sham ko jab dinanath ne ghar akar gauri se kaha, ki mujhe ek karyalay mean pachas rupaye ki naukari mil gee hai, to gauri khil uthi. devataoan mean usaki astha aur bhi dridh ho gayi. idhar ek sal se bura hal tha. n koee roji n rozagar. ghar mean jo tho de-bahut gahane the, vah bik chuke the. makan ka kiraya sir par chadha hua tha. jin mitroan se karz mil sakata tha, sabase le chuke the. sal-bhar ka bachcha doodh ke lie bilakh raha tha. ek vakt ka bhojan milata, to doosare joon ki chinta hoti. takajoan ke mare bechare dinanath ko ghar se nikalana mushkil tha. ghar se nikala nahian ki charoan or se chitha d mach jati vah babooji, vah ! do din ka vada karake le gaye aur aj do mahine se soorat nahian dikhayi ! bhaee sahab, yah to achchhi bat nahian, apako apani zaroorat ka khayal hai, magar doosaroan ki zaroorat ka jara bhi khayal nahian ? isi se kaha hai- dushman ko chahe karz de do, dost ko kabhi n do. dinanath ko ye vaky tiroan-se lagate the aur usaka ji chahata tha ki jivan ka ant kar dale, magar bejaban stri aur abodh bachche ka muanh dekhakar kaleja tham ke rah jata. bare, aj bhagavanh ne us par daya ki aur sankat ke din kat gaye. gauri ne prasannamukh hokar kaha, 'maian kahati thi ki nahian, eeshvar sabaki sudhi lete haian. aur kabhi-n-kabhi hamari bhi sudhi leange, magar tumako vishvas hi n aya tha. bolo, ab to eeshvar ki dayaluta ke kayal hue ?' dinanath ne hathadharmi karate hue kaha- yah meri dau d-dhoop ka natija hai, eeshvar ki kya dayaluta ? eeshvar ko to tab janata, jab kahian se chhappar pha dakar bhej dete. lekin muanh se chahe kuchh kahe, eeshvar ke prati usake man mean shraddha uday ho gayi thi. dinanath ka svami b da hi rookha adami tha aur kam mean b da chust. usaki umr pachas ke lagabhag thi aur svasthy bhi achchha n tha, phir bhi vah karyalay mean sabase zyada kam karata. majal n thi ki koee adami ek minat ki bhi der kare, ya ek minat bhi samay ke pahale chala jay. bich mean 15 minat ki chhutti milati thi, usamean jisaka ji chahe pan kha le, ya sigaret pi le ya jalapan kar le. isake alava ek minat ka avakash n milata tha. vetan pahali tarikh ko mil jata tha. utsavoan mean bhi daftar band rahata tha aur niyat samay ke bad kabhi kam n liya jata tha. sabhi karmachariyoan ko bonas milata tha aur pr aauvident phand ki bhi suvidha thi. phir bhi koee adami khush n tha. kam ya samay ki pabandi ki kisi ko shikayat n thi. shikayat thi keval svami ke shushk vyavahar ki. kitana hi ji lagakar kam karo, kitana hi pran de do, par usake badale dhanyavad ka ek shabd bhi n milata tha. karmachariyoan mean aur koee santusht ho ya n ho, dinanath ko svami se koee shikayat n thi. vah ghu dakiyaan aur phatakar pakar bhi shayad utane hi parishram se kam karata tha. sal-bhar mean usane karz chuka diye aur kuchh sanchay bhi kar liya. vah un logoan mean tha, jo tho de mean bhi santusht rah sakate haian - agar niyamit roop se milata jay. ek rupaya bhi kisi khas kam mean kharch karana p data, to dampati mean ghantoan salah hoti aur b de jhaanv-jhaanv ke bad kahian manjoori milati thi. bil gauri ki taraph se pesh hota, to dinanath virodh mean kh da hota. dinanath ki taraph se pesh hota, to gauri usaki k di alochana karati. bil ko pas kara lena prastavak