When calm settles in the heart, it is always spring inside — green and blooming, whatever the season outside.
The Arc
The eternal-spring shabad. The One heals the sickness and holds the person safe like a small child. Then calm and ease fill the heart forever — sad basant, an unending spring — as one enters a true teacher's shelter and keeps the freeing Name close. Sorrow and the heavy ache are cut away. Anyone who keeps the Name finds every good thing ripening like fruit, and grows steady and deep-rooted. The devotees have found a beautiful way to live: keeping the Giver of peace in mind, day after day.
