When calm settles in the heart, it is always spring inside — green and blooming, whatever the season outside.
The Arc
Sometimes you feel sick or worn down. The One takes the sickness away and rests a hand on you, the way a parent does for a child. Then peace moves into your heart and stays. Outside, the seasons change. Inside, it is always spring. You come to the Guru for shelter, and the Naam sets you free. Sorrow and heavy trouble get cut away. You keep the Guru in mind every day. Keep the One's Name, and good things ripen like fruit. You grow steady, like a tree with deep roots. People who love the One live this way. Every day, they remember the Giver of peace. At the centre, the Rahao: with the Naam inside, peace fills your heart and it is always spring.
