Think of the One, and your mind lights up. Troubles ease into calm. That gift comes freely, along with the chance to serve. Every kind of peace is in the Naam, so let it run through your whole day. Keep the Naam in your mind, and your heart's wish comes true. The restless coming and going ends, and your attention settles with love. Craving, anger and pride come undone. The pull of stuff loses its grip. Lean on the One, day and night; even that leaning is a gift. The One made everything and knows every heart, yours too. Ask to help, and stay close. At the centre, the Rahao: every kind of peace is in the Naam, so sing it all day long.
