Uparwaley Ka Phone

मैं उपरवाला बोल रहा हूँ, जिसने ये पूरी दुनिया बनाई वो उपरवाला ।

तंग आ चूका हूँ मैं तुम लोगों से ।

घर का ध्यान तुम न रखो और चोरी हो जाये तो, "उपरवाले तूने क्या किया"।

गाड़ी तुम तेज़ चलाओ और धक्का लग जाये तो, "उपरवाले........"।

पढाई तुम न करो और फेल हो जाओ तो, "उपरवाले........."।

ऐसा लगता है इस दुनिया में होने वाले हर गलत काम का जिम्मेदार मैं हूँ।

आजकल तुम लोगो ने एक नया फैशन बना लिया है, जो काम तुम लोग नहीं कर सकते, उसे करने में मुझे भी असमर्थ बता देते हो!

उपरवाला भी भ्रष्टाचार नहीं मिटा सकता, उपरवाला भी महंगाई नहीं रोक सकता, उपरवाला भी बलात्कार नहीं रोक सकता....... ये सब क्या है?

भ्रष्टाचार किसने बनाया?

मैंने?

किससे रिश्वत लेते देखा है तुमने मुझे?

मैं तो हवा, पानी, धुप, आदि सबके लिए बराबर देता हूँ, कभी देखा है कि ठण्ड के दिनों में अम्बानी के घर के ऊपर मैं तेज़ धुप दे रहा हूँ, या गर्मी में सिर्फ उसके घर बारिश हो रही है ?

उल्टा तुम मेरे पास आते हो रिश्वत की पेशकश लेकर, कभी लड्डू, कभी पड़े, कभी चादर ।

और हा, आइन्दा से मुझे लड्डू की पेशकश की तो तुम्हारी खैर नहीं, मेरे नाम पे पूरा डब्बा खरीदते हो, एक टुकड़ा मुझपर फेंक कर बाकि खुद ही खा जाते हो।

ये महंगाई किसने बनाई?

मैंने?

मैंने सिर्फ ज़मीन बनाई, उसे "प्लाट" बनाकर बेचा किसने?

मैंने पानी बनाया, उसे बोतलों में भरकर बेचा किसने?

मैंने जानवर बनाये, उन्हें मवेशी कहकर बेचा किसने?

मैंने पेड़ बनाये, उन्हें लकड़ी कहकर बेचा किसने?

मैंने आज तक तुम्हे कोई वस्तु बेचीं?

किसी वस्तु का पैसा लिया?

सब चीज़ों में कसूर मेरा निकालते हो।

अभी भी समय है सुधर जाओ वरना फिर मत कहना ये प्रलय क्यूँ आया ।

ज्ञान और गलतफहमी

एक जौहरी के निधन के बाद उसका परिवार संकट में पड़ गया.. खाने के भी लाले पड़ गए..!

एक दिन उसकी पत्नी ने अपने बेटे को नीलम का एक हार देकर कहा, "बेटा, इसे अपने चाचा की दुकान पर ले जाओ.. कहना इसे बेचकर कुछ रुपये दे दो..!"

बेटा वह हार लेकर चाचा जी के पास गया.. चाचा ने हार को अच्छी तरह से देख परखकर कहा- "बेटा, मां से कहना कि अभी बाजार बहुत मंदा है.. थोड़ा रुककर बेचना, अच्छे दाम मिलेंगे..!"

तत्पश्चात उसे थोड़े से रुपये देकर कहा- "तुम कल से दुकान पर आकर बैठना..!"

अगले दिन से वह लड़का रोज दुकान पर जाने लगा और वहां हीरों की परख का काम सीखने लगा..

एक दिन वह बड़ा पारखी बन गया.. लोग दूर-दूर से अपने हीरे की परख कराने आने लगे..!

एक दिन उसके चाचा ने कहा, "बेटा अपनी मां से वह हार लेकर आना और कहना कि अब बाजार बहुत तेज है, उसके अच्छे दाम मिल जाएंगे..!"

मां से हार लेकर उसने परखा तो पाया कि वह तो नकली है.. वह उसे घर पर ही छोड़ कर दुकान लौट आया..!

