📅 Hindi Lesson – Murli of 17 September 2026

📅 Murli sentence of 17 September 2026

📜 Hindi

तुमको अपने पर कृपा करनी है।

🔤 Transliteration

tumko apne par kṛpā karnī hai.

💬 Translation

You have to show grace to yourself.

More naturally in the context of the Murli:

You have to act for your own good.

Here, Baba clearly contrasts the कृपा (kṛpā) that one might expect from God with each person's own responsibility.

📚 Vocabulary

• तुमको (tumko) — to you / you have to
• अपने (apne) — oneself / one’s own
• पर (par) — on / towards
• कृपा (kṛpā) — grace, favour, kindness, mercy
• करनी है (karnī hai) — has to be done / you have to do

Literally:

तुमको अपने पर कृपा करनी है।

tumko apne par kṛpā karnī hai.

→ “You have to show grace towards yourself.”

⚙️ ️Grammar

1. तुमको … करनी है — tumko … karnī hai

The construction:

[person] + को + infinitive form + है

can express obligation or something that a person has to do.

Here:

तुमको … करनी है
tumko … karnī hai
→ “you have to …”

करनी (karnī) is feminine because it agrees with कृपा (kṛpā), which is feminine.

2. अपने पर — apne par

अपने (apne) is the oblique form of अपना (apnā), used here before the postposition पर (par).

अपने पर
apne par
→ literally, “on oneself”
→ more naturally, “towards oneself”

Because the implied subject is तुम (tum), अपने (apne) refers back to that same person: “yourself.”

3. कृपा करना — kṛpā karnā

This is a common expression:

किसी पर कृपा करना
kisī par kṛpā karnā
→ to show grace or favour to someone.

For example:

भगवान की कृपा
bhagavān kī kṛpā
→ “God’s grace.”

But Baba deliberately turns the expression around here:

अपने पर कृपा करनी है
apne par kṛpā karnī hai
→ it is not God who has to grant you grace; you have to act for your own benefit.

🌟 Meaning in the BK context

The passage emphasizes the difference between भक्ति मार्ग (bhakti mārg), the path of devotion, and ज्ञान मार्ग (gyān mārg), the path of knowledge.

On the path of devotion, someone may think:

बाबा आपकी कृपा होगी तो हम आपको कभी नहीं भूलेंगे।
bābā āpkī kṛpā hogī to ham āpko kabhī nahī̃ bhūleṅge.
→ “Baba, if we receive Your grace, then we will never forget You.”

But Baba replies:

हम कभी कृपा आदि नहीं करते।
ham kabhī kṛpā ādi nahī̃ karte.
→ “I do not grant this kind of grace.”

Then comes the key sentence:

तुमको अपने पर कृपा करनी है।
tumko apne par kṛpā karnī hai.

The idea is therefore: do not wait for a special divine intervention. Knowledge is a पढ़ाई (paṛhāī) — a study — and each person has to make their own effort.

The following sentence explains how one “shows grace to oneself”:

बाप को याद करेंगे तो विकर्म विनाश होंगे।
bāp ko yād kareṅge to vikarm vināś hoṅge.
→ “If you remember the Father, your negative actions will be destroyed.”

So, in this context, अपने पर कृपा करना (apne par kṛpā karnā) means above all:

to benefit oneself through one’s own पुरुषार्थ (puruṣārth), especially by remembering the Father, rather than expecting the Father to do the effort in one’s place.
