📚 Vocabulary
| Word | Literal Meaning | Explanation |
| भक्ति (bhakti) | devotion, worship | Loving remembrance or adoration of God. |
| भी (bhī) | also, even | Emphasizes inclusion — “even bhakti…” |
| पहले (pahale) | first, at first | Indicates time sequence. |
| अव्यभिचारी (avyabhicārī) | faithful, exclusive | From a- (not) + vyabhicārī (unfaithful). “Not deviating, pure.” |
| फिर (phir) | then, afterwards | Marks succession. |
| व्यभिचारी (vyabhicārī) | unfaithful, impure, adulterated | From vyabhicāra — deviation, corruption, mixing of several objects of love or worship. |
⚙️ ️Grammar
- The sentence omits the verb “to be”:
→ भक्ति भी पहले अव्यभिचारी [थी], फिर व्यभिचारी [हो गयी]
→ “Bhakti was first pure, then it became corrupted.” - अव्यभिचारी uses the privative prefix a- (“not”), making it the opposite of vyabhicārī.
- Both adjectives describe a progressive degeneration over time — from unity to multiplicity.
🌼 Spiritual Meaning (BK Context)
- Avyabhicārī bhakti = single-minded devotion directed to one God, pure remembrance of the Supreme Father.
- Vyabhicārī bhakti = mixed devotion, directed toward many deities and forms, losing its original purity and focus.
This marks the transition from true monotheistic love to ritualistic and divided worship.
💬 Interpretation
Even devotion itself began as pure, unwavering love for the One Supreme.
With time, it became divided — mixed with the worship of many forms and symbols.