चाचा ने पूछा, "हार नहीं लाए..?"

उसने कहा, "वह तो नकली था..!"

तब चाचा ने कहा, "जब तुम पहली बार हार लेकर आए थे, तब मैं उसे नकली बता देता तो तुम सोचते कि आज हम पर बुरा वक्त आया तो चाचा हमारी चीज को भी नकली बताने लगे..! आज जब तुम्हें खुद ज्ञान हो गया तो पता चल गया कि हार सचमुच नकली है..!"

सच यह है कि ज्ञान के बिना इस संसार में हम जो भी सोचते, देखते और जानते हैं, सब गलत है.. और ऐसी ही गलतफहमी का शिकार होकर रिश्ते बिगडते हैं..!

Deposits Of Happiness

Priya married Hitesh this day. 

At the end of the wedding party, Priya’s mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook. With Rs.1000 deposit amount. 

Mother: Priya, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there’s something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it’s about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I’ve done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh. When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you’ve had. 

Priya shared this with Hitesh when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made. 

This was what they did after certain time: - 

- 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Hitesh after marriage 

- 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Priya 

- 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali 

- 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Priya got pregnant 

- 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Hitesh got promoted …. and so on… 

However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial things. They didn’t talk much. They regretted that they had married the most nasty people in the world…. no more love… Kind of typical nowadays, huh? 

One day Priya talked to her Mother: ‘Mom, we can’t stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can’t imagine how I decided to marry this guy!!!’ 

Mother: ‘Sure, girl, that’s no big deal. Just do whatever you want if you really can’t stand it. But before that, do one thing first. Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out all money and spend it first. You shouldn’t keep any record of such a poor marriage.’ 

Priya thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the queue and planning to cancel the account. While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She looked, and looked, and looked. Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. 

She left and went home. When she was home, she handed the passbook to Hitesh, asked him to spend the money before getting divorce. 

The next day, Hitesh gave the passbook back to Priya. She found a new deposit of Rs.5000. And a line next to the record: ‘This is the day I notice how much I’ve loved you thru out all these years. How much happiness you’ve brought me.’ 

They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe. 

Do you know how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not ask. I believe the money did not matter anymore after they had gone thru all the good years in their life. 

P.S.: Life is about the moments you create, that u can keep it with you FOREVER. After everything is over, THAT is what we have or what we are left with.

Al-Gebra

Teacher Arrested At JFK.

A public school teacher was arrested today at John F Kennedy International Airport this morning as he attempted to board a flight while in the possession of a ruler, a protractor, slide rule, and a calculator. 

At the press conference just before noon today, attorney general Eric Holder said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. Although he did not identify the man he confirmed the man has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

“AL-Gebra is a problem for us” the Attorney General said. “They derive solutions by mean and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values. They use secret names like x and y, and refer to themselves as unknowns. But, we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, “There are three sides to every triangle”. 

The Attorney General went on to say “Teaching our children sentient thought processes and equipping them to solve problems is dangerous and puts our government at risk.

Ai Zindagi

Ahista chal zindagi, 

abhi kai karz chukana baaki hai. 

Kuch dard mitana baaki hai, 

kuch farz nibhana baaki hai. 

Raftaar mein tere chalne se,

kuchh rooth gaye, kuch chhut gaye. 

Roothon ko manana baaki hai, 

roton ko hasana baki hai. 

Kuch hasraatein abhi adhuri hain, 

kuch kaam bhi aur zaruri hai. 

Khwahishen jo ghut gayi is dil mein, 

unko dafnana baki hai. 

Kuch rishte ban kar toot gaye, 

kuch judte-judte chhut gaye. 

Un tootte-chhutte rishton ke, 

zakhmon ko mitana baki hai. 

Tu aage chal main aata hoon, 

kya chhod tujhe ji paunga? 

In saanson par haqq hai jinka, 

unko samjhaana baaki hai. 

Aahista chal zindagi, 

abhi kai karz chukana baki hai...

Smart George

Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business.

Several members did not approve of her extra curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.

She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon.

She emphatically told George (and several others) that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing.

George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away.

He didn't explain, defend, or deny.

He said nothing.

Later that evening, George quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred's house... walked home... and left it there all night.

