Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
You may bring wood and more wood and stack it into a great pile, yet in a moment fire turns it all to ash.
In the same way, someone turned away from the One may pile up terrible wrongs, but meeting a holy person, all those wrongs are put into the fire.
Wrongs piled up for years can burn away in a moment when you meet a holy person.
Aan aan samDhaa: wood brought and brought, piled high. In a moment, pal, fire, baisantar, turns it to bhasam, ash. The saakat, someone who has turned away from the One, may gather mahaa ugar paap, huge, heavy wrongs. Yet mil saaDhoo, meeting a holy person, all of it is thrown into the fire. The point is release: no pile is too big to burn.
What is something heavy you have been carrying that you would love to set down?
