What you hold in the heart is where the mind goes to rest.
The Arc
Your heart is like a home screen. Whatever you pin there is what you see first, all day. So pin the Guru there. Keep the Guru in your heart, and your mind has somewhere to rest. Remember the One who gives peace, the One who made this whole world. Remember, remember, remember. Let your tongue taste the Naam, the way you taste something good and want more. Honor waits for you in the truest place there is. The treasure is found in the Sangat, singing with others. So ask for one gift: to sing every day. At the centre, the Rahao: keep the Guru in your heart and mind.
