📅 Murli sentence of 19 January 2026

📜 Hindi

गाया भी जाता है , गुरू माता।

🔤 Transliteration

gāyā bhī jātā hai, guru mātā.

💬 Translation

“It is also sung: ‘guru-mother’.”

Or, slightly expanded:

“The figure of the guru-mother is also sung about in tradition.”

📚 Vocabulary

• गाया (gāyā) – sung, celebrated, transmitted orally
• भी (bhī) – also
• जाता है (jātā hai) – is said, is transmitted (impersonal passive form)
• गुरू (guru) – spiritual guide, teacher
• माता (mātā) – mother, nurturing principle

⚙️ Grammar

गुरू माता (guru mātā) is a nominal expression, not a full sentence.
There is no verb “to be” in the Hindi text.

It functions as:

• a title
• a spiritual designation
• a traditional expression

Not as a logical statement such as “the mother is the guru.”

🌺 Meaning of guru-mātā in nirguṇ bhakti

In nirguṇ bhakti:

• devotion is directed toward the formless
• language is poetic and sung, not analytical
• expressions are symbolic and experiential

Here, guru-mātā refers to:

• spiritual guidance (guru)
• experienced with maternal care and compassion (mātā)

It is not a historical person or a doctrinal definition, but a devotional image, preserved through chanting.

That is why the sentence begins with:

गाया भी जाता है
“It is also sung…”

🔑 Meaning in the context of spiritual knowledge (BK understanding)

In the context of knowledge:

• what is sung is explained
• symbols are given a functional meaning

Here, guru-mātā refers to:

• the motherly instrument
• through whom spiritual knowledge is transmitted
• especially because the Supreme Teacher is incorporeal

Thus, the maternal role becomes a teaching role, not symbolically but functionally.

👑 Link with the following contextual sentence

जगत अम्बा ही फिर राज-राजेश्वरी बनती है ।

The one who plays the role of guru-mātā,
after fulfilling that spiritual function,
becomes a sovereign, as a result of that role in the spiritual drama.

🧠 Summary

• गाया भी जाता है – a traditional, sung expression
• गुरू माता – a devotional figure in bhakti
• In knowledge, this figure is understood and explained
• What is sung becomes known
