Summary
This quote implies that Heaven's scope for granting mercy and forgiveness is boundless, encompassing all individuals and their diverse transgressions. However, the forgiveness it offers is not haphazardly given but selectively applied with careful discernment. This is symbolized by its fine mesh, which suggests a filtering process that ensures only deserving individuals receive redemption. It emphasizes the idea that while divine forgiveness is available to all, it is not without judgment and discernment.
