📚 Vocabulary

⚙️ ️Grammar

1. अपने को आत्मा समझ — “Considering yourself to be a soul”

This expression contains three elements:

• अपने को (apne ko): oneself, the object of the verb.
• आत्मा (ātmā): soul, the identity attributed to oneself.
• समझ (samajh): a verbal form derived from समझना (samajhnā), meaning “to understand” or “to consider.”

The construction X को Y समझना means “to consider X to be Y.”

For example:

अपने को आत्मा समझो। Apne ko ātmā samjho. “Consider yourself a soul.”

In our sentence, समझ (samajh) is not the imperative समझो (samjho).

It is a non-finite verbal form that can be understood as a shortened form of समझकर (samajhkar), meaning “having understood” or “considering.”

The sentence therefore establishes a relationship between two actions: considering oneself a soul and remembering the Father.

2. मुझ बाप को — “Me, the Father”

This expression deserves particular attention.

मुझ (mujh) is the oblique form of the pronoun मैं (maiṃ), meaning “I.”

Here, it appears before बाप (bāp), “Father,” which clarifies the identity of the speaker.

मुझ बाप को याद करो। Mujh bāp ko yād karo. “Remember Me, the Father.”

It does not mean “my father,” which would be मेरे बाप (mere bāp).

In Murli language, मुझ बाप (mujh bāp) refers to the Father Himself speaking to His spiritual children.

The particle को (ko) marks the object of remembrance.

3. याद करो — “Remember”

याद करना (yād karnā) is a very common Hindi expression:

• याद (yād): remembrance, memory.
• करना (karnā): to do.
• याद करो (yād karo): remember.

The verb करो (karo) is the familiar imperative form of करना, addressed to तुम (tum).

In the Murli, this familiar form reflects the affectionate relationship between the Father and His children.

In the BK context, याद करना means more than occasionally thinking about someone. It refers to maintaining conscious, spiritual remembrance.

🌟 Spiritual Meaning in the BK Context

In the teachings of the Brahma Kumaris, this sentence brings together two fundamental practices of Raja Yoga.

1. Soul-consciousness

अपने को आत्मा समझ Apne ko ātmā samajh “Consider yourself a soul.”

This means recognizing:

“I am a soul, a conscious being distinct from the physical body. The body is my instrument.”

This awareness helps us become internally detached from identification with the body, without abandoning our responsibilities.

2. Remembrance of the Father

मुझ बाप को याद करो। Mujh bāp ko yād karo. “Remember Me, the Father.”

Here, the Father refers to Shiv Baba, the Supreme Father of all souls.

According to BK teachings, remembrance of Shiv Baba enables the soul to regain its purity and spiritual power.

💡 An Important Nuance

The sentence does not present two completely independent practices.

The first, considering oneself a soul, prepares the way for the second, remembering the Father.

The remembrance described here is not that of one physical body remembering another physical body. It is the remembrance of the Supreme Father by a soul.

This is why the complete sentence can also be translated as:

“In the awareness of being a soul, remember Me, the Father.”

This rendering captures the deeper spiritual meaning of the sentence in the Murli.

The essential teaching is that soul-consciousness provides the foundation for true remembrance of the Father.
