Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
For the one who lives in deep, intuitive peace, home and forest are the same place.
The meanness drains out of such a person, and the praise of the One fills the space it leaves.
To say the True Name with your own mouth is the real ladder upward; and serving the True Guru, you find your own true place inside yourself.
The opening line is a direct challenge to renunciation: "home and forest are the same" for one in sahaj (intuitive peace). You do not need to flee to the forest to find the One; the householder at home, in poise, is already there. The "ladder" and "finding your own place within" make the destination interior — not a far shrine but your own depths.
Where do you feel most at peace — and could you carry that peace into ordinary places?
