Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
By the One's own glad will we are moved to flow with the way things are, and in that we find peace.
By that same will we meet the True Guru and rest in Truth.
There is no gift as great as the One's sweet will; those whose hearts are ready live it. Nanak says: I have entered the shelter of the One who made the world.
The greatest gift is learning to love the One's sweet will.
The twenty-first Pauree (||21||). Bhaanaa, the One's sweet will, is itself the greatest gift; accepting it gladly is where peace, the Guru, and Truth are all found. Nanak 'enters His Sanctuary', trust as homecoming.
