💬 Translation

📚 Vocabulary

• मूल (mūl): root, foundation, basic, essential.
• बात (bāt): matter, point, thing, statement.
• है (hai): is (copula, 3rd person singular).
• पवित्र (pavitra): pure, sacred.
• रहना (rahnā): to stay, to remain, to continue being.

⚙️Grammar

1. Regular order with the copula
   1. Subject – Attribute – Verb.
   2. Example: यह अच्छा है (yah acchā hai) = “This is good.”
   3. Neutral version: मूल बात पवित्र रहना है।
      → “The essential point is to remain pure.”
2. Emphatic order in our phrase
   1. Subject – Verb – Attribute.
   2. मूल बात है पवित्र रहना।
      → “To remain pure — that is the essential point.”
   3. By placing है before the attribute, Hindi highlights what follows.
3. Infinitive as a noun
   1. रहना (to remain) is an infinitive functioning as a verbal noun.
   2. So पवित्र रहना = “the act of remaining pure.”

🪔 Spiritual / Cultural Meaning

• पवित्र (pavitra): not just physical cleanliness but inner purity — purity of thought, intention, heart, often associated with celibacy and mastery over desires.
• रहना (rahnā): stresses continuity, not a temporary state.
• In Indian spirituality (and especially in BK thought), purity is the root principle: without it, spiritual progress is impossible.

✅ In summary

• Neutral: “The essential point is to remain pure.”
• Emphatic: “To remain pure — that is the essential point.”
  The emphatic form better mirrors the stylistic choice in Hindi.
