mahabharat udyog parv mean sanatsujataparv ke aantargat 42vean adhyay mean 'sanatsujat dvara dhritarashtr ke prashnoan ka uttar' ka varnan hai, jo is prakar hai-

dhritarashh‍tr dvara sanatsujat muni se prashh‍‍n poochhana

vaishampayanaji kahate haian- janamejay! tadanantar buddhiman evan mahamana raja dhritarashh‍tr ne vidur ke kahe hue us vachan ka bhali-bhaanti adar karake utkrishh‍t jnan ki ichchha se ekant mean sanatsujat muni se prashh‍‍n kiya. dhritarashh‍tr bole- sanatsujat ji maian yah suna karata hooan ki mrityu hai hi nahian, aisa apaka siddhant hai. sath hi yah bhi suna hai ki devata aur asuroan ne mrityu se bachane ke liye brahmachary ka palan kiya tha. in donoan mean kaun-si bat yatha‍rth hai?

sanatsujat dvara dhritarashtr ke prashh‍‍n ka uttar dena

sanatsujat ne kaha- rajan! is vishay mean do paksh haian mrityu hai aur vah brahmachary palan roop karm se door hoti hai- yah ek paksh hai aur ‘mrityu hai hi nahian'- yah doosara paksh hai. parantu yah bat jaisi hai, vah maian tumhean batata hooan, suno aur mere kathan mean sandeh n karana. kshatriy is prashh‍n ke ukt donoan hi pahaluoan ko saty samajho. kuchh vidvanoan ne mohavash is mrityu ki satta svikar ki hai kiantu mera kahana to yah hai ki pramad hi mrityu hai aur apramad hi amrit hai. pramad ke hi karan asuragan mrityu se parajit hue aur apramad se hi devagan brahmasvaroop hue. yah nishchay hai ki mrityu vyaghr ke saman praniyoan ka bhakshan nahian karati, kyoanki usaka koee roop dekhane mean nahian ata. kuchh log is pramad se bhinn ‘yam’ ko mrityu kahate haian aur hriday se dridhatapoorvak palan kiye hue brahmachary ko hi amrit manate haian. yamadev pitrilok mean rajy-shasan karate haian. ve punh‍yatmaoan ke liye mangalamay aur papiyoan ke liye amangalamay haian. in yam ki ajna se hi krodh, pramad aur lobharoopi mrityu manushh‍yoan ke vinash mean pravritt hoti haian. ahankar ke vashibhoot hokar viparit marg par chalata hua koee bhi manushh‍y paramatma ka sakshatkar nahian kar pata. manushh‍y (krodh, pramad aur lobh se) mohit hokar ahankar ke adhin ho is lok se jakar pun: pun: janm-maran ke chakkar mean p date haian. marane ke bad unake man, indriy aur pran bhi sath jate haian. sharir se pranaroopi indriyoan ka viyog hone ke karan mrityu ‘maran’ sanjna ko prapt hoti hai. prarabdh karm ka uday hone par karm ke phal mean asakti rakhane vale log paralok ka anugaman karate haian isiliye ve mrityu ko par nahian kar pate. dehabhimani jiv paramatma sakshatkar ke upay ko n janane se vishayoan ke upabhog ke karan sab or bhatakata rahata hai. is prakar vishayoan ka jo bhog hai, vah avashh‍y hi indriyoan ko mahan moh mean dalane vala hai aur in jhoothe vishayoan mean rag rakhane vale manushh‍y ki unaki or pravritti honi svabhavik hai. mithh‍ya bhogoan mean asakti hone se jisake ant:karan ki jnan shakti nashh‍t ho gayi hai, vah sab or vishayoan ka hi chintan karata hua man-hi-man unaka asvadan karata hai. pahale to vishayoan ka chintan hi logoan ko mare dalata hai. isake bad vah kam aur krodh ko sath lekar pun: jaldi hi prahar karata hai. is prakar ye vishay-chintan (kam aur krodh) hi vivek hin manushh‍yoan ko mrityu ke nikat pahuanchate haian parantu jo sthir buddhi vale purush haian, ve dhairy se mrityu ke par ho jate haian. at: jo mrityu ko jitane ki ichchha rakhata hai, use chahiye ki paramatma ka dhh‍yan karake vishayoan ko tuchchh manakar unhean kuchh bhi n ginate hue unaki kamanaoan ka utpann hote hi nashh‍t kar dale. is prakar jo vidvan vishayoan ki ichchha ko mita deta hai, usako sadharan praniyoan ki mrityu ki bhaanti mrityu nahian marati kamanaoan ke pichhe chalane vala manushh‍y kamanaoan ke sath hi nashh‍t ho jata hai; parantu jnani purush kamanaoan ka tyag kar dene par jo kuchh bhi janm-maran roop du:kh hai, un sabako vah nashh‍t kar deta hai. kam hi samast praniyoan ke liye mohak hone ke karan tamomay aur ajnanaroop hai tatha narak ke saman du:khadayi dekha jata hai. jaise madyapan se mohit hue purush chalate-chalate gaddhe़ ki or dau d p date haian, vaise hi kami purush bhogoan mean sukh manakar unaki or dau date haian. jisake chitt ki vrittiyaan vishay bhogoan se mohit nahian huee haian, us jnani purush ka is lok mean tinakoan ke banaye hue vyaghr ke saman mrityu kya biga d sakati hai? isaliye rajan! vishay bhogoan ke mool karanaroop ajnan ko nashh‍t karane ki ichchha se doosare kisi bhi saansarik padarth ko kuchh bhi n ginakar usaka chintan tyag dena chahiye. yah jo tumhare sharir ke bhitar antaratma hai, moh ke vashibhoot hokar yahi krodh, lobh aur mrityu roop ho jata hai. is prakar moh se hone vali mrityu ko janakar jo jnananishh‍th ho jata hai, vah is lok mean mrityu se kabhi nahian darata. usake samip akar mrityu usi prakar nashh‍t ho jati hai, jaise mrityu ke adhikar mean aya hua maran-dharma manushh‍y.

