Let your mind keep turning back to the One. The One has no shape you could draw, and is great beyond all. Find people who remember the One together, and sing with them. That chance is a bright gift written into your life. Picture a home where praise is sung. It fills right up with joy. The Guru's teaching brings peace there. The One holds up the whole world, kind and creating. Everything you see is the One, the One, the One. So come to that shelter, and ask for the Guru's teaching to keep you singing. At the centre, the Rahao: O mind, remember the One who has no shape, together with the Sangat.
