The true Guru is the true Giver — and the only fitting answer to a One beyond all measure is Waaho, the sound of awe.
The Arc
Some gifts run out. A new game gets old, and a gift card hits zero. The true Guru is a Giver who keeps on giving. One clear look, and the heavy stuff you carry starts to lift. Much of what you see wobbles and fades. The One stays true. The holy people stay true. The Naam stands steady. So put your love there, and sing. You will never measure the One who holds up every heart. When you see a sky full of stars, you breathe out a quiet wow. That wow is Waaho, praise for the One who has no end. At the centre, the Rahao: the true Guru, the true Giver, whose one sight sends every sorrow away.
