The Arc
Opening Dupde Ghar 9, the Rahau credits the uniting to the One -- and from the moment of shelter, the burden lifts. The first verse sets down pride and needless worry, and the Name lifts illness right out of the body. The close swings the door wide: even one who feels wholly lost is gathered and held, restless coming-and-going brought to rest.
