The peace of a million chants comes as a gift of good fortune.
The Arc
Some people work for years to find peace. Millions of chants. Long hours of sitting still. That same peace can come as a gift of good fortune, to the love that holds on to the One. So you let go of every other thing you lean on. You remember the One, and doubt gets cut away. It is like putting soothing drops in tired eyes and waking up. Now you can see clearly. The One is deeper than you can measure, an ocean of kindness full of jewels. So you come with open hands and ask for one thing: the Naam. At the centre, the Rahao: love that holds on to the One's feet is blessed, and its peace comes as a gift.
