The rare people who make you shine; everyone reaching toward the same One.
The Arc
Some people are dyed in Truth the way cloth is dyed in color. They are rare, so go looking for them. Spend time with them and your own face starts to glow. The Naam comes easier. Keep the True Master close inside you. When you are unsure, ask the Guru and look for yourself. Then go after the goods that last. Everyone serves the same One, and once you meet the One, you stay together. Doubt and pride can fog things up for a while. Some things you cannot force. So stand up and ask. When the Naam lives in you, the answer is a warm "well done." At the centre, the Rahao: the True Master, kept close in the heart, and the Guru asked for the way.
