Sing the One with your voice, make room in your heart, and breathe the Name in and out — the One is home even for those who have none.
The Arc
Your mouth does a lot all day: snacks, chatter, complaints, the same song stuck on repeat. Give it one better job. Sing the praises of the One. Of every taste you know, the Naam is the sweetest. Make a little room in your heart and let the One live there. Sit with the Sangat, and your heart grows clear, like water when the mud settles. The worries that keep circling start to rest. The One holds up your soul and your breath. The One is a home for anyone who has nowhere to belong. Breathe in, breathe out, and keep the One close each time. At the centre, the Rahao: a tongue singing the praise of the One, and the Naam the sweetest taste of all.
