The fearless, formless One lives in all - and keeps safe whoever rests in Him.
The Arc
Save the wealth that goes everywhere with you. Toys, money and phones all stay behind one day. The Naam walks beside you, like a friend on a long road. Turning toward the One starts small, and the turn itself is a gift. Say the Naam each day and peace comes, and it gets sweeter, like a favorite song. The One is fearless and has no form. Rest in that, and fear loosens its hold, like a storm heard from a parent's arms. Unkindness aimed at a steady heart runs out of fuel. One pure Maker lives in everyone, and keeps you safe. At the centre, the Rahao: the one blessed with grace remembers the One each day, finds peace, and is carried across.
