Every kind of wellbeing flows from keeping the Name close.
The Arc
A three-verse shabad closing on the raag's name again. The One knows the heart within; the seeker asks for the true, unshakeable sign of the Word. None is so able as the One, the hope and strength of the mind, who provides even daily food and clothing. The close is a cascade of goods—understanding, honor, beauty, comfort—crowned by every wellbeing (kali-aan), all from remembering the Name.
