n jane kitani purani bat hai ki n jane kis rajy mean vir nam ka ek yuvak rahata tha. ek bar vir ko doosare rajy mean kisi kam se jana p da aur durbhagy se vir vahaan ek jhoothe aparadh mean phans gaya. gavahoan ki gair maujoodagi ke karan raja ne use phaansi ka huqm suna diya aur munadi karava di gee-
"har khas-o-am ko soochit kiya jata hai ki aparadhi vir ko thik ek mahine bad...yane poornamasi ke din... hamare rajy ki pratha ke anusar... praja ke samane... sarvajanik roop se phaansi par latakaya jaegaaaa ."
jel mean band vir bahut pareshan tha. use pareshan dekhakar paharedar ne kaha-
"phaansi ki saza se tum pareshan ho ge ho. ab marana to hai hi... aram se khao-pio aur mast raho"
"mujhe apane marane ki chinta nahian hai. meri pareshani kuchh aur hai... kya mujhe jel se kuchh din ki chhutti mil sakati hai ?"
"jel se chhutti ? ye koee naukari hai kya, jo chhutti mil jaegi?... lekin bat kya hai, kahaan jana hai tumhean chhutti lekar ?"
"meri maan andhi hai aur ghar par akeli hai. mujhe usake shesh jivan ka poora prabandh karane ke lie jana hai jisase mere marane ke bad use koee kasht n ho. usaka sara prabandh karake maian ek mahine ke bhitar hi laut aooanga.... kya koee tariqa... kya koee qanoon aisa nahian hai ki mujhe kuchh dinoan ki chhutti mil jay ?"
"dekho bhaee ! tum padhe-likhe aur sajjan adami maloom hote ho... tumhari samasya ko maian rajy ke mantri tak pahuanchava dooanga... bas itana hi maian tumhare lie kar sakata hooan."
agale din paharedar ne bataya-
"sirf ek tariqa hai ki tum chhutti ja sako...?"
"vo kya ?"
"agar tumhari jagah koee aur yahaan jel mean band ho jay... jisase ki agar tum nahian laute to tumhari jagah use phaansi de di jay...sirf yahi tariqa hai... lekin kabhi aisa hua nahian hai kyoanki koee bhi kisi ki phaansi ki zamanat tho de hi deta hai."
"ap mere gaanv se mere dost dhir ko bulava dijie... meharabani karake jaldi use bulava dean"
"pagal ho kya ! koee dost-vost nahian hota aise mauqe ke lie..."
"ap use khabar to karavaie..."
vir aur dhir ki dosti sare ilaqe mean mashahoor thi. log unaki dosti ki qasamean khaya karate the. jaise hi dhir ko khabar mili vo bhaga-bhaga aya aur vir ko jel se chhutti mil gee.
dhire-dhire din guzarane lage, vir nahian lauta aur n hi usaki koee khabar aee. dhir ke chehare par koee chinta ke bhav nahian the balki vah to rozana khoob kasarat karata aur jamakar khana khata. paharedar usase kahate ki vir ab vapas nahian aega to dhir hansakar tal jata. is tarah phaansi mean keval ek din shesh rah gaya, tab sabhi ne dhir ko samajhaya ki use moorkh banaya gaya hai.
"ap log nahian janate vir ko... yadi vah jivit hai to nishchit lautega... chahe soory poorab ke bajay pachchhim se uge... lekin vir avashy lautega. ek bat aur hai, jisaka pata ap logoan ko nahian hai. maianne use yah kahakar bheja hai ki vah kabhi vapas n laute aur mujhe hi phaansi lagane de... magar maian janata hooan use, vo nalayaq zaroor lautega, meri bat manega hi nahian !"
jab sabane yah suna ki khud dhir ne hi vir se lautane ke lie mana kar diya hai to raja ko soochana de di gee.
poornamasi a gee aur phaansi ka din bhi.... apar bhi d ekatr ho gee, is vichitr phaansi ko dekhane ke lie. jisamean kisi ke badale mean koee aur phaansi par chadh raha tha. svayan raja bhi vahaan upasthit tha. phaansi lagane hi vali thi ki vahaan vir pahuanch gaya.
