"He watches over every breath of the one who loves."
The Arc
When the Guru is pleased with you, fear leaves. The knots inside come loose. Keep the Naam of the pure One in your mind. The One is kind to the humble, every time. Find people who gather to remember the One. With them, peace and calm come easily, and the sweet Naam is on your tongue. Love the One, and the monster that haunts you can vanish in a moment. You are watched over, breath by breath. A hand reaches out and keeps you safe, even from the biggest fear. Live clean, and your good name stays clean. The treasure of the Naam comes as a gift. At the centre, the Rahao: in the Sangat, fear and doubt melt away and peace comes.
