⚙️ Grammar

1️⃣ संन्यासी आदि

संन्यासी आदि
saṃnyāsī ādi

The word आदि (ādi) literally means “and what follows,” or “etc.”

So:

संन्यासी आदि
= “sannyāsīs and others.”

2️⃣ जिस्मानी योग

जिस्म (jism) = body
This word comes from Persian/Urdu.

जिस्मानी (jismānī) = bodily, physical.

Therefore:

जिस्मानी योग
jismānī yog
= “bodily yoga.”

In BK terminology, however, it usually means:

👉 a yoga based on body-consciousness.

BK language often contrasts:

Thus jismānī yog (जिस्मानी योग) refers to yoga that does not arise from ātma-abhimān (आत्म-अभिमान).

3️⃣ सिखलाते हैं

सिखलाना (sikhalānā)
to teach, to make someone learn.

It is a variant of:

सिखाना (sikhānā).

Here the form:

सिखलाते हैं
sikhalāte haiṃ
means “they teach.”

4️⃣ कि

कि (ki) introduces a subordinate clause.

Structure:

सिखलाते हैं कि…
sikhalāte haiṃ ki…
“They teach that…”

5️⃣ ब्रह्म से योग लगाओ

A very common spiritual expression.

योग लगाना
yog lagānā
= to establish a spiritual connection.

Structure:

X से योग लगाना
X se yog lagānā
= to connect one’s yoga with X.

So:

ब्रह्म से योग लगाओ
brahma se yog lagāo
= “connect your yoga with Brahm.”

6️⃣ Imperative लगाओ

लगाओ (lagāo) is the imperative of:

लगाना (lagānā) — to apply, attach, establish.

Thus:

योग लगाओ
yog lagāo
= “connect (your yoga).”

This expresses the instruction attributed to the sannyāsīs.

🧩 Meaning in Context

The following lines explain the intended meaning:

वह तो रांग हो जाता है
vah to rāṅg ho jātā hai
“That becomes wrong.”

ब्रह्म तत्व तो रहने का स्थान है
brahma tattva to rahne kā sthān hai
“Brahm-tattva is a place of residence.”

वह कोई सुप्रीम रूह नहीं ठहरा
vah koī suprīm rūh nahīṃ ṭhahrā
“It is not a Supreme Soul.”

So the argument is:

➡️ some ascetics teach brahma se yog lagāo (ब्रह्म से योग लगाओ) — “connect your yoga with Brahm,”
but the text says brahma-tattva (ब्रह्म तत्व) is only an element or location, not the Supreme Being.

🌱 Conceptual Point: Brahman, Brahmā, and Brahm-tattva

Understanding the sentence requires distinguishing three related terms.

Brahman — ब्रह्मन्

brahman

In Vedānta philosophy:

A famous Upaniṣadic declaration:

अहं ब्रह्मास्मि
ahaṃ brahmāsmi
“I am Brahman.”

Brahmā — ब्रह्मा

brahmā

A deity in the Trimūrti:

This is a personal god, distinct from brahman.

Brahm-tattva — ब्रह्म तत्व

brahma tattva

तत्व (tattva) means:

Thus:

ब्रह्म तत्व
brahma tattva
= “the element of Brahm.”

In BK terminology it refers to:

👉 a subtle element or region where souls reside.

🌍 Why Sannyāsīs Speak of Brahman

In Advaita Vedānta, the idea is that:

are ultimately identical.

The spiritual goal is therefore:

ब्रह्म साक्षात्कार
brahma sākṣātkār
“realization of Brahman.”

Thus ascetics may speak of:

ब्रह्म से एक होना
brahma se ek honā
“becoming one with Brahman.”

🌿 Why the Phrase Says “जिस्मानी योग”

In BK terminology there is often a contrast between:
Expression Meaning
जिस्मानी योग (jismānī yog) bodily yoga
रूहानी योग (rūhānī yog) spiritual yoga

रूह (rūh) means “soul.”

Thus:

रूहानी योग
rūhānī yog
= spiritual yoga.

According to BK interpretation:

Therefore such meditation is described as:

जिस्मानी योग (jismānī yog)
“bodily yoga.”

✅ Summary

The sentence:

संन्यासी आदि जिस्मानी योग सिखलाते हैं कि ब्रह्म से योग लगाओ
saṃnyāsī ādi jismānī yog sikhalāte haiṃ ki brahma se yog lagāo

means:

👉 “Sannyāsīs and others teach a bodily yoga, saying: ‘Connect your yoga with Brahm.’”

In the context, this idea is criticized because brahma-tattva (ब्रह्म तत्व) is described as an element or place, not as the Supreme Soul.
