You gave me everything I have — so when I sing Your Name, I rise up light and glad.
The Arc
Your breath, your body, your life were all given to you. Even on days you feel foolish, a light shines inside you that you didn't make. Everyone comes with open hands, and the One who is kind fills them. Everything you have flows from one Source, the One who makes everything happen. Say the Naam, and you are carried across. Calm settles in. Honor comes. The road clears. This rare life is for speaking that Naam. Rest comes when you sit with the Sangat. Everything around you is the One's play, rising and folding back into the One. Peace comes when you meet the Guru. At the centre, the Rahao: the One makes everything happen, and everything you have comes from the One.
