You do not fight the heavy things — you set them down and pick up love instead.
The Arc
The rahau names the practice and its fruit: remembering the Name frees the life, dissolves fear, and grows love for good company. The first stanza turns the mind and voice toward the One and lays down the load — pride, craving, anger, the habit of running others down — letting love fill the emptied space. The close crowns it with radical humility: become the dust of all, thinking yourself no higher than anyone, and melt into the seeing of the One.
