No one is free of struggle, so no one need be ashamed of it; and peace is never something we must hurt ourselves to earn.
The Arc
One Light fills the whole world, and there is no other. Those who live by the Word grow close to the One, as easily as a river joins the sea. Gifts pour in all day long, and it is easy to forget where they came from. Without the Naam, even your favorite food tastes flat, like a meal when you have a cold. Truth is the food that fills you. Here is something honest: nobody is free of struggle. Not one person. Peace comes through love and remembering the One. And you came, and will one day go, in one flow you can trust. At the centre, the opening line: the One meets those who live by the Word, and one Light fills everything.
