Given over to the Word, mind and body turn lush green; the One that greens the world fills the heart with peace.
The Arc
This shabad, in the blended raag Basant Hindol, opens under the full Mool Mantar and repeats the family address bhaai, Siblings of Destiny. It gives itself wholly to the Guru's Word. The rahau makes the keynote an instruction: rest the mind on the Name, and mind and body turn lush green, bearing its fruit. The verses gather the Guru-protected into sweetness and peace, and picture salvation as communal — carried across together in humble company. The close: the One who makes the whole world green fills the joined heart with lasting peace.

Themes and Cross-Connections
The everyone-as-family address (bhaai) foregrounds equality, a caste-leveling note shared with the servant-of-servants ideal (B00C2490). The greening-of-the-world image joins B00C2499's world-as-garden.
For Raag Basant
The Hindol blend brings a swinging, festive lift to Basant; the bhaai refrain makes the whole shabad feel like an invitation called out to a crowd.
Translation Notes
Ha-umai dukh is read as the ache of ego to be healed, not a sin to punish. The full Mool Mantar opener is preserved intact in the source sections; the bhaai address is kept as its inclusive, everyone-is-family voice.