"rokie phaansi ! phaansi to mujhako di jani hai... maian a gaya hooan ab... mujhe dijie phaansi" - vir bola,
"nahian ye samay par nahian laut paya hai, isalie phaansi to ab mujhe lagegi... mujhe !" dhir chillaya,
is tarah donoan jhag dane lage. janata ke sath-sath raja ko bhi bahut ashchary ho raha tha ki ye donoan dost phaansi par chadhane ke lie l d-jhag d rahe haian ?
"lekin tum itani der se kyoan laute ?" raja ne poochha.
"maharaj ! maianne to apani maan ke lie sara intazam ek saptah mean hi kar diya tha aur use samajha bhi diya tha ki ab usaka dhyan dhir hi rakhega. jab maian vapas laut raha tha to luteroan se meri muthabhe d ho gee. maian 15 din ghayal aur besudh p da raha. jaise hi mujhe hosh aya, maian bhaga-bhaga yahaan aya hooan."
raja ne kaha "ab to tum donoan ko hi saza di jaegi... lekin vo phaansi nahian balki hamare rajadarabar mean naukari karane ki saza hogi... tum donoan bemisal dost ho aur eemanadar bhi... aj se tum donoan hamare rajadarabar ki shobha badhaoge"
ye to thi mitrata ki ek purani kahani, mitrata aur shatruta ka apasi rishta bahut gahara hai. mitrata, barabar valoan mean hoti hai aur is 'barabar' ka sanbandh paise ki barabari se nahian hai, yah barabari kisi aur hi dharatal par hoti hai. isi karan hamare 'star' ki pahachan hamare dostoan se hoti hai. yahi bat shatruta par bhi lagoo hoti hai. hamare shatru jis star ke haian, hamara bhi star vahi hota hai.
yoonan ke samrat sikandar se kisi ne kaha-
"apake bare mean suna hai ki ap bahut tez dau d sakate haian. kisi dau d mean ap hissa kyoan nahian lete ?"
"jab samratoan ki dau d hogi to sikandar bhi dau dega." sikandar ka uttar tha.
isi tarah 'nepoliyan bonapart' se ek pahalavan ne kaha-
"apaki bahaduri mashahoor hai, mujhase kushti l dakar mujhe hara kar dikhaie !"
"tumase mera aangarakshak l dega... jo tumase doguna taqatavar hai. usake samane tum ek minit bhi nahian tik paoge. mujhe apani bahaduri ke lie 'tumhare' pramanapatr ki nahian balki yoorop ki janata ke vishvas ki zaroorat hai."
mitrata ka koee 'prakar' nahian hota ki is prakar ki mitrata ya us prakar ki, jabaki shatruta ke bahut sare 'prakar' haian. jaise- rajanitik shatruta, vyaparik shatruta, eershya-jany shatruta adi kee tarah ki shatruta ho sakati haian. shatruta ke bare mean yah bhi kaha ja sakata hai ki shatruta kam ho gee ya badh gee. mitrata kam ya adhik nahian hoti, ya to hoti hai ya nahian hoti. jab ham yah kahate haian "usase hamari utani dosti ab nahian rahi..." to ham sahi nahian kah rahe hote. vastav mean dosti samapt ho chuki hoti hai. isi tarah 'gahari mitrata' jaisi koee sthiti nahian hoti. dosti aur dushmani mean ek farq yah bhi hota ki dosti 'ho' jati hai aur dushmani 'ki' jati hai.
mitrata aur shatruta ke sanbandh mean gita kya kahati hai ?
gita mean do shlok hai-
sam: shatrau ch mitre ch tatha manapamanayo: .
shitoshnasukhadu:kheshu sam: sangnavivarjit: .. (gita adhyay-12 shlok-18)
manapamanayostulyastulyo mitraripakshayo: .
