The Arc
If you could ask one person you admire for one lesson, what would it be? Ask holy people this: how do I keep my mind on the One, love the One, help where I can, and feel part of the One? Then spend time with them. Help them, talk with them, sit down and stand up beside them. Your restless wanting, wave after wave, starts to calm like a sea going still. You do not need a plane ticket to a famous holy place. Being near people who love the One is worth more than a million trips. Old stains wash right off. At the centre, the Rahao: ask holy people how to love the One.
