lakha ji ki stri, unake putr deva tatha putravadhoo sabhi ka lakha ji ke vachanoan par poora vishh‍vas tha. ve sab prakar se unake anugat the. at: lakha ji ke in vachanoan ka un par b da prabhav p da aur unh‍hoanne kaha- "ap gangabaee ko yahaan le aiye, ham log apake ajnanusar bhogoan ka th‍yag karake use bhagavan ke marg par hi lagayeange. isase hamara-usaka-sabhi ka param kalh‍yan hoga."

gangabaee ka ghar

lakha ji samadhi ke ghar gaye aur vahaan ka drishh‍y dekhakar chakit rah gaye. unh‍hoanne dekha- gangabaee apane sas-sasur ko sansar ki kshanabhangurata aur mithh‍ya samh‍banh‍dh ka rahash‍y samajhakar unh‍hean sanh‍th‍vana de rahi hai aur ve usaki bat manakar rona chho dakar bhagavan ke nam ka kirtan kar rahe haian. apani putri ki yah sthiti dekhakar lakha ji ko du:kh mean sukh ho gaya! unh‍hean mano jahar se amrit mil gaya. ve samadhi se mile, unh‍hean dekhakar shok-sagar um da; parantu gangabaee ke upadeshoan ki sh‍mriti ate hi turant shanh‍t ho gaya. samadhi ne lakha ji se kaha- "lakha ji ! ap dhanh‍y haian jo apake ghar aisi sadhh‍vi kanh‍ya uth‍panh‍n huee. ap janate haian- yuva putr ki mrith‍yu ka shok kitana bhayanak hota hai, sh‍tri ke liye to pati ka viyog sarvatha asahy hai; parantu dhanh‍y hai apaki putri ko- jisane vivek ke dvara sh‍vayan to pati viyog ka du:kh sah hi liya, ham logoan ko bhi aisa upadesh diya ki hamara darun putr-shok door ho gaya!

ham samajh gaye- jagat ke ye sare samh‍banh‍dh aropit haian. jaise kisi khel mean alag-alag svaang dharakar log ate haian aur apana-apana khel poora karake chale jate haian, vaise hi is sansararoopi khel mean ham log ate haian, samh‍banh‍dh jo date haian aur khel poora hote hi chale jate haian. yahaan koee kisi ka putr ya pita nahian hai. ekamatr paramath‍ma hi sabake param pita haian. ham sab ko unh‍hian ki aradhana karani chahiye. ap a gaye haian- apani is sadhh‍vi kanh‍ya ko apane ghar le jaiye. ham donoan sh‍tri–purush pushh‍kararaj jakar bhagavadbhajan mean hi shesh jivan bitana chahate haian. apaki putri hamare sath jane ka agrah karati hai, parantu hamare man mean bhagavan aisi hi prerana karate haian ki vah apake hi pas rahe. haan, itana jaroor chahate haian yah apani sadbhavana se hamara sada kalh‍yan karati rahe. ap jaiye, ham log apake b de hi kritajn haian; kh‍yoanki apaki putri ne hi hamari aankhean kholi haian aur hamean vairagh‍y-vivek ka param dhan dekar bhagavan ki avh‍yabhicharini bhakti pradan ki hai.'

lakha ji samadhi ke vachan sunakar acharaj mean doob gaye. unh‍hean apana vivek-vairagh‍y inake samane phika jan p dane laga. ve jamata ki mrith‍yu ke shok ko bhool gaye aur apani putri tatha samadhi-samadhin ko jaisi sthiti praph‍t karana chahate the, usase bhi kahian adhik unaki sthit dekhakar unh‍hean b da ananh‍d hua. unh‍hoanne samadhi-samadhin ko harsh ke sath pushh‍kararaj bhej diya. unake nirvah ke liye ghar mean jo kuchh tha, sab bechakar nakad rupaye unh‍hean de diye aur gangabaee ko sath lekar ghar ki or prash‍than kiya.