sarvarambhaparityagi gunatit: s uchyate .. (gita adhyay-14 shlok-25)
samany bhavarth ko hi samajhean to in shlokoan ka matalab hai ki buddhiman ke lie n koee mitr hai aur n koee shatru hai. n koee man hai, n koee apaman hai.
aisa kaise ho sakata hai ki n koee mitr hai aur n koee shatru hai ? n koee man hai, n koee apaman hai ! mitr to mitr hota hai, shatru to shatru hota hai. jo mitr hai, vah shatru kaise ho sakata hai aur jo shatru hai, vah mitr kaise ho sakata hai ? isi tarah yadi koee hamean apamanit karata hai to bura lagata hai. koee samman deta hai to achchha lagata hai. ye kaise sambhav hai ki n koee apaman hai aur n koee man hai. gita mean is shlok ka arth kya hai ?
ek udaharan dekhean-
chanaky aur rakshas ki shatruta vishvavikhyat hai. chandragupt ke samrat banane ke bad chanaky ne mahamaty ke pad se seva nivritt hokar vapas takshashila jakar adhyapan kary karana chaha to chandragupt ne poochha-
"amaty ! apaki anupasthiti mean apaka kary kaun sanbhalega ? magadh ka rajy, chanaky jaise mahamaty ke bina kaise chal paega ?"
"rakshas banega mahamaty ! usase adhik yogy aur nishthavan koee doosara nahian hai." chanaky ne uttar diya.
"rakshas ? kintu vah to apaka shatru hai ?"
"vah mera shatru nahian hai varanh vah to dhananand ka svamibhakt tha, jo ki usaka samrat tha. rakshas ki yogyata mean koee kami nahian thi, sari kamiyaan nand mean thian. jab rakshas tumhara mantri banega to usaki nishtha tumhare prati rahegi"
chandragupt ko chanaky ne samajha diya lekin samasya yah thi ki rakshas lapata tha. usako khojane ke lie chanaky ne usake ek mitr ko sarvajanik phaansi dene ki munadi karava di. rakshas svayan ko rok n saka aur apane mitr ko bachane ke lie chhadm vesh se pratyaksh mean a gaya. chanaky ne rakshas ke mitr ko is shart par jivan dan de diya ki rakshas ko chandragupt ka mahamantri banana hoga. isake bad chanaky takshashila chala gaya.
yadi do mitr ek hi kary kshetr mean prayas karate haian. ek ko saphalata milati hai, ek ko nahian milati. nishchit roop se unamean eershya ho jayegi aur unamean ek shatruta ki bhavana panap jayegi, jise aangrezi mean ajakal naye tarminol aauji mean 'frenimi' bhi kaha jata hai. frenimi yani ki freand bhi enimi bhi (dost bhi aur dushman bhi).
ek aur udaharan-
ustad b de gulam ali khaan sahab aur ustad amir khaan sahab donoan hi shastriy gayan mean parangat the. donoan mean pratisparddha thi. ek prakar ki adavat thi. b de gulam ali khaan sahab adhik prasiddh the. unaki avaz mean madhurata adhik thi. mugal-e-azam film mean dilip kumar aur madhubala par filmaye ge yadagar prem-drishy mean, b de gulam ali ki 'rag sohani' mean gaee thumari 'prem jogan banake' ne unaki prasiddhi ghar-ghar mean kar di thi. amir khaan utane zyada lokapriy nahian the. amir khaan, b de gulam ali ke gayan mean aksar kamiyaan nikalate rahate the.
khuda-n-khasta hua ye ki b de gulam ali khaan, amir khaan se pahale iantakal farma gaye. kamal ki bat ye dekhie ki amir ali khaan sahab ne gana hi band kar diya. logoan ne unase kaha ki ab ap gate nahian haian. ap ab sangit sabhaoan mean nahian jate. unhoanne kaha ki 'usi' ko sunane ke lie gata tha. ab vahi nahian raha to sunaooan kisako. ab ap kya kaheange ise ? do logoan ki dosti ya do logoan ki dushmani ?
