ਜਿਸ ਨੋ ਮੰਨੇ ਆਪਿ ਸੋਈ ਮਾਨੀਐ ॥
jis no mannay aap so-ee maanee-ai.
Those whom You approve, are approved.
ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ਸਭ ਠਾਈ ਜਾਨੀਐ ॥੩॥
pargat purakh parvaan sabh thaa-ee jaanee-ai. ||3||
Such a celebrated and honored person is known everywhere. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Those whom You approve are approved;
such an honored one is known everywhere.
The only approval that finally matters is the One's — and from it true honor radiates.
The only approval that matters: "those whom You approve, are approved." Not the world's recognition but the One's — and the soul the One approves becomes "known everywhere," honored truly. Real honor is conferred from above, then radiates outward (cf. Shabad 86).
A Question to Sit With
Whose approval are you seeking, and whose actually lasts?
