Royalty and union alike flow from the Name; understood, the Will becomes joy — and the one who recognizes the One is both householder and renunciate at once, his storehouse overflowing.
The Arc
Pauri 0: the pleasures of royalty and the attainment of union both come from the Name. The Pause (Pauri 1): all comforts in Your shelter; the Guru lifts the veil of doubt. Pauri 2: understanding the Will brings joy and Nirvana. Pauri 3: recognizing the One, you are both householder and renunciate. Pauri 4: the treasure of the Name overflows.
Key Vocabulary
royalty and yoga from the Name: worldly and spiritual prizes from one source
the Will understood = joy: Hukam not endured but delighted in (cf. B00C694)
householder and renunciate at once: no need to choose (Grihast)
the overflowing storehouse: the Name as more-than-enough abundance
Themes and Cross-Connections
The crowning teaching — householder and renunciate at once — is the heart of Grihast (philosophy.md): you reach Nirvana within ordinary life, no need to renounce the world. "The Will understood = joy" is the sweet Hukam of B00C694 and B00C745. The overflowing treasure restates the inexhaustible Name of B00C743.
For Raag Aasaa
Aasaa's hope dissolves the false choice between the world and the spirit: recognize the One, and you are fully both, lacking nothing. The mood is expansive and glad — a storehouse that overflows.
