When the eye clears, everywhere becomes the right place to be.
The Arc
Some days do not go your way. A plan falls through, a friend cancels. What if you could take whatever comes as good? In the Sangat, people gathered together to remember the One, a confused mind finds its footing. The wobbling stops, and you settle into what is true. Seen with clear eyes, everything is pure. Wherever you are placed becomes a place of freedom. Every holy place on earth is right where holy people set their feet, and heaven is wherever the Naam is sung. The One lives in every heart, and that kindness shines in plain view. The shutters swing open, and doubts run off. At the centre, the Rahao: accept the flow of life, with the Guru beside you, and the pain is gone.
