⚙️ Grammar
1. काँटों का फॉरेस्ट — “a forest of thorns”
The noun काँटा (kāṇṭā) means “thorn.”
Its forms are:
- काँटा = a thorn
- काँटे = thorns
- काँटों = thorns (oblique plural form)
Because it is followed by का, the oblique form is used:
काँटों का फॉरेस्ट
→ “a forest of thorns”
2. English Loanword
The Murli often uses English words written in Devanagari:
- फॉरेस्ट = forest
- कॉलेज = college
- ब्राइडग्रूम = bridegroom
- गुडमार्निंग = good morning
Here, फॉरेस्ट is used instead of the Hindi word जंगल (jaṅgal).
🌟 BK Spiritual Meaning
In this sentence, “forest of thorns” is a metaphor.
A thorn pricks and causes pain. In the same way, in the Iron Age (Kaliyug), human beings, influenced by the vices (vikārs), cause suffering to one another through:
- anger,
- attachment,
- ego,
- jealousy,
- lust and greed.
The next sentence in the context explains:
एक दो को काँटा लगाते रहते हैं ।
“They keep pricking one another.”
So Baba is not referring to a literal forest. He is describing a world in which human relationships have become sources of sorrow and conflict.
The Murli often contrasts:
🌵 Kaliyug = a forest of thorns (काँटों का फॉरेस्ट)
🌹 Satyug = a garden of flowers (फूलों का बगीचा)
This is why Baba immediately says:
अब बाप कहते हैं - श्रीमत पर चलो ।
“Now the Father says: follow Shrimat.”
By following Shrimat (God's elevated directions), souls can transform from thorns—those who give pain—to flowers—those who give happiness, peace, and love. 🌹
