Hold the One in mind and health flows, delight grows steady, and every sense of being apart melts into nearness.
The Arc
Say Har, Har, Har, and keep the One in mind. You become well. Worry, greed, anger and fear are the kind of sickness that hits the heart. Remembering works on them like a healing rod and drives them away. Through the perfect Guru you remember the One, and the joy comes back every day, like a meal you sit down to each evening. Give your heart to the Sangat. That is where you find yourself joined to the One. Remembering brings peace, and the ache of feeling far away melts. The One can do anything, and you are safe in that shelter. At the centre, the Rahao: worship the Lord, Har, Har, Har, and become well, for the Lord's healing rod drives sickness away.
