The shelter of the One lifts up even those who have fallen; no one is left out.
The Arc
Everyone slips sometimes. Take shelter at the feet of the One, and wellbeing comes. The Naam lifts up people who have fallen and makes them clean again. Join the Sangat, people who gather to remember the One. Remember the One there with your whole heart, and death has no power to swallow you. Think of every prize you could want: freedom, clever ways to win, endless comforts. Loving the One is worth more than all of them. Long to see the One, the way you search for a loved face at the airport. Then the restless wandering ends. At the centre, the Rahao: shelter at the One's feet brings wellbeing, and the Naam makes the fallen pure.
