⚙️ ️Grammar

1. दृढ़ संकल्प करना — dṛṛh saṅkalpa karnā

This expression means “to make a firm resolution.”

दृढ़ — dṛṛh: firm

• संकल्प — saṅkalpa: resolution, determined thought
• करना — karnā: to do

So:

दृढ़ संकल्प करो।
dṛṛh saṅkalpa karo.
→ “Make a firm resolution.”

करो — karo is the imperative form of करना — karnā. It is very common in the Murlis when Baba directly addresses the children.

2. आज से — āj se

आज — āj means “today”, and से — se marks the starting point here.

आज से — āj se
→ “from today”, “starting today”.

Compare:

• कल से — kal se: from tomorrow
• अब से — ab se: from now on

3. अटेन्शन, नो टेन्शन — aṭenśan, no ṭenśan

This is a deliberately hybrid Hindi-English expression.

अटेन्शन — aṭenśan
→ “attention”

टेन्शन — ṭenśan
→ “tension”, commonly used in Indian speech to mean stress, worry, or mental pressure.

The rhyme makes the expression memorable:

अटेन्शन, नो टेन्शन।
aṭenśan, no ṭenśan.
→ Attention, no tension.

🌟 Meaning in the BK Context

Here, अटेन्शन — aṭenśan does not simply mean “pay attention” in the ordinary sense. It refers to maintaining spiritual attentiveness: being aware of one’s thoughts, स्मृति — smṛti (“awareness, remembrance”), attitude, and inner stage.

But this attention should not turn into टेन्शन — ṭenśan — stress, worry, or inner pressure.

So पुरुषार्थ — puruṣārtha, spiritual effort, should be sincere and steady, but not heavy or anxious.

The contrast can be summed up as:

अटेन्शन — aṭenśan → vigilance, awareness, carefulness
टेन्शन — ṭenśan → worry, stress, mental pressure

And दृढ़ संकल्प — dṛṛh saṅkalpa adds the idea of a firm inner decision: this is not merely something to understand intellectually, but something to put into practice आज से — āj se, “from today onward.”

👉 Be fully attentive in your spiritual effort, but without putting yourself under tension.
