When the whole self turns toward what it loves, every sense is nourished and the body blossoms.
The Arc
Picture every part of you turned toward the One. Your mind wants to be near. Your tongue tastes the One like a favorite meal and feels full. Your eyes are content just looking. Your ears fill with praise, and old mistakes wash off like mud in the rain. Your feet find a peaceful path. Around holy people, your whole body blossoms like a plant in spring. Take shelter in the One who never fades. Stop running after other fixes. A hand takes yours, and you will not drown in the dark sea. At the centre, the Rahao: mind, tongue and eyes all find their food in the One.
