Even the great sages were carried by love; the Naam still makes its home within.
The Arc
Long ago, Sanak and his brothers were honored sages. Love for the One carried them across. They thought deeply on the Naam. You can ask for that same love. Ask for mercy, and love for the Naam can wake up in you. Love that lives deep inside matters most. Through the Perfect Guru, it brings you to the One. Then you feel at home inside yourself, calm and easy. The Naam settles in your mind. The One sees everything, with care. So keep the Naam close in your heart, like something precious in your pocket. At the centre, the Rahao: ask the One for mercy, and love for the Naam takes hold in you.
