rahagiroan se lootapat

maharaj haridas ji ka janh‍m saankhala gotr ke kshatriy kul mean paragana didavane ke kapadod gram mean hua tha. inaka jatiy nam harisianh tha. vayash‍k hone par kutumh‍bijan ne inaka vivah kar diya. jab in par kutumh‍b ke bharan-poshan ka bhar aya, tab inh‍hoanne dake ka ashray liya. marava d ki viran bhoomi mean apane gaanv ke idhar-udhar ye ate-jate musaphiroan ko lootakar us loot ki samh‍patti se kutumh‍b ka bharan-poshan karane lage.

daivayog se ek din jab ye loot-khasot ke liye jangal mean sthit the, tab kahian se ek mahath‍ma purush a gaye. inh‍hoanne unake bhi pothi-panh‍n tatolane ka nishh‍chay kiya. apane shash‍tr dikhakar mahath‍ma ko, jo kuchh apane pas ho, de dene ko kaha. mahath‍ma ke pas vash‍tut: kuchh tha hi nahian. unh‍hoanne uth‍tar diya ki- "hamare pas tumh‍hari loot ke layak kuchh bhi nahian hai." harisianh ko vishh‍vas nahian hua. unh‍hoanne mahatma ko apani talashi dene ko badhh‍y kiya. mahath‍ma ne talashi de di, unake pas kuchh nikala nahian. jab harisianh kuchh n milane se hatash hue, tab mahath‍ma ne unh‍hean kaha ki- "tumhare kutumh‍b ke bharan-poshan ke liye to kheti adi ka kary bhi kiya ja sakata hai. tum is‍ nikrishh‍t karm mean lagakar apane ath‍yuth‍tam manushh‍y-janh‍m ko anavarat hiansa se kh‍yoan papamay bana rahe ho? kh‍ya tumh‍hara vah kutumh‍b, jisake palan-poshan ke liye tum yah papakarm kar rahe ho, tumh‍hare is pap ka bhi bhagidar hoga? tumh‍hean yah to dhh‍yan karana chahiye." mahath‍ma ki premabhari, dayalutamayi vani ko sunakar harisianh ke kathor hriday mean kuchh namrata ne sh‍than grahan kiya. unh‍hoanne mahath‍ma ko uth‍tar diya ki- "isamean vichar kh‍ya karana hai. jab kutumh‍b ke vh‍yakti mere dvara le jaye gaye dhan se apana bharan-poshan karate haian, tab mere papakary ke bhagidar bhi unh‍hean banana hi p dega. maian jo hath‍ya tatha loot-pat karata hooan, usaka upayog akele maian hi nahian karata. maian to unh‍hian ke liye is karm ko apanaye hue hooan. is sthiti mean ve isase vanchit kaise rah sakate haian?"

mahath‍ma ne ati shanh‍t-bhav se harisianh ko samh‍bodhan karate hue kaha- "yah to tum apani kalh‍pana se hi nirnay kar rahe ho. kabhi tumane unase yah poochha bhi hai ki- "maian is hath‍ya-karm se yah sab dhan lata hooan, jisaka ki tum sab upayog karate ho, us hath‍yakanh‍d mean tum sab bhi bhagidar ho ya nahian?" vash‍tut: is vishay mean harisianh ki apane kutumh‍b se kabhi batachit huee nahian thi. unh‍hoanne socha ki bat to thik hai. maianne kutumh‍b valoan se kabhi poochha to haian nahi. ve mahath‍ma se bole- "maianne is bare mean kutumh‍b valoan se kabhi batachit to nahian ki hai." mahath‍ma ne kaha- "tum aj abhi jakar unase poochh lo, taki tumh‍hean pata to lage ki unaka is vishay mean kh‍ya nishh‍chay hai." harisianh ne kaha- "maian isaka uth‍tar lekar aooan, tab tak tumh‍hean yahian thaharana hoga." unh‍hoanne socha- sadhu hai, kh‍ya pata thahare ya nahian. unh‍hone mahath‍ma se kaha- "mujhe bharosa nahian hai ki maian kutumh‍b se poochhakar vapis aooanga, tab tak tum yahian thahare rahoge. at: maian tumh‍hean yahaan ek pe d se baandhakar jata hooan, taki lautakar ane par tum mujhe mil sako." unh‍hoanne mahath‍ma ko ek vriksh se baandh diya tatha sh‍vayan gho de par savar hokar apane gram gaye. ghar jakar unh‍hoanne mata, pita, bhaee, sh‍tri, putradi se mahath‍ma ke kahe hue prashh‍n ko poochha. sabane ek hi uth‍tar diya ki- "pap-punh‍y sab apane kiye hue hi bhogate haian. tum hath‍ya karate ho chahe loot-khasot karate ho, usaka phal tumh‍hian ko bhogana hoga. ham usamean n sharik haian, n hamara usase samh‍banh‍dh hai. hamean kh‍ya pata tum kis upay se kamakar late ho. hamara bharan-poshan tumh‍hara kartavh‍y hai. tum chahe jis upay se kamakar lao. hamean to khane-pahanane ko chahiye."

