A homecoming song: the One who sent you has called you back — come home in peace, your troubles behind you; stand steady, for the Maker has worked a true wonder.
The Arc
Think of the end of a long trip. The bus pulls in, and your family is waiting. You do not have to earn that welcome. You just walk in. The One who sent you out is calling you home now. The hard stuff is behind you. The One cleared it away. All the running around can stop. Inside, there is music, the kind that plays when someone is glad you are back. So stand steady. Let the Guru's words be your roots, like a tree in strong wind. Your face will shine. All of this is a wonder the Maker worked, a gift. At the centre, the Rahao: the trouble is over, and the One is calling you home.

Themes and Cross-Connections
The homecoming frame — sent out, then lovingly recalled — is a beautiful expression of the soul's return to its source, and sahj (natural ease) sits at its center: the aligned soul at home in itself. That the One turns the heart homeward Himself keeps the movement squarely within grace received, not earned.
For Raag Dhanaasaree
