Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
He does not understand what he is told. He is blind and cannot see, and so he does wrong things.
The Highest One gives love and care all on His own. By that grace, greatness is given.
The One's love comes even before you have figured things out.
kahi-o na boojhai anDh na soojhai — he does not understand what he is told, and he cannot see clearly. So he ends up doing bad things. This is someone stumbling in the dark, and the verse does not pile harsh judgment on him.
Then comes the turn. aapay pareet paraym parmaysur — the Highest One pours out love and care. karmee milai vadaa-ee — by karmee, by grace, greatness is given.
Think of a baby learning to walk. It falls over again and again. Its parents do not wait for perfect steps before they love it. They love it right now. Love and greatness come as a gift, not as a reward for being good enough.
Has someone ever loved you even when you did not feel you deserved it?
