"Free of hate, the Giver forgives; the veil lifts, and dry wood turns green."
The Arc
It opens with nirvair — the One who holds no enmity and forgives freely — then moves through belonging ("all is Yours"), the lifting of the veil of illusion, and the hope-image of dry wood greening, before landing on grace reaching even the one who feels least deserving.
The open door for the one who "gets things wrong" pairs with B00C2403's falling-away of old mistakes. Dry-wood-green renewal recurs in B00C2400 ("turns the dry into green").
Translation Notes
The literal "sinner," "unworthy," and "ungrateful" are rendered as having gotten things wrong and feeling small — empty-handedness toward grace rather than self-condemnation.
For Raag Bhairao
The greening of dry wood is a dawn image, at home in bright Bhairao: what looked finished stirs back to life.
