Nothing happens apart from the One; by grace the prickly ego melts, and wherever you are placed, you can give your best.
The Arc
Whatever the One wants, happens. Nothing stands outside that. Feel how big that is, and even the fear of death loosens and walks away. Then grace does something you could never force. The prickly "me first" feeling melts, like ice in the sun. You might search everywhere for happiness: the next game, the next win. Without the Naam, it is a mirage. Every comfort in life is found in the Sangat. So you drop the clever plans. Wherever you are placed, you give your best, because the One is already there. And you ask the One for everything. At the centre, the Rahao: freedom by grace, the ego melting away.
