"are, shankar chaudhari ! o shankar chaudhari !"
"abe kya hai be parasadi ! kyoan raiank raha hai ?"
"o bhaiyaaaa ! tumhare khet mean to rasta ban gaya hai." parasadi ne bataya
"kaisa rasta ? kya matalab ?" shankar chaudhari ne poochha
"areaaa! tumhara khet hai na sadaq ke kinare vala... to jab ane-jane vale s dak par mu date haian to chaurahe tak nahian jate, sidhe hi tumhare khet mean hokar nikal jate haian... matalab ki 's aaut kat' marake... tumhare khet ki to phasal kharab huee ja rahi hai... bich khet mean tirachha rasta ban gaya hai... sab gehooan kharab ho rahe haian aur tumhean tas khelane se phursat nahian hai...?" parasadi ne ulahana diya.
"unaki itani himmat ! apane bap ka khet samajh rakha hai kya? maian abhi jakar dekhata hooan" shankar ko tav a gaya
"shankar bhaiya! ek bi di ke bandal aur machis ke paise to dedo ?" parasadi ne apani 'riportiang fis' turant maang li.
shankar apane khet ki mean d par jakar baith gaya aur khet ke bich se hokar jane valoan ko rokane laga. logoan ko sabaq sikhane ke lie, unhean khet mean ghusane se pahale hi nahian rokata tha balki pahale to rahagir ko adhe raste tak chala jane deta tha phir use avaz dekar vapas bulata aur kan pak dava kar uthak-baithak karavata aur hidayat deta-
"ab samajh mean aya ki mere khet mean se hokar jane ka kya matalab hai... khabaradar jo kabhi mere khet mean pair rakha to haanaaa . chal bhag..."
gaanv ke log shankar se darate the, isalie chupachap saza bhugat kar aur galiyaan sunakar chale jate.
kuchh der bad shankar ne dekha ki gaanv ka naee 'madari' udhar se ja raha hai. shankar ne avaz lagaee-
"madariaaao madariaaa"
"aya sarakar! kya khitamat karooan chaudhari sab, bal banavane haian?"
"haan mere bal bana de. saphachatt karade mera sar. mujhe ab chaand ganji rakhani hai. vo kahate haian na ki-
mooand mudae tin gun, sir ki mit jay khaj .
khane ko laddoo milean, log kahean maharaj .."
"ji sarakar!"
itana kahakar madari, ustare se, shankar ke bal saf karane laga.
ustare se sir ke bal safachat karane ke lie gaanvoan mean ek prachalit paddhati hai ki pahale to samane se adhe sir ke bal saf kie jate haian aur bad mean pichhale sir ke. jab 'farst haf' chal raha hota hai to bal katavane vale ka sir jhuka rahata hai.
thik vahi halat shankar ki thi. jab age ke sir ke bal saf ho gaye to shankar ne sir uthaya to dekhata hai ki ek ghu dasavar usake khet se hokar ja raha hai. use dekhakar shankar ne avaz lagaee-
"abe oaaa! ruk ja! tere bap ka khet hai kya? chal vapas laut... jaldi laut....
ghu dasavar adhe raste tak pahuanch chuka tha, usane gho da rok kar avaz dekar shankar ko bataya-
"chaudhari sahab ! maian adhe khet ko to par kar chuka hooan. ab yahian se gho da vapas lautauanga to gho de ki vajah se apaki fasal aur kharab hogi, isase achchha hai ki maian sidha hi nikal jaooan, age se dhyan rakhooanga aur idhar se nahian aooanga...?"
lekin shankar ko to bat jami nahian aur vo bhag kar ghu dasavar ke pas pahuancha aur usane 'too aise nahian manega' kahate hue ghu dasavar ka pair pak d kar use gho de se girana chaha, lekin ghu dasavar ne gho de par baithe-baithe hi shankar ke sine mean ek zoradar lat mari, jisase shankar gir gaya. isake bad ghu dasavar ne niche utar kar shankar ke pair hava mean karake usaka muanh zamin mean rag d diya aur 'too kya samajhata hai ? too hi chaudhari hai... maian bhi to chaudhari hooan...' kahata hua chala gaya.
