Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The one who has You as Master, O God, is blessed with great destiny.

He is happy, forever at peace; his doubts and fears are all dispelled.

To belong to the One is itself the great fortune from which peace and fearlessness grow.
The deeper layer

To have the One as Master is itself "great destiny": from it flow happiness, lasting peace, and the clearing of "doubts and fears." Belonging to the One is the root from which all the rest grows.

A Question to Sit With

What changes when you know whose you are?
