Born because of the karma of their past mistakes, they make more mistakes, and fall into mistakes.

dhote mool na utareh je sau dhovan paeh |
By washing, their pollution is not removed, even though they may wash hundreds of times.

O Nanak, if God forgives, they are forgiven; otherwise, they are kicked and beaten. ||1||
