By grace the spring arrived, and a deep thirst was answered.
The Arc
Sometimes you feel a thirst deep inside, in your mind and your body. The kind Guru answers it. In the Sangat, the old wrongs are cut away, and you fall in love with the Naam. That is spring arriving inside you, by grace. Keep the One close in your heart and listen to the One's praise. The One is behind everything that happens. When you feel you have no one, come to the One for shelter. Every creature leans on the One. The One breaks fear, ends pain and feeds every living thing. One kind glance, and you live by the Naam. At the centre, the Rahao: by the Guru's grace, spring comes into your heart.