You gotta love George.

Bombay Duck

Consider the unfortunate 'Bombay Duck'...

Neither from Bombay, nor a duck;
Clearly a fish that is out of luck.

Named for the train that brought it to the city;
Ugly as sin, it deserves your pity.

But, squeeze out the Arabian Sea in which it was spawned;
Embalm in a pungent mixture, carefully ground.

Slow cook it over an embracing flame,
Warn your veggie neighbours - especially Mrs Jain!

Soon, a pungent odour will rise in the air,
redolent of oceans, trawlers n rugged men, with wind in their hair.

As the edges begin to sizzle and the skin turns to gold,
You'll feel as elated as Sanjay on his third parole.

It's crispy, it's crumbly, it's a winner without doubt;
Its flavours explode against the roof of your mouth.

They swirl and they roll like the surf on the beach,
they access parts of you even Budweiser can't reach.

The end is now nigh, you slow the pace.
You regret having started with stuffing your face.

But as the last piece disappears, you so want to cry :
You just finished your plate of Bombil Fry.......!

श्री कृष्णा, अर्जुन और एक निर्धन ब्राहमण

एक बार श्री कृष्ण और अर्जुन भ्रमण पर निकले तो उन्होंने मार्ग में एक निर्धन ब्राहमण को भिक्षा मागते देखा।

अर्जुन को उस पर दया आ गयी और उन्होंने उस ब्राहमण को स्वर्ण मुद्राओ से भरी एक पोटली दे दी। जिसे पाकर ब्राहमण प्रसन्नता पूर्वक अपने सुखद भविष्य के सुन्दर स्वप्न देखता हुआ घर लौट चला।

किन्तु उसका दुर्भाग्य उसके साथ चल रहा था, राह में एक लुटेरे ने उससे वो पोटली छीन ली।

ब्राहमण दुखी होकर फिर से भिक्षावृत्ति में लग गया।अगले दिन फिर अर्जुन की दृष्टि जब उस ब्राहमण पर पड़ी तो उन्होंने उससे इसका कारण पूछा।

ब्राहमण ने सारा विवरण अर्जुन को बता दिया, ब्राहमण की व्यथा सुनकर अर्जुन को फिर से उस पर दया आ गयी अर्जुन ने विचार किया और इस बार उन्होंने ब्राहमण को मूल्यवान एक माणिक दिया।

ब्राहमण उसे लेकर घर पंहुचा उसके घर में एक पुराना घड़ा था जो बहुत समय से प्रयोग नहीं किया गया था,ब्राह्मण ने चोरी होने के भय से माणिक उस घड़े में छुपा दिया।

किन्तु उसका दुर्भाग्य, दिन भर का थका मांदा होने के कारण उसे नींद आ गयी। इस बीच ब्राहमण की स्त्री नदी में जल लेने चली गयी किन्तु मार्ग में ही उसका घड़ा टूट गया, उसने सोंचा, घर में जो पुराना घड़ा पड़ा है उसे ले आती हूँ, ऐसा विचार कर वह घर लौटी और उस पुराने घड़े को ले कर चली गई और जैसे ही उसने घड़े को नदी में डुबोया वह माणिक भी जल की धारा के साथ बह गया।

ब्राहमण को जब यह बात पता चली तो अपने भाग्य को कोसता हुआ वह फिर भिक्षावृत्ति में लग गया।

अर्जुन और श्री कृष्ण ने जब फिर उसे इस दरिद्र अवस्था में देखा तो जाकर उसका कारण पूंछा।

सारा वृतांत सुनकर अर्जुन को बड़ी हताशा हुई और मन ही मन सोचने लगे इस अभागे ब्राहमण के जीवन में कभी सुख नहीं आ सकता।

अब यहाँ से प्रभु की लीला प्रारंभ हुई।उन्होंने उस ब्राहमण को दो पैसे दान में दिए।

तब अर्जुन ने उनसे पुछा “प्रभु मेरी दी मुद्राए और माणिक भी इस अभागे की दरिद्रता नहीं मिटा सके तो इन दो पैसो से इसका क्या होगा” ?