ki joradar vakalat par munahasar tha. sartiphaee karane vali koee tisari shakti vahaan n thi.  aur dinanath ab pakka astik ho gaya tha. eeshvar ki daya ya nyay mean ab use koee shanka n thi. nity sandhya karata aur niyamit roop se gita ka path karata. ek din usake ek nastik mitr ne jab eeshvar ki ninda ki, to usane kaha- bhaee, isaka to aj tak nishchay nahian ho saka eeshvar hai ya nahian. donoan pakshoan ke pas ispat ki-si dalilean maujood haian; lekin mere vichar mean nastik rahane se astik rahana kahian achchha hai. agar eeshvar ki satta hai, tab to nastikoan ko narak ke siva kahian thikana nahian. astik ke donoan hathoan mean laddoo hai. eeshvar hai to poochhana hi kya, nahian hai, tab bhi kya big data hai. do-char minat ka samay hi to jata hai ? nastik mitr is dorukhi bat par muanh bichakakar chal diye. 3 ek din jab dinanath sham ko daftar se chalane laga, to svami ne use apane kamare mean bula bheja aur b di khatir se use kursi par baithakar bola, 'tumhean yahaan kam karate kitane din hue ? sal-bhar to hua hi hoga ?' dinanath ne namrata se kaha- ji haan, terahavaan mahina chal raha hai. 'aram se baitho, is vakt ghar jakar jalapan karate ho ?' 'ji nahian, maian jalapan ka adi nahian.' 'pan-van to khate hi hoge ? javan adami hokar abhi se itana sanyam.' yah kahakar usane ghanti bajayi aur ardali se pan aur kuchh mithaiyaan lane ko kaha. dinanath ko shanka ho rahi thi aj itani khatiradari kyoan ho rahi hai. kahaan to salam bhi nahian lete the, kahaan aj mithaee aur pan sabhi kuchh mangaya ja raha hai ! maloom hota hai mere kam se khush ho gaye haian. is khayal se use kuchh atmavishvas hua aur eeshvar ki yad a gayi. avashy paramatma sarvadarshi aur nyayakari hai; nahian to mujhe kaun poochhata ? ardali mithaee aur pan laya. dinanath agrah se vivash hokar mithaee khane laga. svami ne muskarate hue kaha, 'tumane mujhe bahut rookha paya hoga. bat yah hai ki hamare yahaan abhi tak logoan ko apani zimmedari ka itana kam jnan hai ki aphasar jara bhi narm p d jay, to log usaki sharaphat ka anuchit labh uthane lagate haian aur kam kharab hone lagata hai. kuchh aise bhagyashali haian, jo naukaroan se hel-mel bhi rakhate haian, unase hansate-bolate bhi haian, phir bhi naukar nahian big date, balki aur bhi dil lagakar kam karate haian. mujhamean vah kala nahian hai, isalie maian apane adamiyoan se kuchh alag-alag rahana hi achchha samajhata hooan. aur ab tak mujhe is niti se koee hani bhi nahian huee; lekin maian adamiyoan ka rang-dhang dekhata rahata hooan aur sabako parakhata raha hooan. maianne tumhare vishay mean jo mat sthir kiya hai, vah yah hai ki tum vafadar ho aur maian tumhare oopar vishvas kar sakata hooan, isalie maian tumhean zyada zimmedari ka kam dena chahata hooan, jahaan tumhean khud bahut kam kam karana p dega, keval nigarani karani p degi. tumhare vetan mean pachas rupaye ki aur taraqqi ho jayegi. mujhe vishvas hai, tumane ab tak jitani tanadehi se kam kiya hai, usase bhi zyada tanadehi se age karoge. dinanath ki aankhoan mean aansoo bhar aye aur kanth ki mithaee kuchh namakin ho gayi. ji mean aya, svami ke charanoan par sir rakh de aur kahe- apaki seva ke lie meri jan hajir hai. apane mera jo samman badhaya hai, maian use nibhane