Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Even when the missteps have piled high, page after page, no one is beyond reach. The One is an ocean of peace, and one drop of that mercy is enough to lift you and carry you home.
This one says that no pile of mistakes is too big for mercy.
BaDhay bikaar likhay baho kaagar — the wrongs have grown, written down on page after page. That could sound scary, like a report card covered in red marks. But Guru Arjan turns at once to rescue.
Naanak uDhar kirpaa sukh saagar — Nanak says we are lifted out by the mercy of the One, the ocean of peace. The whole long list is answered by one word: mercy. No account is too long for grace to wipe clean. Hope gets the last word.
When you've messed up more than once, what does it feel like to be forgiven anyway?
