Where the One is loved out loud, joy fills day and night.
The Arc
Picture a house where good music is always playing. The story of the One is told there. Praise is sung. Songs of joy carry from morning to night. Being around people like that changes you. Kindness pulls you in, and the gift of the Naam is handed to you for free. Sing along all day, and the heat of wanting and anger cools down on its own, the way a fever breaks. Then something simple happens. You look toward the One and feel full, like after a big family dinner. All you want is to stay in that room, in the Sangat. At the centre, the Rahao: with the saints, the One's story and praise filling the day and the night.
