Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A calm, steady heart does beautiful things without needing to show off.
Through loving devotion it finds the open gate of freedom, and as self-importance melts, it merges into the One.
Steady self-control does beautiful things quietly, without showing off.
Self-mastery plus good action open the gate of freedom. The dissolving of self-conceit is the very condition of union.
