Blessed are those who are saved from a capsizing boat. If drowned, there would be nothing but repentance.
All those who escape from a burning house are blessed people. Nothing can be done if one is burnt into ashes.
As one wakes up when the thief is committing theft, whatever is left behind by him is bonus and blessing. Otherwise one would find the house empty in the morning.
Similarly if a wayward person comes to the refuge of Guru even at the near end of his life, he can achieve a state of emancipation. Otherwise he would fall in the hands of angels of death and keep wailing. (69)
