By Your Glance of Grace, peace is obtained, and the treasure fills the mind.

That servant, unto whom You bestow Your Mercy, is approved and accepted. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By Your Glance of Grace, peace is obtained, and the treasure fills the mind.
That servant on whom You bestow Your mercy is approved and accepted.
Peace and worth alike are given by a glance of grace, not earned.
Peace and the inner treasure come by nadar, the Glance of Grace; and acceptance is by mercy, not merit. The servant is "approved" because the One approves him (cf. Shabad 199).
A Question to Sit With