mahatma dvara upadesh

sabaka ek hi uth‍tar sunakar harisianh chinh‍ta mean nimagh‍n ho gaye. ve sochane lage ki jinake sukh aram ke liye maian yah sab kukarm kar raha hooan, ve to sab khane ke hi sajhidar haian. pap ke phalabhog mean kisi ne hish‍sa bantane ko nahian kaha. is sthiti mean ye sab papakarm, jo ab tak kiye haian tatha kar raha hooan, unaka phal mujh hi ko bhogana hai, phir maian yah nikrishh‍t karm karata hi kh‍yoan rahooan. is tarah vichar karate hue harisianh vapas us sh‍than par aye, jahaan mahath‍ma ko baandh gaye the. mahath‍ma ke pas jakar unake bandhan kholakar hath jo d unake charanoan mean gir gaye. unase prarthana karane lage- "maharaj! ghar ke to sabhi vh‍yakti mere papakarm mean hish‍sa bantane se inakar kar gaye haian. maianne itane samay tak jinake liye itana ghor pap kiya, ve sab to keval khanebhar ke hi sathi haian. apane thik hi kaha tha. ab ap hi mujhe koee aisa marg batalaiye, jisase maian is papakarm ka thik-thik prayashchit kar sakooan." mahath‍ma ne upadesh kiya- "isaka ek hi marg hai- eeshh‍var ka chinh‍tan karana. shraddha tatha premabhav se eeshh‍var ke nam ka jap karo, isi se tumh‍hare sab papakarmoan ki nivritti ho jayagi."

param pad ki prapti

harisianh ne tatkshan hi apane ash‍tr-shash‍tr ek kuane mean dal diye aur usi samay se mahath‍ma ke nirdishh‍t kiye hue nam-chinh‍tan mean lag gaye. vahaan se ve koliye ke dakshin mean sthit ek dooangari par jakar nivas karane lage. isi jagah unh‍hoanne param shraddha tatha dridh dharana se nam-chinh‍tan kiya. unake hriday ke sab malin bhav samaph‍t ho gaye. anh‍t:karan ki pavitrata hote hi unaki kathor hiansa-bhavana ki jagah daya aur prem ne apana avas kar liya. unaki vritti ath‍yanh‍t pavitr aur vimal ho gayi. ve eeshh‍var aradhana karate hue sabhi praniyoan se saman sh‍neh karane lage. didavane tatha usake asapas ke kshetr mean sab jagah unaki khh‍yati vh‍yaph‍t ho gayi. didavane nagar mean ek santasevi gada mahajan rahate the. maharaj ki kirti sun ve darshanarth dooangari par maharaj ke pas gaye. haridas maharaj ke darshan karake mahajan param prasanh‍n hue tatha tabhi se ve maharaj haridas ji ki anh‍n-jal se seva karane lage. maharaj haridas ne apani punit nishh‍tha se param pad ki prapti ki.

'dayal maharaj' namakaran

didavane ke pas mean sar mean ek devi ka mandir tha. nagarik log paramh‍para se devi ko pashuoan ki bali chadhaya karate the. jab maharaj haridas ne is sthiti ko dekha, tab unh‍hean ath‍yanh‍t du:kh hua. unh‍hoanne apane sadupadesh dvara logoan ko pashuvadh karane se roka. unaki sadbhavanapoorn prerana se jo log bahut kal se pashubali diya karate the, unh‍hoanne bhi usaka parith‍yag kar diya. tab se ab tak us pa da devi ke sh‍than par kabhi pashubali nahian ki jati. is hiansa ke nivaran se logoan ki unamean aur bhi adhik shraddha huee. jan-sadharan unh‍hean ab dayal maharaj ke nam se samh‍bodhit karane lage. is tarah haridas ji maharaj ab apane sadupadeshoan se lok-kalh‍yan karate hue marava d ke bahut se sh‍thanoan mean paribhraman karake anh‍t mean gadha mahajan ke vishesh agrah se didavane nagar mean padhar aye.

shishy parampara tatha sampraday

maharaj ke saik doan shishh‍y unake upadesh ke prabhav se eeshh‍var chinh‍tan mean hi apana samay lagane lage. haridas ji maharaj ke jivanakal mean hi anekoan shishh‍y unh‍hian ke adarsh par chalane lag gaye the. in shishh‍yoan ki paramh‍para hi age chalakar ‘niranjani-samh‍praday’ kahalane lagi. rajash‍than ke char sant-samh‍praday- 'dadoopanthi', 'niranjani-samh‍praday' bhi apana pramukh sh‍than banaye hue haian. is samh‍praday ke mool pravartak uparyukh‍t haridas ji maharaj hi the. inh‍hoanne apane abhh‍yas tatha nam-chinh‍tan se jo anubhooti praph‍t ki, use apani vani dvara sarvasadharan tak pahuanchaya. unaki yah vani hi ab unaka vash‍tavik sh‍mritichihn hai. ukh‍t vani ka prakashan jodhapur ke sadhu devadas ji ne sanvat 1988 vikrami mean kiya hai. usaki prapti kuanjavihari ji ka mandir, karalabazar, jodhapur ke pate par unh‍hean patr likhane se ho sakati hai.

jnan, bhakti, vairagh‍y ki tridhara vani mean pravahit hai. sakhi, shabh‍d, laghugranh‍th, aril adi mean maharaj ne apani sadhana tatha anubhooti ki jo dhara pravahit ki hai, vah sarvasadharan ke manash‍tal ko chhue bina nahian rahati. sadhana dvara unh‍hoanne n keval apana hi uddhar kiya, kinh‍tu us sadhana-marg ka path-pradarshan karake unh‍hoanne auroan ke liye bhi marg prashash‍t kar diya hai. unake ek pad tatha do adesh nimnalikhit haian. usase unaki bhavadhara ka yatkianchith abhas milata hai-
