Any hour is the right hour, and anyone at all may begin.
The Arc
Say the Naam, and the way ahead clears. Even the fear of death runs off. Pains fade, and the One comes to live in you. Sing the Naam with joy, again and again. Nothing can block that kind of love. Remember the One, and the scary things in the dark lose their grip. Clinging and pride loosen their ropes. Any hour is a good hour. Only a few people stop to remember, and anyone at all may. Your family, your rank, none of it matters here. Say the Naam with others. Ask to remember the One with every breath. At the centre, the Rahao: sing the Naam with joy, again and again; nothing can block that love.
