When you feel held, fear loses its reason, and hurt keeps its distance.
The Arc
Everything that lives moves in the One's care. Birds, trees, people, you. When you feel that closeness, fear has nothing left to hold on to. Think of a little kid on a busy street, holding a parent's hand. The cars are still loud. The kid feels safe anyway. Keep the One in your thoughts, and pain slides off you like rain off a jacket. Even the fear of dying stays far away from a heart that loves the Guru. The One is the reason behind every reason. Rest in that shelter, and your mind finds a strength that holds steady. At the centre, the Rahao: pain cannot cling to a heart that remembers the One.
