🔎 Word-for-word meaning

गृहस्थ व्यवहार में — in family life

रहते — while living

कमल फूल समान — like a lotus flower

बनना है — one has to become

⚙️ ️Grammar

1. रहते — rahte

रहते comes from रहना — rahnā, “to stay” or “to live”.

The fuller construction would be:

गृहस्थ व्यवहार में रहते हुए
gṛhastha vyavahār meṃ rahte hue
“while living within family life”

Here, हुए — hue is omitted. This shortened form is common in Hindi, especially in spiritual discourse.

2. कमल फूल समान — kamala-phūla samāna

The expression के समान — ke samāna means “similar to” or “like”.

A fuller version would be:

कमल के फूल के समान
kamala ke phūla ke samāna
“like a lotus flower”

In the sentence, the expression is condensed to:

कमल फूल समान

This gives the phrase a concise and slightly literary tone.

3. बनना है — bannā hai

The construction:

infinitive + है

can express necessity, instruction, or a goal:

• बनना है — one has to become
• करना है — one has to do
• रहना है — one has to remain

The sentence therefore gives a spiritual instruction rather than merely describing a situation.

🌟 Meaning of the lotus image

A lotus grows in water, yet its petals remain untouched by it. It therefore symbolizes living amid relationships, duties, and worldly activities without becoming inwardly attached or influenced.

In the BK context, the sentence means:

Live with your family and fulfil your responsibilities, while maintaining soul-consciousness and remembrance of the Father.

The teaching is not to leave family life, but to remain loving without attachment, active without losing inner stability, and involved without becoming spiritually dependent on circumstances.
