Meet the Guru, and the tug-of-war inside you stops. Worry fades. Love for the Naam takes its place. It feels like waking up after sleeping for ages. Grace pulls you into helping, and with the Sangat, people gathered to remember the One, every joy is there. The Guru's words work like medicine. They clear what is sick inside and fill your mind with joy. The fear of birth and death lifts. Your heart, shut like a bud, turns up and blooms. Singing brings a peace that stays. This life is rare. Fill it with the Naam, and it bears fruit, breath by breath and bite by bite. At the centre, the Rahao: in kindness, the One draws you into service, and in the Sangat every joy is found.
