You made both birth and death, so why be afraid of either? The only sword I need is understanding, and the only battle is with my own mind.
The Arc
Some days you feel cut off, like you can't see or hear straight. Wanting and anger sit on you like a scratchy coat. A fire of wanting flares up, and you look in every direction for something to cool it. Here is the turn. The One you are looking for is already home, inside your own heart. Understanding is the only sword you need, and the only fight is with your own restless mind. The One made both birth and death, so you can face either without fear. Sit down inside yourself, and your heart opens like a lotus on a full green pond. At the centre, the opening line: the Beloved is at home in your own heart.

Themes and Cross-Connections
Two keynotes of Maaroo shine here. First, the inner battle: the sword, the thieves, and the struggle are wholly interior, the war being with one's own restless mind, whose victory is calm. Second, comfort before death: birth and death are both the work of the same loving One, so understanding dissolves fear. The soul-bride opening carries no blame; it is an honest account of getting lost and finding the Beloved already at home within.
For Raag Maaroo
This is Maaroo doing its deepest work: taking the battlefield and the deathbed and turning them into the quiet mastery of the mind and the fearless nearing of home.
