When the One lives in your heart, steadiness and honesty grow together, and peace travels wherever you go.
The Arc
A shabad on the fruit of an indwelling One. When the Lotus Feet dwell in the heart, the person does not waver, and every real comfort and treasure follows. The wisdom deepens when one sees the One in all and unties the knot of hypocrisy, again and again weighing the heart against truth rather than reaching for Maya. The close: such a soul finds peace wherever it goes, unshaken by Maya, absorbed in the love of the One.
