You shall sleep in your mansion, in blankets of silk.

Your soul shall blossom forth in happiness, on this comfortable bed.
ਸੋ ਸਿਮਰਨੁ ਤੂ ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਪੀਉ ॥੫॥

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Remember the One, and you will not have to depend on anyone.
You will sleep in your own home, wrapped in silk.
Your soul blossoms with happiness on a comfortable bed.
So drink in this remembrance, night and day.
A remembered peace lets your heart rest without depending on anything outside.
With remembrance, you owe no one your peace (no obligation). The mansion and silk are pictures of inner ease, not wealth to chase. And the soul 'blossoms' (bigsai) — the blossoming that runs through Gurbani — on that comfortable bed of the settled heart.
A Question to Sit With
What makes your heart feel most at ease?
