Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

There is only One. And the One is found by the True Guru's grace — a gift that is always here, waiting for an open heart.

The True One alone is the one who makes everything right and beautiful. Think of no other work.

The True One lives deep inside the heart of anyone who turns toward the Guru, and that person settles into the True One quietly, with ease.

The One who makes everything right is already settling inside you.
The deeper layer

savaaranhaaraa is the One who arranges and embellishes — sets things right. Gurmukh means one whose face is turned toward the teaching. Sehjay means naturally, with intuitive ease. The claim is quiet but large: alignment with the True is not forced or manufactured; when the ground is ready, the True settles in on its own.

A Question to Sit With

What feels most right and beautiful to you when you slow down and notice?
