You were apart from the One for a long time. Remember the One, and every wish comes true, and you are brought back together. Keep the Lord of the World in your mind. That memory brings peace and an easy calm. One kind look from the One, and you are cared for. The One looks after you personally. Love makes your resting place beautiful, and the Giver of peace comes to meet you. The One doesn't sit and weigh your good points against your faults. So you bow in love and stay close. At the centre, the Rahao: remember the One, and peace and an easy calm come with it.
