Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The ones who please the One are simply those it has drawn close with kindness.
They remember it always — and even that remembering is a gift given to them.
The verse answers the question gently: you can't force your way into pleasing the One; those who do are the ones "to whom You have given Your approval," "unto whom You grant Your Grace." Even the ability to remember is grace-given. It quietly relieves the anxious striver: you're already loved; you don't have to earn it. For a child: you don't have to earn being loved — those who please the One are simply the ones it has drawn close with kindness.
How does it feel to know you're loved first, before you've done anything to earn it?
