Deeper
Picture a plate set in front of you. On it lie three things: truth, contentment, and thinking deeply. Over them is poured the nectar of the Naam, which holds everyone up. Eat it, enjoy it, and you are carried across. Keep it in your heart every day. The dark ocean of the world is crossed by holding on to the One, and all of it is the One, spread out. Then comes a thank-you with empty hands: I did not see all You did for me. Mercy came on its own, and with the Naam, body and mind turn green like a watered plant. A garland of raags follows, many melodies on one thread. At the center, the opening line: on this plate lie truth, contentment and thinking deeply, and the nectar of the Naam that holds everyone up.
