जीवन का उद्देश्य

दुःखजन्मप्रवृत्तिदोषमिथ्याज्ञानानामुत्तरोत्तरापाये तदनन्तरापायादपवर्गः II1/1/2 न्यायदर्शन अर्थ : तत्वज्ञान से मिथ्या ज्ञान का नाश हो जाता है और मिथ्या ज्ञान के नाश से राग द्वेषादि दोषों का नाश हो जाता है, दोषों के नाश से प्रवृत्ति का नाश हो जाता है। प्रवृत्ति के नाश होने से कर्म बन्द हो जाते हैं। कर्म के न होने से प्रारम्भ का बनना बन्द हो जाता है, प्रारम्भ के न होने से जन्म-मरण नहीं होते और जन्म मरण ही न हुए तो दुःख-सुख किस प्रकार हो सकता है। क्योंकि दुःख तब ही तक रह सकता है जब तक मन है। और मन में जब तक राग-द्वेष रहते हैं तब तक ही सम्पूर्ण काम चलते रहते हैं। क्योंकि जिन अवस्थाओं में मन हीन विद्यमान हो उनमें दुःख सुख हो ही नहीं सकते । क्योंकि दुःख के रहने का स्थान मन है। मन जिस वस्तु को आत्मा के अनुकूल समझता है उसके प्राप्त करने की इच्छा करता है। इसी का नाम राग है। यदि वह जिस वस्तु से प्यार करता है यदि मिल जाती है तो वह सुख मानता है। यदि नहीं मिलती तो दुःख मानता है। जिस वस्तु की मन इच्छा करता है उसके प्राप्त करने के लिए दो प्रकार के कर्म होते हैं। या तो हिंसा व चोरी करता है या दूसरों का उपकार व दान आदि सुकर्म करता है। सुकर्म का फल सुख और दुष्कर्मों का फल दुःख होता है परन्तु जब तक दुःख सुख दोनों का भोग न हो तब तक मनुष्य शरीर नहीं मिल सकता !

The Wise Merchant is a classic Buddhist moral tale that teaches how wisdom, caution, and ethical awareness help one avoid danger and wrongdoing in life.

The Wise Merchant

Once there lived a prosperous merchant who did not hesitate to travel long distances to deliver his valuable goods to trustworthy buyers. Hearing of his frequent journeys, robbers soon began plotting to seize his carts filled with costly merchandise.

The merchant, however, was a man of intelligence and experience. Each time, through caution and foresight, he managed to thwart their schemes.

On one journey, he learned that a group of monks would be traveling in the same direction. Out of respect and generosity, he invited them to accompany him and promised to provide for all their needs along the way. Unknown to them, however, the robbers had already learned of this journey and planned to ambush the caravan as it passed through a dense forest.

As they neared the forest, the merchant—made cautious by past dangers—suspected that something was amiss. Instead of entering the forest, he chose to set up camp just outside its edge and remain there for several days. Soon, he discovered the robbers’ plan. Concerned for the safety of his companions and his goods, he decided to abandon the journey and return home.

When the robbers heard of this change, they positioned themselves along the road leading back to the city. But the wise merchant had scouts of his own, who soon returned and warned him of the robbers’ new strategy. Acting wisely once again, the merchant chose to stay in a friendly village and delayed his return for a few more days.

Hearing of this, the monks decided to cut their journey short and return to their monastery. Upon arrival, they related to the Buddha how robbers had repeatedly tried to attack the merchant’s caravan and how the merchant had skillfully avoided danger each time.

The Buddha praised the merchant, saying that he was truly wise—just as one who wishes to live avoids poison, so did the merchant avoid a journey filled with danger. In the same way, the Buddha taught, a wise person understands that life itself is a perilous journey and therefore strives to avoid evil.

Just as a wealthy merchant with few attendants avoids a dangerous road,
and just as one who desires life avoids poison,
so should a wise person shun evil.
— Dhammapada, Verse 123
