BACKGROUND
Rishimuni (Sadhubaba): Main tumhe ichha mrityu ka vardaan deta hoon, tum apni ichha se apni mrityu chun sakte ho. Tum jab tak chaho, is sansaar me reh sakego. Itna hi nahi, tum agar chaho, to apne kisi chahnewale ko bhi ye vardaan de sakte ho.
Me: Dhanyawaad, rishibar. Main aapko is vardaan ke liye abhaar vyakt karta hoon. Parantu, mere man me ek shanka hai.
Rishimuni: Puchho, putra.
Me: Rishibar, jitna gyaan mujhe hai, koi devta, yaha tak ki swayam Tridev bhi amarta ka vardaan kisi ko nahi de sakte. Phir, mujhe ye vardaan kaise mil sakta hai?
Rishimuni: Main jaanta tha ki tumhare man me ye sawaal awashya aayega. Ab tumhara uttar deta hoon. Ye purnataha satya hai ki koi bhi amarta ka vardaan nahi de sakta. Sakshat Raavan, jisne ek kathinatam tap kiya tha aur apna aakhiri sar bhi daan karne ke liye tayaar tha, use bhi Brahmadev ne amarta ka vardaan nahi diya. Maine bhi tumhe amarta ka vardaan nahi diya hai. Ichha mrityu ka vardaan amarta ka vardaan nahi hai. Punya aur sadgun rakhne wale vyaktiyon ko hi ichha mrityu ka vardaan milta hai. Maharaj Shantanu ne bhi apne putra Bhishma ko unke niswartha bhaav ke liye ichha mrityu ka vardaan diya tha.
Me: Phir mujhe is vardaan ke liye kyun yogya samjha gaya hai, rishibar?
Rishimuni: Tumhari isi bhaav ke liye. Tumne aaj tak apne jeevan me kabhi bhi swaarthpurna karya nahi kiye hain. Aur, abhi tumhe bahut mahaan karya karne hain jiske liye ye vardaan tumhari madat karega.
Me: Rishibar, mere man me ek aur prashna hai. Pata nahi kyu, lekin mere man me aisi anubhuti ho rahi hai ki aap jo dikh rahe hain, wo nahi hain. Kripaya apna asli parichay de, swami.
Rishimuni: Adbhut. Tum apne is dimaag se vardaan ke liye phir se apne aap ko siddha kar chuke ho. Main...
1 ghante pehle:
Main ek jungle ke bich se hote hue apne bike par ja raha tha. Apna ek kaam jaruri khatam karke main ghar ja raha tha, aur raaste me ye jungle aata tha. Achanak se mujhe ek insaani chikh sunai di. Maine apni bike wahi side me jaldi se rok di aur us chikh ki taraf chal pada. Apni taraf se jitna ho sake, har kisi ki madat karna to mere swabhav me bachpan se hi tha.
Main daudte hue thodi hi dur pahucha tha ki mujhe ek 10-12 saal ka thoda mota ladka dikhai diya. Isi ladke ki wo chikh thi jo mujhe sunai di thi. Uski nazar ka pichha kiya to mujhe ek sher dikhai diya jo dikhne me bahut zyaada bhukha lag raha tha. Maine us ladke ko waha se thoda dur kar diya aur us sher ke saamne khada ho gaya. Achanak se mujhe ek awaz sunai di.
Awaz: Tumhe sach me lagta hai ki tum mujhse lad sakte ho? Ya phir mujhse bach bhi sakte ho?
Ye awaz sher ki disha se hi aayi thi isiliye uski taraf uske aaspaas dekhne laga.
Awaz: Aise kya dekh rahe ho? Main hi bol raha hoon, ye sher.
Main ye dekhkar thoda shock ho gaya.
Me: Ye kaise sambhav hai? Sher kaise bol sakta hai?
Sher: Main iska jawaab tumhe dena jaruri nahi samajhta. Ab mere maarg se hat jao, aur mujhe is balak ko khane do. 2 hafto se bhukha hoon main. Iska mota sharir mujhe kuch dino tak santusht rakhega.
Me: Nahi. Main aisa nahi hone de sakta. Bhagwan ne tumhare liye niyam banaye hain jinka tum ulanghan nahi kar sakte. Is balak ko khakar tum prakritik khadya srinkhala (food chain) ko nahi tod sakte. Manushya tumhara bhojan nahi hai.
Sher: Mujhe jo dikh jaaye, wahi mera bhojan hai. Ab mere raaste se hat jao, nahi to main tumhe bhi kha sakta hoon.
Me: Main raaste se nahi hatunga. Mera dharm hai ki main nirbal logo ka madad karoon, isiliye mai tumse keh raha hoon ki tum ise chhod do.
Sher: Lagta hai ki tumko bhi marne ki bahut jaldi hai.
Ye kehkar sher ne mujhpar chhalang laga diya, lekin main pehle se hi satark tha isiliiye main side me hat gaya aur jump lagakar ek kick maine sher ko maara jis se wo thoda dur gir gaya aur gusse me utha.
Sher: (gusse me) Akhir kyu tum ise bachane ke liye apni jaan dena chahte ho?
Me: Kyuki ye mera dharm hai ki main kamjor logo ki sahayata karu.
Sher: To kya tumhara dharm ye bhi kehta hai ki bhukhe ko bhukha hi maar do?
Me: Nahi, aisa nahi hai. Bhukhe ko khana khilana bhi dharm hai.
Sher: To hato mere raaste se. Main bhukha hoon aur wo mera bhojan.
Me: Nahi, main aisa nahi kar sakta. Mere rehte tum use kuch nahi kar sakta.
