See the oneness, and no one is a stranger anymore.
The Arc
Think of someone whose win made you jealous. Spend time in the Sangat, with people gathered to remember the One, and that hot sting of envy fades until you forget it. Then something quiet happens. Nobody feels like an enemy. Nobody feels like a stranger. You get along with everyone. Whatever the One sends your way, you take as good. You learn that wise way from holy people who already live it. The same One is present in every person you pass today. Keep looking, and your heart opens like a flower. At the centre, the Rahao: in the Sangat, jealousy of others melts away.
