Tired from the long journey, I found Your door — and this rare life bore fruit.
The Arc
Pride can grab you. Greed, anger and the other inner thieves can rob you while living right next door. Go to the shelter of holy people, and their company frees you from that pull. Ask them for one gift, worth everything you have. Maybe you have been searching a long time. You get tired. You come and rest at the One's door. Then the One grows kind and gives you the Naam to lean on. Your rare, precious life bears fruit. You are carried safely across the wild sea of the world. At the centre, the Rahao: in the shelter of holy people, the inner thieves lose their hold and you go free.
