मोहब्बत-ए-अमरोज़



माँ अमृत साधना जी ने एक साक्षात्कार के दौरान अमृता प्रीतम जी से से पुछा : 

'आपकी ओशो से जो मोहब्बत है उसे क्या नाम देंगी?'

अमृता जी जवाब दित्ता :

'देखो जी, मोहब्बत को कोई नाम नहीं दिया जा सकता। मैं इमरोज़ से मिली थी तो एक लाइन लिखी थी...यह मेरे आत्मा के घर-ओ-दीवार विच जगह-जगह, हर जगह आपको लिखी दिखाई देगी।'



बाप, बीर, दोस्त ते भांवज
किसी लब्जदा कोई नहीं रिश्ता 
उंज जदों में तैनू तकियां
सारे अक्खड़ बूढ़े हो गए 

('बाप, भाई, भांवज, दोस्त, किसी से कोई रिश्ता है। जब तुम्हे देखा तो सारे अक्षर गैर हो गये। तो जो अक्षरों को गैरा कर सकता है, जो रिश्ता लब्ज को गैरा कर सकता है ...उस मोहब्बत के रिश्ते को क्या नाम दें?')

Love Letter To All & Sundry....

लकड़हारे का ज्ञान :



पता नहीं आप 'गिरिजा शंकर' हैं या नहीं मगर फिर भी….

पता नहीं आप स्वयं सदियों से पीढ़ियों तक कभी इतने शोषित या दलित हुए हैं या नहीं की सिवाए खून की होली खेलने के अलावा आपके मन को कोई और रास्ता ना सूझ रहा हो मगर फिर भी।।।

पता नहीं नस-नस में बसे इस दर्द का साक्षात्कार आपके शोषक प्रवृत्ति वाले समाज, समाज के ठेकेदारों और आप जैसे वरिष्ठ पत्रकारों व् राजनीतिक विशलेषकों की अंतरात्मा को कभी हुआ है या नहीं मगर फिर भी।।।
  
पता नहीं आप खुद को इस हिंसात्मक प्रतिक्रिया का निर्माण करने में पूर्णतः भागीदार या जिम्मेदार मानते हैं या नहीं मगर फिर भी...

पता नहीं आप विकास के टापू का निर्माण आदिवासी माओवादियों के लिए करने का स्वप्न देख रहे हैं, दिखा रहें हैं या ये विकास समसामयिक मानवता के विकास के बजाये सामंतवादी मानसिकता के विकास हेतु है मगर फिर भी... 

पता नहीं इस ज़मीनी वस्तुस्थिति से आप रूबरू हैं या नहीं पार्ट इतना विकास तो जरुर हुआ है के अब दौलतमंद अकल मंदों को एक हजार बार भयभीत होकर, सोच-समझकर ही चालबाजी से ही चक्रव्यूह रचना  पड़ता है इन शोषण कर्ताओं को मगर फिर भी अपनी अंदरूनी फितरत से बाज़ नहीं आते हैं ये मोह-माया के साधक और पुजारी...

पता नहीं आप विकास-शोषण और सत्ता-संघर्ष के बीच में सदा से ना केवल स्थापित अपितु राज कर रहे शोषक मन से दैनिक जीवन में अहिंसात्मक आचार की उतनी ही उम्मीद रखते हैं या नहीं जितनी अपेक्षा आप शोषित वर्ग से प्रेमपूर्ण रवैय्ये को श्रद्धा एवं सबुरी से अख्तियार करने की रखते हैं मगर फिर भी...

पता नहीं इन दुर्गम पहाड़ियों व् जंगली इलाकों में जहाँ जीवन यापन करने का एकमात्र तरीका जंगली ही होता है वहाँ आप स्वयं अपनी विलासित जीवन यापन के तौर-तरीकों को छोड़कर ३ महीने के लिए भी जी पाएंगे या नहीं जिसकी वातानकुलित इच्छा आप सुरक्षा बलों से या राजनीतिक सरकारों से कर रहे हैं मगर फिर भी...

पता नहीं आप स्वयं प्रणव रॉय, मनमोहन सिंह, रमण सिंह, सोनिया गांधी जितने भी परिपक्व हैं या नहीं मगर फिर भी...

पता नहीं आप स्वयं की अंतरात्मा की आवाज़ को या आज के ही नईदुनिया समाचार पत्र में छपे संजय कपूर और प्रभात कुमार रॉय के आलेखों को पढ़ते-सुनते हैं या नहीं मगर फिर भी...