mean koee kasar n utha rakhooanga; lekin svar kaanp raha tha aur vah keval kritajnata-bhari aankhoan se dekhakar rah gaya. sethaji ne ek mota-sa lejar nikalate hue kaha, maian ek aise kam mean tumhari madad chahata hooan, jis par is karyalay ka sara bhavishy tika hua hai. itane adamiyoan mean maianne keval tumhian ko vishvas-yogy samajha hai. aur mujhe asha hai ki tum mujhe nirash n karoge. yah pichhale sal ka lejar hai aur isamean kachh aisi rakamean darj ho gayi haian, jinake anusar kampani ko kee hazar labh hota hai, lekin tum janate ho, ham kee mahinoan se ghate par kam kar rahe haian. jis klark ne yah lejar likha tha, usaki likhavat tumhari likhavat se bilakul milati hai. agar donoan likhavatean amane-samane rakh di jayan, to kisi visheshajn ko bhi unamean bhed karana kathin ho jayega. maian chahata hooan, tum lejar mean ek prishth phir se likhakar jo d do aur usi nambar ka prishth usamean se nikal lo. maianne prishth ka nambar chhapava liya hai; ek daftari bhi thik kar liya hai, jo rat bhar mean lejar ki jildabandi kar dega. kisi ko pata tak n chalega. zaroorat sirph yah hai ki tum apani kalam se us prishth ki nakal kar do. dinanath ne shanka ki, 'zab us prishth ki nakal hi karani hai, to use nikalane ki kya zaroorat hai ?' sethaji hanse- to kya tum samajhate ho, 'us prishth ki hoobahoo nakal karani hogi ! maian kuchh rakamoan mean parivartan kar dooanga. maian tumhean vishvas dilata hooan ki maian keval karyalay ki bhalaee ke khayal se yah karravaee kar raha hooan. agar yah raddobadal n kiya gaya, to karyalay ke ek sau adamiyoan ki jivika mean badha p d jayagi. isamean kuchh soch-vichar karane ki zaroorat hi nahian. keval adha ghante ka kam hai. tum bahut tej likhate ho. kathin samasya thi. spasht tha ki usase jal banane ko kaha ja raha hai. usake pas is rahasy ka pata lagane ka koee sadhan n tha ki sethaji jo kuchh kah rahe haian, vah svarthavash hokar ya karyalay ki raksha ke lie; lekin kisi dasha mean bhi hai yah jal, ghor jal. kya vah apani atma ki hatya karega ? nahian; kisi tarah nahian. usane darate-darate kaha, 'mujhe ap kshama karean, maian yah kam n kar sakooanga.' sethaji ne usi avichalit muskan ke sath poochha, 'kyoan ?' 'isalie ki yah sarasar jal hai.' 'jal kise kahate haian ?' 'kisi hisab mean ulatapher karana jal hai.' 'lekin us ulatapher se ek sau adamiyoan ki jivika bani rahe, to is dasha mean bhi vah jal hai ? kampani ki asali halat kuchh aur hai, kagaji halat kuchh aur; agar yah tabdili n ki gayi, to turant kee hazar rupaye naphe ke dene p d jayange aur natija yah hoga ki kampani ka divala ho jayaga aur sare adamiyoan ko ghar baithana p dega. maian nahian chahata ki tho de se maladar hissedaroan ke lie itane gariboan ka khoon kiya jay. paropakar ke lie kuchh jal bhi karana p de, to vah atma ki hatya nahian hai.' dinanath ko koee javab n soojha. agar sethaji ka kahana sach hai aur is jal se sau adamiyoan ki roji bani rahe to vastav mean vah jal nahian, kathor kartavy hai; agar atma ki hatya hoti bhi ho, to sau adamiyoan ki raksha ke lie usaki paravah n karani chahie, lekin naitik samadhan ho jane par apani raksha ka vichar aya. bola- lekin kahian muamala khul gaya to maian mit jaooanga. chaudah sal ke lie kale pani bhej diya jaooanga. seth ne zor se kahakaha mara- agar muamala khul gaya, to tum n phansoge, maian phansooanga. tum saf inakar kar sakate ho. 