kahani

ek samay dakshin disha mean ek vriddh bagh snan karake kushoan ko hath mean lie hue kah raha tha -- he marg ke chalane vale pathikoan ! mere hath mean rakhe hue is suvarn ke kadkan (k da) ko le lo, ise sunakar lalach ke vashibhoot hokar kisi batohi ne (man mean) vichara -- aisi vastu, (suvarn kadk) bhagy se upalabdh hoti hai. parantu ise lene ke liye, bagh ke pas jana uchit nahian, kyoanki isamean pranoan ka sandeh hai.

anisht sthan bagh ityadi se suvarn, kadk sadrish abhisht vastu ke labh ki sanbhavana hote hue bhi kalyan hona nahian ata, kyoanki jis amrit mean jahar ka sanpark hai, vah amrit bhi maut ka karan hai, n ki amarata ka. kiantu dhan paida karane ki sabhi kriyaoan mean sandeh ki sanbhavana rahati hi hai. koee bhi vyakti sandehapoorn kary mean bina pag badhaye kalyan ke darshan mean asamarth hi rahata hai. haan, phir sandahapoorn kary karane par yadi vah jita rahata hai, to kalyan ka darshan karata hai.
is karan se sarvapratham maian isake vaky ke tathy saty, atathy asaty ka parikshan karata hooan. vah uchchasvar mean bolata hai -- kahaan hai tumhara kangan ? bagh hath phaila kar dekhata hai. pathik bola marane vale tum mean kaise vishvas ho?
mujhe itana bhi lobh nahian hai, jisase maian apane hath mean rakhe hue suvarn kangan ko jis kisi rasta chalata aparichit vyakti ko de dena chahata hooan. parantu bagh manushy ko bhakshak hai, is lokapavad ko hataya nahian ja sakata.
aandhaparanpara par chalane vala lok dharm ke vishay mean govadh karane vale brahman ko jaise praman manata hai, vaise upadesh denevali kutthini ko pramanata se svikar nahian karata. arthat sansar kutthini ke vaky ko dharm ke vishay mean praman nahian manata.
he yudhishthir ! jis prakar marupradesh mean vrishti saphal hoti hai, jis prakar bhookh se pi dit ko bhojan dena saphal hota hai, usi tarah daridr ko diya gaya dan saphal hota hai.

prana yathatmanobhishta bhootanamapi te tatha.
atmaupamyen bhootanaan dayaan kurvanti sadhavah.

pran jaise apane lie priy haian, usi tarah any praniyoan ko bhi apane pran priy hoange. is karan se sajjan jivanamatr par daya karate haian.
nishedh mean tatha dan mean, sukh athava du:kh mean, priy evan apriy mean sajjan purush apani tulana se anubhav karata hai, arthat mujhe kisi ne kuchh diya to harsh hota hai, yadi anadar kiya to du:kh hota hai. is tarah maian bhi kisi ko kuchh dooanga to harsh hoga, nishedh karrooanga to du:kh hoga.

matrivatparadareshu, paradravyeshu loshtavath.
atmavath sarvabhooteshu yah pashchati s panditah..

jo purush doosare ki sriyoan ko apani mata ki tarah evan any ke dhan ko mitti ke dhele ke saman tatha pranimatr ko apane saman dekhata hai, vah pandit hai, arthat sat asat ke vivek karane vali buddhi vala hai.

aur chandrama jo akash mean vicharata hai, aandhakar door karata hai, sahastr kiranoan ko dharan karata hai aur nakshatroan mean bich mean chalata hai us chandrama ko bhi bhagy se rahu grast hota hai, isalie jo kuchh bhagy (lalat) mean vidhata ne likh diya hai use kaun mita sakata hai.

yah bat vah soch hi raha tha jab usako bagh ne mar dala aur kha gaya. isi se kaha jata hai kangan ke lobh se ityadi bina vichare kam kabhi nahian karana chahie.
