Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The teaching, the Lord of the world, is full of bliss.
Holding the Name again and again, I live in a deep, unbroken gladness; and the One keeps to His loving nature.
The deepest gladness comes from holding, again and again, what you love.
Parmaanandaa -- supreme bliss. Prabh apnaa birad rakhaa-i-aa -- the One keeps true to birad, His inborn loving nature; grace is reliable because it flows from what the One simply is.
