Soul, body and breath all belong to the One, present in every heart; stay tuned to the Name and turn toward the Maker you cannot see; mind and body drenched in that love, doubt and fear melt; living the teaching truthfully brings real freedom, rare as it is; and wherever the eyes turn, there is the One — so the whole self is offered up and the small, separate me dissolves. This closes the Third Mehl chaupade run.
