The saints who cover your faults are a clean kind of wealth.
The Arc
Think of the people who make you calmer just by being around. Meet the Sangat, people gathered together to remember the One, and the One comes into your thoughts. Your restless mind settles. You want to bow, again and again, out of thanks. Seeing holy people live well feeds you, like water after a long run. They are a wealth that stays clean. When you slip up, they cover your mistake instead of showing it off. The ache inside goes quiet. Your attention, thinking and understanding all light up. The One is deep beyond measure and cares for every living thing. At the centre, the Rahao: hold on to the saints' shelter, and you find peace and safety.
