The One is the spring itself, and the whole world is its garden.
The Arc
Spring has come, and the plants are bursting into flower. You bloom the same way when you turn your mind to the One. Repeat the Naam day and night. It rinses the "me first" feeling out of you, and your mind turns fresh and green. The Guru's Word works like spring warmth on cold ground. Wherever that love reaches, the world greens. Flowers and fruit come when the One sends them. Through the Guru, you hold on to the Root of everything. The One is the spring itself. The whole world is the One's garden, and you are growing in it. At the centre, the Rahao: remember the Naam day and night, and your mind turns green again.
