shri bhishm pitamah -svami akhandanand sarasvati

pitamah ka upadesh sahishnuta b di avashyak hai. kisi ke dvara apaman bhi ho jaye to sahasa ape se bahar nahian ho jana chahiye. namrabhav se hi rahana chahiye. jo aisa vyavahar karata hai, use kasht nahian uthana p data. is vishay mean ek prachin itihas hai. ek bar samudr ne apane mean milane vali nadiyoan se poochha ki 'nadiyo! tumhare pravah mean b de-b de vriksh j d se ukh de hue ate haian, parantu aj tak kisi ke pravah mean beant ka vriksh nahian aya, isaka karan kya hai? kya tum log apane tat par lage hue beantoan ko tuchchh samajhakar unhean lati hi nahian ho athava unase tumhari mitrata hai?' isake uttar mean shrigangaji ne kaha ki 'svaminh! doosare vrikshh hamare ane par ak de hue kh de rahate haian, ve ek prakar se hamara virodh karate haian, parantu beant aisa nahian karata. vah ham logoan ke veg ko dekhakar jhuk jata hai aur pravah ka veg nikal jane par, jyoan-ka-tyoan kh da ho jata hai. vah avasar janane vala, sahishnu, vinayi aur hamare anukool hai, isi se ham use nahian ukha datian.' vayu ke veg mean bhi yahi bat hai. jo vrikshh-lata, jha d-jhankha d vayu ke samane natamastak ho jate haian, ve nahian ukh date. namr ho jana buddhimanoan ka lakshan hai. manushy ko sarvada charitravanh hona chahiye. prahlad ne apane charitr ke bal se indr ka rajy prapt kar liya. indr ko b di chinta huee, ve apane guru ke pas gaye. unhoanne rajy-prapti ka upay poochha tab devaguru brihaspati ne kaha ki jnan prapt karo. indr ne jab isase bhi uttam upay poochha, tab unhoanne shukrachary ke pas bhej diya. shukrachary ne prahlad ke pas bheja. indr vesh badalakar prahlad ke pas pahuanche aur unhoanne unase prarthana ki ki 'ap mujhe aishvary-prapti ka upadesh kijiye.' prahlad ne kaha- 'maian rajakaj mean laga hooan, mujhe upadesh karane ka avasar hi kahaan hai?' indr ne kaha- 'apako jab avasar mile tabhi upadesh kijiyega.' prahlad bahut prasann hue, ve samay milane par upadesh karate. indr brahman ke vesh mean unake pas rahakar namratapoorvak unaki seva karane lage.
