Remembering the One, in the Sangat, is a joyful homecoming where every sorrow dissolves.
The Arc
Remember the One, and you are carried safely through. Working only for passing things leaves you with nothing that lasts. Let go of pride and clinging. In the Sangat, people gathered to remember the One, you wake up. Sing with friends, with love and delight. Singing like that, you come alive, and pain loosens its grip. Remembering the One holds the worth of every hard discipline. Phones, money and stuff stay behind one day; the wealth of the One goes with you. Keep it close, like a jewel in your pocket. Then joy comes. Every wish is fulfilled, and the One hugs you close, full of bliss. At the centre, the opening line: those who remember the One are carried safely through.