यह सुनकर प्रभु बस मुस्कुरा भर दिए और अर्जुन से उस ब्राहमण के पीछे जाने को कहा।

रास्ते में ब्राहमण सोचता हुआ जा रहा था कि "दो पैसो से तो एक व्यक्ति के लिए भी भोजन नहीं आएगा प्रभु ने उसे इतना तुच्छ दान क्यों दिया ? प्रभु की यह कैसी लीला है? "
 

ऐसा विचार करता हुआ वह चला जा रहा था उसकी दृष्टि एक मछुवारे पर पड़ी, उसने देखा कि मछुवारे के जाल में एक मछली फँसी है, और वह छूटने के लिए तड़प रही है ।

ब्राहमण को उस मछली पर दया आ गयी। उसने सोचा, "इन दो पैसो से पेट की आग तो बुझेगी नहीं। क्यों? न इस मछली के प्राण ही बचा लिए जाये।"

यह सोचकर उसने दो पैसो में उस मछली का सौदा कर लिया और मछली को अपने कमंडल में डाल लिया। कमंडल में जल भरा और मछली को नदी में छोड़ने चल पड़ा।

तभी मछली के मुख से कुछ निकला।उस निर्धन ब्राह्मण ने देखा ,वह वही माणिक था जो उसने घड़े में छुपाया था। ब्राहमण प्रसन्नता के मारे चिल्लाने लगा “मिल गया, मिल गया ”

तभी भाग्यवश वह लुटेरा भी वहाँ से गुजर रहा था जिसने ब्राहमण की मुद्राये लूटी थी। उसने ब्राह्मण को चिल्लाते हुए सुना “ मिल गया मिल गया ” लुटेरा भयभीत हो गया। उसने सोंचा कि ब्राहमण उसे पहचान गया है और इसीलिए चिल्ला रहा है, अब जाकर राजदरबार में उसकी शिकायत करेगा।

इससे डरकर वह ब्राहमण से रोते हुए क्षमा मांगने लगा। और उससे लूटी हुई सारी मुद्राये भी उसे वापस कर दी।

यह देख अर्जुन प्रभु के आगे नतमस्तक हुए बिना नहीं रह सके।

अर्जुन बोले, प्रभु यह कैसी लीला है? जो कार्य थैली भर स्वर्ण मुद्राएँ और मूल्यवान माणिक नहीं कर सका वह आपके दो पैसो ने कर दिखाया।

श्री कृष्णा ने कहा “अर्जुन यह अपनी सोंच का अंतर है, जब तुमने उस निर्धन को थैली भर स्वर्ण मुद्राएँ और मूल्यवान माणिक दिया तब उसने मात्र अपने सुख के विषय में सोचा। किन्तु जब मैनें उसको दो पैसे दिए। तब उसने दूसरे के दुःख के विषय में सोचा। इसलिए हे अर्जुन-सत्य तो यह है कि, जब आप दूसरो के दुःख के विषय में सोंचते है, जब आप दूसरे का भला कर रहे होते हैं, तब आप ईश्वर का कार्य कर रहे होते हैं, और तब ईश्वर आपके साथ होते हैं।

An Obituary For Common Sense

An Obituary printed in the London Times.....Absolutely Dead Brilliant!!

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

- Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- And maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death,
-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-and by his son, Reason.

He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers;
- I Know My Rights
- I Want It Now
- Someone Else Is To Blame
- I'm A Victim
- Pay me for Doing Nothing

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

See The Good In Life

A famous writer was in his study room. 

He picked up his pen and started writing:
 

**Last year, I had a surgery and my gall bladder was removed. I had to stay stuck to the bed due to this surgery for a long time.
 

**The same year I reached the age of 60 years and had to give up my favourite job. I had spent 30 years of my life in this publishing company.
 

**The same year I experienced the sorrow of the death of my father.
 

**And in the same year my son failed in his medical exam because he had a car accident. He had to stay in bed at hospital with the cast on for several days. The destruction of car was another loss.
 

At the end he wrote: Alas! It was such bad year!!
 

When the writer's wife entered the room, she found her husband looking sad lost in his thoughts. From behind his back she read what was written on the paper. She left the room silently and came back with another paper and placed it on side of her husband's writing.
 

