AÑJULĪĀ (Ṅ), by Gurū Arjan, is a short composition comprising two hymns entered in the Gurū Granth Sāhib under Mārū musical measure (GG, 1019). This word añjulīā (ṅ) is the plural form of Sanskrit añjulī which means the joining together of palms in supplication, reverence or salutation. The word añjulīāṅ in its plural sense has been used in the title perhaps because the composition comprises two hymns. It contains prayer to God seeking from Him the gift of nām, i. e. meditation on His Name or constant remembrance or repetition of His Name. Everything in this world happens by His Will and those who are favoured by Him practise nām in holy company (saṅgat). The tragedy of man is that he seeks happiness in material life sans any spiritual reference. That is why he is ever in misery : when he has material possessions in plenty, he fears he might not lose them, and when he lacks these, he pines for them. In fact, this misery is owed neither to the excess of nor to the meagreness of material possessions, but to man's egoistic pursuits that guide his life in the world. Human life in this phenomenal world is transitory.
