क्या कहते हैं कृष्ण उपवास के विषय में? Is lord Krishna and Buddha same?
It is a bilingual article
कई लोगों का प्रश्न रहता है की कृष्णा ने उपवास के बारे में क्या कहा है। इसका उत्तर श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता के अध्याय -६ के श्लोक १६ में है।
नात्यश्नतस्तु योगोस्ति न चैकान्तमनश्नतः
न चाती स्वपनशीलस्य जाग्रतो नैव चार्जुन
इस श्लोक का अर्थ है- हे अर्जुन यह योग न तो बहुत खानेवाले का , न बिलकुल न खाने वाले का, न बहुत सोने वालों का और न ही सदा जागने वाले का पूरा होता है। अर्थात कृष्णा साफ़-साफ़ कह रहे हैं की ईश्वर को पाने के लिए उपवास जैसे पाखंड की जरुरत नहीं है। ईश्वर न तो बहुत अधिक खाने वालों को मिलते हैं और न ही एकदम नहीं खाने वालों को। ईश्वर केवल जरुरत के अनुसार खाने वालों को मिलते हैं।
क्या बुद्ध ही कृष्ण हैं?
बुद्ध ने ज्ञान प्राप्ति के लिए लम्बे समय तक भूखा रहकर तपस्या की थी, लेकिन उसका परिणाम शुन्य रहा। उल्टा वह हड्डिओं का ढांचा मात्रा रह गए थे। सुजाता नाम की ग्वालन ने जब उन्हें पहली बार देखा तो उसे ऐसा प्रतीत हुआ की वह पेड़ के ही भाग। सुजाता उनके लिए खीर ले गयी जिसे खाकर उनमें शक्ति कस संचार हुआ और उसी रात पूर्ण चन्द्रमा की रौशनी में पैर के नीचे उन्हें ज्ञान प्राप्त हुआ।
इस तरह बुद्ध भी उपवास को ख़ारिज करते हैं। स्वस्थ शरीर ही स्वस्थ चिंतन-मनन कर सकता है और स्वस्थ चिंतन-मनन एवं ज्ञान सही ईश्वर की प्राप्ति हो सकती है।
इस प्रकार हम देखते हैं की कृष्ण और बुद्ध की सोच एक है। लेकिन महान विद्वान डी.डी कौशाम्बी की मानें तो बुद्ध और कृष्ण की सोच ही एक नहीं बल्कि बुद्ध के विचारों को ही पुराणों ने कृष्ण में समाहित कर दिया है।
In response to Arjuna's question Krishna says -
The meaning of of this verse is- hey Arjuna, those who eat too much and those who eat nothing, yoga is impossible for them. Even those who never sleep or sleep too much can not attain the real motive of yoga. Through these lines Krishna is clearly saying that there is no need for hypocrisy like fasting to attain god. Only those who eat according to the need of body get god.
Buddha had meditated for long while starving to get enlightenment, but the result was zero. Due long period of starving he became skeleto. While meditating under a tree he became so thin that a female milkherd named Sujatha, mistook him as a part of the tree. Seeing his condition Sujatha offered him kheer(a dish made of rice and milk), which devoured power in him and at same full moon night he got enlightenment sitting under the tree.
In this way the Buddha also rejects the fast. Only a healthy body can contemplate healthy thinking and god can only be attained by healthy thinking and knowledge.
Thus we see that the thinking of Krishna and Buddha is same. But according to the great scholar DD Kaushambi, the thinking of Buddha and Krishna is not only same, but a vast portion of Buddha's principle have been integrated into Krishna in the Puranas.
