Raag Maaroo
Commentary

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

Let go of the self, and the fever departs.

The Arc

Renounce self-conceit and the fever cools; become low like the dust at good people's feet, and the Name comes to the heart as grace gives it. The Pause: drink the Name's nectar, set aside thin tastes, and come alive with a life that does not run out. One savors the single sweetness of the Name and makes the One friend, companion and family all at once.

Key Vocabulary

  • Taap — the fever (of ego), which departs
  • Ren saadhoo — the dust of the feet of the holy — humility
  • Amrit — the nectar of the Name
  • Meet, saajan, sakhaa, bandhap — friend, companion, comrade, kin — all in the One

Themes and Cross-Connections

The fever-that-departs is a healing image at home in Maaroo, whose Todee-neighbor tunes medicine for the anxious mind; the One-as-every-relation echoes Jaitsree's One True Friend.

For Raag Maaroo

Healing and companionship in a single breath — the self released, the One drawn near.
