Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Taste the sweet nectar within, and both wanting and fear fade away.
A bright, awake understanding rises, and self-importance dissolves.
The highest, most exalted state is reached by living the spotless Word.
When wanting and fear fade together, something bright wakes up inside.
Amrit ras is the sweet nectar of the Name; tasting it, craving and fear settle together. A clear, awake understanding (anbha-o pad) rises, self-conceit dissolves, and the highest state is reached simply by living the Word.
