Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Now I have found a life that lasts.

The Maker has come into my mind, and I have found shelter with the saints.

Lasting life begins when the Maker settles into your mind.
The deeper layer

Now comes the state of lasting life (jeevan padvee): the Maker enters the mind, and the heart finds shelter with the saints.

A Question to Sit With

What makes you feel most alive?
