The fever of doubt has been totally eliminated; meeting the Guru, I am cooled and soothed, with intuitive ease. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My burning wants are put out by the Guru's Word, O mother.
The fever of doubt is completely gone; meeting the Guru, I am cooled and soothed, with an easy, natural calm.
Doubt can run like a fever — and meeting what is true breaks it, leaving a natural calm.
The Pause gives the central image: doubt as a fever, cooled by the Guru. The "burning desires" are quenched, and the soul is "cooled and soothed, with intuitive ease" (sahaj) — not forced calm but the natural coolness of a fever finally breaking.
