Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
My understanding has grown clouded, Beloved — I can't take in Your greatness.
So please be kind: clear away my confusion, and gently teach me a truer, wiser way of seeing.
Ravidas admits his "intellect is polluted" — clouded, foggy, unable to grasp the Beloved's gat (state, greatness). Handled gently, this is honest self-awareness, not self-attack: my seeing is cloudy right now. Then the hopeful turn — he asks for kirpaa, kindness/grace, to "dispel doubt" and teach him sumat, true and balanced wisdom. Notice: he doesn't try to force clarity by his own effort; he asks to be given it. That's this project's lens on grace — clarity is received when you become open, not manufactured by strain.
What helps your mind feel clear again when everything seems foggy and confusing?
