When the heart loves the One wholly, the old feeling of being split burns away.
The Arc
Ever been so into something that nothing else gets a look in? That is how the heart feels about the One here. No hedging, no backup plan. The feeling of being pulled in a hundred directions burns off. When you pour yourself into things that cannot fill you, it can feel like sitting at the bottom of a dark well. The wish to see the One reaches down and pulls you out. You do not climb alone. With the saints' help you meet the One who gives peace. The loud me-me-me voice goes quiet. Then your mind and body bloom like a forest in spring. At the centre, the Rahao: I know none but the One, and the split heart has burned away.

Themes and Cross-Connections

For Raag Saarang
The raag’s thirst becomes single-pointed love here: one Beloved, no second, and a forest of gladness where the craving used to be.
