Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The good looks after the one who loves it.

It stays with them all day and night, and never once forgets them.

The good stays with the one who loves it, all day and night, and never once forgets them.
The deeper layer

The rahao: "He Himself saves His humble servant... He dwells with His servant twenty-four hours a day; He never forgets him." A deep comfort — the good is with you constantly, and never forgets you, even for a moment. For a child: the good stays with the one who loves it, all day and night, and never forgets them.

A Question to Sit With

How does it feel to know you're never forgotten, not even for a moment?
