अपि चेत्सुदुराचारो भजते मामनन्यभाक् । साधुरेव स मन्तव्यः सम्यग्व्यवसितो हि सः ॥ ३० ॥
api chet su-durāchāro bhajate mām ananya-bhāk sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ samyag vyavasito hi saḥ
Translation
Even if a person of very bad conduct worships me with undivided devotion, they should be regarded as good, for they have rightly resolved.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
यदि कोई अतिशय दुराचारी भी अनन्य भाव से मेरा भक्त होकर मुझको भजता है, तो वह साधु ही मानने योग्य है; क्योंकि वह यथार्थ निश्चय वाला है।
Commentary
A revolutionary verse. What counts is the direction a person has turned, not only their past. Someone with a bad past who sincerely turns to God has made the right decision (samyag vyavasitaḥ), and should be treated as a sadhu.
