Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The false find no rest anywhere, inside or out; one who tears others down finds no freedom.
Even toward the resentful, the One does not hold back its blessings; day by day they grow.
The verse contrasts the restless and the generous One. The one built on falseness "has no place of rest, either inside or outside" — falseness cannot settle anywhere because it is always defending itself; the one who tears others down (the slanderer) stays unfree, locked in their own bitterness. Against this human meanness stands the divine largeness: "even if one is resentful, God does not withhold His blessings; day by day, they increase." The One keeps giving even to those who resent it — a generosity that shames our stinginess and models a better way.
Could you keep being kind to someone even while they resent you? What would that take?
