Everyone lives by the one thing they love — and mine is the One.
The Arc
Look at what keeps people going. A shopkeeper thinks about sales. A gambler thinks about the next bet. Someone hooked on a drug lives for the next dose. Everyone gets soaked in whatever they love. Peacocks dance when the rain clouds come. The lotus opens when the moon rises. A mother lights up when she sees her baby. A tiger wants meat, a warrior's heart leaps at the battle, a miser loves his money. You can live by the One the same way, leaning your whole weight on the Naam. Every love and every comfort is held inside that one love, and it comes as a gift. At the centre, the Rahao: everyone is soaked in what they love, and the One sets each heart on its path.
