Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Away with you too, all my worst habits — goodness itself has moved into my house!
The troublemakers inside me burned right off, and a music of bliss started playing in my heart.
The joy continues to sweep house: run away, sins! the Creator has entered my home — and the demons within are burnt. Notice the order: the good doesn't have to fight the bad out; when the Creator moves in, the harmful things simply flee — light entering a room, and the shadows gone. And what fills the swept house is the music of bliss (anhad, the unstruck melody) and celestial peace. For a child: you don't clean out your worst habits by grimly attacking them one by one; you invite in something better, and they leave to make room. Fill the house with light, and the dark packs up.
What good thing could you 'invite in' that would naturally crowd out a bad habit?
