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॥
Translation in English :
Satguru Nanak Dev Ji in the next four Pauries (28th to 31st) takes into consideration the path of Yoga, which in those days was prevalent in India to very large extent. He fits in the Yoga structure His own views. These lead the searcher after Truth to at-one-ment with the Divine within through the path of Prema-Bhagti, selfless devotion to God and His creation.
Contentment (resigning to His will under all circumstances) are our earrings. (The Yogis bored their ears and wore large glass earrings). Meekness and humility are our begging bowl (Khapar), and the Jholi – a cloth bag thrown on the shoulder for surplus provisions.
Meditating on the Divine name and fixing the mind on the Divine within and without, are ashes, which yogis rub on their bodies. Ever keeping in mind the day of death is our Khintha (a loose garment made of all kinds of rags and pieces of cloth). Ever keeping the body pure and above all desires is our path of at-one-ment.
Absolute faith in God and the Satguru is our Danda (a staff which yogis keep in their hands). Realizing all men and women as our brothers and sisters in spirit, is our attainment to the highest stage to which the yogis aspire, and name it Ai-Panthi. (Yogis hail each other with the salutation of Ai-Panthi). A bhagat salutes all persons as brothers and sisters in spirit.
Conquering the mind and keeping it above all worldly desires, is the real conquest of the whole world. Yogis through their yogic practices tried to acquire occult powers and through them make men and women their followers. This, however, is only a temporary and ephemeral phase of subjugation. One who has conquered his mind, and has controlled himself is a real and permanent conqueror of this world. All persons vie with each other to follow him and obey his commands.
O Sidhs, we bow down in complete devotion and reverence to Him who is ever existent, the source of all creation, has no colour and form, and is indestructible. He is beyond all changes through all the Yugas (The cycle of the world‟s creation).
