Journey of Laughter and Awakening
-
When a child is Born life begins with Crying, and when This crying became my question, the answer started forming within me. I didn't even realize when my question took Shape. I came to know when One day I started laughing out loud. I got tired of laughing, But laughing continued for 20 days.
Even today, I find those moments very beautiful, when my light smile tried to break my deep Silence, and I was afraid that my Silence might break and I might disintegrate. For 20 days, My smile tried to break my Silence, but I had controlled it. At last, the smile took a rebellious form and my smile became a storm of laughter, then my silence was swept away. I felt this laughter at every stupidity of mine. I was laughing at my stupidity, at my thinking, at my feelings, at my relationships, at my world, at my entire life, and also at God. The foolishness of my life which was revealed through my laughter, was ended by a scream from the Soul. When nature accepted me as a seeker, nature gave me this laughter as a Gift, just as it gave a newborn child a cry.

हँसी और जागृति की यात्रा
बच्चा जन्मता है तो बच्चे का जीवन रोने से शुरू होता है, और यह रोना जब मेरा सवाल बना तो मेरे भीतर ही इस का जवाब बनने लगा था। मेरे सवाल ने कब रूप रंग आकार को पहन लिया, मुझे पता ही न चला। मुझे पता उस वक़्त चला, जब मैंने एक दिन ज़ोर से हंसना शुरू किया। मैं हांसे हुए थक गई पर मेरा हंसना 20 दिन चलता रहा। आज भी मुझे वो पल बहुत खूबसूरत लगतें हैं, जब मेरी गहरी चुप को मेरी हलकी सी मुस्कान ने काट देना चाहा था और मैं घबराती थी कि कहीं मेरी चुप टूट न जाए और मैं बिखर न जाऊं।20 दिन तक मैंने मेरी चुप और मुस्कान को संभाला था, पर आखिर को मुस्कान ने बागी रूप ले लिया और मेरी मुस्कान हासे का तूफ़ान बन गई, जिस में मेरी चुप बह गई। यह हासा मुझ को मेरी हर बेवकूफी पर आया था। मेरा हंसना मेरी बेवकूफी पर था, मेरी सोच पर, मेरे भाव पर, मेरे रिश्तों पर, मेरे संसार पर, मेरे तमाम जीवन पर, और परमात्मा पर भी था। मेरी बेककूफी भरी ज़िंदगी को जो मेरे हासे से प्रकट हुई थी, उस बेवकूफी को रूह की एक चीक ने खत्म किया था। कुदरत ने मुझ को साधिका के रूप में जब स्वीकारा तो कुदरत ने मुझ को तोहफे के रूप में यह हासा दिया था, जैसे जन्मते बच्चे को रोना देती है। बच्चे की ज़िंदगी मन की यात्रा करती है और समझ की यात्रा सदा ही मन को छोड़ने से चलती है। इस से शुरू हुई थी मेरी यह समझ की यात्रा।