jo vyakti dost banane ke qabil nahian hai to vah dushman banane ke qabil bhi nahian hota aur jo dushman banane ke qabil nahian hai, vah dost banane ke kabil bhi nahian hota. jis tarah dostoan ka star hota hai, usi tarah se dushmanoan ka bhi star hota hai.
ek aur udaharan-
nepoliyan bonapart ka ek dushman yuddh mean mara gaya. nepoliyan ne kaha ki ab maian vah nepoliyan nahian raha, jo us dushman ke jivit rahate hue tha. us dushman ke jivit rahate hue jis nepoliyan ko ap janate the, vah is nepoliyan se bilkul alag tha. ho sakata hai ki usake jivit rahate hue mujhe bilkul bhinn tariqe se jivan jina hota. ab jab vo is duniya mean nahian hai to maian bilkul bhinn tariqe se apana jivan jiooanga. meri rajanitik mahatvakaanksha, mere saphal hone ki nitiyaan, sab badal geean, bhinn ho geean.
ab zara man-apaman ki bat karean to apaman ki ghatanaoan se itihas badale-bane haian aur prachin kathaoan ke prasiddh prasang bhi.
kuchh udaharan-
kauravoan ki sabha mean krishna ka apaman, draupadi ka chir haran, hastinapur ki rangashala mean karn ka apaman, drupad ki sabha mean dronachary ka apaman, janak ki sabha mean ashtavakr ka apaman, dhananand ki sabha mean chanaky ka apaman, aangrezoan dvara mahatma gaandhi ka apaman adi. ye sabhi vastavik apaman the aur inake pratishodh bhi lie ge aur apaman karane vale ko dandit bhi kiya gaya.
yadi hamean koee samman de to achchha lagata hai lekin koee moorkh, dhoort, vikshipt athava lalachi vyakti hamean sammanit karata hai to ham is samman ko mahattv nahian dete. kyoan...? kyoanki us vyakti ko ham is yogy nahian samajhate ki ham usaka samman svikar karean. thik isi tarah yadi koee mahatvahin vyakti hamara apaman kare tab bhi hamako yah nahian samajhana chahie ki hamara apaman hua.
dhananand ki rajasabha mean vishnugupt (chanaky) ka apaman itihas aur kathaoan mean sambhavat: apaman se sanbandhit sabase adhik prasiddh ghatana hai. apako kya lagata hai chanaky ka apaman koee pahali bar hua tha ? aisa nahian hai. ek anath aur garib balak kin-kin apamanoan ko jhelakar b da hua hoga ? unaka abhas asani se nahian kiya ja sakata hai. kintu chanaky ne un chhote aur mahattvahin apamanoan ki or kabhi dhyan nahian diya. jab magadh ke samrat ne bhari sabha mean usaka anadar kiya, tab chanaky ne ise apana apaman mana aur kahate haian ki pratijna ki-
"dhananand ! jab tak maian is apaman ka dand tujhe nahian deta, tab tak maian apani shikha ko khuli hi rakhooanga. meri shikha mean gaanth tabhi lagegi, jab maian, chanak putr vishnagupt, tera aur tere vansh ka samool nash kar dooanga."
jo hamean sammanit kare, us vyakti ka kuchh star avashy hona chahie. hamean ehasas hona chahie ki ham sammanit hue. isi tarah jo hamean apamanit kar raha hai, usaka bhi kuchh star aisa hona chahie ki hamean ehasas ho ki vah hamean apamanit kar raha hai. jo vyakti 'kisi' ke bhi dvara apaman kie jane se apamanit ho jay us vyakti ka koee star nahian hota.
ek kahavat-
"A gentleman never insults anyone unintentionally" [bhadrajan, kisi ka bhi apaman anabhipret (anajane) nahian karate]. -'aauskar vaild'