shankar ke sir aur chehare par khet ka sookha ret buri tarah se chipak gaya tha, sir samane ki taraf se saf tha aur pichhe ke adhe sir par bal the. shankar apana muanh saf karata hua vapas madari ke pas pahuancha.
madari ne aisa vyavahar kiya jaise ki usane poora ghatana kram dekha hi n ho.
"kya bat ho gee chaudhari sab ! kya kah raha tha vo?"
"abe yar madari! ye to koee ganvar nikala..."shankar dhool jha date hue baith gaya aur madari usake bache hue bal saf karane laga.
"thik kah rahe haian sarakar, duniya ganvaroan se bhari p di hai...."
aie vapas chalean-
ek purani kahavat hai ki
"amadani kam, kharcha jyada,
bhagoge...
taqat kam, gussa jyada,
pitoge..."
jab tak shankar se kamazor log saza pa rahe the, tab tak to sab kuchh thik tha, jab shankar ki pitaee huee to shankar ko vah adami anapadh aur asabhy laga. jis tarah ki ham jangali janavaroan ko pianjare mean rakhakar apana manoranjan karate haian to vah hamari manushyata hai ! aur vahi janavar jab apani bhookh mitane ya apani raksha karane ke lie hamare oopar hamala karata hai to hamean vah pashuta lagati hai! jabaki janavaroan ko pianjare mean rakhana, janavar ki pashuta se adhik pashuta hai.
ham kitana bhi chhipaean lekin hamare aandar anek roop chhipe rahate haian jo desh, kal aur paristhiti ki avashyakatanusar prakat aur aantaradhan hote rahate haian. ham sabhi bahuroopie haian aur jo jitana b da bahuroopiya hai, vah is samaj mean utana hi adhik saphal aur upayogi hai.
samaj ko matr 'sabhy' log chahie. ve 'bhadr' haian ya nahian, isase samaj ko koee lena-dena nahian hai. jabaki bhadr hona hi sahi mayane mean iansan hona hai. 'sabhy' hona asan hai lekin 'bhadr' hona mushkil hai. sabhy jan ve haian jo samaj ke samane sabhyata se pesh ate haian aur 'bhadr jan' ? bhadrata kya hai, kaun hota hai bhadr ? hamean sabhy hona chahie ya bhadr bhi? kya keval sabhy hone se kam nahian chal sakata?
aie is par charcha karate haian-
jaisa ki maianne oopar kaha ki 'sabhy' to ve haian jo samaj mean, sadha hua-sikha hua ek aisa vyavahar karate haian, jisase yah man liya jata hai ki 'haan yah vyakti sabhy hai... samaj mean rahane ke layaq hai... ise samaj mean uthana-baithana ata hai'.
'bhadr' vah hai, jo ekant mean bhi sabhy hai, jo shaktishali hone par bhi sabhy hai, jo apatakal mean bhi sabhy hai, jo abhav mean bhi sabhy hai, jo bhookh mean bhi sabhy hai, jo kripa karate hue bhi sabhy hai, jo apamanit hone par bhi sabhy hai, jo vidvan hone par bhi sabhy hai, jo nirakshar hone par bhi sabhy hai...
ekant ki sabhyata kya hogi? jis tarah dharm aur jati kisi doosare ki upasthiti mean hi astitv mean ate haian usi tarah sabhyata bhi kisi doosare ke ane par hi janm leti hai. ekant ki sabhyata kya ho sakati hai? yah vah sthiti hai jahaan ham sochate haian- 'yahaan kaun dekh raha hai mujhe... aisa karane mean kya buraee hai?' jaise hi ham aisa sochate haian, vaise hi ham abhadr ho jate haian.