dhritarashh‍tr-sanatsujat sanvad

dhritarashh‍tr bole- dvijatiyoan ke liye yajnoan dvara jin pavitratam sanatan evan shreshh‍th lokoan ki prapti batayi gayi haian, yahaan ved unhian ko param purusharth kahate haian. is bat ko janane vala vidvan uttam karmoan ka ashray kyoan n lean? sanatsujat ne kaha- rajan! ajnani purush is prakar bhinn-bhinn lokoan mean gaman karata hai tatha ved karm ke bahut se prayojan bhi batate haian; parantu jo nishh‍kam purush hai, vah jnan marg ke dvara any sabhi margoan ka badh karake paramatma svaroop hota hua hi paramatma ko prapt hota hai dhritarashh‍tr bole- vidvan! yadi vah paramatma hi kramash: is sampoorn jagat ke roop mean prakat hota hai to us ajanma aur puratan purush par kaun shasan karata hai? athava use is roop mean ane ki kya avashh‍yakata hai aur kya sukh milata hai? yah sab mujhe thik-thik bataiye. sanatsujat ne kaha- tumhare is prashh‍n ke anusar jiv aur brahm ka vishesh bhed prapt hota hai, jise svikar kar lene par ved virodh roop mahan dosh ki prapti hoti hai. atev anadi maya ke sambandh se jivoan ka kam sukh adi se sambandh hota rahata hai. aisa hone par bhi jiv ki mahatta nashh‍t nahian hoti kyoanki maya ke sambandh se jiv ke dehadi pun: utpann hote rahate haian. jo nityasvaroop bhagavan haian, ve hi parabrahm maya ke sahayog se is vishh‍v brahmanh‍d ki srishti karate haian. vah maya unhian parabrahm ki shakti hai. mahatma purush ise manate haian. is prakar ke arth ke pratipadan mean ved bhi praman haian.

dhritarashh‍tr bole- is jagat mean kuchh log aise haian, jo dharm ka acharan nahian karate tatha kuchh log usaka acharan karate haian, at: dharm pap ke dvara nashh‍t hota hai ya dharm hi pap ko nashh‍t kar deta hai. sanatsujat ne kaha-rajan! dharm aur pap donoan ke prithak-prithak phal hote haian aur un donoan ka upabhog karana p data hai. kiantu paramatma mean sthit hone par vidvan purush usjnan ke dvara apane poorvakrit pap aur punh‍y donoan ka nash kar deta hai yah bat sada prasiddh hai. yadi aisi sthiti nahian huee to dehabhimani manushh‍y kabhi punh‍yaphal ko praph‍t karata hai aur kabhi kramash: praph‍t hue poorvoparjit pap ke phal ka anubhav karata hai. is prakar punh‍y aur pap ke jo sh‍varg-narak do asthir phal haian, unaka bhog karake vah pun: tadanusar karmoan mean lag jata hai; kiantu karmoan ke tath‍v ko janane vala purush nishh‍kam dharmaroop karm ke dvara apane poorv pap ka yahaan hi nash kar deta hai. is prakar dharm hi ath‍yant balavan yahaan hi nash kar deta hai. is prakar dharm hi ath‍yant balavan hai. isaliye nishh‍kam bhav se dharmacharan karane valoan ko samayanusar avashh‍y siddhi praph‍t hoti hai.

