chitraangad aur vichitraviry ka janm, rajy bhog, mrityu aur satyavati ka shok jiv ke sankalpoan ka ant nahian hai. vah kshan-kshan sankalp karata rahata hai. yadi sach kahean to kshanoan ka sankalp bhi vahi karata hai. vah sankalp kyoan karata hai? isaliye ki use aisa maloom p data hai ki mujhe koee sthiti prapt nahian hai, mujhe koee vastu prapt nahian hai. vah sthiti prapt ho jay, vah vastu mujhe prapt ho jay, usake maian apane bal se, paurush se, is yukti se, is upay se yoan prapt kar luanga. yah sukh prapt karuanga, yah uttam bhog prapt karuanga- ityadi anekoan prakar ki kalpanaean hoti rahati haian. bas, inhian kalpanaoan mean athava in kalpanaoan ki poorti mean jiv ka jagratkalin aur spapnakalin jivan vyatit hota hai. yadi apani kalpanaoan ke anurup sthiti ya vastu prapt ho gayi, tab to vah saphalata ki prasannata se phool uthata hai aur yadi manovaanchhit vastu n mili, apani kalpana ke anurup sthiti prapt n huee to sir pit-pitakar rone lagata hai. yahi sare jagath ki dasha hai, apane svarup ko-bhagavanh ko bhoolakar apane ahankar ke karan yah sthiti svayan apane-ap hi paida ki gayi hai. bhole jivoan! kya tum apani kalpana ke anusar srishti ko banana-biga dana chahate ho? kya tumhari aisi dharana hai ki ham sab alag-alag apani dharana ke anurup srishti ka nirman kar leange? kya tumhean vishvas hai ki is prakar sansar ka sanchalan suvyavasthit rup se ho sakega? is sari srishti ka vyavasthapak ek hai, sare jagath ke anu-anu aur paramanu-paramanu ki gatividhi ka nirikshan ho raha hai. kaun-sa kan kab kis prakar doosare kan se mile- isaka niyam hai. kaun-sa vyakti kis sthan par baithakar, kis patr mean ann ke kaun-se dane kis prakar khayega, yah samay, sthan, ann, vyakti aur patr ke bhagy sootr jo dakar nishchit kiya ja chuka hai. ek-ek anu jiv haian, unaka prarabdh hai. ve bhi kisi ki ichchha se unaka bhog kar rahe haian. koee bhi unhean anyatha nahian kar sakata. phir nishchit batoan mean ulajhan ki kalpana karake unhean sulajhane ke liye kyoan apane jivan ka amooly samay nasht karate ho! kyoan nahian bhagavanh ke bhajan mean, svarupakaravritti mean sthit rahate? yah parivartan to hone vala hi hai, ajnani isamean du:khi hoange, sukhi hoange, royeange-hanseange aur jo is tatv ko janate haian, ve hansane-rone ke nimitt samane ane par n hansate haian, n rote haian, samabhav se sthir rahate haian.
