Die in the Word and you are done with dying; the merged soul's state is beyond words, no amount of preaching earns acceptance, and wherever the Word lives pain departs — for no wealth is as great as the Name, and it is only ever given.
The Arc
Pauri 0: dying in the Word brings eternal bliss and the end of dying. The Pause (Pauri 1): devotion is both destined and gifted, practiced day and night. Pauri 2: the merged soul's state is beyond description. Pauri 3: the One raises and pulls down in an instant, and talk does not earn acceptance. Pauri 4: the Guru meets those who treasure virtue, and pain departs where the Word abides. Pauri 5: no wealth is as great as the Name, given only by the True One.
Key Vocabulary
jeevat marnaa: dying in the Word, after which "he does not die any more" (philosophy.md)
the ineffable state: union beyond all description
divine agency: "in an instant He establishes and disestablishes" (Hukam)
the Name as supreme wealth: the richest holding, only ever given
Themes and Cross-Connections
The end of dying through jeevat marnaa is the deathlessness of B00C661 and B00C684. "Virtue as treasure" is the gun of B00C699; "no wealth like the Name" restates the supreme-wealth theme of B00C689 and B00C673. The warning against talk (even "hundreds of times") joins B00C675, B00C701, and B00C694. "Pain departs where the Word abides" is a fresh, tender promise within the block.
For Raag Aasaa
Aasaa's hope is named as the one wealth worth having — beyond purchase, beyond words, ending pain wherever it lives. The mood is settled and rich, closing the Panch-Padas on the deepest valuation in the block.
