Tear down the wall — there was only ever the One, waiting on the other side.
The Arc
A shabad of short, tender couplets moving toward union. The rahau overflows with song and celebrates the fortunate moment of alignment. The pauris trace a gentle exchange — a forehead bowed and blessed by the saints' hands, the mind filled with the holy word and rising above the weather of moods, eyes filled with love as greed and doubt fall away. It closes with the wall of separation torn down and the meeting with supreme bliss.
