The egg of doubt bursts, and the boiling mind cools.
The Arc
Some days your mind is a pot left on the stove. Thoughts bubble and spill over. You go round and round. Then the Guru gives you the Naam, and it cools you like cold water on a hot day. Doubt cracks open like an eggshell, and light gets in. The chains on your feet fall off. The worries that kept watching you drift away when you sit with the Sangat. A heavy bag slides off your shoulders. You reach the far shore. And you find a home built on what is true. At the centre, the Rahao: the coming and going has ended, and the boiling pot has cooled, because the Guru gave the cooling Naam.
