is ilake ke zamiandar ek mahantaji the. karakoon aur mukhtar unhian ke chele-chap d the. isalie lagan barabar vasool hota jata tha. thakuradvare mean koee-n-koee utsav hota hi rahata tha. kabhi thakuraji ka janm hai, kabhi byah hai, kabhi yajnopavit hai, kabhi jhoola hai, kabhi jal-vihar hai. asamiyoan ko in avasaroan par begar deni p dati thi bheant-nyochhavar, pooja-chadhava adi namoan se dastoori chukani p dati thi lekin dharm ke muamale mean kaun muanh kholata- dharm-sankat sabase b da sankat hai. phir ilake ke kashtakar sabhi nich jatiyoan ke log the. gaanv pichhe do-char ghar brahyan-kshatriyoan ke the bhi unaki sahanubhooti asamiyoan ki or n hokar mahantaji ki or thi. kisi-n-kisi roop mean ve sabhi mahantaji ke sevak the. asamiyoan ko prasann rakhana p data tha. bechare ek to garibi ke bojh se dabe hue, doosare moorkh, n kayada janean n qanoon mahantaji jitana chahean ijafa karean, jab chahean bedakhal karean, kisi mean bolane ka sahas n tha. aksar khetoan ka lagan itana badh gaya tha ki sari upaj lagan ke barabar bhi n pahuanchati thi kiantu log bhagy ko rokar, bhookhe-nange rahakar, kuttoan ki maut marakar, khet jotate jate the. karean kya- kitanoan hi ne jakar shaharoan mean naukari kar li thi. kitane hi mazadoori karane lage the. phir bhi asamiyoan ki kami n thi. krishi-pradhan desh mean kheti keval jivika ka sadhan nahian hai samman ki vastu bhi hai. grihasth kahalana garv ki bat hai. kisan grihasthi mean apana sarvasv khokar videsh jata hai, vahaan se dhan kamakar lata hai aur phir grihasthi karata hai. man-pratishtha ka moh auroan ki bhaanti use ghere rahata hai. vah grihasth rahakar jina aur grihasth hi mean marana bhi chahata hai. usaka bal-bal karz se baandha ho, lekin dvar par do-char bail bandhakar vah apane ko dhany samajhata hai. use sal mean tis sau sath din adhe pet khakar rahana p de, pual mean ghusakar ratean katani p dean, bebasi se jina aur bebasi se marana p de, koee chianta nahian, vah grihasth to hai. yah garv usaki sari durgati ki purauti kar deta hai.

lekin is sal anayas hi jiansoan ka bhav gir gaya jitana chalis sal pahale tha. jab bhav tej tha, kisan apani upaj bech-bechakar lagan de deta tha lekin jab do aur tin ki jians ek mean bike to kisan kya kare- kahaan se lagan de, kahaan se dastooriyaan de, kahaan se karz chukae- vikat samasya a kh di huee aur yah dasha kuchh isi ilake ki n thi. sare praant, sare desh, yahaan tak ki sare sansar mean yahi mandi thi char ser ka gu d koee das ser mean bhi nahian poochhata. ath ser ka gehooan dedh rupaye man mean bhi mahanga hai. tis rupaye man ka kapas das rupaye mean jata hai, solah rupaye man ka san char rupayoan mean. kisanoan ne ek-ek dana bech dala, bhoose ka ek tinaka bhi n rakha lekin yah sab karane par bhi chauthaee lagan se jyada n ada kar sake aur thakuradvare mean vahi utsav the, vahi jal-vihar the. natija yah hua ki halake mean hahakar mach gaya. idhar kuchh dinoan se svami atmanand aur amarakant ke udyog se ilake mean vidya ka kuchh prachar ho raha tha aur kee gaanvoan mean logoan ne dastoori dena band kar diya tha. mahantaji ke pyade aur karakoon pahale hi se jale baithe the. yoan to dal n galati thi. bakaya lagan ne unhean apane dil ka gubar nikalane ka mauqa de diya.

ek din ganga-tat par is samasya par vichar karane ke lie ek panchayat huee. sare ilake se stri-purush jama hue mano kisi parv ka snan karane ae hoan. svami atmanand sabhapati chun ge.

pahale bhola chaudhari kh de hue. vah pahale kisi aphasar ke kochavan the. ab ne sal se phir kheti karane lage the. lanbi nak, kala rang, b di-b di mooanchhean aur b di-si pag di. muanh pag di mean chhip gaya tha. bole-pancho, hamare oopar jo lagan baandha hua hai vah tezike samay ka hai. is mandi mean vah lagan dena hamare kaboo se bahar hai. abaki agar bail-bachhiya bechakar de bhi dean to age kya kareange- bas hamean isi bat ka tasaphiya karana hai. meri gujaris to yahi hai ki ham sab milakar mahant maharaj ke pas chalean aur unase araj-maeej karean. agar vah n sunean to hakim zila ke pas chalana chahie. maian auroan ki nahian kahata. maian ganga mata ki kasam khake kahata hooan ki mere ghar mean chhataank bhar bhi ann nahian hai, aur jab mera yah hal hai, to aur sabhi ka bhi yahi hal hoga. udhar mahantaji ke yahaan vahi bahar hai. abhi parasoan ek hazar sadhuoan ko am ki pangat di gee. banaras aur lakhanoo se kee dibbe amoan ke ae haian. aj sunate haian phir malaee ki pangat hai. ham bhookhoan marate haian, vahaan malaee u dati hai. us par hamara rakt choosa ja raha hai. bas, yahi mujhe panchoan se kahana hai.