dhritarashh‍tr bole- vidvan punh‍y karm karane vale dvijatiyoan ko apane-apane dharm ke phalash‍varoop jin sanatan lokoan ki prapti batayi gayi hai, unaka kram batalaiye tatha unase bhinh‍n jo anh‍yay lok hai, unaka bhi niroopan kijiye. ab maian sakam karm ki bat nahian janana chahata. sanatsujat ne kaha- jaise do balavan viroan mean apana bal badhane ke nimitt ek doosare se sh‍pardha rahati hai, usi prakar jo nishh‍kam bhav se yam-niyamadi ke palan mean doosaroan se badhane ka prayas karate haian, ve brahman yahaan se marakar jane ke bad brahmalok mean apana prakash phailate haian. jinaki dharm ke palan mean sh‍pardha hai, unake liye vah jnan ka sadhan hai; kiantu ve brahman to mrith‍yu ke pashchat yahaan se devataoan ke nivas sh‍than sh‍varg mean jate haian. brahman ke samh‍yak achar ki vedavetta purush prashansa karate haian,kiantu jo dharm palan mean bahirmukh hai, use adhik mahattv nahian dena chahiye. jo nishh‍kam bhav poorvak dharm ka palan karane se antarmukh ho gaya hai, aise purush ko shreshh‍th samajhana chahiye. jaise varsha rritu mean trin-ghas adi ki bahutayat hoti hai, usi prakar jahaan brahman ke yogy ann-pan adi ki adhikata maloom p de, usi desh mean rahakar vah jivan nirvah kare. bhookh-pyas se apane ko kashh‍t nahian pahuanchaye. kiantu jahaan apana mahatmy prakashit n karane par bhay aur amangal prapt ho, vahaan rahakar bhi jo apani visheshata prakat nahian karata, vahi shreshh‍th purush hai; doosara nahian. jo kisi ko atmaprashansa karate dekh jalata nahian tatha brahman ke svatv ka upabhog nahian karata, usake ann ko svikar karane mean satpurushoan ki sammati hai. jaise kutta apana vaman kiya hua bhi kha leta hai, usi prakar jo apane brahmanatv ke prabhav ka pradarshan karake jivika chalate haian, ve brahman vaman ka bhojan karane vale haian aur isase unaki sada hi avanati hoti hai. jo kutumbijanoan ke bich mean rahakar bhi apani sadhana ko unase sada gupt rakhane ka prayatn karata hai, aise brahmanoan ko hi vidvan purush brahman manate haian.

is prakar jo bhedashoony, chihnarahit, avichal, shuddh evan sab prakar ke dvait se rahit atma hai, usake svaroop ko janane vala kaun brahmavetta purush usaka hanan karana chahega? isaliye uparyukt roop se jivan bitane vala kshatriy bhi brahm ke svaroop ka anubhav karata hai tatha brahm ko prapt hota hai. jo ukt prakar se vartaman atma ko usake viparit roop se samajhata hai, atma ka apaharan karane vale us chor ne kaun-sa pap nahian kiya? jo kartavy-palan mean kabhi thakata nahian, dan nahian leta, satpurushoan mean sammanit aur upadrav rahit hai tatha shishh‍t hokar bhi shishh‍tata ka vijnapan nahian karata, vahi brahman brahmavetta evan vidvan hai. jo laukik dhan ki drishti se nirdhan hokar bhi daivi sampatti tatha yajn-upasana adi se sampann haian, ve durdharsh haian aur kisi bhi vishay se chalayaman nahian hote haian. unhean brahm ki sakshat moorti samajhana chahiye. yadi koee is lok mean abhishh‍t siddh karane vale sampoorn devataoan ko jan le, to bhi vah brahmavetta ke saman nahian hota; kyoanki vah to abhishh‍t phal ki siddhi ke liye hi prayatn kar raha hai. jo doosaroan se samman pakar bhi abhiman n kare aur sammananiy purush ko dekhakar jale nahian tatha prayatn n karane par bhi vidvan log jise adar dean, vahi vastav mean sammanit hai. jagat mean jab vidvan purush adar dean, tab sammanit vyakti ko aisa manana chahiye ki aankhoan ko kholane-michane ke saman achchhe logoan ki yah svabhavik vritti hai, jo adar dete haian. kiantu is sansar mean jo adharm mean nipun, chhal-kapat mean chatur aur mananiy purushoan ka apaman karane vale moodh manushh‍y haian, ve adaraniy vyaktiyoan ka bhi adar nahian karate. yah nishchit hai ki man aur maun sada ek sath nahian rahate; kyoanki man se is lok mean sukh milata hai aur maun se paralok mean. jnani jan is bat ko janate haian. rajan! lok mean aishvaryaroopa lakshmi sukh ka ghar mani gayi hai, par vah bhi kalyan marg mean luteroan ki bhaanti vighh‍n dalane vali hai; kiantu brahm jnanamayi lakshh‍mi prajnahin manushh‍y ke liye sarvatha durlabh hai. sant purush yahaan us brahm jnanamayi lakshh‍mi ki prapti ke anekoan dvar batalate haian, jo ki moh ko jagane vale nahian haian tatha jinako kathinata se dharan kiya jata hai. unake nam haian- saty, saralata, lajja, dam, shauch aur vidya.
