Comfort arrives the very moment we turn; shelter, once seen, is everywhere.
The Arc
A short, settled shabad. The rahau: even the sinking one is comforted the moment they turn to the One, and clinging, doubt, and pain let go. The first verse remembers the Guru's feet day and night and finds shelter wherever the eyes fall. The close: by the grace of the devoted, singing the One's praises, meeting the Guru, peace is found.
Key Vocabulary
