Priya-lal hamen darshan kyon nahi dete?

yadi prabhu sarvvyapi aur param dayalu hain, to ve samukh kyon nahi ate? Kya ve hamari karun pukar nahi sunte, ya ve hamse milna hi nahi chahte?” aksar ham unki is anupasthiti ko unki nishthurta ya apni upeksha man lete hain. Prabhu ka darshan na dena unki crurta nahi, balki unki atishay karuna hai. Ve samne isliye nahi ate kyonki abhi ham us ‘maha-sukh’ ko jhelne ke liye tayyar hi nahi hain.

prabhu ka sakshat saundarya

ham aksar prabhu ke darshan ki maang to karte hain, lekin hamen iska abhas nahi hota ki us darshan ka prabhav hamare sthul sharir par kya hoga. Jab ham tuchch sansarik sukh-dukh ko hi sahan nahi kar pate aur chhoti si pratikultaa mein apna mansik santulan kho dete hain, to us ‘maha prem sukh’ ke prachnd veg ko hamara hriday kaise sambhal payega? Prabhu ka darshan matra ek drishya nahi hai; wah anant urja, asim saundarya aur alaukik prem ka ek aisa visphot hai jo sharir ke kan-kan ko jhankrit kar deta hai.

kyon shuruati anand ab phika lagne laga hai?

anek sadhak is baat se nirash ho jaate hain ki “jab hamne bhakti shuru ki thi, tab jo romach aur anand milta tha, wah ab kyon nahi milta?” anand ka kam hona vastav mein aapki kshamta ka badhna hai.

• jab koi vyakti pahli bar nasha (jaise bhang) karta hai, to use ek chhoti si goli se hi gahra asar mehsus hota hai.
• lekin jaise-jaise wah uska abhyasta hota jaata hai, wahi purani matra uske liye ‘samannya’ (Baseline) ho jati hai. Ab use aur unche nashe ka anubhav karne ke liye badi khurak chahiye hoti hai.

theek isi tarah, jab koi naya sadhak naam-jap shuru karta hai ya pahli bar Vrindavan ki raj mein aata hai, to use bahut sukh milta hai. Dhire-dhire wah sukh ‘samannya’ lagne lagta hai. Yah anand ki kami nahi hai, balki yah sanket hai ki pichhla anand aapke bhitar ‘pach’ gaya hai. Aapka hriday ab vistrit ho chuka hai aur wah aur bhi adhik gehre ateendriy anand ko sambhalne ke liye tayyar ho raha hai.

sahat-sahat badhe bhakti

prabhu aur guru kabhi sadhak ko agadh anand dete hain aur kabhi ‘jalan’ (virah ki tadap). Yah jalan koi saja nahi, balki hriday ko ‘tapane’ ki prakriya hai. Jaise dhatu ko aag mein tapakar use majbut banaya jaata hai, waise hi yah virah ki agni sadhak ke hriday ko paripakva karti hai. Guru dhire-dhire kripa karke bhakt ko us param sukh ko sahne ka abhyaas karate hain. Is kramik vikas ka antim lakshya yah hai ki bhakt apni khuli ankhon se ‘nitya vihar’ (prabhu ki divya leela) ka darshan kare aur us samay na to uska hriday phate, na hi wah murchhit hokar gire. Jab hriday puri tarah paripakva ho jaata hai, tab wah sakshat prabhu ke saundarya aur prem ke mahasagar ko samne pakar bhi sthir rah pata hai.

nishkarsh

sadhna ka vastvik uddeshya keval ‘darshan pana’ nahi, balki swayam ko us ‘darshan ke yogya’ banana hai. Prabhu ka abhi na milna vastav mein unki surakshatmak karuna hai, taki jab ve milen, to ham us sukh ko sthayi rup se ji sake, na ki usse nasht ho jaen. Bhakti ka marg keval utsah ka nahi, balki dhairyapurwak apni sahanshakti aur patrata viksit karne ka marg hai.

ant mein, swayam se yah prashn avashya puchhen: “kya ham apni bhakti mein keval tatkalik utsah khoj rahe hain, ya ham us samarth ko viksit karne ka dhairya rakhte hain jo sakshat param saundarya ko sahan kar sake?”
