Anjuli is a short composition revealed by Guru Arjan Sahib in Maru, a rag that is quiet and introspective in nature. Amongst other things, it highlights the daily struggles of an individual torn apart by conflicting priorities and a distorted moral compass.

While undergoing such a state, dilemmas and distractions take over the person’s clear judgment. The short-sighted individual loses the ability to discriminate between the important and unimportant.

This is nearly every individual’s story that we all can relate to. The bani addresses these questions, bringing clarity to what should be the point of reference in a person’s life to navigate in this world.

Anjuli addresses questions related to the origin and purpose of life. With the typical life cycle of an ordinary individual as an example, it apprises us of imminent distractions. The bani also teaches how to win at the game of life besides giving a perspective on relationships and steering through them.
