Real learning begins with being humble enough to receive it.
The Arc
Think of the best player on your team. You watch how they move, and you learn just by being near them. Ask the One for that kind of humble heart: to bow your head before the saints, to look at them closely, to sit in the dust of their path. Let the Guru's word move into your heart and the Naam into your mind. Inside you, five thieves keep grabbing: wanting too much, anger, greed, clinging, pride. Ask for them to be sent away. Let your doubts burn off like incense. Whatever the One does, take it as good. Then the Sangat lifts you up. At the centre, the Rahao: ask the One to let you bow before the saints.
