Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When we don't lean on any wisdom, it's hard to reflect on what really matters.
Puffed-up pride tends to trip us up and bring us low.
But the good is always ready to forgive and welcome us back.
A Shalok on pride, gently rendered: without wisdom "the fool wanders," and "those who take unjustified pride are humbled." The qMonk voice softens the punishment-imagery to the gentle truth that pride trips us up — and holds onto the hopeful close: "the Lord Himself is the Forgiver." Pride brings us low, but forgiveness is always waiting. For a child: pride tends to trip us up — but the good is always ready to forgive and welcome us back.
When pride has tripped you up, what helps you get back up again?
