The One who loves us is always near; the truest trust is in the Guru who loosens every knot.
The Arc
Your closest Friend is right here. The One sees what you see, hears what you hear, and stays with everyone. Your time on earth is short. So spend it on what is good. The things you grip so tightly do not stay yours. The Naam does. Later, everything becomes clear. Right now, doubt fogs the view. It is easy to get so wrapped up in family and stuff that you forget who gave them. Love your people well. Keep one trust underneath it all: the Guru, who loosens every knot. At the centre, the Rahao: your dearest Friend is near, so why turn to wrong in so short a life?
