Atmabodha Verse 50

from Silent Wisdom · host Muni

सम्बन्ध तथा राग-द्वेष वह अज्ञान रूपी दानव है... जो हमारे ‌जंगल (या भवसागर ) रूपी मन में रहते हैं। अज्ञानता के कारण हम बहुत डरे हुए और तरह-तरह की शंकाओं से घिरे हैं। और जब कभी हमारा सामना ऐसे किसी डर से होता है... तब हम अपना नियंत्रण खो देते हैं। यह सोचने वाली बात है .... यह डर आता कहां से है ? निसंदेह यह हमारे मन की ही उपज है। यह समझ पाना तो आसान है कि डर एक तरह का असुर है । पर आसक्ति ( प्यार) कैसे असुर हो सकती है... इसको समझना थोड़ा मुश्किल हो जाता है। शंकराचार्य जी कहते हैं आसक्ति वो दानव है जहां हम अपनी खुशी और निर्भरता की चाबी दूसरे को दे देते हैं । इस तरह हमारा जीवन मोहताज हो जाता है। इतना ही नहीं कई लोग तो अपने ओहदे को भी को ही अपनी पहचान बना लेते हैं। इन सब बन्धनों से छूटना नामुमकिन हो जाता है। इस तरह आसक्ति और रंजिश एक ही सिक्के के दो पहलू हैं। शंकराचार्य जी कहते है ..कि आत्माराम वो योगी है - जो अपनी नफरत और आसक्ति से ऊपर उठ चुका है । इस तरह उसका मन असीम शांति में खो गया है। ऐसे योगी के राम अयोध्या में नहीं बल्कि आत्मा के रूप में उसमें ही बसते हैं। इस संदर्भ में रामायण के पात्रों का रूपांतरण करते हैं: •राम का सीता को ढूंढना= साधक । • सीता का खोना | = शांति का खोना । • रास्ते में मदद ली= अध्यात्मिक क्रिया की। •हनुमान = ज्ञान • सुग्रीव = विवेक •जामवंत= भक्ति •समुंदर का पार करना = अज्ञानता का भवसागर • पुल का बनाना = आत्मज्ञान •लंका = अज्ञान •रावण= अहंकार •अयोध्या= (वह स्तिथि जहां जंग ना हो ) विवेकशील मन पर,यह कैसी विडंबना है कि हम वो राम है जिसे वह भी यह भी नहीं पता कि सीता गुम है। इसलिए किसी की मदद भी नहीं ले रहे। हम कलयुग के वो राम है ... जो आत्मज्ञान रूपी सेतुबंध बनाने की चेष्टा भी नहीं कर रहे। डर, आसक्ति और नफरत जैसे असुरों को नष्ट नहीं करना चाहते। बल्कि हम वह राम है .... जो अहंकार रूपी रावण को अधिक शक्तिशाली बना रहे हैं। इस तरह हमारा जीवन रामायण से बिल्कुल उल्ट चल रहा । रामायण पढ़ने से कोई लाभ नहीं होगा। निस्संदेह यह ग्रंथ अनमोल है परंतु हमको इसकी गहराई में डुबकी लगानी होगी। अतः .....जागो राम जागो । अपनी सीता को ढूंढो । रावण को मारो। दूसरे शब्दों में ...... अज्ञानता के भवसागर को पार करो और अपने भीतर शाश्वत आनंद के दर्शन करो। Verse 50 The demons of attachment and aversion; fear and even attachment to one’s status, resides in the mind. Shankaracharya says that when a Yogi slays the demons of fear, attachment and aversion and crosses the ocean of ignorance, his mind brims with tranquillity and he revels in his own Self. Such a yogi is also called Atmarami - one who has realised that the Atman itself is Rama. His own atman is Raman. In the metaphorical context, Ramayana represents:- Sita - the peace/tranquility Rama - the disciple/seeker , whose spiritual practices were —> Hanuman - jnana, Jamvant - devotion, Sugreeva - viveka ( discriminating wisdom) The seeker (Rama) had to cross the ocean of ignorance and use the bridge of Brahmajnana ( knowledge of the Self) to rescue Sita( peace). For the seeker, ignorance is Lanka and Ravana is none other than the ego. Unless the ego is killed, peace(Sita) will not be attained. The word Ayodhya means a place where there is no room for any war nor any conflict. His entire life in exile, Lord Rama kept on saying one demon after the other. He served so many sages and spent all his time in spiritual practises. Individual on the spiritual path - needs to wake up and search for Sita(peace); be the Rama who slays Ravana(ego); be the one who crosses the ocean of ignorance and revels in the supreme peace of his/her own Self.
