One who keeps You in his consciousness - what does he have to fear? And what else does he need to do? ||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever keeps You in mind becomes carefree, needing nothing.
Whoever keeps You in mind is the true king. What would they have to fear? And what else could they possibly need?
Keep the One in mind and you become carefree, fearing nothing and needing nothing.
The triple refrain jis cheet aavahi (one who keeps You in mind) names the fruit of holding the One: vayparvaahaa (carefree, independent), saachaa saahaa (the true king), and beyond fear — needing nothing more. Holding the One is fearless sufficiency.
A Question to Sit With
