api ched asi pāpebhyaḥ sarvebhyaḥ pāpa-kṛit-tamaḥ
sarvaṁ jñāna-plavenaiva vṛijinaṁ santariṣhyasi||36||

Meaning : Arjuna, do not lose heart, even if you think you’ve done great wrong. The power of true knowledge is like a boat—it can carry you across the stormy sea of sins and mistakes. Just as a strong boat crosses a dangerous river, wisdom will help you rise above the past and reach freedom.
