Love the One long enough, and the gap between you disappears.
The Arc
Your mind can fall in love. Let it fall in love with the Naam. The Guru's words turn sweet in your heart, and grace pours over you. Keep the Naam close in every moment, like a quiet heartbeat. It comes to live in your mind and your body. The One lives inside you, in the village of your body. That ease shows on your face. Stay tuned to the Fearless One, and your own fear grows small. Millions of old mistakes can fall away in a single moment. The One settles inside the one who loves. In the end, the two are one and the same. At the centre, the Rahao: keep the Naam close in every moment, and it lives in your mind and body.

For Raag Prabhaatee
A dawn hymn of love ripening into union — the morning's quiet closeness deepening until there is no distance left.
