Episode 3: “Episode 3: “”

[HOOK] Ek sher, jo poori zindagi apne aap ko bhed samajhta raha. Shayad yeh kahani tumhari bhi hai.

[STORY] Jungle mein ek sherni gabhan thi. Shikaar ke dauran uski jaan chali gayi, aur uska bachcha bhedon ke jhund ke paas pada mila.

Bhedon ne use apna liya. Woh bada hua ghaas khaata, mimiyata, jhund ke saath darta-bhagta.

Use pata hi nahi tha ki woh sher hai. Ek din ek bada sher jhund ke paas aaya. Saari bhedein bhaag gayi, aur woh “bhed-sher” bhi bhaagta raha. Bade sher ne use pakda, aur woh kaanpne laga.

Sher usse nadi ke kinare le gaya, paani mein dono ki parchhai dikhayi, aur bola, “Dekh. Tu mere jaisa hai.” Aur tab bachche ke andar se pehli dahaad nikli.

[INSIGHT] Osho yeh kahani kayi baar sunate the. Humne bhi apne aap ko wahi samjha jo humein bachpan se bataya gaya: “tum aise ho, tum itne hi kaabil ho.”

Bhed ka jhund family, society, schooling hai. Teacher ka kaam bas aaina dikhana hai. Dahaadna tumhe khud hai.

[TAKEAWAY] Aaj ek “main toh aisa hi hoon” wala label dhoondo. Poocho: yeh maine kab seekha, aur kisne diya?

Tum bhed nahi the. Bas kisi ne tumhe kabhi parchhai nahi dikhayi.”

Episode 2: “Chaabi Wahan Nahi, Jahan Roshni Hai”

Mulla Nasruddin raat ko sadak pe kuch dhoondh rahe the. Aur unki logic perfect thi. Bas galat jagah pe.

Mulla Nasruddin street light ke neeche ghutno ke bal baithe the, zameen pe haath pheer rahe the. Padosi ne poocha, “Kya kho gaya?” “Meri chaabi.” Padosi bhi dhoondhne lag gaya. Der tak dhoondhne ke baad usne poocha, “Pakka yahin giri thi?” Mulla bole, “Nahi, woh toh ghar ke andar gir gayi thi.” “Toh yahan kyun dhoondh rahe ho?” Mulla ne seedha jawaab diya: “Kyunki yahan roshni hai.”

Yeh mazaak hai, lekin Osho ise insaan ki poori zindagi ka mirror mante the. Hum khushi, sukoon, pyaar wahan dhoondhte hain jahan roshni hai: paisa, status, shopping, scrolling. Kyunki wahan dhoondhna aasaan hai, comfortable hai. Lekin cheez andar kho gayi thi, jahan andhera lagta hai.

Aaj khud se poocho, “Main sukoon kahan dhoondh raha hoon? Wahan jahan roshni hai, ya wahan jahan woh kho gaya tha?”

Roshni mein dhoondhna aasaan hai. Lekin chaabi andar ke andhere mein hai.

Episode 1: “Khaali Pyala”

Ek professor chai peene gaye, aur chai ne unhe woh sikhaya jo saalon ki padhai nahi sikha paayi. Japan mein ek Zen master the, Nan-in. Ek din ek bade professor unke paas aaye, Zen seekhne.

Aate hi unhone apni degrees, apni theories, apne opinions sunane shuru kar diye. Master ne kuch nahi kaha. Bas chai banayi aur professor ke cup mein daalni shuru ki. Cup bhar gaya. Master daalte rahe. Chai table pe behne lagi, zameen pe girne lagi. Professor ghabra gaye: “Ruko! Cup poora bhar chuka hai!” Master muskuraye: “Bilkul aapke dimaag ki tarah. Pehle se bhara hua. Isme naya kuch kaise daalun? Pehle apna cup khaali karke aaiye.” Osho is kahani ko apne dhyan ki neev ki tarah sunate the. Hum sab kuch seekhne se pehle hi maan lete hain ki hum jaante hain. “Yeh toh mujhe pata hai” sabse bada tala hai. Khaali hone ka matlab bewakoof hona nahi hai. Iska matlab hai ki jo jaante ho, usse thodi der ke liye side mein rakh sako. Aaj kisi se baat karte waqt, jab dimaag bole “yeh toh mujhe pata hai”, ek pal ruko aur aise suno jaise pehli baar sun rahe ho. Naya sirf khaali cup mein aata hai. Pehle woh jagah banao.
