Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Around the clock he sings the One's praises, lost in loving devotion.
Good fortune and bad leave him untouched, and he recognizes the Creator in it all.
The verse portrays the freed person's equanimity. Continuous praise "absorbed in loving devotional worship" produces a steadiness that stays level through "both fortune and misfortune." This is not numbness — he still lives, still feels — but he is "unaffected" in the sense of un-toppled, because he "recognizes the Creator" in every turn of luck. When you see the same hand in the high days and the low, neither can throw you off your feet. Praise is what trains that seeing.
What helps you stay steady when good news and bad news arrive in the same week?