'likhavat to pak di jayagi ?' 'pata hi kaise chalega ki kaun prishth badala gaya, likhavat to ek-si hai.' dinanath parast ho gaya. usi vakt us prishth ki nakal karane laga. 4 phir bhi dinanath ke man mean chor paida hua tha. gauri se is vishay mean vah ek shabd bhi n kah saka. ek mahine ke bad usaki taraqqi huee. sau rupaye milane lage. do sau bonas ke bhi mile. yah sabakuchh tha, ghar mean khushahali ke chihn najar ane lage; lekin dinanath ka aparadhi man ek bojh se daba rahata tha. jin daliloan se sethaji ne usaki juban band kar di thi, un daliloan se gauri ko santusht kar sakane ka use vishvas n tha. usaki eeshvar-nishtha use sadaiv darati rahati thi. is aparadh ka koee bhayankar dand avashy milega. kisi prayashchitt, kisi anushthan se use rokana asambhav hai. abhi n mile, sal-do sal n mile, das-paanch sal n mile; par jitani hi der mean milega, utana hi bhayankar hoga, mooladhan byaj ke sath badhata jayega. vah aksar pachhatata, maian kyoan sethaji ke pralobhan mean a gaya. karyalay tootata ya rahata, meri bala se; adamiyoan ki roji jati ya rahati, meri bala se; mujhe to yah pran-pi da n hoti, lekin ab to jo kuchh hona tha ho chuka aur dand avashy milega. is shanka ne usake jivan ka utsah, anand aur madhury sabakuchh har liya. maleriya phaila hua tha. bachche ko jvar aya. dinanath ke pran nahoan mean sama gaye. dand ka vidhan a pahuancha. kahaan jay, kya kare, jaise buddhi bhrasht ho gayi. gauri ne kaha- jakar koee dava lao, ya kisi daktar ko dikha do, tin din to ho gaye. dinanath ne chintit man se kaha- haan, jata hooan, lekin mujhe b da bhay lag raha hai.  'bhay ki kaun-si bat hai, bebat ki bat muanh se nikalate ho. ajakal kise jvar nahian ata ?' 'eeshvar itana nirdayi kyoan hai ?' 'eeshvar nirdayi hai papiyoan ke lie. hamane kisaka kya har liya hai ?' 'eeshvar papiyoan ko kabhi kshama nahian karata ?' 'papiyoan ko dand n mile, to sansar mean anarth ho jay.' 'lekin adami aise kam bhi to karata hai, jo ek drishti se pap ho sakate haian, doosari drishti se puny.' 'maian nahian samajhi.' 'man lo, mere jhooth bolane se kisi ki jan bachati ho, to kya vah pap hai ?' 'maian to samajhati hooan, aisa jhooth puny hai.' 'to jis pap se manushy ka kalyan ho, vah puny hai ?' 'aur kya.' dinanath ki amangal shanka tho di der ke lie door ho gayi. daktar ko bula laya, ilaj shuroo kiya, balak ek saptah mean changa ho gaya. magar tho de din bad vah khud bimar p da. vah avashy hi eeshvariy dand hai aur vah bach nahian sakata. sadharan maleriya jvar tha; par dinanath ki dand-kalpana ne use sannipat ka roop de diya. jvar mean, nashe ki halat ki tarah yoan bhi kalpanashakti tivr ho jati hai. pahale keval manogat shanka thi, vah bhishan saty ban gayi. kalpana ne yamadoot rach dale, unake bhale aur gadaean rach dalian, narak ka agnikund dahaka diya. daktar ki ek ghooant dava ek hazar man ki gada ki avaz aur ag ke ubalate hue samudr ke dahapar kya asar karati ? dinanath mithyavadi n tha. puranoan ki rahasyamay kalpanaoan mean use vishvas n tha. nahian, vah buddhivadi tha aur eeshvar mean bhi tabhi use vishvas aya, jab usaki