📅 Murli sentence of 18 August 2026
📜 Hindi
सिर्फ बाप को याद करो तो तमोप्रधान से सतोप्रधान बन जायेंगे।
🔤 Transliteration
Sirf bāp ko yād karo to tamopradhān se satopradhān ban jāyeṅge.
💬 Translation
Just remember the Father, and you will become satopradhan from tamopradhan.
More naturally in BK context:
If you remember only the Father, you will move from a tamopradhan state to a satopradhan state.
📚 Vocabulary
- सिर्फ (sirf) — only, solely, just
- बाप (bāp) — father; in BK language: the Father, Baba
- को (ko) — postposition used here with the person who is remembered
- याद करना (yād karnā) — to remember, to keep in remembrance
- तमोप्रधान (tamopradhān) — dominated by tamas; impure, degraded, spiritually dark
- से (se) — from, out of
- सतोप्रधान (satopradhān) — dominated by sattva; completely pure and elevated
- बन जाना (ban jānā) — to become, to be transformed into
- जायेंगे (jāyeṅge) — “will become”; masculine plural future form
🔎 तमोप्रधान → सतोप्रधान
Both words are built with प्रधान (pradhān), meaning “predominant, principal”.
- तमोप्रधान = tamo + pradhān → “with tamas predominating”
- सतोप्रधान = sato + pradhān → “with sattva predominating”
In Murli language, these are not simply equivalents of “bad” and “good”. They describe two opposite states of the soul.
A soul that has become completely impure and depleted is described as तमोप्रधान, whereas a soul restored to its original purity, power and elevated state is सतोप्रधान.
⚙️ ️Grammar
1. बाप को याद करो
The usual construction is:
X को याद करना = “to remember X”
So:
बाप को याद करो
= “Remember the Father.”
करो is the imperative form of करना, very common in the Murlis.
2. X से Y बनना
The structure:
X से Y बनना
means “to become Y from X” or “to move from X to Y”.
Here:
तमोप्रधान से सतोप्रधान बनना
= “to move from tamopradhan to satopradhan.”
So से marks the starting state.
3. करो तो … बन जायेंगे
The structure:
A करो तो B होगा / होंगे
can express:
“If you do A, then B will happen.”
Therefore:
सिर्फ बाप को याद करो तो … बन जायेंगे।
means roughly:
“If you remember only the Father, you will become…”
Hindi does not need to use अगर (agar) “if” here. The presence of तो (to) is enough to convey the condition-result relationship.
🌟 Meaning in the BK context
सिर्फ बाप को याद करो — sirf bāp ko yād karo places the emphasis on याद (yād), remembrance of Baba.
In BK teaching, this remembrance is presented as the means through which the soul is transformed.
The movement तमोप्रधान से सतोप्रधान — tamopradhān se satopradhān therefore describes the whole inner journey: the soul, having gradually become tamopradhan during the cycle, regains its original state of purity through remembrance of the Father.
The sentence can thus be summed up as:
याद → परिवर्तन
yād → parivartan
remembrance → transformation
Here, याद means more than simply thinking about Baba. It implies maintaining the consciousness of the soul and its connection with the Father, through which the soul gradually changes from तमोप्रधान to सतोप्रधान.