good d ne dhaansi huee aankheanan pherakar kaha-mahantaji hamare malik haian, annadata haian, mahatma haian. hamara du:kh sunakar zaroor-se-zaroor unhean hamare oopar daya aegi isalie hamean bhola chauri ki salah manjoor karani chahie. amar bhaiya hamari or se batachit kareange. ham aur kuchh nahian chahate. bas, hamean aur hamare bal-bachchoan ko adha-adha ser rojana ke hisab se diya jae. upaj jo kuchh ho vah sab mahantaji le jaean. ham ghi-doodh nahian maangate, doodh-malaee nahian magante. khali adh ser mota anaj maangate haian. itana bhi n milega, to ham kheti n kareange. majoori aur bij kisake ghar se laeange. ham kheti chho d deange, isake siva doosara upay nahian hai.

saloni ne hath chamakakar kaha-khet kyoan chhodean- bap-dadoan ki nisani hai. use nahian chho d sakate. khet par paran de dooangi. ek tha, tab do hue, tab char hue, ab kya dharati sona ugalegi.

alagoo kori bijjoo-si aankheanan nikalakar bola-bhaiya, maian to belag kahata hooan, mahant ke pas chalane se kuchh n hoga. raja thakur haian. kahian krodh a gaya, to pitavane lageange. hakim ke pas chalana chahie. goroan mean phir bhi daya hai.

atmanand ne sabhi ka virodh kiya-maian kahata hooan, kisi ke pas jane se kuchh nahian hoga. tumhari thali ki roti tumase kahe ki mujhe n khao, to tum manoge-

charoan taraph se avajean aeean-kabhi nahian man sakate.

'to tum jinaki thali ki rotiyaan ho vah kaise man sakate haian.'

bahut-si avajoan ne samarthan kiya-kabhi nahian man sakate haian.

'mahantaji ko utsav manane ko rupaye chahie. hakimoan ko b di-b di talab chahie. unaki talab mean kami nahian ho sakati. ve apani shan nahian chho d sakate. tum maro ya jiyo unaki bala se. vah tumhean kyoan chho dane lage?'

bahut-si avajoan ne hami bhari-kabhi nahian chho d sakate.

amarakant svamiji ke pichhe baitha hua tha. svamiji ka yah rukhadekhakar ghabaraya lekin sabhapati ko kaise roke- yah to vah janata tha, yah garm mizaj ka adami hai lekin itani jaldi itana garm ho jaega, isaki use asha n thi. akhir yah mahashay chahate kya haian-

atmanand garajakar bole-to ab tumhare lie kaun-sa marg hai- agar mujhase poochhate ho, aur tum log aj pran karo ki use manoge, to maian bata sakata hooan, nahian tumhari ichchha.

bahut-si avajean aeean-zaroor batalaie svamiji, batalaie.

janata charoan or se khisakakar aur samip a gee. svamiji unake hriday ko sparsh kar rahe haian, yah unake cheharoan se jhalak raha tha. jan-ruchi sadaiv ugr ki or hoti hai.

atmanand bole-to ao, aj ham sab mahantaji ka makan aur thakuradvara gher lean aur jab tak vah lagan bilakul n chho d dean, koee utsav n hone dean.

bahut-si avajean aeean-ham log taiyar haian.

'khoob samajh lo ki vahaan tum pan-phool se pooje n jaoge.'

'kuchh paravah nahian. mar to rahe haian, sisak-sisakakar kyoan marean .'

'to isi vakt chalean. ham dikha dean ki?'

sahasa amar ne kh de hokar pradipt netroan se kaha-thaharo .

samooh mean sannata chha gaya. jo jahaan tha, vahian kh da rah gaya.

amar ne chhati thoankakar kaha-jis raste par tum ja rahe ho, vah udhar ka rasta nahian hai-sarvanash ka rasta hai. tumhara bail agar bimar p d jae jo tum use jotoge-

kisi taraph se koee avaz n aee.

'tum pahale usaki dava karoge, aur jab tak vah achchha n ho jaega, use n jotoge kyoanki tum bail ko marana nahian chahate usake marane se tumhare khet parati p d jaeange.'

good d bole-bahut thik kahate ho, bhaiya .

'ghar mean ag lagane par hamara kya dharm hai- kya ham ag ko phailane dean aur ghar ki bachi-bachaee chizean bhi lakar usamean dal dean?'

good d ne kaha-kabhi nahian. kabhi nahian.

'kyoan- isalie ki ham ghar ko jalana nahian, banana chahate haian. hamean us ghar mean rahana hai. usi mean jina hai. yah vipatti kuchh hamare hi oopar nahian p di hai. sare desh mean yahi hahakar macha hua hai. hamare neta is prashn ko hal karane ki cheshta kar rahe haian. unhian ke sath hamean bhi chalana hai.'

usane ek lanba bhashan kiya par vahi janata jo usaka bhashan sunakar mast ho jati thi, aj udasin baithi thi. usaka samman sabhi karate the, isalie koee oodham n hua, koee bamachakh n macha par janata par koee asar n hua. atmanand is samay janata ka nayak bana hua tha.

sabha bina kuchh nishchay kie uth gee, lekin bahumat kis taraph hai, yah kisi se chhipa n tha.
