Cooled, quenched, and given belonging — the One who parents everyone.
The Arc
Some days your mind runs hot. Worry, anger, wanting things you cannot have. The One keeps you safe from that fever and from the wrong turns it pushes you toward. Sit at the Guru's feet, and you cool down, like shade on a hot afternoon. Keep the Naam going in your heart. The One reaches out kind hands to the whole world. The ache fades. Joy moves in. The thirst for more finally goes quiet. And if you ever feel alone, the One is your someone, mother and father to everyone, the One who breaks fear. At the centre, the Rahao: kept safe by the One, and cooled at the Guru's feet with the Naam in the heart.
