You do not have to pass a test to be loved and chosen.
The Arc
The Rahau finds well-being here and hereafter under the Perfect Guide's complete care. The first verse fills mind and body with the Beloved, so that pains lift and troubles dissolve of themselves. The close states the heart of grace plainly: merits and demerits went unweighed; out of pure kindness the One made the singer His own -- and the joy of it is sung aloud.
