Clear the fog of all-about-me, and you find the root you grew from: your Father, the One.
The Arc
It is easy to go through a day without knowing where you come from. You can lose track of yourself too, when doubt and ego settle in like fog. Call the One your Father, your Master. Bring your empty hands and ask to be carried across. Every start and every ending comes from the same One. The One's people think this over and grow steady. In a loud, restless age, the ones dyed in the color of the Naam live at peace. When you look for a way across, one way comes to mind. The Guru's Word carries you over. At the centre, the Rahao: your Father, the One, carries you across, empty hands and all.
