One light wears every color; awe of it makes the heart fearless and dyes it through.
The Arc
Think of white cloth dipped in dye. Love of the One soaks into you like that. Awe of the One leaves no room for smaller fears. People dyed in that love stay calm, and the One stays close to them. Being near them brings you to life. Greed and a split mind keep the color from taking. The Guru's words can turn a whole life around. Your ten senses race off in every direction. In the Guru's company they settle. Look anywhere today: one light, wearing countless colors. Face the Guru, and you find a quiet music in the home inside you. After a long time apart, your mind opens like a flower. At the centre, the Rahao: dyed in the One's love, you sing, and awe of the One makes you fearless.
