Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever knows You is honored both as one who keeps a home and as one who gives it all up.
Soaked in the Name, such a one lives in that deep peace.
You do not have to choose between an ordinary life and a holy one.
"One who recognizes You is recognized as a householder, and as a renunciate." A householder lives with family and work. A renunciate gives up home to live apart for God. The one who truly knows the One is both at once.
Think of a mom who is a doctor all day and a parent at home. She does not stop being one to be the other. In the same way, a person soaked in the Name lives in Nirvaanaa, deep peace, right in the middle of family life.
Could you live fully in the world and be deeply at peace within at the same time?
