📚 Vocabulary

• इस पर (is par) – on this, on this matter, with regard to this
• भी (bhī) – also, as well
• कहानी (kahānī) – story, tale
• गुलबकावली (gulbakāvalī) – proper noun; heroine of a well-known Indo-Persian folk tale

⚙️ ️Grammar

1️⃣ Context-dependent reference

• इस पर clearly refers back to the previous explanation:
  • repeated remembrance of the Father,
  • remembrance breaking again and again,
  • Māyā extinguishing the lamp.

The sentence cannot be understood in isolation; it functions as an illustrative key.

2️⃣ Oral Murli style

• Very short, simple sentence.
• Baba does not narrate the story in detail.
• He assumes familiarity and uses the story only as a symbolic reference, not as entertainment.

🌺 The Story of Gulbakāvalī

In traditional Indo-Persian folk tales:

• Gulbakāvalī is a celestial princess associated with a rare, miraculous flower or light.
• This flower has extraordinary powers:
  • restoring sight,
  • removing suffering,
  • granting life or kingship.
• The hero must undertake a long and difficult journey to obtain it.
• Many begin the journey,
  but:
  • very few reach the flower,
  • and even fewer succeed in keeping it until the end.

Often:

• the hero progresses very well,
• feels close to success,
• but loses the flower at the final stage due to distraction, attachment, or carelessness.

🪔 BK Symbolic Reading (core meaning)

Element in the story	BK spiritual meaning
Flower / light	Remembrance of the Father (याद)
Difficult journey	Sangam Yug, tapasya
Illusions and dangers	Māyā
Final loss	Subtle negligence, weakened awareness
Few winners	Numberwise

👉 The key lesson:

Lighting the lamp is easier than keeping it lit.

🔥 Direct Link with the Given Context

Context says:

We remember the Father again and again,
then remembrance breaks.
Māyā extinguishes the lamp.

This mirrors Gulbakāvalī exactly:

• 🪔 the lamp is lit (good remembrance),
• 🌪️ Māyā comes,
• 🔥 the flame goes out.

Then:

Children walk very well,
then Māyā comes and extinguishes the lamp.

Just like the story:

• good beginning,
• strong progress,
• defeat at the end, not through major sin but through lack of vigilance.

🌪️ Why does the fall happen?

In the story of Gulbakāvalī, failure is never dramatic.

❌ Not a big mistake
❌ Not a visible collapse

✅ It is:

• a small moment of inattention,
• a subtle attachment,
• self-satisfaction,
• a feeling of “now it’s enough”.

💡 Baba’s teaching:

Māyā does not blow out the lamp at once;
she first weakens the flame.

👶 Meaning of “children also say…”

When Baba says:

Children also say: Baba, the storms of Māyā come very strongly.

He shows that:

• children recognize Māyā,
• but underestimate her subtlety.

As in Gulbakāvalī:

• the danger is not gross,
• it is refined, attractive, and seemingly harmless.

🏁 Deep Meaning of the Sentence

इस पर गुलबकावली की भी कहानी है really means:

What you are experiencing now — progressing well and then losing remembrance —
has already been illustrated in an old story:
the story of a precious light that very few are able to protect till the end.

🧠 Essential Takeaway

• Gulbakāvalī is not a cultural anecdote.
• It is a complete metaphor of the BK spiritual journey.
• Success is not reaching the light,
  but remaining victorious until the end.

👉 That is why Baba insists so much on:

• constant, moment-to-moment remembrance of the Father,
• continuous inner vigilance,
• an unshakeable and stable inner state,
• and a life of victory, where the soul is not defeated by Māyā.
