is lekh ka punarikshan evan sampadan hona avashyak hai. ap isamean sahayata kar sakate haian. "sujhav"

amarakant ke jivan mean ek nee sh‍phoorti ka sanchar hone laga. ab tak gharavaloan ne usake harek kam ki avahelana hi ki thi. sabhi usaki lagam khianchate rahate the. gho de mean n vah dam raha, n vah utsah lekin ab ek prani badhava deta tha usaki gardan par hath pherata tha. jahaan upeksha, ya adhik-se-adhik shushk udasinata thi, vahaan ab ek ramani ka protsahan tha, jo parvatoan ko hila sakata hai, murdoan ko zila sakata hai. usaki sadhan, jo bandhanoan mean p dakar sankuchit ho gee thi, prem ka ashray pakar prabal aur ugr ho gee hai apane aandar aisi atmashakti usane kabhi n paee thi. sakina apane premasrot se usaki sadhan ko sianchati rahati hai yah svayan apani raksha nahian kar sakati par usaka prem usrrishi ka varadan hai jo ap bhiksha maangakar bhi doosaroan par vibhootiyoan ki varsha karata hai. amar bina kisi prayojan ke sakina ke pas nahian jata. usamean vah uprandata bhi nahian rahi. samay aur avasar dekhakar kam karata hai. jin vrikshoan ki j dean gahari hoti haian, unhean bar-bar sianchane ki zaroorat nahian hoti. vah zamin se hi ardrata khianchakar badhate aur phalate-phoolate haian. sakina aur amar ka prem vahi vriksh hai. use sajag rakhane ke lie bar-bar milane ki zaroorat nahian.

digri ki pariksha huee par amarakant usamean baitha nahian. adhayapakoan ko vishvas tha, use chhatravritti milegi. yahaan tak ki d aau. shantikumar ne bhi use bahut samajhaya par vah apani zid par a da raha. jivan ko saphal banane ke lie shiksha ki zaroorat hai, digri ki nahian. hamari digri hai-hamara seva-bhav, hamari namrata, hamare jivan ki saralata. agar yah digri nahian mili, agar hamari atma jagrit nahian huee, to kagaz ki digri vyarth hai. use is shiksha hi se ghrina ho gee thi. jab vah apane adhayapakoan ko t़yooshan ki gulami karate, svarth ke lie nak rag date, kam-se-kam karake adhik-se-adhik labh ke lie hath pasarate dekhata, to use ghor manasik vedana hoti thi, aur inhian mahanubhavoan ke hath mean rasht' ki bagador hai. yahi kaum ke vidhata haian. inhean isaki paravah nahian ki bharat ki janata do ane paisoan par gujar karati hai. ek sadharan adami ko sal-bhar mean pachas se zyada nahian milate. hamare adhayapakoan ko pachas rupaye roj chahie. tab amar ko us atit ki yad ati, jab hamare gurujan jhoanp doan mean rahate the, svarth se alag, lobh se door, satvik jivan ke adarsh, nishkam seva ke upasak. vah rasht' se kam-se-kam lekar adhik-se-adhik dete the. vah vastav mean devata the aur ek yah adhayapak haian, jo kisi aansh mean bhi ek mamooli vyapari ya rajy-karmachari se pichhe nahian. inamean bhi vahi danbh hai, vahi dhan-mad hai, vahi adhikar-mad hai. hamare vidyalay kya haian, rajy ke vibhag haian, aur hamare adhayapak usi rajy ke aansh haian. ye khud aandhakar mean p de hue haian, prakash kya phailaeange- ve ap apane manovikaroan ke kaidi haian, ap apani ichchhaoan ke gulam haian, aur apane shishyoan ko bhi usi kaid aur gulami mean dalate haian. amar ki yuvak-kalpana phir atit ka svapn dekhane lagati. paristhatiyoan ko vah bilakul bhool jata. usake kalpit rasht' ke karmachari seva ke putale hote, adhayapak jhoanpadi mean rahane vale balkaladhari, kandamool-phal-bhogi sannyasi, janata dvesh aur lobh se rahit, n yah ae din ke tante, n bakhe de. itani adalatoan ki zaroorat kya- yah b de-b de mahakame kisalie- aisa maloom hota hai, gariboan ki lash nochane vale giroh ka samooh hai. jisake pas jitani hi b di digri hai, usaka svarth bhi utana hi badha hua hai. mano lobh aur svarth hi vidvata ka lakshan hai gariboan ko rotiyaan mayassar n hoan, kap doan ko tarasate hoan, par hamare shikshit bhaiyoan ko motar chahie, bangala chahie, naukaroan ki ek palatan chahie. is sansar ko agar manushy ne racha hai to anyayi hai, eeshvar ne racha hai to use kya kahean .

yahi bhavanaean amar ke aantasthal mean laharoan ki bhaanti uthati rahati thian.