When the writer saw this paper, he found this written on it:
 

**Last year I finally got rid of my gall bladder due to which I had spent years in pain.
 

**I turned 60 with sound health and got retired from my job. Now I can utilize my time to write something better with more focus and peace.
 

**The same year my father, at the age of 95, without depending on anyone or without any critical condition met his Creator.
 

 **The same year, God blessed my son with a new life. My car was destroyed but my son stayed alive without getting any disability.
 

At the end she wrote:
 

This year was an immense blessing of God and it passed well!!
 

See!! The same incidents but different viewpoints. If we ponder with this viewpoint that what could have happened more, we would truly become thankful to the Almighty.

Moral : In daily lives we must see that its not happiness that makes us grateful but gratefulness that makes us happy.

There is always, always, always something to be thankful for. Stay Blessed.

Gifting Is Not Trading

Once Krishna and Arjuna were walking towards a village. Arjuna was pestering Krishna, asking him why Karna should be considered unparalled donor and not him.

To prove his point, Krishna then turned two mountains nearby into gold.

Then He said, "Arjuna, distribute these two gold mountains among villagers, but you must donate every bit of it ".

Arjuna went into the village, and proclaimed he was going to donate gold to every villager, and asked them to gather near the mountain. The villagers sang his praises and Arjuna walked towards the mountain with a huffed up chest.

For two days and two nights Arjuna shoveled gold from the mountain and donated to each villager. The mountains did not diminish in their slightest.

Most villagers came back and stood in queue within minutes. Now Arjuna was exhausted, but not ready to let go of ego, told Krishna he could not go on any longer without rest.

Here Krishna called Karna and told him to donate every bit of two gold mountains.

Karna called two villagers, and said, "Those two gold mountains are yours", and walked away.

Arjuna sat dumbfounded. Why had this thought not occurred to him?

Krishna smiled mischievously and told him, "Arjuna, subconsciously, you were attracted to the gold, you regretfully gave it away to each villager, giving them what you thought was a generous amount. Thus the size of your donation to each villager depended only on your imagination. Karna holds no such reservations. Look at him walking away after giving away a fortune, he doesn't expect people to sing his praises, he doesn't even care if people talk good or bad about him behind his back. That is the sign of a man already on the path of enlightenment".
 

Giving with an Expectation of a Return in the form of a Compliment or Thanks is not a Gift, then it becomes a Trade.
 

So, give without expecting anything in Return !!

Have Confidence In Your Capabilities

A Businessman was deep in debt and could not see any way out.

Creditors and Suppliers were demanding payments. He sat in the park, deep in thought, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.

Suddenly an old man appeared before him and asked, "I can see that something is troubling you seriously".

After listening patiently the old man said, "I believe I can help yonnu". He asked the man his name, wrote out a cheque and put it into his hands saying, "Take this money, meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time".

Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.

The businessman saw in his hands a cheque for $ 500,000... signed by Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world.
 

"I can erase my worries instantly" he realized. But instead, the man decided to put the uncashed cheque in his safe, knowing that it might give him the strength to work out to save his business and to use this only in case of dire emergency.

With changed thinking he negotiated better deals,restructured his business and worked rigorously with full zeal and enthusiasm and got several big deals.
Within few months, he was out of debt and started making money once again.
 

Exactly one year later he returned to the park with the uncashed cheque.

As agreed, the old man appeared.

But just as the businessman was about to hand him back the cheque and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man.
 

"I’m so glad I caught him" she cried. "I hope he hasn’t been bothering you much. He always escapes from the mental hospital and tells people that he is Warren Buffet", saying this she took the old man away.

The surprised man just stood there, stunned! All year long he had been dealing thinking that he had half a million dollars behind him.

Its not the money, real or imagined that turns our life around. It is our Self-confidence that gives us the power to achieve anything and everything that we want.

Have a Confident life...........

राधा - कृष्ण

मै नही जानता ये काव्य है या गद्य रचना.....किंतु... ये पढने के बाद एक "आह" और एक "वाह" जरुर निकलेगी...

स्वर्ग में विचरण करते हुए
अचानक एक दुसरे के सामने आ गए
विचलित से कृष्ण-
प्रसन्नचित सी राधा...

