mahaa mugaDh ajaan agi-aanee raakhay Dhaar da-ay.
Even utterly foolish, ignorant and thoughtless persons have been saved by the Kind Lord.
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰਾ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਆਵਨ ਜਾਨ ਰਹੇ ॥੨॥੧॥੧੨੬॥
kaho naanak gur pooraa bhayti-o aavan jaan rahay. ||2||1||126||
Says Nanak, I have met the Perfect Guru; my comings and goings have ended. ||2||1||126||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Even someone who feels completely lost and unsure is gathered up and held by the kind One.
Nanak says, I have met the Perfect Guru, and my restless coming and going has come to rest.
No one is too lost to be welcomed and held.
mahaa mugadh ajaan agi-aanee -- carried gently as one who feels lost and unsure, not as an insult. raakhay dhaar da-ay -- held by kindness. aavan jaan rahay -- the restless back-and-forth coming to rest. The door is open to everyone, especially those who feel least ready. Closes at ||126||.
