Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One's mercy has reached people the whole world had given up on.
Ones who seemed lost, ones no one expected — turned toward the Name, they were carried home.
That same One is the light of my eyes.
Namdev draws on well-known stories from his culture — among them a woman society scorned who was turned toward the Name even by teaching it to a parrot. Rather than the dramatic details, the pattern is the point: no one is beyond the reach of grace. So har nainhu kee pootree — that One is the pupil of my eye, the most precious thing in my sight. The redemption stories are lifted for their tenderness, not their spectacle.
Why does it matter that no person is ever truly too far gone?
