It is simply the One's nature to love you — held so close that no hot wind can reach.
The Arc
Loving the people who love the One is simply part of who the One is. Cruel words aimed at them lose their power and end up under the One's feet. The One's goodness shows everywhere. People all over the world cheer for the One, and every living being carries the One's kindness. The One holds you close, like a hug. Even a scorching wind can't reach you there. Your doubts and fears get wiped away, and happiness takes their place. Those who serve the One live in deep joy. Trust grows in you, quiet and steady. At the centre, the Rahao: it is the One's own nature to love those who love the One.
