The rain has come over the whole world — the long thirst is quenched, the color soaks all the way through.
The Arc
Picture the first big rain after a long dry spell. It covers the whole world, and everything turns green. That is how kindness feels when it reaches you. Joy, delight and peace arrive together. Your troubles wash away. Your long thirst is quenched at last. Sit with people who remember the One, and the endless running stops. Your heart comes home. Let the pure Naam soak into you like dye into cloth, mind and body. You belong. Ask to stay right there, in that shelter. At the centre, the Rahao: the rain of the One's kindness has come over the whole world, bringing joy and peace.
