Keep the One in mind, every moment, in your heart and on your lips. Fear moves far away. Wrongs lift. Even heavy pain breaks. The Naam is a treasure that never runs out, and remembering with every breath becomes your joy. Every living thing stands with open hands, and the One gives to all. You can come with nothing, no goodness of your own and no one to protect you. Come to the One's shelter. The Guru plants the Naam in you. The fire of wanting goes out. Peace comes, like meeting someone you have missed for a long time. At the centre, the opening line: my mind, remember the One and do not forget, even for a moment.
