Maaroo, Third Mehl:
ਪਿਛਲੇ ਗੁਨਹ ਬਖਸਾਇ ਜੀਉ ਅਬ ਤੂ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਪਾਇ ॥
pichhlay gunah bakhsaa-ay jee-o ab too maarag paa-ay.
Please forgive my past mistakes, O my Dear Lord; now, please place me on the Path.
ਹਰਿ ਕੀ ਚਰਣੀ ਲਾਗਿ ਰਹਾ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਇ ॥੧॥
har kee charnee laag rahaa vichahu aap gavaa-ay. ||1||
I remain attached to the Lord's Feet, and eradicate self-conceit from within. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Let my past stumbles be gently forgiven, and set my feet on a good path.
Let me stay close, resting at Your feet, letting my puffed-up pride quietly dissolve.
A fresh start feels possible when I set down the heavy self and simply turn toward You.
A fresh start begins the moment you set down your pride and turn.
A clean start (pichhle gunah bakhsaa-ay) comes through mercy, the mercy that places me on the Path. The inner move is aap gavaa-ay, letting the self-conceit dissolve. Forgiveness here is a doorway to walking better from now on.
A Question to Sit With
What would a fresh start look like for you today?
