Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

O my mind, this is the season to plant the seed of the Naam.

Plant this crop with your whole mind. This is the good time; make it your purpose.

Now is a good time to plant what you want to grow.
The deeper layer

Now is the sowing season. The cultivating here is inner attention (laa-ay manoo-aa) — tending the field of the heart.

A Question to Sit With

What seed would you like to plant in your heart today?
