As many mistakes as the son commits, his mother does not hold them against him in her mind (she forgives). -Bhagat Kabir, Guru Granth Sahib, 478
Message: Understanding mother
Mothers will always be mothers, and love their children unconditionally.
Sometimes we are extremely worried on account of our past mistakes or wrongdoings. We are riddled with guilt and wonder how we would face the Almighty.
Like a loving mother, the Divine is very compassionate. He forgives us and guides us to the truthful path.
Just as a mother does not keep a grudge even when her children have done something terribly wrong, the Divine does not keep a grudge against us either.
As children of the Creator, we can approach Him and pray to Him in all humility to pardon our previous mistakes and to give us such an understanding that we may overcome our weaknesses and acquire healthy traits in future.
Etymology: From Sanskrit sut (son).