पता नहीं आप हमारी इन आलोचनात्मक टिप्पणियों को पढ़कर जवाब देने में अपना बहुमूल्य वक़्त जाया करेंगे या नहीं मगर फिर भी...
Man is bad case....isn't it?

LACK OF NEW VISION

The one who thinks of death goes through a revolutionary change in his/her life. Religiosity was impossible to thrive if there wouldn't have been death.
- Osho

DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR PAST..??

PAST is something which is no more, which has died. We should have the courage to give a farewell party to that past which has died. Even if you feel sad in doing so you should have the ability to do so. Saving that past in your MIND ACCOUNT is very dangerous.


Someone asked:
Was the whole of past wrong..??
Is whole of the past so bad that we need to leave it..??
Is there nothing good in past..??

He replied:
First & foremost,
Father dies
We do not bury him or burn him because he was bad
We do so because our Dad is dead
No one comes & says that your father was a very good person and so he should not be burnt or buried. Instead his dead body should be saved in your house.It's a must, a compulsory duty of the family to honor a good man who is now no more, who has died.
Does anyone told you to do so..??

Ditto is with PAST
But
mentally, we just keep on carrying the load of that past, that dead body on our heads even when it stinks with foul smell of decaying. It's because of this burden of the past that we indulge in carrying in our minds that it becomes almost impossible or very difficult for the new to take birth.
Imagine;
If some family decides to keep the dead body of anyone who dies in the family then it will be very difficult for the new child to take birth and if at all it dares to get born in such a house then chances are that it will go crazy, insane or even commit suicide.
That house will slowly turn into a mad-house.

I ask you to leave the past so that you can see the tomorrow.
I ask you to forget the past so that you can get rid of sorrow.
A soul lost in memories of the past creates hindrances for itself to live happily in the present moment or create a blissful future.

Russian or American children are planning to create colonies on Moon or Mars but what our Indian children are doing? They are watching Ramleela. There ain't anything wrong in watching Ramleela. There is a lot to learn or imbibe from the character of Rama but then to stop there, just watching it and not implying it in our day-to-day life is paralyses of our neck which holds our head cause it will no more be interested in seeing ahead.
Headlights of a car are in front and not on back. This, because light should be on the road which is taking us to our final destination.



Secondly;
This habit of ours to praise our past, to call it golden age, Ram-rajya or satyug is just denying the wholesome truth. It was never as blissful as the half-baked stories tell us. There is a psychiatric reason behind making such stories.

A new born child looks at his future. He has no past memories in his mind.
An old man sees only at his past because he only has his death to see in his future which he doesn't want to see. He indulges to watch fond memories of the past events that took in his life which he himself was not happy to live at that point of time but today he remembers those times as his nostalgic golden young age. That young age at that point of time was as common as his old age is but our mind tries hard to save only happy memories and wants to forget sad events. Our egoistic mind does not want to tolerate sad moments anymore and hence chooses to remember only the half-baked truth.

Ditto with children too;
Ask a child and no child will say that his childish or adolescent age is giving him any happiness. Children always try to get young as soon as possible because that is where they see happiness.
10-12 year old children are found smoking cigarette behind your eye cameras. Making love, watching porn is the latest trend. Don't think that children are doing so because they are finding happiness in smoking or to gain sexual pleasure because their bodies, their senses are yet not mature enough to feel so. That are just doing so because they feel that it is the facebookish status symbol to show-off that they have grown-up.Sick attitude it is to find power, fame or pleasure in showing off yourself mature when in fact you are not even young. The same child when he grows old talks about his so called golden childhood.

A tribe which has grown old talks about its past.
A young society always talks about its future.
A man growing old is natural but a society growing old is an hilarious accident.
Every person has to grow old but its not necessary that the mind too should grow as old as body does. The mind should remain young till the time of its death but Indian society because of its vast number of Indians has gone through a fatal accident of growing old.

It sees past not because past was very beautiful or wonderful but because even young Indians have lost the talent, capability or courage to create a holy future. But for darkness they are able to see nothing in the future and so they dwell in past.

This is what i term as total loss of a new vision.

Art of Breathing


People who commit suicide do nothing but STOP THEIR BREATHING.

Why..??

