Rest in a Forgiving One and Grow Forgiving
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those who serve with a full heart are content — they steer clear of harm and quietly do good.
And the Great Forgiver keeps on giving, more and more each day, never running out.
The Pauree paints a portrait of a contented, good life: those who serve are satisfied, they do not place their feet in sin but do good and live rightly, keeping life simple — a diet of grain and water. It's a picture of a heart at peace: not grasping, not harming, just quietly good. And the source of it all is named with a beautiful title — the Great Forgiver who gives continually, more and more each day. Notice the pairing: the people forgive and do good because they are held by One whose defining quality is forgiving and giving. You become like what holds you. Rest in a generous, forgiving One, and generosity and gentleness grow in you.
How does being forgiven and cared for make it easier to be kind to others?
