It is a bath that washes you clean. It sets your work in order. It is your honor and your greatness. When life feels like a rough sea, the Naam carries you across. It is a treasure beyond reach and a gem beyond price. You receive it at the Guru's feet. The One turns kind, and your heart fills with joy at the sight of the One. At the centre, the Rahao: singing and remembering the Naam fills my home with joy and holds up my breath.