May be because they do not have courage enough to face the LIFE and the challenges, the problems, the sufferings which life offers them not to destroy them, punish them or kill them but only to make them realize their own hidden potential which lies within them but needs individualistic, authentic, thankful & meditative efforts to know their real true self.

Self-actualization, self-realization or enlightenment is what worldly or philosophical people term it but factually it is just total acceptance of life - as it is.

Thank God then, that breathing is something that goes on in spite of us.
Thank God, that we are not required to breathe, because it will be very difficult to live if we were required to breathe.

Someone might forget to breathe for a while and then nothing could be done.

Some other person suffering with egoistic belief that S/HE is the GOD of his life who controls each and every aspect of his life and its events therein might go through some disease or fact of life which s/he dislikes, hates or feels uncomfortable to accept in totality may then commit suicide in that single moment of life wherein s/he lost confidence in not only natural justice that life offers in some or the other way but also lost hope or trust in ALMIGHTY who gave him/her this life to live.



Yet another devil minded person might just try to rule on other people existing on Earth to live a life as per his/her wish or will. Dictator s/he might turn into. A tyrannic individual so to speak, who furiously forces people with his/her money, post or some other power to not only dictate his/her terms & conditions of living a secured life but also makes it compulsory to follow his/her rules without questioning his/her authority to do so. Complete devotion for him/herself is s/he seeks from us or else terrifies us to face untimely barbaric death.



SUICIDE then is not only a cowardly effort ( as heroine of bollywood hit film Aashiqui 2 terms it when she finds her lover has committed suicide because of some lame reasons) which makes suicider's family, friends, colleagues & all those who were directly or indirectly linked with the suicider go through a depressive, disappointed lifelong suffering but indeed is also the biggest disrespect, atheism or naastikta shown to none other than the Generator-Operator-Destroyer of life called GOD.

Please do link up to the link attached herewith to find the most significant key to live a blissful life - as it is in now & here.

Yes...it can take us from nowhere to now & here provided we pay due attention to prana......provided we don't keep on thinking, believing & trusting that living a blissful LIFE is not just about breathing consciously.    

Man is bad case....isnt it?

Breath: Doorway to a New Dimension 
We are breathing continuously from the moment of birth to the moment of death. Everything changes between these two points.

Everything changes, nothing remains the same.
Only breathing is a constant thing between birth and death.

The child will become a youth; the youth will become old. He will be diseased, his body will become ugly, ill; everything will change. He will be happy, unhappy, in suffering; everything will go on changing. But whatsoever happens between these two points, one must breathe. Whether happy or unhappy, young or old, successful or unsuccessful – whatsoever you are, it is irrelevant – one thing is certain: between these two points of birth and death you must breathe.

Breathing will be a continuous flow; no gap is possible. If even for a single moment you forget to breathe, you will be no more. That is why you are not required to breathe, because then it would be difficult. Someone might forget to breathe for a single moment, and then nothing could be done. So, really, you are not breathing, because you are not needed. You are fast asleep, and breathing goes on; you are unconscious, and breathing goes on; you are in a deep coma, and breathing goes on. You are not required; breathing is something that goes on in spite of you.

It is one of the constant factors in your personality  that is the first thing. It is something that is very essential and basic to life  that is the second thing.

You cannot be alive without breath. So breath and life have become synonymous. Breathing is the mechanism of life, and life is deeply related with breathing. That is why in India we call itprana. We have given one word for both: prana means the vitality, the aliveness. Your life is your breath.

Thirdly, your breath is a bridge between you and your body.

Constantly, breath is bridging you to your body, connecting you, relating you to your body. Not only is the breath a bridge to your body, it is also a bridge between you and the universe. The body is just the universe that has come to you, which is nearer to you.

Your body is part of the universe. Everything in the body is part of the universe – every particle, every cell. It is the nearest approach to the universe. Breath is the bridge. If the bridge is broken, you are no longer in the body. If the bridge is broken, you are no longer in the universe. You move into some unknown dimension; then you cannot be found in space and time. So, thirdly, breath is also the bridge between you, and space and time.

Breath, therefore, becomes very significant...the most significant thing. If you can do something with the breath, you will suddenly turn to the present. If you can do something with breath, you will attain to the source of life. If you can do something with breath, you can transcend time and space. If you can do something with breath, you will be in the world and also beyond it.

Breath has two points. One is where it touches the body and the universe, and another is where it touches you and that which transcends the universe.