ek udaharan-
jis tarah shrimadbhagavath gita hai, ashtavakr gita hai, vaise hi ek 'raktagita' bhi hai-
ek sadhu jangal mean kutiya bana kar akela rahata tha. ek bar sham ke samay ek navavivahit jo da vahaan rasta bhatak kar a gaya aur sadhu se rat guzarane ki ajna maangi.
sadhu ne kaha-
"tum yahaan rat to guzar lo, lekin kutiya ka daravaza aandar se band kar lo. maian yahaan se ja raha hooan rat ko lautooanga nahian. tum kisi ke lie daravaza mat kholana... rat mean yadi maian bhi daravaza khulavaooan to mere lie bhi nahian..."
"ap ke lie bhi nahian, lekin ap ke lie kyoan nahian?" yatri ne poochha.
"haan mere lie bhi mat kholana... kyoan ki is jangal mean ek mayavi rakshas rahata hai, vah kisi ka bhi bhes badal leta hai aur avaz bana leta hai, yadi vah yahaan aega to mere hi chehare aur avaz ke sath aega, vah bahut khataranak hai, lekin chinta mat karo, vah is mazaboot daravaze ko nahian to d paega, isalie tum surakshit ho, jab tak ki tum daravaza band rakhate ho." itana kahakar sadhu jangal ki or chala gaya. dampatti ne daravaza band kar liya aur so ge.
sadhu bahut samajhadar aur anubhavi tha. vah janata tha ki buddhi bhrasht hone par kya bhayankar parinam ho sakate haian. aisa nahian hai ki use apane sanyam par bharosa n tha, lekin vah kisi prakar ka koee jokhim nahian uthana chahata tha. vah janata tha ki apane oopar bharosa karane se achchha hai kisi bhi viparit paristhiti ko banane se pahale hi rok diya jay.
sadhu ko jis bat ka dar tha, hua bhi vahi. rat mean sadhu ka sanyam toot gaya aur usake man mean navavivahita ka suandar chehara ghoomane laga. usane kee bar daravaza khatakhataya aur use khulavane ki vinati ki lekin navavivahit jo de ne daravaza nahian khola. har kar sadhu ne kaha-
"yahaan koee rakshas nahian hai, yah maianne jhooth-mooth ko kah diya tha, yah to maian hi hooan, daravaza kholo....!"
"ham daravaza nahian kholeange kyoanki sadhu maharaj ne mana kiya hai... tum chale jao."
jab daravaza nahian khula to sadhu ne use to dane ki koshish ki lekin vah toota nahian. isake bad sadhu chhat par chadh gaya aur khaparail mean chhed karake aandar kooda. is prakriya mean sadhu ke jaangh mean khaparail ki chhat ka nukila baans ghus gaya aur gahare ghav se khoon bahane laga. gahare zakhm aur bhayankar pi da ke karan sadhu ka aveg samapt ho gaya. usane dampatti se kshama yachana ki aur apane rakt (khoon) se hi yah poora ghatana kram likha. isilie isaka nam rakt gita p da.
rakt gita ka sadhu donoan hi pakshoan mean khara utarata hai. vah sabhy bhi tha aur bhadr bhi. sabhy isalie ki usane dampatti ko rat guzarane ka asara diya aur bhadr isalie ki apane ekant ke 'asadhu' se unhean bachane ke upay batae aur bachaya bhi.
hamare bhitar n jane kitane roop chhipe hote haian, jo samay-samay par apani bhoomika nibhate haian. ek vyakti, beta ya beti ke roop mean kuchh aur hi hai aur usi vyakti ko jab pita ya maan ke roop mean dekhate haian to kuchh aur hi pate haian. samanyat: adami apane sarvashreshth roop mean tab hota hai jab vah 'pita' ho aur aurat ke lie yah roop 'maan' ka hai.
