भीतर का "मैं" का मिटना ज़रूरी है...

सुकरात समुन्द्र तट पर टहल रहे थे| उनकी नजर तट पर खड़े एक रोते बच्चे पर पड़ी |

वो उसके पास गए और प्यार से बच्चे के सिर पर हाथ फेरकर पूछा , -''तुम क्यों रो रहे हो?''

लड़के ने कहा- 'ये जो मेरे हाथ में प्याला है मैं उसमें इस समुन्द्र को भरना चाहता हूँ पर यह मेरे प्याले में समाता ही नहीं |''

बच्चे की बात सुनकर सुकरात विस्माद में चले गये और स्वयं रोने लगे |

अब पूछने की बारी बच्चे की थी |

बच्चा कहने लगा- आप भी मेरी तरह रोने लगे पर आपका प्याला कहाँ है?'

सुकरात ने जवाब दिया- बालक, तुम छोटे से प्याले में समुन्द्र भरना चाहते हो,और मैं अपनी छोटी सी बुद्धि में सारे संसार की जानकारी भरना चाहता हूँ |

आज तुमने सिखा दिया कि समुन्द्र प्याले में नहीं समा सकता है , मैं व्यर्थ ही बेचैन रहा |''

यह सुनके बच्चे ने प्याले को दूर समुन्द्र में फेंक दिया और बोला- "सागर अगर तू मेरे प्याले में नहीं समा सकता तो मेरा प्याला तो तुम्हारे में समा सकता है |"इतना सुनना था कि सुकरात बच्चे के पैरों में गिर पड़े और बोले-

"बहुत कीमती सूत्र हाथ में लगा है|

हे परमात्मा ! आप तो सारा का सारा मुझ में नहीं समा सकते हैं पर मैं तो सारा का सारा आपमें लीन हो सकता हूँ |"

ईश्वर की खोज में भटकते सुकरात को ज्ञान देना था तो भगवान उस बालक में समा गए |

सुकरात का सारा अभिमान ध्वस्त कराया | जिस सुकरात से मिलने के सम्राट समय लेते थे वह सुकरात एक बच्चे के चरणों में लोट गए थे |

ईश्वर जब आपको अपनी शरण में लेते हैं तब आपके अंदर का "मैं " सबसे पहले मिटता है |

या यूँ कहें....जब आपके अंदर का "मैं" मिटता है तभी ईश्वर की कृपा होती है |
