Sing, O singer, of the One who supports your very breath — His gifts never run out, His kindness is never erased, His servants never suffer, and He is never far, wherever you go.
The Arc
Pauri 0: sing of the One, support of soul, body, and breath; serve Him and go to no other. The Pause/verse (Pauri 1): the Blissful Master's gifts never run out, His kindness never erased — enshrine Him. Pauri 2: His house filled with every good thing, His servants painless; holding His support, fearless dignity, singing with every breath. Pauri 3: He is never far, wherever we go; found by mercy.
Key Vocabulary
the singer addressed: sing of the One who supports the breath itself
gifts never exhausted: the inexhaustible Giver, His kindness never erased (cf. B00C743)
fearless dignity: the unshakable poise of one who knows he is held (Nirbhau)
"not far wherever we go": the One always already there (nearer than near)
Themes and Cross-Connections
"His gifts never run out, His kindness never erased" is the inexhaustible Giver (B00C743, B00C824). "Fearless dignity" is Nirbhau — poise, not arrogance. "He is not far wherever we go" is the nearer-than-near immanence (B00C676, B00C822). The address to the singer makes praise the keynote.
For Raag Aasaa
Aasaa's hope is a One who supports your very breath, never runs out, and is never far. The mood is warm and reassuring — a song to the singer about the One who is always already here.
