Meaning
Svayam eva, of itself. So the work that one does, on this account, is to become calm and friendly. The rest is not done. The commentary glosses prasīdati as growing clear without effort, while another commentary reads it as the Supreme graciously showing favour. Reality as what clears, or reality as one that shows grace: the Sanskrit holds both. Sauhārda, good-heartedness, is important too. Calm that is cold is not what is meant.