Sher. Thik hai. Tum use bachana chahte ho aur mujhe apni bhukh mitani hai, to ek raasta hai.
Me: Kaisa raasta?
Sher: Uske badle tum mujhe kisi aur ka maans (meat) laakar do, jise main khakar apna bhukh mita saku.
Me: Ye raasta upayukt nahi hai. Tumhari bhukh mitane ke liye main kisi aur ki hatya nahi kar sakta.
Sher: Kisi ki hatya kyu karni hai? Tum apna hi maans de do mujhe.
Me: Kya matlab?
Sher: Tum mujhe apna maans de do. Is se tumhara dharm bhi bhang nahi hoga, aur meri bhukh bhi shaant ho jayegi.
Mujhe yahi raasta sahi laga. Maine apne pariwar ko ek aakhiri baar yaad kiya aur kaha ki humara saath yahi tak tha. Maine dheere-dheere karke pehle apne jaangh (thigh) ka maans kaatkar sher ko diya, phir ek-ek karke maine apne sharir ka saara maans kaatkar sher ko de diya. Apna aakhiri maans kaatkar main behos hone hi wala tha ki ek tez roshni waha fail gayi. Jab roshni kam hui to waha koi sher nahi tha, wo ladka bhi nahi tha, aur main bhi puri tarah swasth tha. Saamne ek rishi khade hue the.
Rishimuni: Putra, tum apni pariksha me safal hue. Ye meri hi rachi gayi maaya thi jis ki madat se maine tumhari pariksha li thi. Main dekhna chahta tha ki tum sach me niswarth bhavana rakhte ho, ya phir swayam par musibat aate dekhkar tum dar ke bhaag jaate ho. Lekin tumne niswarthata ki had paar kar di hai. Us anjaan ladke ko bachane ke liye tumne swayam apni zindagi ki parwaah nahi ki aur swayam ko mrityu ke samaksh arpan kar diya. Dhanya ho tum, putra. Isiliye main tumhe vardaan deta hoon. Main tumhe ichha mrityu ka vardaan deta hoon.
......
Rishimuni: Adbhut. Tum apne is dimaag se vardaan ke liye phir se apne aap ko siddha kar chuke ho. Main Shiv ka shishya Parshuram hoon.
Main ye sunkar sidha unke pair par gir giya.
Me: Shiv-shishya, Vishnu-avatar, dharma-rakshak, Guru Parshuram ko mera sat-sat naman.
Guru Parshuram: Utho, putra.
Main khada ho gaya.
Guru Parshuram: Putra, tumne apne aapko is vardaan ke liye siddha kiya hai. Tumhe ye prastut kiya hai ki tum is vardaan ke liye ek yogya vyaktitwa ho.
Me: Prabhu, aapne thodi der pehle kaha tha ki mujhe bhavishya me bahut mahan karya karne hain. Aisa kaun se karya karne hain mujhe?
Guru Parshuram: Putra, tumne khud ye mehsus kiya hoga ki tum anya balako se alag ho, unse tez ho. Putra, tumhara janam is sansaar ki burai ko khatam karne ke liye aur nisahay logo ki madat karne ke liye hua hai. Tumhe bahut logo ki madat karni hai, jo tumhari madat ke baad hi apne dukh aur dard dur kar sakenge. Tumhe swayam hi sahi samay ka pata chal jayega jab tumhe unki madat karni hogi.
Me: Mujhe kaise logo ki madat karni hai, prabhu? Aur kaisi madat?
Parshuram: Tumhe is vardaan ke saath hi anya bahut shaktiyaan bhi prapti hui hain, jo tumhari madat karengi.
Me: Kaisi shaktiyaan, prabhu?
Guru Parshuram: Bachpan se hi vyayam (exercise) aur yoga karte rehne ki wajah se tumhara sharir pehle hi bahut achha hai. To tumhe sharirik shakti dene se tumhara sharir ab lohe ka ban jaayega. Koi bhi loha tumhare sharir ko bhed nahi paayegi, isiliye ab tum banduk ki goli, talwar, chaaku (knife), lagayat sabhi hathiyaro ke surakshit ho. Tum ab duniya ke sabhi hathiyar chalane me saksham ho jaoge. Tumse badhiya koi bhi hathiyar nahi chala paayega. Ye to hui sharirik shaktiyaan. Ab main mansik shaktiyon ki baat bata deta hoon. Tum ichha anusaar kisi ke bhi man ki baate sun sakoge. Tumhe apna roop badalne ki shakti bhi milti hai. Tum chaho to apne aap ka ek putla (clone) bhi bana sakte ho jo tumhare na hone par bilkul tumhari tarah hi karya karne me saksham hoga. Ab aakhiri hai kaamshakti. Tum is sansaar ke sabse sampurna aur sabse bade mard banoge. Koi bhi mahila tumhare paas asantusht nahi rahegi. Asantushti ki wajah se ghutan me apni zindagi kaat rahi mahilaon ka uddhar karoge tum. Apne pati ki kamjori ki wajah se bin bachche ke reh rahe aurato ko balak pradaan karoge tum. Ye saari shaktiyaan tumhe pradaan ki jaati hain. Waise, ye to bus kuch shaktiyaan hain, tum chaho to kuch bhi kar sakte ho. Tum in shaktiyon ka galat faayda nahi uthaoge, ye main achhe se jaanta hoon. Ab tum ja sakte ho, tumhare parivarwale tumhari chinta kar rahe honge.
Me: Aapka bahut-bahut dhanyawaad, prabhu.
Maine unke ek baar aur pair chhuye, aur waha se nikal gaya.
