📚 Vocabulary
- बाप (bāp) — father; in the BK context: the Father
- कहते हैं (kahte haiṃ) — says / say
- थकना (thaknā) — to get tired, to grow weary, to become exhausted
- नहीं (nahīṃ) — not
- है (hai) — is; here part of the construction नहीं है
⚙️ ️Grammar
1. कहते हैं — kahte haiṃ
This comes from the verb:
कहना — kahnā
“to say”
So:
बाप कहते हैं
Bāp kahte haiṃ
→ “The Father says.”
Although कहते हैं is grammatically plural, Hindi commonly uses this plural form as an honorific form for a respected singular person.
2. थकना — thaknā
This is the infinitive of the verb थकना, meaning:
- to get tired
- to grow weary
- to become exhausted
For example:
मैं थक गया।
Maiṃ thak gayā.
→ “I got tired / I am tired.”
थकना मत।
Thaknā mat.
→ “Don’t get tired.” / “Don’t lose heart.”
3. थकना नहीं है — thaknā nahīṃ hai
The construction:
infinitive + नहीं है
is frequently used to express an instruction, rule, or something that one should not do.
For example:
घबराना नहीं है।
Ghabrānā nahīṃ hai.
→ “You must not be afraid / Don’t panic.”
Likewise:
थकना नहीं है।
Thaknā nahīṃ hai.
Literally, it is something like:
“Getting tired is not what is to be done.”
More naturally:
“Do not get tired.”
“Do not grow weary.”
or, depending on the context,
“Do not lose heart.”
🌟 Meaning in the BK Context
बाप कहते हैं थकना नहीं है।
Bāp kahte haiṃ, thaknā nahīṃ hai.
In the Murli, थकना — thaknā can refer to becoming weary in one’s पुरुषार्थ — puruṣārth, one’s spiritual effort.
The idea is therefore not necessarily that one should never experience physical tiredness. Rather, it means not to become inwardly discouraged and not to give up one’s spiritual effort, even when progress seems slow or obstacles arise.
A particularly natural BK-context translation would therefore be:
“The Father says: Do not lose heart.”
Or, if we want to retain the image of tiredness more closely:
“The Father says: Do not grow weary in your efforts.”
