ਅਪਣਿਆ ਭਗਤਾ ਨੋ ਆਪੇ ਤੁਠਾ ਅਪਣੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰਿ ਕਲ ਧਾਰੀ ॥੧੨॥
apni-aa bhagtaa no aapay tuthaa apnee kirpaa kar kal Dhaaree. ||12||
He Himself is pleased with His devotees; by His Grace, He infuses His strength within them. ||12||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One Itself is pleased with those who love the One, the way a parent's face lights up.
In kindness, the One pours strength into them.
Being loved pours in a strength you never had to earn.
Apni-aa bhagtaa no aapay tuthaa — He Himself is pleased with His devotees, and kal dhaaree: infuses strength into them. Tuthaa is the warm pleasure of one who delights in you. The strength is not a wage for good work; it flows from being loved.
