Spring can live inside you all year. Of all the months, the blessed one is the month your heart holds the One. So let your mind open like a flower. Let go of the proud voice that says me, me, mine. Gather good qualities, the way you gather flowers. Picture your life as a tree. Good deeds are the trunk and the Naam is the branches. Living rightly is the blossom and wisdom is the fruit. When pride falls away, you give cool shade. Use your eyes for wonder, your ears for the Guru's words, your mouth for the True Name. Seasons come and go. Stay close to the One, and you stay green. At the centre, the Rahao: set down your ego and gather the good qualities of the One.
