Japji Sahib Commentary/ Translated by Master Teja Singh
Pauri 7
7 Je jug charey arja hor dassuni hoe. Nawan knandan vich janiai nal chaley sab kog. Changa nao rakhaikey las keerat jag ley. Je tis nadar na aawee ta vat na puchhai key. Keeta undar keet kar dosi dose dharey. Nanak nirgun gun karey gun vantyan gun dey. Teha koe na sujheeje us gun koe karey.
By following the Yog marag (pranayam) one may prolong his life to the extent of the four cycles of this world (Four Yugas-Satyug, Trafta, Duapar, and Kalyuga) and even ten times that period. He may gain a world wide reputation, and everyone may feel honoured by walking in his train. The praise of his virtuous deed may be on every human tongue.
But if he has not attained His grace, then a time will come when no one would care even to recognise him. His misdeeds shall be reckoned with, and he shall be found guiltiest of the guilty, and a worm within worms, the lowliest of the low, in the assembly of the saints and in the life hereafter. But sayeth Nanak, the Divine Master is so bountiful, that he showers his blessings on all. If a guilty person repents, He grants him good qualities, and makes the virtuous more virtuous. There is none else in he world who can uplift such a degraded person or there is no one who can be a bestower of good qualities. He aIone is the source of all good and is dependent on none else.
