30 जनवरी 1948 की शाम थी। लेखिका चाय पी रही थी। उन्हें एक टेलीफोन संदेश प्राप्त हुआ। उन्हें फोन पर जानकारी प्राप्त हुई की प्रार्थना सभा से वापसी के रास्ते में बापू की गोली मारकर हत्या कर दी गई।
वह स्तब्ध हो गई। वह कार में सवार हुई और जल्दबाजी में बिरला भवन के लिए रवाना हो गई। बापू का मृत शरीर कमरे में पड़ा था। शव उनके रिश्तेदारो एवं अनुयायियों से घिरा था।
यह दुःखद संवाद दिल्ली में जंगल की आग की तरह फैल गया। उदास एवं मलिन चेहरे वाले लोग बिरला भवन के चारों ओर एकत्र थे ।
वे शोक संतप्त होकर रो रहे थे एवं क्रंदन कर रहे थे।
सभी बापू के शव का अंतिम दर्शन करना चाहते थे। वे एक दूसरे के साथ धक्का-मुक्की कर रहे थे। जब उन्हें यह सूचना मिली की अंतिम संस्कार के पहले उन्हें बापू का दर्शन करने दिया जाएगा तब वे शांत हुए।
English Class 10 Wbbse
लोग बापू के अचनाक निधन से स्तब्ध थे। उनके लिए यह बहुत बड़ी क्षति थी। आम जनता को उनकी मृत्यु का समाचार रेडियो के माध्यम से दिया गया। चारों ओर शोक लहर दौड़ गई थी।
अंतिम संस्कार परवर्ती दिन होना था । असंख्य लोग शव यात्रा में शामिल हुए। श्रीमती नायडू की बेटी पद्मसी अंतिम बार बापू के साथ चलने के लिए इच्छुक थी। शव फूलों से सजे हुए खुले ट्रक में रखा गया था।
अश्रुपूर्ण नेत्रों से लोग इस क्षति का शोक मना रहे थे। लेखिका भी लोगों के साथ पद यात्रा कर रही थी। हर कोई खामोश था एवं धीरे-धीरे चल रहा था। बापू भी पदयात्रा पसंद करते थे एवं पदयात्रा के माध्यम से ही साधारण जनमानस तक पहुँचते थे।
अंतिम संस्कार सम्पन्न हो चुका था। कुछ दिन के बाद गाँधी जी की पवित्र अस्थि भस्म को एक विशेष सुसज्जित रेलगाड़ी से इलाहाबाद लाया गया। वहाँ अस्थि विसर्जन होना था। रेलगाड़ी के डिब्बे में लोग भजन गा रहे थे।
रेलगाड़ी जिन स्टेशनों से होकर गुजर रही थी उन स्टेशनों पर बहुत भीड़ लगी थी। गाँधी जी की अस्थि भस्म को गंगा जल में प्रवाहित कर दिया गया। सबों ने गाँधीजी की आत्मा के लिए प्रार्थना किया।
उसके बाद सभी दिल्ली वापस आ गये। लेखिका के लिए बापू की मृत्यु उनकी निजी क्षति थी। बापू की अनुपस्थिति के कारण लेखिका ने प्रेरणा का अभाव महसूस किया।
लेखिका को राष्ट्र एवं साधारण जनमानस के लिए समर्पण का एहसास हुआ। धीरे-धीरे वह दुःख से उभर पाई। उन्होंने विचार किया कि बापू अपने शब्दों एवं कर्मों के माध्यम से जीवित रहेंगे।

बिरला भवन में गाँधी जी के रिश्तेदार एवं अनुयायी उनके शव के चारों ओर एकत्र हो गये थे। जब गाँधीजी ने अंतिम साँस ली उस समय कमरे में खामोशी थी।
हवा के द्वारा प्रज्ज्वलित आग की लपट की भाँति बापूजी की मृत्यु का सामाचार पूरी दिल्ली में फैल गया। शोकग्रस्त पुरूषो एवं स्त्रियों का समूह बिरला भवन के चारों ओर एकत्र हो चुका था।
प्रत्येक खिड़की से उनके शोकग्रस्त मलिन चेहरे देखे जा सकते थे। वे बिल्कुल खामोश थे। एक अस्वाभाविक सन्नाटा फैला हुआ था। कुछ क्षण के लिए समय मानो ठहर सा गया था।

दिल्ली वापस आकर मैंने स्वयं को बहुत विभ्रांत और असहाय महसूस किया। मैने प्रत्यक्ष रूप से गाँधीजी के साथ कभी पद यात्रा नहीं की थी ना ही उनके आह्वान पर कभी जेल गई थी और ना ही अपने देश के लिए कोई बलिदान किया था।
मेरी बहनें, मैं एवं मेरे जैसा अन्य युवक-युवतियाँ मात्र मूकदर्शक थे। फिर भी मैने स्वयं को विषम परिस्थिति में पाया। मुझे आभास हुआ कि मैं एक चमत्कारिक सुरक्षा चक्र में पली बढ़ी थी।
परन्तु बापू के स्वर्गपास के साथ ही, मुझे एहसास हुआ कि वह चमत्कारिक सुरक्षा चक्र विलुप्त हो गया था, भंग हो गया था और मैं असुरक्षित रह गई थी।
With an effort………………………..live in his children.
प्रयास कर मैनें स्वयं को जागृत किया; स्वयं को जागृत करने के लिए मुझे प्रयत्न करना पड़ा। मैंने स्वयं से पूछा- क्या बापू व्यर्थ में जिये एवं मारे गए ? क्या बापू के जीवन एवं मरण का कोई मोल नहीं है?
अब वे नहीं रहे, मैं इतनी आसानी से कैसे हिम्मत हार सकती हूँ? मेरे मूल्यबोध इतने दुर्बल तो न थे। बापू के सिवा लाखों लोग साधारण जनमानस मात्र थे। उन्होंने उनको उदासीनता से बाहर निकाला एवं हताशा से उबारा, एक दूसरे की पीड़ा के प्रति जागृत किया।
यदि बापू चले भी गए हैं तो क्या हुआ? अब भी हमलोग उनके अधूरे कार्यों को सम्पन्न करने के लिए युवा, बलवान और स्वाभिमानी हैं; उनके अधूरे कार्यों को पूरा करने के लिए अभी भी हमारे देश में सामर्थ्यवान स्वाभिमानी युवक-युवतियाँ मौजूद हैं;
यौवन एवं अदम्य मानसिक बल से परिपूर्ण तरुण युवक-युवतियों को मजबूती के साथ डटना होगा। बापू तो नहीं रहें किन्तु उनका भारत उनकी संतानों में जीता रहेगा।
