A Hundred Thousand Thoughts

Guru Nanak · Japji Sahib

सोचै सोचि न होवई जे सोची लख वार ॥ चुपै चुप न होवई जे लाइ रहा लिव तार ॥

Meaning · English

Thinking it over a hundred thousand times will not make you pure. Keeping your mouth shut, however long, will not make you quiet inside.

अर्थ · हिन्दी

लाख बार सोचने से भी मन पवित्र नहीं होता। लगातार चुप बैठे रहने से भी भीतर की चुप्पी नहीं आती।
