⚙️ ️Grammar

1. आत्मा को … बनना है

The construction:

X को + adjective/noun + बनना है

expresses necessity or something that must happen:

आत्मा को पावन बनना है।
The soul has to become pure.

Literally, it means: “For the soul, it is necessary to become pure.”

2. The emphasis of ही

In आत्मा को ही, the particle ही emphasizes आत्मा:

It is the soul itself that has to become pure.

The sentence therefore stresses that spiritual purification concerns the soul, not merely the body.

3. ज्ञान और योग से

The postposition से — se indicates the means or method:

• ज्ञान से — jñān se: through knowledge
• योग से — yog se: through yoga or remembrance

The two means are joined by और — aur, “and.”

4. न कि पानी से

न कि — na ki introduces an explicit contrast:

through knowledge and yoga, not through water

The sentence contrasts two possible means:

• ज्ञान और योग से: through knowledge and yoga
• पानी से: through water

Meaning in the BK context

The sentence contrasts spiritual purification with physical or ritual cleansing. Water may clean the body, but it cannot transform the soul’s संस्कार — saṃskār, its deep tendencies and impressions.

In BK teachings:

• ज्ञान — gyaan gives the soul the knowledge of its true identity;
• योग — yog means conscious remembrance of Shiv Baba;
• through knowledge and remembrance, the soul gradually changes from तमोप्रधान — tamopradhān, an impure and degraded state, into सतोप्रधान — satopradhān, a completely pure state.

The central idea is:

It is not the body that has to be purified with water; it is the soul that has to be transformed through knowledge and remembrance.
