Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
It is so easy to drift along without ever turning my thoughts toward the One, letting the days go by.
So here is my honest prayer: I stumble again and again, I know I do, but You are faithful by Your very nature.
Hold me steady. Your kindness is bigger than all my mistakes.
rahio achayt na chaytio gobind — remaining heedless, not remembering; birthaa a-oDh siraanee — life passing empty; har birad pachhaanao, bhoolay sadaa paraanee — O Lord, live up to Your own faithful nature; this being always errs. Birad again: the One's built-in faithfulness that rescues the one who keeps slipping. The Mehl 9 pattern — honest about human forgetfulness, resolved in trust, not fear. This closes the shabad.
When you make the same mistake again, what would it feel like to be met with kindness instead of blame?
