Remembering what you love calms the mind; the One who lives in the heart makes humility natural.
The Arc
Your mind gets busy. Messages, plans, worries. Remember the Naam, and peace comes in. Sing with holy people, and the peace grows. Some days the One moves into your heart, like a kind guest who brings light into every room. Then bowing comes easily. You lower your head to people who are good and kind, out of thanks. Keep calling your mind back to the Supreme One. Turn toward the Guru. Listen to songs of the One, and let them fill you. At the centre, the Rahao: remembering the Naam brings the mind peace.
