Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
As the season is, so is the body's comfort, and so is the body itself.
Nanak says: the beautiful season is the one with the Naam. Without the Naam, what kind of season is that?
Every season has its own feel, and the season with the Naam is the beautiful one.
The seasons are the picture Raag Malaar is known for. Malaar is the raag of the rainy season. Jayhee rut kaa-i-aa sukh means as the season is, so is the body's comfort. A hot day makes you tired. A cool, rainy day makes you feel fresh.
Then Guru Nanak turns the picture inward. Bin naavai rut kayhee means, "Without the Name, what season is it?" The weather inside the heart matters more than the sky. With the Name, any season is a beautiful one.
What is the weather like inside you today, and what changes it?
