सत्यकाम की कथा

prachinakal mean hamare desh mean shiksha paddhati gurukuloan par adharit thi. ghane vanoan ke bich mean, nadiyoan ke kinaroan par athava paha doan ki suramy ghatiyoan mean rrishi-maharshi ashram banakar raha karate the. ye prayah grihasth hote the, jo balak padhana chahate the, unhean inhian ashramoan mean akar rahana padata tha. in ashramoan ka vatavaran bahat hi suandar, shaant evan sukhad tha kyoanki charoan or prakriti ki chhata bikhari rahati thi. ashramoan ke samip hi kal-kal ki dhvani paida karati nadiyaan bahati athava hare–bhare vrikshoan se bhare paha doan sir ooancha kie khade dikhaee padate the. mitti, baans aur phoos se bane jhopade ashramoan mean rahane ka sthan the, jo jadoan mean garam aur garmiyoan mean thande rahate the. charoan or phaloan se lade vaksh evan lataean ashramoan ki shobha badhati thian. rrishi ,maharshi aur vidvan mahatmaoan ki mamata aur daya se bhara hua svabhav tatha ahiansak pravratti hiansak pashuoan ko bhi shaant rakhata tha. chhatroan ka man aise suandar vatavaran mean adhyayan mean khoob lagata tha, lekin unaka jivan b da sayanmi evan kathor tha. gurudev evan unaki patni ki seva, ajnapalan unaka dharm tha. shiksha ke sath-sath ashram se sanbandhit sabhi kary ve svany karate the. in ashramoan mean saik doan ki sankhya mean gaean bhi rahati thian, jinaki seva aur dekhabhal karana bhi chhatroan ka aham kary tha.

chhandogy upanishad mean isase sanbandhit ek bahut hi suandar katha hai. atyant nirdhan lekin sadgunoan se sampann ek stri thi ,jisaka nam jabala tha. usake ek putr tha, jise sabhi satyakam kahate the. ek din usake man mean gurukul mean rahakar shiksha grahan karane ki ichchha paida huee. vah chahata tha ki paramapita paramatma ke vishay mean vah jane. usane apani mata se apani ichchha prakat ki. maan bahut prasann huee aur unhoanne saharsh gurukul mean apane putr ko jane tatha adhyayan karane ki svikriti pradan kar di. jis samay satyakam jane laga, usane apani mata se poochha, 'yadi achary usase usaka gotr poochheange to vah kya javab de, kyoanki usane to apane pita ko dekha hi nahian hai aur n usaka gotr hi vah janata hai. maan boli, 'bete, mujhe bhi tumhare gotr ka pata nahian hai, kyoanki jab tum paida hue the to ghar atithiyoan se bhara rahata tha. maian sare din unhian ki seva mean lagi rahati thi, tumhare pita bhi itane vyast rahate the ki mujhe kabhi yah phursat hi nahian mili ki unase unaka gotr poochh sakooan. isalie tum apane achary se itana kah dena ki maian apani maan jabala ka putr satyakam hooan.' satyakam is uttar se satusht hokar ashram ke lie chal p da. vah haridramat gautam ke ashram mean pahuancha aur unase paramapita paramatma ko janane ki shiksha dene ka agrah kiya. rrishi ne usase usaka gotr poochha. brahan balak ne maan ke dvara bataya gaya vahi uttar ki vah 'satyakam jabal' hai, bata diya tatha bola ki use apane gotr ka jnan nahian hai.

