Salok Vaaraan Te Vadheek (Mehl 3), Salok 92 — your own springtime
ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਸੈ ਬਸੰਤੁ ਹੈ ਜਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਸੇਵਿ ਸਮਾਇ ॥
naanak tisai basant hai je satgur sayv samaa-ay.
O Nanak, the season of spring comes to one who serves the True Guru.
ਹਰਿ ਵੁਠਾ ਮਨੁ ਤਨੁ ਸਭੁ ਪਰਫੜੈ ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਹਰੀਆਵਲੁ ਹੋਇ ॥੫੯॥
har vuthaa man tan sabh parfarhai sabh jag haree-aaval ho-ay. ||59||
The Lord rains His Mercy down upon him, and his mind and body totally blossom forth; the entire world becomes green and rejuvenated. ||59||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Nanak says: spring comes to the one who serves the True Guru and melts into the One.
When the One's kindness rains down, mind and body bloom completely, and the whole world turns green and new.
Serve the True Guru, and spring comes: mind and body bloom.
Serving the True Guru brings a springtime inside, and then the whole world looks green.
Basant, spring, comes back across these saloks as a picture of inner renewal: the heart turns green when grace waters it. Sabh jag haree-aaval ho-ay: the whole world turns green — the outer greening follows the inner one.
