Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My Master reached out and saved me — completely, all the way — and just keeping the One in mind brings me comfort.
This verse is full of thanks: the One Himself did the saving, all the way, and remembering Him brings comfort now.
Sabh chhadaa-ee khasam aap — my Khasam, my Master, Himself set me completely free. Two things stand out. First, "Himself" and "completely." The saving is all the One's doing, and it is whole, not half-done. The soul did not save itself, and it was not saved only part of the way.
Second, har jap bha-ee tharooray — remembering the One brings comfort. Remembering is not only a step toward some reward later. It is a comfort right now. Think of hearing a parent's voice on the phone when you are away from home. Just the sound of it helps, right then. The warmth is there for any heart that turns toward the One.
Can keeping something good in mind be a comfort in itself, even before it changes anything?
