Some days you need help. Go to people who live close to the One, and ask to be lifted. Just seeing them face to face can leave you clean inside. They plant the Naam in you, firm as a seed in soil. The sickness inside you gets cut away, and your mind turns clear, the way medicine clears a fever. You stop rushing from one thing to the next. You settle into a home of peace. And the good spreads: whole families are carried across with you. None of you stay stuck to the shiny things that pass. At the centre, the Rahao: come to holy people, and you are lifted up.
