Now I have found the Support of the One — so every part of me turns the same way, toward joy.
The Arc
A shabad about trust. The rahau announces it: the Support of Ram is found, and whoever seeks the Ocean of Mercy is carried across. Trust then bears fruit — sleep in peace and sahaj, doubt dissolved; the whole self (heart, eyes, ears, feet, tongue) turned toward the One; the saint turning the seeker around to find the priceless Name that never leaves. It closes in glad humility: the servant of God's servants.
