Because one (raata) imbued (sang-i) with love/obedience of (har-i) the Almighty (andin-u = day after day) ever (jaaga = awake) vigilant against vices.

One (raata) imbued (sang-i) with love/obedience of (har-i) the Almighty (vasai) remains (ghar-i = in house) in state of (sahaj) poise. All (bhram-u) delusion and (bhau) fear (nasai) leaves when (raatey) imbued (sang-i) with love/obedience of (har-i) the Almighty. 3.

(Aap-i = self) the Creator IT-self (keeni = renders, sahaaey = help) enables (jan = servant) a seeker, to (lag-i) attach to the (paaey) feet of, i.e. follow, (daasah) the devotees of the Almighty and (paaia) get (sukh) comfort/happiness.

When (aap-u) ego (gaiaa = goes) is dissolved, then one (bhaey) becomes like the Almighty (aapah-i) IT-self; this happens when one (paey) places the self (sarni = in sanctuary) in care and obedience of the Almighty (nidhaan) treasure of (kripa) kindness. 3

(Jab) when one (paaia) finds (jo) what one (chaahat) wishes. (tab) then one (jaaiaa) goes (kahaa ko = where?) nowhere (ko) to (ddhoonddhan) search, i.e. all aspirations are met by obeying the Almighty and one needs to look nowhere else.

One (bhaey) becomes (asthir) steady and (basey = dwells) sits on (sukh) a comfortable (aasan) seat, i.e. remains at peace. One (baasan) lives in (sukh) comfort (prasaad-i0 with grace/guidance of (gur) the guru, says fifth Nanak. 4. 110.

Such a person experiences the Creator within – and (tab) then (kahaa ko) where is the need for him/her to (jaaiaa) go (dhoodhan ko) in search of the Master – i.e. does not have to go anywhere.

S/he (asthir bhae) attains a stable state of mind and (basey) lives (sukh aasan) on a comfortable seat – i.e. attains a state of poise and (baasan) stays in the state of (sukh) comfort.

This comes (gurprasaadi) with the grace/ guidance of the. 4. 110.

Purification of the mind does not come by baths; (sagal = all) everyone can be (pavit) purified by (gaaey = singing) by praising/emulating (gun) the virtues of (gupaal) the Master of the universe. Similarly, effects of (paap = sins) transgressions (mittah-i) are erased by (saran-i = sanctuary) being in the care and guidance of (daiaal)the kind (saadhoo) guru. 1.

(Rahaau) dwell on this and reflect.
