No One Is Too Fallen for Grace

ਕਲਿਜੁਗੁ ਉਧਾਰਿਆ ਗੁਰਦੇਵ ॥
kalijug uDhaari-aa gurdayv.
The Divine Guru is the Saving Grace in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga.
ਮਲ ਮੂਤ ਮੂੜ ਜਿ ਮੁਘਦ ਹੋਤੇ ਸਭਿ ਲਗੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਸੇਵ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
mal moot moorh je mughad hotay sabh lagay tayree sayv. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Even those fools and idiots, stained with feces and urine, have all taken to Your service. ||1||Pause||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The Divine Guru is the Saving Grace of this dark age.

Even the most fallen, whom everyone wrote off, have all taken to Your service.

No one is too fallen for grace — even those the world wrote off are taken in.
The deeper layer

The Pause: "the Divine Guru is the Saving Grace in this Dark Age." And the proof is the reach of that grace — "even those fools and idiots" the world had written off "have all taken to Your service." No one is too low for the Guru's saving grace in this age.

A Question to Sit With

Is anyone really beyond the reach of a fresh start?
