You made me Your servant and blessed me with service — so what is there to boast about? The One is guru and disciple both, and we move as the One moves us.
The Arc
Say you are great at helping people. Where did that come from? The One made you someone who serves and handed you the chance to serve. So there is nothing to brag about. Life is the One's game, and the same One plays inside everyone on the field. Your voice, your ideas, your energy all run on the One's light. The One is the Guru and also the student taking notes. When the Guru is glad, the Naam fills you, and your focus gets easy, day and night. Some people feel at home. Some keep circling in pride. Who can know all the One's ways? At the centre, the Rahao: when the Guru is pleased, you merge into the Naam, and focus comes easily, night and day.
