Maya overran the heavens — but bows before the company of the good.
The Arc
Maya overran even Brahma's, Shiva's, and Indra's realms, yet cannot touch the Saadh Sangat, where she washes their feet (P0). The Pause line is a survivor's relief — saved from the fire by being warned in time (P1). And the close reduces the all-conquering glitter to one servant among the One's millions (P2).
Key Vocabulary
Saadh Sangat — the company of the good, the one place Maya halts (P0).
"awful fire... cautioned me" — rescue that begins with a loving warning (P1).
"millions of slaves like her" — Maya as one employee in the One's household (P2).
Themes and Cross-Connections
This is a companion to B00C1052 — the Maya-turns-servant reversal, here staged as an invasion of the heavens halted at the Sangat. "Safety is in company, not status" (P0) is the block's steady social ethic. "Warned in time" (P1) honors the teaching's protective role.
For Raag Goojaree
The raag's most vivid Maya-shabad: the glitter conquers everywhere but the humble company of the remembering — and even her power is only borrowed from the One she ultimately serves.