कृष्ण सकपकाए,
राधा मुस्काई

इससे पहले कृष्ण कुछ कहते
राधा बोल उठी-
"कैसे हो द्वारकाधीश ??"

जो राधा उन्हें कान्हा कान्हा कह के बुलाती थी
उसके मुख से द्वारकाधीश का संबोधन कृष्ण को भीतर तक घायल कर गया

फिर भी किसी तरह अपने आप को संभाल लिया
और बोले राधा से ...
"मै तो तुम्हारे लिए आज भी कान्हा हूँ
तुम तो द्वारकाधीश मत कहो!
आओ बैठते है ....
कुछ मै अपनी कहता हूँ
कुछ तुम अपनी कहो
 सच कहूँ राधा
जब जब भी तुम्हारी याद आती थी
इन आँखों से आँसुओं की बुँदे निकल आती थी..."

बोली राधा -
"मेरे साथ ऐसा कुछ नहीं हुआ
ना तुम्हारी याद आई ना कोई आंसू बहा
क्यूंकि हम तुम्हे कभी भूले ही कहाँ थे जो तुम याद आते
इन आँखों में सदा तुम रहते थे
कहीं आँसुओं के साथ निकल ना जाओ
इसलिए रोते भी नहीं थे
प्रेम के अलग होने पर तुमने क्या खोया
इसका इक आइना दिखाऊं आपको ?
कुछ कडवे सच , प्रश्न सुन पाओ तो सुनाऊ?

कभी सोचा इस तरक्की में तुम कितने पिछड़ गए
यमुना के मीठे पानी से जिंदगी शुरू की और समुन्द्र के खारे पानी तक पहुच गए ?
एक ऊँगली पर चलने वाले सुदर्शन चक्रपर भरोसा कर लिया
और
दसों उँगलियों पर चलने वाळी
बांसुरी को भूल गए ?

कान्हा जब तुम प्रेम से जुड़े थे तो ....
जो ऊँगली गोवर्धन पर्वत उठाकर लोगों को विनाश से बचाती थी
प्रेम से अलग होने पर वही ऊँगली
क्या क्या रंग दिखाने लगी ?
सुदर्शन चक्र उठाकर विनाश के काम आने लगी

कान्हा और द्वारकाधीश में
क्या फर्क होता है बताऊँ ?

कान्हा होते तो तुम सुदामा के घर जाते
सुदामा तुम्हारे घर नहीं आता

युद्ध में और प्रेम में यही तो फर्क होता है
युद्ध में आप मिटाकर जीतते हैं
और प्रेम में आप मिटकर जीतते हैं

कान्हा प्रेम में डूबा हुआ आदमी
दुखी तो रह सकता है
पर किसी को दुःख नहीं देता

आप तो कई कलाओं के स्वामी हो
स्वप्न दूर द्रष्टा हो
गीता जैसे ग्रन्थ के दाता हो
पर आपने क्या निर्णय किया
अपनी पूरी सेना कौरवों को सौंप दी?
और अपने आपको पांडवों के साथ कर लिया ?

सेना तो आपकी प्रजा थी
राजा तो पालाक होता है
उसका रक्षक होता है
आप जैसा महा ज्ञानी
उस रथ को चला रहा था जिस पर बैठा अर्जुन
आपकी प्रजा को ही मार रहा था

आपनी प्रजा को मरते देख
आपमें करूणा नहीं जगी ?
क्यूंकि आप प्रेम से शून्य हो चुके थे

आज भी धरती पर जाकर देखो
अपनी द्वारकाधीश वाळी छवि को
ढूंढते रह जाओगे
हर घर हर मंदिर में
मेरे साथ ही खड़े नजर आओगे

आज भी मै मानती हूँ
लोग गीता के ज्ञान की बात करते हैं
उनके महत्व की बात करते है
मगर धरती के लोग
युद्ध वाले द्वारकाधीश पर नहीं, i.
प्रेम वाले कान्हा पर भरोसा करते हैं

गीता में मेरा दूर दूर तक नाम भी नहीं है,
पर आज भी लोग उसके समापन पर " राधे राधे" करते रहते हैं
