When mercy rests on you, time stops feeling like an enemy; singing in the Sangat unties the knots, guided and fed by the same One.
The Arc
Ever feel like time is against you? The clock ticks, the test is ending, the week is gone. When the One is kind to you, your days fill with remembering, and that fear of time running out loosens its grip. You do this together. In the Sangat you sing, and the knots of worry come untied, one by one. You walk in heavy and walk out lighter. The One who shows you the way is the same One who feeds you and holds you, like a parent who helps with homework and packs your lunch. So ask for something small: to walk behind the Guru's people and learn from them. At the centre, the Rahao: the one the Lord is kind to spends their time remembering the One.
