⚙️ ️Grammar
1. तुम बच्चों को – To you children
The expression तुम बच्चों को (tum baccoṃ ko) combines the pronoun तुम (you) with बच्चों (children).
बच्चों is the oblique plural form of बच्चा (baccā, child), used before the postposition को.
Here, को identifies the person who experiences the event, following the grammatical construction of मिलना (milnā, to meet, to find, to receive).
2. बाप मिला है – You have found the Father
The verb मिलना (milnā) is often constructed with को:
- मुझे बाप मिला है। (Mujhe bāp milā hai.) – I have found the Father.
- तुम बच्चों को बाप मिला है। (Tum baccoṃ ko bāp milā hai.) – You children have found the Father.
The form मिला है (milā hai) is the present perfect construction.
मिला is masculine singular because it agrees with बाप (Father).
This form describes a completed encounter whose result remains relevant in the present.
3. खुशी का पारा – The mercury of happiness
This is the most interesting expression in the sentence.
पारा (pārā) literally means "mercury", the liquid metal traditionally used in thermometers.
The expression पारा चढ़ना (pārā caṛhnā) means "the mercury rises".
Figuratively, it expresses an increase in the intensity of a feeling.
For example:
- गुस्से का पारा चढ़ना (gusse kā pārā caṛhnā) – Anger rises.
- खुशी का पारा चढ़ना (khuśī kā pārā caṛhnā) – Happiness rises.
In this sentence, the thermometer metaphor emphasizes the intense happiness that should arise from meeting the Father.
Notice that का (kā) agrees with पारा (masculine singular), not with खुशी (feminine).
4. चढ़ना चाहिए – Should rise
The grammatical construction is:
Infinitive + चाहिए (cāhie)
It expresses necessity, recommendation, or something that ought to happen.
Here, चढ़ना चाहिए means "should rise".
It is not simply a moral obligation to be happy. The sentence suggests that happiness should naturally result from meeting the Father.
5. अब ... तो – Now that… then…
In this sentence, तो (to) introduces a consequence of the situation described before it.
अब तुम बच्चों को बाप मिला है Ab tum baccoṃ ko bāp milā hai Now that you children have found the Father…
तो खुशी का पारा चढ़ना चाहिए। To khuśī kā pārā caṛhnā cāhie. …your happiness should therefore rise.
🌟 Meaning in the BK Context
In the teachings of the Brahma Kumaris, बाप (bāp) refers here to Shiva Baba, the spiritual Father of all souls.
The Father, who was previously sought and invoked on the path of devotion (bhakti mārga), has now been recognized and found by the children.
In this Murli passage, meeting the Father is also associated with receiving knowledge of the cycle of 84 births and the spiritual inheritance from the Father.
Therefore, this happiness does not arise merely from a feeling of devotion. It comes from understanding what the soul has rediscovered: its Father, spiritual knowledge, and the opportunity to claim its inheritance.
The expression खुशी का पारा चढ़ना (khuśī kā pārā caṛhnā) illustrates the happiness that should increase as the soul becomes more aware of its spiritual fortune.
💡 Key Expression to Remember
खुशी का पारा चढ़ना Khuśī kā pārā caṛhnā "To feel one's happiness soar."
A beautiful Hindi metaphor that connects a physical phenomenon — the rising of mercury — with the intensity of an emotion.