vah prat:kal uthakar shantikumar ke sevashram mean pahuanch jata aur dopahar tak vahaan l dakoan ko padhata rahata. pathashala d aauktar sahab ke bangale mean thi. nau baje tak d aauktar sahab bhi padhate the. phis bilakul n li jati thi phir bhi l dake bahut kam ate the. sarakari skooloan mean jahaan phis aur jurmane aur chandoan ki bharamar rahati thi, l dakoan ko baithane ki jagah n milati thi. yahaan koee jhaankata bhi n tha. mushkil se do-dhaee sau l dake ate the. chhote-chhote bhole-bhale nishkapat balakoan ka kaise svabhavik vikas ho kaise ve sahasi, santoshi, sevashil nagarik ban sakean, yahi mukhy uddeshy tha. sauandary-bodha jo manav-prakriti ka pradhan aang hai, kaise dooshit vatavaran se alag rahakar apani poornata pae, sangharsh ki jagah sahanubhooti ka vikas kaise ho, donoan mitr yahi sochate rahate the. unake pas shiksha ki koee bani-banaee pranali n thi. uddeshy ko samane rakhakar hi vah sadhanoan ki vyavastha karate the. adarsh mahapurushoan ke charitr, seva aur tyag ki kathaean, bhakti aur prem ke pad, yahi shiksha ke adhar the. unake do sahayogi aur the. ek atmanand sannyasi the, jo sansar se virakt hokar seva mean jivan sarthak karana chahate the, doosare ek sangit ke achary the, jinaka nam tha brajanath. in donoan sahayogiyoan ke a jane se shala ki upayogita bahut badh gee thi.

ek din amar ne shantikumar se kaha-ap akhir kab tak prohresari karate chale jaeange- jis sanstha ko ham j d se katana chahate haian, usi se chimate rahana to apako shobha nahian deta .

shantikumar ne muskarakar kaha-maian khud yahi soch raha hooan bhee par sochata hooan, rupaye kahaan se aeange- kuchh kharch nahian hai, to bhi paanch sau mean to sandeh hai hi nahian.

'ap isaki chianta n kijie. kahian-n-kahian se rupaye a hi jaeange. phir rupaye ki zaroorat kya hai?'

'makan ka kiraya hai, l dakoan ke lie kitabean haian, aur bisoan hi kharch haian. kya-kya ginaooan?'

'ham kisi vriksh ke niche to l dakoan ko padha sakate haian.'

'tum adarsh ki dhun mean vyavaharikata ka bilakul vichar nahian karate. kora adarshavad khayali pulav hai.'

amar ne chakit hokar kaha-maian to samajhata tha, ap bhi adarshavadi haian.

shantikumar ne mano is chot ko dhal par rokakar kaha-mere adarshavad mean vyavaharikata ka bhi sthan hai.

'isaka arth yah hai ki ap gu d khate haian, gulagule se parahej karate haian.'

'jab tak mujhe rupaye kahian se milane n lagean, tumhian socho, maian kis adhar par naukari ka parityag kar dooan- pathashala maianne kholi hai. isake sanchalane ka dayitv mujh par hai. isake band ho jane par meri badanami hogi. agar tum isake sanchalan ka koee sthayi prabandh kar sakate ho, to maian aj istipha de sakata hooan lekin bina kisi adhar ke maian kuchh nahian kar sakata. maian itana pakka adarshavadi nahian hooan.'

amarakant ne abhi sidhdaant se samajhauta karana n sikha tha. karyakshetr mean kuchh din rah jane aur sansar ke kaduve anubhav ho jane ke bad hamari prakriti mean jo dhilapan a jata hai, us paristhiti mean vah n p da tha. navadikshitoan ko sidhdaant mean jo atal bhakti hoti hai vah usamean bhi thi. d aauktar sahab mean use jo shradhda thi, use zor ka dhakka laga. use maloom hua ki yah keval batoan ke vir haian, kahate kuchh haian karate kuchh haian. jisaka khule shabdoan mean yah ashay hai ki yah sansar ko dhokha dete haian. aise manushy ke sath vah kaise sahayog kar sakata hai-

usane jaise dhamaki di-to ap istipha nahian de sakate-

'us vakt tak nahian, jab tak dhan ka koee prabandh n ho.'

'to aisi dasha mean maian yahaan kam nahian kar sakata.'

d aauktar sahab ne namrata se kaha-dekho amarakant, mujhe sansar ka tumase zyada tajurba hai, mera itana jivan ne-ne parikshanoan mean hi gujara hai. maianne jo tath‍v nikala hai, yah hai ki hamara jivan samajhaute par tika hua hai. abhi tum mujhe jo chahe samajho par ek samay aega, jab tumhari aankhean khuleangi aur tumhean maloom hoga ki jivan mean yatharth ka mahath‍v adarsh se jau-bhar bhi kam nahian.

amar ne jaise akash mean u date hue kaha-maidan mean mar jana maidan chho d dene se kahian achchha hai. aur usi vakt vahaan se chal diya.

