Remember the One, again and again, until it becomes a heartbeat that carries you across the roughest waters — and the humble dust of the good blesses you with peace.
The Arc
Remember the One. Remember the One. Remember the One. Say it like a heartbeat, steady and soft. Fights, wanting more and more, holding on too tight: these are the rough waves. Remembering carries you over them. Do it with each breath, through the day and into the night. Do it in the Sangat, with people gathered to remember the One. There you can hold the Naam like a treasure, without any fear. Then bow, and think about all the good the One has done. Stay humble, low as the dust at kind people's feet. Peace and joy grow from there. At the centre, the Rahao: remember the One, again and again, and you are carried across.
