Sapne, hamare jeevan ka ek aham hissa hote hain. Kabhi-kabhi, hamare sapne hamare man aur aatma ki dubli patli parda ko hata dete hain, aur hamari asal ichchayein, bhavnaayein aur dar bina kisi rok-tok ke prakat ho jati hain. Aaj main aapko ek aise sapne ke bare mein batane ja raha hoon, jisme maine apne baalon ko kaatne ka faisla kiya. Is sapne ke bare mein baat karte samay, main aapko iske pichhe chhupi kuchh kahaniyan aur sandesh bhi dena chahta hoon.
Mere sapne ka mahaul shant aur sukhamay tha. Shayad yeh sapna mere jeevan ke kuchh samay baad aaya tha, jab main khud ke vicharon aur vyavhaar mein parivartan dekh raha tha. Sapne mein, main apne aap ko ek salon mein baitha dekhta hoon, ek sthaan par jahan baal katwane ka pratha prachin roop se chalti aa rahi thi. Wahaan ek prashikshit hajam tha, jo ek purane samay ke tareek vidhi se baal katne ki kala mein nipun tha.
Main apne baal katwane ka faisla tab karta hoon, jab main apne pratidin ke jeevan mein kuchh naye badlav ki talash mein tha. Baal katwana mere liye ek prakar ka symbol tha, ek prakar ka andolan jisse main apne bahut se lambe aur ghane baalon se jura hua tha. Baal mere liye mere vyaktitva ka ek aham hissa the, lekin main unhein ek kathin samay ki sanket maanta tha. Isiliye maine apne baalon ko katwane ka faisla liya.
Jab main apne baalon ko katwane ke liye taiyar hua, to woh prashikshit hajam mere paas aate hain aur mujhse kuchh sawalon ki or ishara karte hain. Unhone mujhse puchha, “Kya aap taiyar hain apne baalon ko chhodne ke liye?” Is sawal ne mujhe sochne par majboor kiya. Baalon kaate jaane se main ek naye pratikool mukhya dhara mein kadam rakh raha tha, aur maine khud se puchha ki kya main sach mein taiyar hoon is parivartan ke liye.
Maine socha ki baalon ko katwana mere liye ek tarah se purane sanskaron se mukt ho jaane ka ek tareeka hai. Lekin isse bhi mahatvapurn tha ki main yeh faisla sachmuch apne man aur aatma se le raha tha, aur na ki kisi prakritik ya samajik pravritti se prabhavit ho raha tha. Main hajam se aage badh kar kehta hoon, “Haan, main taiyar hoon.”
Phir shuru hoti hai baalon ka katna. Is prakriya mein, maine dekha ki mera purana vyaktitva dheere-dheere chala ja raha hai aur ek naya vyaktitva, ek naya swaroop apne aap mein prakat ho raha hai. Har baal ke katne ke saath, main apni purani soch aur bhavnaayein bhi chhod raha tha. Baal katne ke baad, main ek naye vyaktitva ke saath apne aap ko mahsoos kar raha tha, ek svatantra, naye surup mein.
Yeh sapna mere liye ek mahatvapurn sandesh laaya. Isne mujhe yeh shiksha di ki kabhi-kabhi humein apne purane sanskaron, vicharon aur vyavhaar ko chhodkar naye anubhavon ki or badhna chahiye. Isse hamare jeevan mein nayapan aata hai aur ham apni aatma ke asal roop ko pahchaante hain. Baal katne ka faisla mere liye ek naye safar ka aarambh tha, jisme main apne aap ko naye drishtikon se dekh raha tha.
Sapne ke pashchat, maine yeh mahsoos kiya ki main apne aap ko naye surup mein dekhne mein safalta pa raha hoon. Mere baalon ke katne ke baad, maine apne jeevan mein kai aur parivartan bhi kiye, aur maine dekha ki yeh parivartan mere liye sakaratmak tarike se prabhavi tha. Baalon ke katne se mera vyaktitva nahi ghat gaya, balki woh aur adhik pragat hua.
Is sapne se maine yeh bhi sikh liya ki hamare jeevan mein kabhi-kabhi humein apne vyaktitva ke mulyo ko punah vichar karne aur unhein sudharne ki avashyakta hoti hai. Yadi ham apne vyaktitva ko naye anubhavon ki or badhne mein rok dete hain, to ham apne aap ko aur apne jeevan ko rok dete hain. Isliye, hamen hamesha yeh yaad rakhna chahiye ki kabhi-kabhi baalon ko katwana, ya kisi aur prakritik badlav ko swagat karna, hamare jeevan ka ek mahatvapurn hissa ho sakta hai.
Is sapne ne mujhe yeh bataya ki hamen apne jeevan mein naye anubhavon ki or badhne ka samay aata hai, aur hamen apne vyaktitva ko naye rup mein prakat karne ka avsar milta hai. Baalon ko katwana mere liye ek aham kadam tha, jo mujhe apni asal aatma se judne ka mauka diya. Is prakar, mera sapna mere liye ek gahra arthik anubhav tha, jo mujhe jeevan ke naye safar ki or badhne ki prerana deta hai.
