The spring season represents happiness through blooming, taking it as a symbol, Second Nanak tells the followers to keep the memory of the universal Creator in their minds to remain in a state of mind in which the mind stays calm in happiness. The following 2 slokas of the Guru explain this; these slokas are on SGGS 791
ਮਹਲਾ 2 ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਤਿਨਾ ਬਸੰਤੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਘਰਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਕੰਤੁ ॥
ਜਿਨ ਕੇ ਕੰਤ ਦਿਸਾਪੁਰੀ ਸੇ ਅਹਿਨਿਸਿ ਫਿਰਹਿ ਜਲੰਤ ॥2॥
Mėhlā 2. Nānak ṯinā basanṯ hai jinĥ gẖar vasiā kanṯ.
Jin ke kanṯ ḏisāpurī se ahinis firėh jalanṯ. ||2||9 (791)
Slok of Second Nanak.
In essence: Oh Nanak! Those persons, in whose hearts dwells their Spouse, Prabh, are enjoying the spring. Those ones whose spouse (Prabh) is far away burn day and night.
The presence of the Creator within, elevates one’s mind, and one understands that everything is in His Ordinance. The one who doesn’t keep His memory within gets hurts with the Maya influences.
In the following slok, the Guru suggests the followers further:
ਮਃ 2 ॥ ਪਹਿਲ ਬਸੰਤੈ ਆਗਮਨਿ ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਕਰਹੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥
ਨਾਨਕ ਸੋ ਸਾਲਾਹੀਐ ਜਿ ਸਭਸੈ ਦੇ ਆਧਾਰੁ ॥2॥
Mėhlā 2. Pahil basanṯai āgman ṯis kā karahu bīcẖār.
Nānak so salāhī-ai jė sabẖsai ḏe āḏẖār. ||2|| (791 )
Slok of Second Nanak.
In essence: Akalpurakh, who has been here before the spring, reflect on Him. Oh Nanak! Akalpurakh who makes blossom all should be praised.
Now the Guru reminds that the Creator who was here before the spring should be remembered and praised. It is He who is source of all and it is He who makes the nature bloom for your happiness.
Wishes.
