⚙️ ️Grammar
तुम बच्चों को (tum bacchoṃ ko)
This means “to you children.”
बच्चों (bacchoṃ) is the oblique plural form of बच्चे (bacce), “children,” used before the postposition को (ko), “to.”
कहता हूँ (kahtā hū̃)
This form comes from कहना (kahnā), “to say” or “to tell.”
The subject मैं (maiṃ), “I,” is understood:
मैं तुम बच्चों को कहता हूँ।
maiṃ tum bacchoṃ ko kahtā hū̃.
“I tell you children.”
बनो (bano)
This is the imperative form of बनना (bannā), “to become.”
Here it has a direct but affectionate tone: “become” or “be.”
Meaning of आत्म-अभिमानी (ātma-abhimānī)
In ordinary Hindi, अभिमानी (abhimānī) can mean “proud” or “arrogant.” However, in BK vocabulary, आत्म-अभिमानी (ātma-abhimānī) does not mean “proud of the soul.”
It means:
- aware of oneself as a soul;
- established in soul-consciousness;
- identified with the soul rather than with the body.
The expression is contrasted with:
देह-अभिमानी (deha-abhimānī): body-conscious, identified with the body.
The underlying awareness is:
मैं आत्मा हूँ।
maiṃ ātmā hū̃.
“I am a soul.”
Nuance of the sentence
अब फिर (ab phir), “now, once again,” shows that this teaching is being repeated. The Father reminds the children to return continually to soul-consciousness.
