    The essence of this composition is revealed in the stanza of rahau (Pause). In it, worldly accounting (entanglements) is described as useless. In the rest of the stanzas, the being is inspired to engage in true devotion to IkOankar instead of getting caught up in meaningless wordplay. Only by singing the praises of IkOankar can one be freed from worldly entanglements and gain honor in the court of IkOankar.

    Explore Thiti (Mahala 5) [Part 1] | The Guru Granth Sahib Project

    This composition, aligned with the fifteen lunar days, follows Sukhmani Sahib in the Guru Granth Sahib. Though brief, it shares Sukhmani Sahib's simplicity and depth of message, making it a customary recitation after Sukhmani Sahib. The term ‘thiti’ is a variant of ‘tithi,’ a Sanskrit word that appears in the Guru Granth Sahib as ‘thiti,’ ‘thīti,’ or ‘thitī.’ Poetry inspired by the lunar calendar is referred to as ‘thiti.’ This poetic form reflects the lunar phases, created by the moon's waxing and waning.

    Patti is a poetic form rooted in the Gurmukhi alphabet. Traditionally, students in Punjabi culture used a wooden tablet, called a patti, to practice writing letters. The Guru Granth Sahib contains several compositions structured around the alphabet, including the Patti revealed by Guru Nanak Sahib. This particular Patti consists of thirty-five two-line stanzas, along with a stanza of rahau, or Pause.
