Raag Goojaree
Commentary

Raag Devgandhaari, Fifth Mehl (Guru Arjan)

Accepted whole — the Giver to the unworthy.

(Placed in the Goojaree section, which spans into Raag Devgandhaari.)

The Arc

Mercy that bears with all one's merits and demerits, undoing the inner forces of self-destruction (P0); grace defined as the gift to the unworthy (P1).

Translation Notes

  • P0 'sinner, hypocritical and greedy' is rendered as honest self-acknowledgment held within acceptance, not self-contempt; the 'wicked ones' as inner self-destructive forces undone by grace, per the voice rules.
