Raag Maaroo
Commentary

Raag Maaroo, Chau-Padas, Mehl 5 (Guru Arjan)

So full that nothing is missing, and no words can describe it.

The Arc

The saints are full and satisfied, holding the Teacher's word, made great by the Name beyond describing. The Pause: the Beloved is a priceless jewel, the Name ungraspable and immeasurable. A trusting, rested mind becomes gurmukh, sees the One everywhere, and lets pride fall away; their place is unshaken; they stay awake and glad to serve; and, absorbed in natural stillness, they receive the One's whole treasure from the Teacher's hand.

Key Vocabulary

  • Tripat-aaghaa-ay — full and satisfied
  • Agah, atolaa — ungraspable, immeasurable
  • Abhimaan — proud self-regard, which falls away
  • Sahaj samaadhi — natural, effortless stillness

Themes and Cross-Connections

The fullness here answers the earlier hunger-and-thirst images across the raag: the satisfied heart no longer chases, and receives rather than grasps.

For Raag Maaroo

A portrait of arrival — steadiness, wakeful service, and treasure placed, not seized.