pahale salim se muthabhe d huee. salim is shala ko madari ka tamasha kaha karata tha, jahaan jadoo ki lak di chhua dene hi se mitti sona ban jati hai. vah eme ki taiyari kar raha tha. usaki abhilasha thi koee achchha sarakari pad pa jae aur chain se rahe. sudhar aur sangathan aur rashh‍triy aandolan se use vishesh prem n tha. usane yah khabar suni to khush hokar kaha-tumane bahut achchha kiya, nikal ae. maian d aauktar sahab ko khoob janata hooan, vah un logoan mean haian, jo doosaroan ke ghar mean ag lagakar apana hath seankate haian. kaum ke nam par jan dete haian, magar jaban se.

sukhada bhi khush huee. amar ka shala ke pichhe pagal ho jana use n sohata tha. d aauktar sahab se use chidh thi. vahi amar ko uangaliyoan par nacha rahe haian. unhian ke pher mean p dakar amar ghar se udasin ho gaya hai.

par jab sandhh‍ya samay amar ne sakina se zikr kiya, to usane d aauktar ka paksh liya-maian samajhati hooan, d aauktar sahab ka khayal thik hai. bhookhe pet khuda ki yad bhi nahian ho sakata. jisake sir roji ki fikr savar hai, vah kaum ki kya khidamat karega, aur karega to amanat mean khayanat karega. adami bhookha nahian rah sakata. phir madarase ka kharch bhi to hai. mana ki darakhtoan ke niche hi madarasa lage lekin vah bag kahaan hai- koee aisi jagah to chahie hi jahaan l dake baithakar padh sakean. l dakoan ko kitabean, kagaz chahie, baithane ko garsh chahie, dol-rassi chahie. ya to chande se ae, ya koee kamakar de. socho, jo adami apane usool ke khilag naukari karake ek kam ki buniyad dalata hai vah usake lie kitani kurabani kar raha hai tum apane vakt ki kurabani karate ho. vah apane jamir tak ki kurabani kar deta hai. maian to aise adami ko kahian zyada ijjat ke layaq samajhati hooan.

pathanin ne kaha-tum is chhokari ki batoan mean n a jana beta, jakar ghar ka dhandha dekho, jisase grihasthi ka nirvah ho. yah sailanipan un logoan ko chahie, jo ghar ke nikhattoo haian. tumhean allah ne ijjat di hai, martaba diya hai, bal-bachche die haian. tum in khuragatoan mean n p do.

amar ko ab topiyaan bechane se phursat mil gee thi. budhiya ko renukadevi ke dvara chikan ka kam itana zyada mil jata tha ki topiyaan kaun kadhata- salim ke ghar se koee-n-koee kam ata hi rahata tha. usake jarie se aur gharoan se bhi kafi kam mil jata tha. sakina ke ghar mean kuchh khushahali najar ati thi. ghar ki putaee ho gee thi, dvar par naya parada p d gaya tha, do khatean nee a gee thian, khatoan par dariyaan bhi nee thian, kee baratan ne a ge the. kap de-latto ki bhi koee shikayat n thi. urdoo ka ek akhabar bhi khat par rakha hua tha. pathanin ko apane achchhe dinoan mean bhi isase zyada samri' in huee thi. bas, use agar koee gam tha, to yah ki sakina shadi karane par raji n hoti thi.

amar yahaan se chala, to apani bhool par lajjit tha. sakina ke ek hi vaky ne usake man ki sari shanka shaant kar di thi. d aauktar sahab se usaki shradhda phir utani hi gahari ho gee thi. sakina ki budhdimattaa, vichar-saushthav, soojh aur nirbhikata ne to chakit aur mugdh kar diya tha. sakina usaka parichay jitana hi gahara hota tha, utana hi usaka asar bhi gahara hota tha. sukhada apani pratibha aur garima se us par shasan karati thi. vah shasan use apriy tha. sakina apani namrata aur madhurata se us par shasan karati thi. vah shasan use priy tha. sukhada mean adhikar ka garv tha. sakina mean samarpan ki dinata thi. sukhada apane ko pati se budhdimanh aur kushal samajhati thi. sakina samajhati thi, maian inake age kya hooan-

d aauktar sahab ne muskarakar poochha-to tumhara yahi nishchay hai ki maian istipha de dooan- vastav mean maianne istipha likh rakha hai aur kal de dooanga. tumhara sahayog maian nahian kho sakata. maian akela kuchh bhi n kar sakooanga. tumhare jane ke bad maianne thande dil se socha to maloom hua, maian vyarth ke moh mean p da hua hooan. svami dayanand ke pas kya tha jab unhoanne aryasamaj ki buniyad dali-

amarakant bhi muskaraya-nahian, maianne thande dil se socha to maloom hua ki maian galati par tha. jab tak rupaye ka koee maqool iantajam n ho jae, apako istipha dene ki zaroorat nahian.

d aauktar sahab ne vismay se kaha-tum vyangy kar rahe ho-

'nahian, maianne apase beadabi ki thi use kshama kijie.'
