The Arc
Pauri 0: the teaching makes one whole, and the One is seen brimming everywhere; the heart offers itself. Rahau (Pauri 1): with the teaching held in the heart, not even the tiniest obstacle stops the way. Pauri 2: among the good-hearted, muddled and unkind thinking clears, washed as in a sacred pool. Pauri 3: sing daily and remember together, and the wished-for fruit ripens. Pauri 4: the teaching is full of bliss, and holding the Name one lives in unbroken gladness, for the One keeps to His loving nature.
