Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Holding tight to the Guru's feet cools and soothes the whole restless self.

Doubt clears out, fear takes off running, and a steady joy stays, singing its quiet thanks.

Holding close to the Guru cools the restless heart and sends fear running.
The deeper layer

Refuge at the Guru's feet cools mind and body; doubt and fear depart, and bliss becomes the settled state.

A Question to Sit With

What is something that cools you down when you feel restless or afraid?
