Beyond all measure, yet everywhere — met only when grace opens.
The Arc
Some things you cannot reach by trying harder. The Master of the world is like that. No measure holds the One. No map leads there. No mind can grasp it. And the One fills everything around you, every room and every breath. Talking about it gets you nowhere. Rushing from place to place gets you nowhere. Clever plans and tricks come up empty too. People try every kind of effort. The meeting comes when mercy comes. The One is kind, a treasure of mercy. So keep your heart low and open, like the dust on the path where holy people walk. At the centre, the Rahao: the One is hard to reach, beyond every measure, and fills everything.