apane premi ya premika ke lie ham kisi bhi any roop se ekadam chhalaang laga kar bhole-bhale aur masoom ban jate haian. yadi ek riang mastar jo sarkas mean janavaroan par ko de barasa raha ho aur tabhi usaki premika a jay to... ? ekadam se riangamastar ke chehare par komalata ke bhav a jayeange aur vah ko de barasane mean sahaj nahian rah paega. sara din dukan par jhooth-sach bolane vala koee dukanadar jab apane bachchoan ke lie ch aaukalet lekar ghar pahuanchata hai to koee aandaza bhi nahian kar sakata ki ye vahi adami hai jo behad chalaqi se apani dukan par saman bechata hai.
bachh doan ki gardan par chaqoo chalane vala qasaee jab pyar se apane bete-beti ki gardan sahalata hai to use dhyan bhi nahian ata ki kitani gardan vo rozana katata hai kyoanki us samay vo kisi doosari bhoomika mean hota hai.
log apane vastavik jivan mean anek bhoomikaean karate rahate haian, unake vastavik roop ko pahachan pana b da hi mushkil hai, lagabhag asanbhav... lekin aisa kyoan hai ? kabhi kisi janavar ko pahachan pana to mushkil nahian hota. ek prajati ke sabhi janavar ek jaisa hi vyavahar karate haian, bahut kam aantar hota hai unake vyavahar mean. billiyaan sab ek jaisi haian, kutte sab ek jaise haian, gay sab ek jaisi haian... to phir manushy hi aise haian kya, jo ek jaise nahian haian!
asal bat yah hai ki, haian to manushy bhi sab ek jaise hi lekin unaki sabhyata ka map alag hai. manushy ke mastishk ne alag-alag tarah se vikasit aur poshit hokar manushy ko 'pashuta' se bhinn bana diya hai. kisi manushy ko kya sikhaya gaya, yah mahatv nahian rakhata balki usane kya sikha, mahattvapoorn yah hai. ham do bachchoan ko ek hi kaksha mean, ek hi shiksha dete haian, lekin parinam bhinn pate haian. kisi anushasan ka asar bhi bachchoan par bhinn hi hota hai aur yah asar samay-samay par badalata bhi rahata hai.
apako is tarah ki bat kahate log aksar mil jaeange-
- "mere maan-bap ne mujhe behad la d-pyar se pala, jisake karan maian barabad ho gaya."
- "meri maan ya pita ne mujhe kathor anushasan mean rakha. isi karan maian aj ek saphal vyakti hooan."
- "mere tichar ka vo chaanta mujhe ab tak yad hai aur us chaante ne meri zindagi badal di aur maianne khoob padhaee ki aur saphal hua."
- "mere tichar ne mujhe chaanta mara aur phir maian kabhi skool nahian gaya."
- "mere pita ko sharab ne barabad kiya, isalie maian sharab nahian pita."
- "mere pita bhi sharab se hi barabad hue aur maian bhi."
ajib bat hai? har ek ghatana pratyek vyakti par alag asar dalati hai aur kabhi-kabhi to ek hi vyakti par ek hi ghatana alag-alag samay par alag asar dalati hai.
sabhyata ka aur bhadrata ka bhi vahi masala hai. ise ham aise kah sakate haian ki sabhyata odhi jati hai aur bhadrata dharan ki jati hai. sabhyata dimag mean hoti hai aur bhadrata man mean. sabhyata vyavahar mean hoti hai aur bhadrata svabhav mean. sabhyata chetana mean hi rahati hai aur bhadrata achetan mean bhi. sabhyata samaj mean hoti hai aur bhadrata svayan mean.
mashahoor shayar nida fazali sahab ki ki do panktiyaan dekhie
har adami mean hote haian, das-bis adami
jab bhi kisi ko dekhana kee bar dekhana...
is bar itana hi... agali bar kuchh aur...
