Japji Sahib · Pauri 29

ਮੁੰਦਾ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਸਰਮੁ ਪਤੁ ਝੋਲੀ ਧਿਆਨ ਕੀ ਕਰਹਿ ਬਿਭੂਤਿ ॥ਖਿੰਥਾ ਕਾਲੁ ਕੁਆਰੀ ਕਾਇਆ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਡੰਡਾ ਪਰਤੀਤਿ ॥ਆਈ ਪੰਥੀ ਸਗਲ ਜਮਾਤੀ ਮਨਿ ਜੀਤੈ ਜਗੁ ਜੀਤੁ ॥ਆਦੇਸੁ ਤਿਸੈ ਆਦੇਸੁ ॥ਆਦਿ ਅਨੀਲੁ ਅਨਾਦਿ ਅਨਾਹਤਿ ਜੁਗੁ ਜੁਗੁ ਏਕੋ ਵੇਸੁ ॥੨੮॥

Mundaa santokh saram pat jholee dhi-aan kee karahi bibhoot. Khinthaa kaal ku-aaree kaa-i-aa jugat dandaa parteet. Aa-ee panthee sagal jamaatee man jeetai jag jeet. Aadays tisai aadays. Aad aneel anaad anaahat jug jug ayko vays.

Let contentment be your ear-rings; modesty your begging-bowl and shoulder-bag; meditation the ash you smear. Let the awareness of death be your patched cloak; a chaste body your discipline; faith your staff. Consider all humanity your own sect — for by conquering the mind, the world is conquered. Salutation, salutation only to that One — primal, pure, without beginning, indestructible, in every age the same Form.
