Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Remembering the One, you've nothing to dread — even fear itself backs away from you.
Steadiness, patience, and calm grow in good company, and old attachments quietly loosen.
The verse promises freedom from dread: remembering the One, fear runs away from you, and even the stern Judge applauds rather than accuses. What grows instead is a cluster of quiet strengths — dharma (right living), patience, peace, and poise — and, crucially, they grow in the Saadh Sangat, good company. These aren't things you force into yourself; they grow in the right soil, among the right people, the way a plant grows in good ground. Surround yourself with steadiness and you become steady. The fear leaves, and calm grows in its place.
Which people help patience and calm grow in you, just by being around them?
