📅 Murli sentence of 21 September 2026
📜 Hindi
ज्ञान से होती है सद्गति।
🔤 Transliteration
gyān se hotī hai sadgati.
💬 Translation
It is through knowledge that salvation is attained.
In a BK context, a more explanatory translation would be:
“It is through spiritual knowledge that one attains an elevated state.”
📚 Vocabulary
ज्ञान — jñāna / gyān
→ knowledge, wisdom
In the BK context: spiritual knowledge.
से — se
→ through, by means of, because of.
होती है — hotī hai
→ happens, occurs, comes about, is attained.
होती (hotī) is feminine because सद्गति (sadgati) is feminine.
सद्गति — sadgati
→ salvation, liberation, a good destiny, an elevated state.
The word can be analysed as:
सद् (sad) “good, right, true” + गति (gati) “movement, course, destination, state.”
So सद्गति (sadgati) literally suggests a “good destination” or “good state”, and by extension “salvation” or “spiritual elevation.”
It contrasts with:
दुर्गति — durgati
→ a bad state, degradation, misfortune, a bad destiny.
⚙️ ️Grammar
The structure is:
ज्ञान से — jñāna se
→ through knowledge
होती है — hotī hai
→ happens / comes about
सद्गति — sadgati
→ salvation / an elevated state
A fairly literal rendering is therefore:
ज्ञान से होती है सद्गति।
jñāna se hotī hai sadgati.
→ “Through knowledge comes an elevated state.”
A more neutral Hindi word order would be:
ज्ञान से सद्गति होती है।
jñāna se sadgati hotī hai.
Putting सद्गति (sadgati) at the end gives it greater emphasis:
“It is through knowledge that sadgati is attained.”
🌟 Meaning in the BK context
Here, ज्ञान (gyān) does not simply mean intellectual or worldly knowledge. It refers to the spiritual knowledge given by the Father: knowledge of the soul, the Father, karma, the world cycle, and so on.
सद्गति (sadgati) can therefore be understood as the soul's movement from a degraded or impure condition towards an elevated, pure and happy state.
The idea can be represented as:
ज्ञान (gyān) → transformation of consciousness → सद्गति (sadgati)
So, in the BK context, a particularly meaningful translation is:
“It is through spiritual knowledge that the soul attains an elevated state.”
