The truly brave one is brave enough to shelter you.
The Arc
Why put on a show, the shabad asks — the heart-enchanting One (Mohan) is already tender to the humble. The Pause names the Teacher as the brave one who gives sanctuary and guards one's honor. The One leans close to those who love and is forever the giver of peace; the seeker asks for one thing only — to keep the Name — begging with open, empty hands for what dissolves duality.
