Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Even someone weighed down with every kind of wrong can stand and pray at the One's door.
They are forgiven when the One chooses to forgive.
This one says no one is too far gone to pray.
bahutay a-ugan kookai ko-ee — someone full of many faults can still call out at the One's door. The door is open, even to the one who has done the most wrong.
jaa tis bhaavai bakhsay so-ee — and they are forgiven when the One wishes. Forgiveness is not bought by the prayer. It is given freely.
Think of a child who broke something and comes to say sorry. Saying sorry does not "pay" for the lamp. The parent forgives because they love the child. The open door and the free gift together take away hopelessness.
What would it mean to believe you are never beyond a fresh start?
