1176 : 406
Through the Perfect Guru, it is obtained.

1176 : 407
Those who are imbued with the Naam find everlasting peace.

1176 : 408
But without the Naam, mortals burn in egotism. ||3||

1176 : 409
By great good furtune, some contemplate the Lord's Name.

1176 : 410
Through the Lord's Name, all sorrows are eradicated.

1176 : 411
He dwells within the heart, and pervades the external universe as well.

1176 : 412
O Nanak, the Creator Lord knows all. ||4||12||

Basant, Third Mehl, Ik-Tukas:

1176 : 414
I am just a worm, created by You, O Lord.

1176 : 415
If you bless me, then I chant Your Primal Mantra. ||1||

1176 : 416
I chant and reflect on His Glorious Virtues, O my mother.

1176 : 417
Meditating on the Lord, I fall at the Lord's Feet. ||1||Pause||

1176 : 418
By Guru's Grace, I am addicted to the favor of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

1176 : 419
Why waste your life in hatred, vengeance and conflict? ||2||

1176 : 420
When the Guru granted His Grace, my egotism was eradicated,

1176 : 421
and then, I obtained the Lord's Name with intuitive ease. ||3||

1176 : 422
The most lofty and exalted occupation is to contemplate the Word of the Shabad.

1176 : 423
Nanak chants the True Name. ||4||1||13||

1176 : 424

The season of spring has come, and all the plants have blossomed forth.

1176 : 426
This mind blossoms forth, in association with the True Guru. ||1||

1176 : 427
So meditate on the True Lord, O my foolish mind.

1176 : 428
Only then shall you find peace, O my mind. ||1||Pause||

1176 : 429
This mind blossoms forth, and I am in ecstasy.

1176 : 430
I am blessed with the Ambrosial Fruit of the Naam, the Name of the Lord of the Universe. ||2||

1176 : 431
Everyone speaks and says that the Lord is the One and Only.

1176 : 432
By understanding the Hukam of His Command, we come to know the One Lord. ||3||

1176 : 433
Says Nanak, no one can describe the Lord by speaking through ego.

1176 : 434
All speech and insight comes from our Lord and Master. ||4||2||14||

1176 : 435
Basant, Third Mehl:

1176 : 436
All the ages were created by You, O Lord.

1176 : 437
Meeting with the True Guru, one's intellect is awakened. ||1||

1176 : 438
O Dear Lord, please blend me with Yourself;

1176 : 439
let me merge in the True Name, through the Word of the Guru's Shabad. ||1||Pause||

1176 : 440
When the mind is in spring, all people are rejuvenated.

1176 : 441
Blossoming forth and flowering through the Lord's Name, peace is obtained. ||2||

1176 : 442
Contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad, one is in spring forever,

1176 : 443
with the Lord's Name enshrined in the heart. ||3||

1176 : 444
When the mind is in spring, the body and mind are rejuvenated.

1176 : 445
O Nanak, this body is the tree which bears the fruit of the Lord's Name. ||4||3||15||

1176 : 446
Basant, Third Mehl:

1176 : 447
They alone are in the spring season, who sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord.

1176 : 448
They come to worship the Lord with devotion, through their perfect destiny. ||1||

1176 : 449
This mind is not even touched by spring.

1176 : 450
This mind is burnt by duality and double-mindedness. ||1||Pause||

1176 : 451
This mind is entangled in worldly affairs, creating more and more karma.

1176 : 452
Enchanted by Maya, it cries out in suffering forever. ||2||

1176 : 453
This mind is released, only when it meets with the True Guru.

1176 : 454
Then, it does not suffer beatings by the Messenger of Death. ||3||

1176 : 455
This mind is released, when the Guru emancipates it.

1176 : 456
O Nanak, attachment to Maya is burnt away through the Word of the Shabad. ||4||4||16||

1176 : 457
Basant, Third Mehl:

1176 : 458
Spring has come, and all the plants are flowering.

1176 : 459
These beings and creatures blossom forth when they focus their consciousness on the Lord. ||1||