rrishi usake saty bolane par atyant prasann hue aur bole, 'tum kisi bahut hi sajjan mata-pita ki santan ho, atah jao, pahale kuchh samidhaean lekar ao taki maian tumhara upanayan sanskar karooan, phir shiksha ki bat kareange.' is sanskar dvara satyakam ko unhoanne yajnopavit (janeoo) dharan karavaya tatha apane ashram mean rakh liya. kuchh dinoan bad unhoanne ashram ki gayoan mean se char sau durbal gaane chhaanti aur unhean satyakam ko sauanpate hue kaha, 'vats! in gayoan ko lekar pas ke hi van mean chale jao aur jab yah badhakar poori ho jaean tab vapas ana. us samay maian tumhean brahm ke vishay mean bataooanga.' satyakam tuanrat taiyar ho gaya aur un gayoan ko lekar van mean chala gaya. din, mah aur varsh bitate chale ge lekin satyakam ko guru ki ajnapalan arthat gauoan ki seva ke atirikt aur koee kam nahian tha. vah chaubis ghante, din aur rat gayoan ka dhyan rakhata. unaki suraksha aur unaki dekhabhal yah usaki tapasya thi. hiansak janavaroan se unhean bachana tatha unaki bhookh-pyas ka dhyan rakhana yahi usaka dharm, pooja-path tatha yog sadhana thi. jab ek jagah ki ghas samapt ho jati to vah unhean lekar doosari jagah pahuanch jata aur vahian dera dal deta. usake pas rahane ka koee sthan nahian tha. vrikshoan ke sae aur gufaane hi usaka ghar the tatha sharir par jo vastr pahan kar vah chala tha vahi usake vastr the. bhojan ka koee thikana n tha. gayoan ka doodh aur jangal ke phal hi usaka bhojan the. dhire-dhire samay ke sath-sath gayoan ki sankhya bhi badh rahi thi aur ek din usane dekha ki gayoan ki sankhya poori ek hazar thi. sabhi gaean svatatran vicharan, jangal ki khuli hava tatha nadiyoan ke svachchh pani evan hari-bhari taja ghas-phoos khane ke karan poori tarah svasth ho gee thian. ab satyakam unhean lekar apane guru ke ashram ki or chal diya. gayoan ka nianratar dhyan, shuddh evan shaant vatavaran, gaudugdh evan phaloan ke ahar ne satyakam ko poori tarah ekagr evan atanrmukhi bana diya tha. ekaki rahakar din rat gayoan ka dhyan evan seva roopi tapasya se sabhi brahm ke vishay mean upadesh die. sarvapratham ek saand gayoan mean se hi aya phir agnidev, hans tatha jalamurg ek-ek karake usake pas ae aur bataya ki is sari sashti, is brahmand ka rachayita brahm kaun hai. unhoanne use sakshat anubhav bhi kar diya tatha antardhan ho ge. satyakam ke chehare par brahmajnan ka anubhav karake ek tez prakat hua. usake netroan mean chamak aur vani dhir-gambhir ho gee. usaki chal-dhal badal gee. jab vah gayoan ko lekar ashram mean pahuancha aur usane apane achary ke charan chhookar bataya ki gayoan ki sankhya unake adeshanusar ek hazar ho gee hai tatha ve sabhi svasth, nirogi evan hrasht-pusht haian. achary atyant prasann hue. unhoanne usake chehare ke tez aur aankhoan ki chamak ko dekha aur ashcharyachakit rah ge. satyakam ke yah kahane par ab achary use brahmajnan ka upadesh karean. achary ne kaha, 'ab tumhean usaki avashyakata nahian hai, kyoanki tumhare chehare se yah jnat hota hai ki tumhean saty ka jnan prapt ho gaya hai. yah batao ki tumhean kisane saty ka jnan diya.' satyakam ne sari ghatana sunaee aur bataya ki kaise devataoan ne vibhinn roopoan mean akar use saty ka upadesh diya tha, lekin vah phir bhi usase santusht nahian hai, vah to apane achary ke mukh se hi saty ko, brahm ko janana chahata hai, kyoanki achary ke dvara jo vidya prapt hoti hai vastav mean vahi shreshth hai. is prakar usane devataoan se bhi adhik apane achary ko mahattv pradan kiya tha. is prakar satyakam poorn jnani hokar vapas apani maan ke pas a gaya aur shaanti evan santosh ke sath apane dharm ka palan karane laga .
