🧩 Sentence-by-sentence explanation

1. काया कल्पतरू कहा जाता है

Kāyā kalpatarū kahā jātā hai

Word by word:

काया — kāyā = body
कल्पतरू — kalpatarū = wish-fulfilling tree
कहा जाता है — kahā jātā hai = is called / is said

👉 “It is called kāyā kalpatarū.”
More naturally:
👉 “The body is called a kalpataru, a wish-fulfilling tree.”

Here, kalpatarū is not a literal physical tree. It is an image of perfection, abundance, and fulfilment.

2. काया कल्प वृक्ष समान बनती है

Kāyā kalpa vṛkṣa samān bantī hai

Word by word:

काया — kāyā = body
कल्प वृक्ष — kalpa vṛkṣa = wish-fulfilling tree / celestial tree
समान — samān = similar to, like
बनती है — bantī hai = becomes

👉 “The body becomes like a kalpa-vṛkṣa.”

In the BK context, this means that the body becomes pure, healthy, balanced, beautiful, and durable in the new world.

3. आयु भी बड़ी रहती है

Āyu bhī baṛī rahtī hai

Word by word:

आयु — āyu = lifespan
भी — bhī = also
बड़ी — baṛī = great, large
रहती है — rahtī hai = remains, continues to be

👉 “The lifespan also remains long.”

The word भी — bhī, “also”, shows that long life is one of the results of this bodily transformation.

🧠 Grammar points

1. कहा जाता है — kahā jātā hai

This is a passive / impersonal construction.

कहा जाता है — kahā jātā hai
= “is said”, “is called”, “one calls it”.

So:

काया कल्पतरू कहा जाता है — kāyā kalpatarū kahā jātā hai
= “It is called kāyā kalpatarū.”

In fluent English, we can translate it as:

👉 “It is called…”
or
👉 “This is known as…”

2. समान — samān

समान — samān means “similar to” or “like”.

In Hindi, it often comes after the noun of comparison:

वृक्ष समान — vṛkṣa samān
= “like a tree”.

कल्प वृक्ष समान — kalpa vṛkṣa samān
= “like the kalpa-vṛkṣa.”

3. बनती है — bantī hai

बनती है — bantī hai is feminine singular because काया — kāyā is feminine.

काया बनती है — kāyā bantī hai
= “the body becomes.”

Even though “body” is not grammatically feminine in English, kāyā is feminine in Hindi, so the verb uses the feminine form bantī.

4. रहती है — rahtī hai

In:

आयु भी बड़ी रहती है — āyu bhī baṛī rahtī hai

रहती है — rahtī hai expresses a continuing or stable state.

Compare:

आयु बड़ी है — āyu baṛī hai
= “the lifespan is long.”

आयु बड़ी रहती है — āyu baṛī rahtī hai
= “the lifespan remains long / continues to be long.”

So the sentence suggests a stable condition in the new world, not a temporary state.

🌿 Usual meaning and BK meaning

Usual Indian meaning

कल्पतरू — kalpatarū or कल्पवृक्ष — kalpavṛkṣa is a celestial wish-fulfilling tree in Indian religious and mythological imagery.

It represents abundance, divine fulfilment, and perfection.

काया कल्प — kāyā kalpa can also mean bodily transformation, rejuvenation, or regeneration.

BK meaning

In this passage, the expression is applied to the body in the pure new world, the Golden Age.

The idea is:

👉 the body becomes pure and perfect;
👉 it is free from disease and weakness;
👉 life is long;
👉 premature death does not happen;
👉 death no longer “devours” people as it does in the present world.

The surrounding context confirms this:

यहाँ तो आयु बहुत छोटी रहती है — yahā̃ to āyu bahut choṭī rahtī hai
= “Here, the lifespan remains very short.”

अभी तुम काल पर विजय पाते हो — abhī tum kāl par vijay pāte ho
= “Now you gain victory over death / time.”

वहाँ काल कभी खाता नहीं — vahā̃ kāl kabhī khātā nahī̃
= “There, death never devours.”

✨ Simple reformulation

👉 In the Golden Age, the body becomes like a kalpa-vṛkṣa — a wonderful wish-fulfilling tree: pure, healthy, perfect, and durable. The lifespan there remains long.
