So much wandering and debate — set down pride, for your precious time is passing.
The Arc
Scroll any comment section. People argue and argue. Others hunt for answers everywhere, trying one path, then another, wandering the whole earth. Underneath it all runs a loud voice saying me, me, me. It makes you foolish, a little dazed. And wherever you go, death walks quietly close by. That is part of every life. So let go of pride. Let go of needing to win. Remember the One, Har, Haray, Haray. Hear it like a friend shaking your shoulder. Your life is a priceless gift. Fill it with remembering the One, and it goes somewhere good. At the centre, the Rahao: people argue and wander on and on, round and round the earth.