We know only one part of the breath. When it moves into the universe, into the body, we know it. But it is always moving from the body to the “no-body,” from the “no-body” to the body. We do not know the other point. If you become aware of the other point, the other part of the bridge, the other pole of the bridge, suddenly you will be transformed, transplanted into a different dimension.

One has not to practice a particular style of breathing, a particular system of breathing or a particular rhythm of breathing – no! One has to take breathing as it is. One has just to become aware of certain points in the breathing.

There are certain points, but we are not aware of them. We have been breathing and we will go on breathing – we are born breathing and we will die breathing – but we are not aware of certain points. And this is strange. Man is searching, probing deep into space. Man is going to the moon; man is trying to reach farther, from earth into space, and man has not yet learned the nearest part of his life.

There are certain points in breathing which you have never observed, and those points are the doors  the nearest doors to you from where you can enter into a different world, into a different being, into a different consciousness.

He Rama...He Rama...He Rama

पूँछते हैं वो नादान बन-बनकर
बिना मुसलसल ईमान की नीयत बाँध 
की 
हर मुसलमान आतंकवादी नहीं होता 
तो हर आतंकवादी मुसलमान क्यों होता है?

 
जानते नहीं वे काफिर 
की
 आतंक का कोई धर्म, मजहब या दिन-ओ-ईमान नहीं होता 
चाहे वो फेसबुक पर मचाया जाए सरेआम 
या 
अपने ही घर में 
अपने ही घरवालों को 
बात-बेबात पर धमका-धमका कर किया जाए सुबह-शाम
क्यूँकी 
पाखंडी इंसानो ने पाक-साफ़ इंसान को 
मजहबों में, धर्मो में, सांप्रदायिक ताक़तों में, 
बाँट-बांटकर रख दिया है 
हमारे अपने ही 'मन' ने उनकी हाँ में हाँ भरी है 
हो कर के अनजान
पाँच इन्द्रियों का स्वामी बन बैठा है
हमारा अपना ही 'मन'
भुलाकर अपना ही अंजाम 
अंतरात्मा तो जैसे गुलाम ही हो गई है 
मन रूपी देवराज इंद्र की 
या
 क्या पता शायद मर ही चुकी हो अब तक 
सदियों से हमारे अपने ही मन की रचित बेड़ियों में क़ैद रह रहकर 
वो तो खैर मनाइए जगत कृपालु कृपानिधान की
की;
परमात्मा की करुणा कहिये, 
अल्लाह की रहमदिली कहिये, 
रब्ब दी मेहर कहिये 
या 
कहिये God blessing Almighty की 
के;
'मन' रूपी भगवान् की मनोकामनाओं का बस नहीं चलता
पल-पल मनोवांछित फल पाने-खोने का हम पर 
वर्ना तो
 उसने ना जाने कब से ही हमारे खून की रंगत को नफासत को, 
हमारी हड्डियों की बनावट को ताक़त को, 
हमारी साँसों की आवाजाही के तूफ़ान को, 
हमारी नसों की रूहानियत को इबादत को, 
हमारी आँखों में बसे रोशनी के चिरागों को, जज्बों को, नूर को 
उस ज़ालिम ने अब तक अपनी हैवानियत की बदौलत 
अब तक जाने कितने भागों में बाँट-बांटकर 
टुकड़े-टुकड़े कर दिया होता 
क्यों ..??
हाँ ये है असल क्यों
 की क्योंकर करना चाहता है हमारा 'मन' 
हमारे ही साथ ये दुष्कृत्य ..??
खोज जो दिल आपना 
तो मिला ये जवाब 
की;
मनवा मेरे - तुम ही बुरे हो तुमसा बुरा ना कोए 
गाने लगी अंतरात्मा फिर एक बार मन ही मन 
की;
मन रे तू काहे ना धीर धरे 
वो निर्मोही मोह ना जाने जिनका मोह करे  
 हाँ ये सब सिर्फ इसलिए 
ताकि 
हम कभी भी प्रेम और सौहार्द के धर्मनिरपेक्ष वातावरण में 
जीने की अभिलाषा तो क्या एक अदना सी लालसा या कल्पना तक ना कर सकें 
ताउम्र कहीं भी - कभी भी
और 'राम राज्य' के बजाये 
उनकी ही स्वार्थ-सिद्धि हेतु स्थापित किये गए 
'मन-राज' की गुलामी करते रहें क़यामत से क़यामत तक
हे राम ... हे राम ... हे राम
