Cherished like a child by a mother and a father — completely, and for free.
The Arc
Think about the people who have your back. You can count on some of them at school, and others at home. The One is your help in both places, and in every place after that. The One is the beloved of your soul, so dear that you could never list all the reasons. The care feels like a parent playing with a small child. The parent laughs, holds them close, and asks for nothing back. Once you know that love, you do not want to lose it for even a moment. Sit with the Sangat and let it fill you, like a string tuned until it hums. At the centre, the Rahao: the One is my help, here and everywhere, too dear for any song to praise.