bhagavan ki lila

gangabaee ko prasanh‍nachitt dekhakar lakh ji ne poochha- "beti! teri aisi anokhi halat dekhakar maian acharaj mean doob raha hooan. maian tarah-tarah ke vichar karata aya tha ki tujhe kaise samajhakar dhiraj bandhauanga, parantu teri sthiti dekhakar to maian chakit ho gaya. bata, beti ! tujhe aisa jnan kahaan se aur kaise praph‍t hua?" gangabaee ne kaha- "pita ji ! yah sara apaki bhakti tatha bhajan ka pratap hai! ap jo roj poori gita aur vishh‍nusahasranam ke pachas path karate haian, unh‍hian ke pratap se bhagavan ne mujh ko vishh‍vas pradan kiya aur apani kripa ke darshan karaye. apaki kripa se bhaiya aur maian- ham donoan ne vishh‍nusahasranam kanh‍thash‍th kar liya tha." yahaan akar maian jahaan tak mujhase banata, niranh‍tar man-hi-man vishh‍nusahasranam ke path kiya karati. apake jamata ki mrith‍yu ke tin din pahale bhagavan ne mujhako sh‍vaph‍n mean darshan dekar kaha- "beti ! tere pati ki ayu poori ho chuki hai, vah mera bhakt hai. tere sath koee poorv samh‍banh‍dh ka sanyog shesh tha, isi-se usane janh‍m liya tha. ab ise tin din bad saanp dansega-us samay too ise mera sahasranam aur gita sunati rahana. aisa karane se isaka kalh‍yan ho jayaga aur yah mere dham ko praph‍t hoga. maian tujhe varadan deta hooan- tujhe shok nahian hoga. tujhe sachh‍cha vairagh‍y aur jnan praph‍t hoga. tere upadesh se tere sas-sasur bhi kalh‍yan path ke pathik hokar anh‍t mean mujhako praph‍t kareange. aur too jivanabhar meri bhakti karati huee apane pita-mata tatha bhaee-bhaujaee ke sahit mere param dham ko praph‍t hogi."

‘’pita ji ! itana kahakar bhagavan anh‍tardhan ho gaye. maian jag p di. mano usi samay se mujhe jnan ka param prakash mil gaya. maian sare shok-moh se chhootakar pati ke kalh‍yan mean lag gayi. maianne vrat dharan kiya aur ratoan jagakar pati devata ko gita aur sahasranam sunati rahi. tisare din patidev sh‍nan karake tulasi ji ko jal de rahe the. maian unake pas kh di sahasranam ka path kar rahi thi, ve bhi shri bhagavan ka nam le rahe the. isi samay achanak ek kalasarp ne akar unake pair ko das liya aur dekhate-hi-dekhate brahmanh‍d phatakar unake pranapakheroo u d gaye. antim shh‍vas mean maianne suna- unake mukh se ‘he narayan’ nam nikala aur unake kan mean vishh‍nusahasranam ke ‘madhavo bhaktavath‍sal:’ namoan ne pravesh kiya. unaki aankhean khul gayian- maianne dekha shri bhagavan chaturbhuj roop mean unaki aankhoan ke samane virajit haian. itane mean hi jor ki dhh‍vani huee aur unaka kapal phat gaya. pitaji ! patidev ki is mrith‍yu ne mere man me bhagavadvishh‍vas ka samudr lahara diya, ab maian to usi mean doob rahi hooan. ap meri sahayata kijiye, jisase maian sada isi mean doobi rahooan. ap log mera sath to deange hi."

lakha ji punh‍yamayi ganga ki punh‍yapoorn vani sunakar gadgad ho gaye, unaki aankhoan se ananh‍d ke aansoo bah chale.

pita-putri ghar aye, mata aur bhaee-bhaujaee se milakar gangabaee ne ulati unh‍hean sanh‍th‍vana di. lakha ji aur khemabaee to usi din se virakt-se hokar samash‍t din-rat bhagavadbhajan mean bitane lage. ghar ki sari sanbhal gangabaee karane lagi. bhaee-bhaujaee prath‍yek kam usaki ajna lekar karate. vah ghar ki malakin thi aur thi bhaee-bhaujaee ko paramarth path mean rah dikhakar-vighh‍noan se bachakar le jane vali chatur path pradarshika. bhaee deva ji aur bhabhi lichhami-donoan gangabaee ki ajna ke anusar pita-mata ki seva karate, gangabaee ki seva karate or sab samay bhagavan ka sh‍maran karate hue bhagavath‍seva ke bhav se hi ghar ka sara kam karate. unh‍hoanne bhogoan ka th‍yag kar diya tha aur ve poornaroop se sada-sidha sanyamapoorn jivan bitate the. unaka ghar santoan ka pavan ashram ban gaya tha. daivi samh‍pada ke gun sab mean sh‍vabhavasiddh ho gaye the. ghar mean donoan samay bhagavan balakrishn ki pooja hoti thi aur unh‍hean bhog lagakar sab log prasad pate the. is prakar sab ka jivan pavitr ho gaya.

balakrishn ke darshan

mata-pita ki mrith‍yu ke bad bahin, bhaee, bhaujaee-tinoan bhagavan ke bhajan mean lag gaye. bhaee-bhaujaee ke vishesh anurodh karane par ek din gangabaee ne bhagavan se prakat hokar darshan dene ki prarthana ki. bhagavan ne prarthana suni aur prath‍yaksh prakat hokar tinoan bhaktoan ko apane divh‍y roop ke darshan karaye. ve tinoan bhagavan ke prath‍yaksh darshan pakar kritarth ho gaye aur bhagavath‍seva mean hi apana shesh jivan lagakar anh‍t mean bhagavan ke paramadham ko chale gaye.
