Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਮਾਨੀ ਤੂੰ ਰਾਮ ਕੈ ਦਰਿ ਮਾਨੀ ॥
maanee tooN raam kai dar maanee.
Honored - you shall be honored in the Court of the Lord.
ਸਾਧਸੰਗਿ ਮਿਲਿ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਨ ਗਾਏ ਬਿਨਸੀ ਸਭ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
saaDhsang mil har gun gaa-ay binsee sabh abhimaanee. ||1|| rahaa-o.
Join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord; your egotistical pride will be totally dispelled. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Honored — you will be honored at the One's door.
Join the Sangat and sing the praises of the One, and all your puffed-up pride will melt away.
Honor comes as a gift at the One's door.
You will be welcomed at the One's own door, and pride will melt away.
Maanee means honored. Raam kai dar means at the One's door. The honor here is given, not grabbed. Think of arriving at a friend's home and hearing, "We're so glad you came." You did not have to push your way in.
SaaDhsang mil means joining the Sangat — people gathered together to remember the One. Singing the One's praises there, binsee sabh abhimaanee — all the puffed-up pride fades away.
