Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One has made countless rooms of every kind, and is Himself the keeper watching over them all.
Whatever room the One keeps you in, that is where you live for now — so there is no need for the small self to fret and strain.
Anik kothree bahut bhaat karee-aa — countless 'chambers' (bodies, lives, circumstances) fashioned, with the One as rakhvaaraa, the protector. Jaisay mahal raakhai taisai rahnaa — you dwell as the One places you. The closing ki-aa ih karai bichaaraa — 'what can this poor being do?' — is not despair but release from anxious control: since a loving keeper is watching over every room, the small self can stop straining to manage everything. It flows straight from the opening question — with the Protector near, fear and fretting both lose their footing.
What is one thing you worry about controlling that might be okay to trust and let rest?
