rajapootane ke kisi gaanv mean kooba nam ke kumh‍har jati ke ek bhagavadbhakh‍t rahate the. ye apani path‍ni ‘puri’ ke sath mahine bhar mean mi‍tti ke tis bartan bana lete aur unh‍hian ko bechakar pati-path‍ni jivan nirvah karate the. dhan ka lobh tha nahian, bhagavan ke bhajan mean adhik-se-adhik samay lagana chahiye, is vichar se kooba ji adhik bartan nahian banate the. ghar par aye hue atithiyoan ki seva aur bhagavan ka bhajan, bas inh‍hian do kamoan mean unaki ruchi thi.

dhan ki gatiyaan

dhan ka sadupayog to koee birale punh‍yath‍ma hi kar pate haian. dhan ki tin gatiyaan haian- dan, bhog aur nash. jo n dan karata hai aur n sukh-bhog mean dhan lagata, usaka dhan nashh‍t ho jata hai. chor-lutere n bhi le jayan, mukadame ya rogiyoan ki chikith‍sa mean n bhi nashh‍t ho, to bhi kanjoos ka dhan usaki sanh‍tan ko bure marg mean le jata hai aur ve use nashh‍t kar dalate haian. bhog mean dhan lutane se pap ka sanchay hota hai. at: dhan ka ek hi sadupayog hai- dan. ghar aye atithi ka sath‍kar.

chamatkarik ghatanaean

ek bar kooba ji ke gram mean do sau sadhu padhare. sadhu bhookhe the. gaanv mean seth-sahookar the, kiantu kisi ne sadhuoan ka sath‍kar nahian kiya. sab ne koobaji ka nam bata diya. sadhu kooba ji ke ghar pahuanche. ghar par sadhuoan ki itani b di manh‍dali dekhakar kooba ji ko b da ananh‍d hua. unh‍hoanne namratapoorvak sabako danh‍davat pranam kiya. baithane ko asan diya. parantu itane sadhuoan ko bhojan kaise diya jay? ghar mean to ek chhataank anh‍n nahian tha. ek mahajan ke pas kooba ji udhar maangane gaye. mahajan inaki nirdhanata janata tha aur yah bhi janata tha ki ye tek ke sachh‍che haian. usane yah kaha- "mujhe ek kuaan khudavana hai. tum yadi doosare majadooroan ki sahayata ke bina hi kuaan khod dene ka vachan do to maian poori samagri deta hooan." kooba ji ne shart sh‍vikar kar li. mahajan se ata, dal, ghi adi le aye. sadhu-manh‍dali ne bhojan kiya aur kooba ji ko ashirvad dekar vida ho gaye.

sadhuoan ke jate hi kooba ji apane vachan ke anusar mahajan ke bataye sh‍than par kuaan khodane mean lag gaye. ve kuaan khodate aur unaki pativrata sh‍tri poori mitti pheankati. donoan hi barabar harinam-kirtan kiya karate. bahut dinoan tak isi prakar lage rahane se kuean mean jal nikal aya. parantu niche baloo thi. oopar ki mitti ko sahara nahian tha. kuaan baith gaya. ‘puri’ mitti pheankane door chali gayi thi. kooba ji niche kuean mean the. ve bhitar hi rah gaye. bechari puri hahakar karane lagi.

gaanv ke log samachar pakar ekatr ho gaye. sab ne yah socha ki mitti ek din mean to nikal nahian sakati. kooba ji yadi dabakar n bhi mare hoange to shh‍vas rukane se mar jayange. puri ko ve samajha-bujhakar ghar lauta laye. kuchh logoan ne dayavash usake pas khane-pine ka saman bhi pahuancha diya. bechari sh‍tri koee upay n dekhakar lachar ghar chali ayi. gaanv ke log is durghatana ko kuchh dinoan mean bhool gaye. varsha hone par kuean ke sh‍than par jo tho da gaddha tha, vah bhi mitti bharane se barabar ho gaya.

ek bar kuchh yatri udhar se ja rahe the. ratri mean unh‍hoanne us kuean vale sh‍than par hi dera dala. unh‍hean bhoomi ke bhitar se karatal, mridang adi ke sath kirtan ki dhh‍vani sunayi p di. unako b da ashh‍chary hua. ratabhar ve us dhh‍vani ko sunate rahe. sabera hone par unh‍hoanne gaanv valoan ko rat ki ghatana batayi. ab jo jata, jamin mean kan lagane par usi ko vah shabh‍d sunayi p data. vahaan door-door se log ane lage. samachar pakar sh‍vayan raja apane mantriyoan ke sath aye. bhajan ki dhh‍vani sunakar aur gaanv valoan se poora itihas janakar unh‍hoanne dhire-dhire mitti hatavana praramh‍bh kiya. bahut-se log lag gaye, kuchh ghantoan mean kuaan saph ho gaya. logoan ne dekha ki niche nirmal jal ki dhara bah rahi hai. ek or asan par shankh-chakr-gada-padmadhari bhagavan virajaman haian aur unake samh‍mukh hath mean karatal liye kooba ji kirtan karate, netroan se ashrudhara bahate tan-man ki sudhi bhoole nach rahe haian. raja ne yah divh‍y drishh‍y dekhakar apana jivan kritarth mana.

achanak vah bhagavan ki moorti adrishh‍y ho gayi. raja ne kooba ji ko kuean se bahar nikalavaya. sab ne un mahabhagavat ki char-dhooli mash‍tak par chadhayi. kooba ji ghar aye. path‍ni ne apane bhagavadbhakh‍t pati ko pakar paramananh‍d labh kiya. door-door se ab log kooba ji ke darshan karane aur unake upadesh se labh uthane ane lage. raja niyamapoorvak pratidin unake darshanarth ate the.

• ek bar akal ke samay kooba ji ki kripa se logoan ko bahut-sa anh‍n praph‍t hua tha. unake sath‍sang se anek sh‍tri-purush bhagavan ke bhajan mean lagakar sansar-sagar se par ho gaye.
