रजनीश १२ अगस्त ‘६१ मां, एक सन्यासी साथ हैं। शरीर को उन्होंने तपाया है : हड्डियां ही भर रह गई हैं। संपत्ति, सुरक्षा सब का त्याग किया है। ईश्वर को पाना चाहा था पर वह नहीं मिला है। ईश्वर को पाने में संपत्ति-परिवार-गृह बाधा नहीं हैं। बाधा और ही है। इससे सब छोड़ो पर वह नहीं मिलता है। उसे पाने में रुकावट है : ‘मैं’ का बोध। “मैं हूँ” तबतक ईश्वर नहीं हो सकता है। “मैं करोड़पति हूँ” इससे जितनी रुकावट है, “मैं त्यागी हूँ” या “मैं ज्ञानी हूँ” इनमें भी उससे कम नहीं है। ‘मैं’ सिमित करता है और विराट से विच्छिन्न कर देता है। दुख की गांठ, अज्ञान की ग्रंथि वही है। उसके जाते ही प्रभु नहीं मिलता वरन् हम स्वयं ही हो जाते हैं। ‘मैं’ को छोड़ देना आस्तिकता है : ‘मैं’ को त्याग देना ही सन्यास है। रजनीश |
