The Arc
Marked by the binvant naanak (Nanak prays) refrain, this chhant moves through wakefulness and healing: awake in love, tangles coming right (P0); the beautiful unstruck music of singing the One (P1); doubt cleared so that wherever one looks, there is the One (P2); and the fever of ego cooling as the long-separated heart meets the One at last (P3).
