• यह — yah: this

🔎 रेस (res)

रेस is a direct borrowing from the English word “race”, adapted to Hindi pronunciation and script as रेस (res).

In English, race first means a contest of speed, but it can also mean a competition to reach a goal or come first.

That second sense is especially important here.

योग और पढ़ाई की रेस
yoga aur paṛhāī kī res
→ literally: “the race of yoga and study”
→ more naturally: “the competition in yoga and study”

⚙️ ️Grammar

1. यह है… — yah hai…

A very simple construction:

यह है X
yah hai X
→ “This is X.”

2. योग और पढ़ाई की रेस

योग और पढ़ाई
yoga aur paṛhāī
→ “yoga and study”

की रेस
kī res
→ “the race / competition of…”

की (kī) agrees with रेस, which is treated here as a feminine noun in Hindi.

3. पढ़ाई — paṛhāī

पढ़ाई comes from:

पढ़ना — paṛhnā
→ to read, to study.

In the Murlis, पढ़ाई (paṛhāī) often means more than simply reading or studying a text. It refers to the spiritual teaching itself, and to understanding, assimilating and practising it.

🌟 Meaning in the BK context

The passage says:

जो जास्ती याद करेंगे वह जल्दी बनेंगे।
jo jāstī yād kareṅge vah jaldī baneṅge.
“Those who remember [the Father] more will become ready / progress more quickly.”

Then:

यह है योग और पढ़ाई की रेस।
yah hai yoga aur paṛhāī kī res.
“This is the race of yoga and study.”

The comparison is then made with school:

स्कूल में भी रेस होती है ना।
skūl meṃ bhī res hotī hai nā.
“There is competition at school too, isn’t there?”

ढेर स्टूडेन्ट्स होते हैं, उनमें से जो नम्बरवन निकलते हैं उनको स्कॉलरशिप मिलती है।
ḍher sṭūḍenṭs hote haiṃ, unameṃ se jo nambarvan nikalte haiṃ unako skŏlarśip miltī hai.
“There are many students; among them, those who come out number one receive a scholarship.”

The image is therefore that of a spiritual race: everyone studies and practises yoga, but those who make greater effort progress more quickly.

The two aspects go together:

योग — yoga: remembrance of the Father, through which the soul is purified and transformed.

पढ़ाई — paṛhāī: studying, understanding and assimilating the spiritual knowledge.

So रेस (res) is not only about speed. As in the English word race from which it is borrowed, it also carries the idea of striving toward a goal, making strong puruṣārtha, and attaining a higher spiritual rank.
