Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

At the True Guru's door, truth and a steady, calm strength are waiting.

There the loud voice of ego and the heat of anger grow quiet, and a lasting peace, humble and content, takes their place.

Truth and calm strength are waiting at the Guru's door.
The deeper layer

Truth and self-discipline are gifts of the Guru's door. The Word stills ego and anger, and contentment, santokh, follows.

A Question to Sit With

What helps the heat of your anger settle down?
