Kabhi-kabhi main khud se ek sawal poochta hoon —
kya zindagi me khush rehna hi sab kuch hai, ya phir zindagi ka koi aur bhi gehra sach hota hai jise hum aksar dekh nahi paate?

Bachpan se hume ek hi baat sikhayi jaati hai ki zindagi ka maksad khush rehna hai. Har insaan khushiyon ke peeche bhaagta hai. Har koi chahta hai ki uske paas sukh ho, suvidha ho, aur uski zindagi me takleef kam se kam aaye.

Par dheere-dheere zindagi ne mujhe ek alag hi baat samjhayi.

Maine mehsoos kiya ki khushiyan aksar insaan ko utna nahi sikhati jitna dukh sikhata hai.

Khushi jab aati hai to insaan halka mehsoos karta hai. Dil ko sukoon milta hai. Par us waqt insaan zyada sochta nahi hai. Woh bas us pal ko jeeta hai aur dheere-dheere us sukoon ki aadat pad jaati hai.

Insaan ko lagne lagta hai ki sab theek chal raha hai.

Lekin zindagi ka sach aksar us waqt saamne aata hai jab dukh darwaza khatkhatata hai.

Dukh insaan ko chain se baithne nahi deta.
Woh baar-baar dil aur dimaag ko jhunjhodta hai.

Jab takleef hoti hai tab insaan majboor ho jata hai khud se sawal karne ke liye.

Main kaun hoon?
Main kya kar raha hoon?
Aur main kis raaste par chal raha hoon?

Shayad isi liye dheere-dheere mujhe yeh samajh aaya ki zindagi me dukh sirf ek takleef nahi hota.

Woh ek darpan hota hai.

Ek aisa darpan jisme insaan apni asli tasveer dekh sakta hai.

Khushiyon me aksar hum wahi dekhte hain jo hum dekhna chahte hain.
Par dukh hume woh dikhata hai jo sach me hota hai.

Kabhi-kabhi mujhe lagta hai ki khushiyan meetha zehar hoti hain.

Woh dheere-dheere insaan ko sula deti hain.
Insaan ko lagta hai sab theek hai, aur phir woh apne andar jhaankna hi band kar deta hai.

Par dukh…

Dukh ek kadwi dawa ki tarah hota hai.

Uska swaad bhale hi kadwa ho, lekin woh insaan ko andar se jagaye rakhta hai.

Jab zindagi me takleefein aati hain tab insaan ko apni kamzoriyan bhi nazar aati hain aur apni asli taqat bhi mehsoos hoti hai.

Maine aksar dekha hai ki jin logon ne zindagi me gehra dard mehsoos kiya hota hai, unki aankhon me ek alag hi samajh hoti hai.

Woh samajh kisi kitab se nahi aati.

Woh zindagi se aati hai.

Dukh insaan ko dheere-dheere yeh sikha deta hai ki zindagi sirf khushiyon ke peeche bhaagne ka naam nahi hai.

Zindagi asal me jagte rehne ka naam hai.

Aur jagte rehne ke liye kabhi-kabhi dukh ka hona bhi zaruri hota hai.

Iska matlab yeh nahi ki insaan dukh chahta hai.

Lekin jab dukh aaye, to use sirf badkismati samajh kar thukrana bhi sahi nahi hota.

Kabhi-kabhi wahi dukh insaan ko uski asli pehchaan se milane aata hai.

Isi liye dheere-dheere maine mehsoos kiya ki mere jeevan me dukh mera dushman nahi hai.

Woh ek sacha saathi hai.

Kyuki khushiyan aksar mujhe kuch pal ke liye bhula deti hain ki main kaun hoon.

Par dukh mujhe har baar yaad dilata hai ki mujhe abhi aur samajhna hai, aur abhi khud ko aur gehra dekhna hai.

Aur jab insaan dukh ke is darpan me khud ko dekh leta hai, tab use zindagi ka ek aisa sach nazar aata hai jo khushiyon ke shor me kabhi dikhai nahi deta.

Shayad isi ko main kehta hoon —

satya ka darpan.
