Japji Sahib · Pauri 11

ਸੁਣਿਐ ਸਤੁ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਗਿਆਨੁ ॥ਸੁਣਿਐ ਅਠਸਠਿ ਕਾ ਇਸਨਾਨੁ ॥ਸੁਣਿਐ ਪੜਿ ਪੜਿ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਮਾਨੁ ॥ਸੁਣਿਐ ਲਾਗੈ ਸਹਜਿ ਧਿਆਨੁ ॥ਨਾਨਕ ਭਗਤਾ ਸਦਾ ਵਿਗਾਸੁ ॥ਸੁਣਿਐ ਦੂਖ ਪਾਪ ਕਾ ਨਾਸੁ ॥੧੦॥

Suni-ai sat santokh gi-aan. Suni-ai ath-sath kaa isnaan. Suni-ai parh parh paavahi maan. Suni-ai laagai sahj dhi-aan. Nanak bhagtaa sadaa vigaas. Suni-ai dookh paap kaa naas.

By listening — Truth, contentment, knowledge. By listening — the cleansing of all 68 sacred pilgrimage sites at once. By listening — the honor of scholars who read and read. By listening — sahaj dhyan, effortless meditation, takes hold. Nanak says — devotees are forever in bliss. By listening, pain and sin are destroyed.
