In the Guru's shelter you are carried across, and fear finds nowhere to stand.
The Arc
Some things in life feel like a wide, deep river: a new school, a hard test, a scary change at home. You do not have to swim it alone. Step into the Guru's shelter, and you are carried across, like a ferry taking you to the other side. The One fills every place, and every space between places, like WiFi with no dead spots. The One feeds and cares for everything that lives. The One has been protecting people from the very beginning. So when you remember the One, fear has nowhere to stand. At the centre, the Rahao: the Guru's shelter keeps you safe.
