This leads them to spiritual victory and bliss as they see good in all things. And their mind sees all possibilities in life.

Etymology: From Sanskrit → Pali → Prakrit jaya (victory).