tarkabuddhi kayal ho gayi. lekin eeshvar ke sath usaki daya bhi ayi, usaka dand bhi aya. daya ne use roji di, man diya. eeshvar ki daya n hoti, to shayad vah bhookhoan mar jata, lekin bhookhoan marana agnikund mean dhakel diye jane se kahian saral tha, khel tha. dand-bhavana janm-janmantaroan ke sanskar se aisi baddhamool ho gayi thi, mano usaki buddhi ka, usaki atma ka, ek aang ho gayi ho. usaka tarkavad aur buddhivad in manvantaroan ke jame hue sanskar par samudr ki ooanchi laharoan ki bhaanti ata tha; par ek kshan mean unhean jal-magn karake phir laut jata tha aur vah parvat jyoan-ka-tyoan achal kh da rah jata tha. zindagi baki thi, bach gaya. takat ate hi daftar jane laga. ek din gauri boli, 'zin dinoan tum bimar the aur ek din tumhari halat bahut najuk ho gayi thi, to maianne bhagavanh se kaha, tha ki yah achchhe ho jayange, to pachas brahmanoan ko bhojan karaooangi. doosare hi din se tumhari halat sudharane lagi. eeshvar ne meri vinati sun li. usaki daya n ho jati, to mujhe kahian maange bhikh n milati. aj bazar se saman le ao, to manauti poori kar dooan. pachas brahman nevate jayange, to sau avashy ayeange. pachas kॅgale bhi samajh lo aur mitroan mean bis-pachis nikal hi ayeange. do sau adamiyoan ka daul hai. maian samagriyoan ki soochi likh deti hooan.'  dinanath ne matha siko dakar kaha- tum samajhati ho, maian bhagavanh ki daya se achchha hua ? 'aur kaise achchhe hue ?' 'achchha hua isalie ki zindagi baki thi.' 'aisi batean n karo. manauti poori karani hogi.' 'kabhi nahian. maian bhagavanh ko dayalu nahian samajhata.' 'aur kya bhagavanh nirdayi hai ?' 'unase b da nirdayi koee sansar mean n hoga. jo apane rache hue khilaunoan ko unaki bhooloan aur bevakoophiyoan ki saza agnikund mean dhakelakar de, vah bhagavanh dayalu nahian ho sakata. bhagavanh jitana dayalu hai, usase asankhy guna nirdayi hai. aur aise bhagavanh ki kalpana se mujhe ghrina hoti hai. prem sabase b di shakti kahi gayi hai. vicharavanoan ne prem ko hi jivan ki aur sansar ki sabase b di vibhooti mani hai. vyavahar mean n sahi, adarsh mean prem hi hamare jivan ka saty hai, magar tumhara eeshvar dand-bhay se srishti ka sanchalan karata hai. phir usamean aur manushy mean kya farq hua ? aise eeshvar ki upasana maian nahian karana chahata, nahian kar sakata. jo mote haian, unake lie eeshvar dayalu hoga, kyoanki ve duniya ko lootate haian. ham jaisoan ko to eeshvar ki daya kahian najar nahian ati. haan, bhay pag-pag par kh da ghoora karata hai. yah mat karo, nahian to eeshvar dand dega ! vah mat karo, nahian to eeshvar dand dega. prem se shasan karana manavata hai, atank se shasan karana barbarata hai. atankavadi eeshvar se to eeshvar ka n rahana hi achchha hai. use hriday se nikalakar maian usaki daya aur dand donoan se mukt ho jana chahata hooan. ek kathor dand barasoan ke prem ko mitti mean mila deta hai. maian tumhare oopar barabar jan deta rahata hooan; lekin kisi din danda lekar pit chalooan, to tum meri soorat n dekhogi. aise atankamay, dandamay jivan ke lie maian eeshvar ka ehasan nahian lena chahata. basi bhat mean khuda ke sajhe ki zaroorat nahian. agar tumane oj-bhoj par zor diya, to maian zahar kha looanga.' gauri usake muanh ki or bhayatur netroan se takati rah gayi.
