The Maker of all causes is also the breath nearest to you.
The Arc
The One who made everything is also the breath closest to you. One look at the Guru, and the hurt starts to ease. Turn any way you like. You are inside the One's shelter. Give yourself to the Guru with all your heart. Your work comes out whole. Someone takes your hand. The Naam makes its home in you. Joy can stay, even on a hard day, because everything belongs to the One. The One fills the ocean, the ground under your feet, and the sky. Everything you see comes from one Source. At the centre, the Rahao: wherever you look, you are inside the One's shelter.
