🔤 Transliteration

saṅkalp vyarth na jāye, samay vyarth na jāye.

💬 Translation

Let no thought be wasted, and let no moment of time be wasted.

📚 Vocabulary

संकल्प — saṅkalpa
→ thought, intention, resolve, determination.

In BK vocabulary, संकल्प — saṅkalpa very often means a thought, that is, a movement or creation of the mind.

व्यर्थ — vyartha
→ useless, futile, vain, wasted.

व्यर्थ संकल्प — vyartha saṅkalpa
→ wasteful thought, useless thought, futile thought.

न — na
→ not.

जाये — jāye
→ may go, should go; a form of जाना — jānā, “to go”.

समय — samaya
→ time.

So:

संकल्प व्यर्थ न जाये।
saṅkalpa vyartha na jāye.
→ “Let no thought be wasted.”

समय व्यर्थ न जाये।

samaya vyartha na jāye.

→ “Let no time be wasted.”

⚙️ ️Grammar

1. न जाये — na jāye

The verb is:

जाना — jānā
→ to go.

जाये — jāye is here a subjunctive form.

With न — na, it expresses something that should not happen:

न जाये — na jāye
→ “may it not go,” “let it not go.”

In:

समय व्यर्थ न जाये।
samaya vyartha na jāye.

the literal sense is:

“May time not go in vain.”

In natural English:

“Let no time be wasted.”

So this is not simply a statement of fact. It expresses an instruction, wish, or resolution: one should make sure that time is not wasted.

2. व्यर्थ जाना — vyartha jānā

व्यर्थ जाना — vyartha jānā literally means:

“to go in vain”

and can naturally be translated as:

“to be wasted” / “to go to waste.”

For example:

समय व्यर्थ जाता है।
samaya vyartha jātā hai.
→ “Time is wasted.” / “Time goes to waste.”

But:

समय व्यर्थ न जाये।
samaya vyartha na jāye.
→ “Let no time be wasted.”

3. A parallel structure

The sentence uses exactly the same pattern twice:

संकल्प व्यर्थ न जाये
saṅkalpa vyartha na jāye
→ let no thought be wasted

समय व्यर्थ न जाये
samaya vyartha na jāye
→ let no time be wasted

The repetition of:

व्यर्थ न जाये — vyartha na jāye

places two precious resources side by side:

thought and time.

🌟 Meaning in the BK context

In BK language, संकल्प — saṅkalpa is especially important. It does not only mean “resolution” or “intention”; it can refer to each thought produced by the mind.

For example:

शुद्ध संकल्प — śuddha saṅkalpa
→ pure thought

श्रेष्ठ संकल्प — śreṣṭha saṅkalpa
→ elevated thought

व्यर्थ संकल्प — vyartha saṅkalpa
→ wasteful or useless thought

The sentence therefore creates a close connection between the two:

संकल्प व्यर्थ न जाये, समय व्यर्थ न जाये।
saṅkalpa vyartha na jāye, samaya vyartha na jāye.

A thought that goes into व्यर्थ — vyartha, the useless or wasteful, also consumes समय — samaya, time.

The idea could therefore be expressed more fully as:

“Do not allow any thought to be wasted in the useless, and do not allow any moment of time to be wasted.”

In this context, “thought” is therefore a better translation of संकल्प — saṅkalpa than “resolution”.
