Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One dissolves both wrongdoing and pain.

The one who follows the Guru gives their heart and lives close to the Word.

That One fills everything, everywhere, and a heart tuned to it grows full and glad, through and through.

The One can dissolve both the pain and the ache behind it.
The deeper layer

The One is the destroyer of both fault and pain. A heart tuned to it, living close to the Word, grows full and glad all the way through.

A Question to Sit With

When has doing the right thing also made a heavy feeling lighter?
