Now I have found the Support of the One — so every part of me turns the same way, toward joy.
The Arc
Think of the moment you lean back in a chair you trust. Your whole weight, no bracing. That is this trust. Whoever comes to the Ocean of Mercy for shelter gets carried across the rough water. Sleep comes easy. The Guru takes the doubt away. Then every part of you turns the same way. Your heart remembers. Your eyes look. Your ears listen. Your feet walk the path, and your tongue sings. One of the Guru's people turns you around, and you see joy everywhere. The Naam is a jewel that stays. And all you want is to serve those who serve. At the centre, the Rahao: now I have the One to lean on, and all who seek the Ocean of Mercy are carried across.
