The greatest gift is not power but the chance to love.
The Arc
Think of the person you love most. Being near them makes the whole day feel fresh. The glory of the Beloved does that to your mind. It colors you with a love that never fades, and keeps you new. Even the mightiest beings in the old stories, creators and kings of the gods, ask for one gift: the chance to praise and love the One. Yogis, teachers and quiet meditators all turn toward the One's waves, like swimmers facing the sea. So stay close to the holy people who stay close to the One. Their company is worth everything you have. At the centre, the Rahao: the glory of the Beloved keeps the mind new forever, colored by love.
