Euthyphro Ka Sawal: Kya Achhai Is Liye Achhi Hai Ke Khuda Ne Hukm Diya?
Athens ki aik adalat ke baramde par Socrates ne aik sawal poocha jo aaj bhi har mazhab ke dil se guzarta hai: kya naiki is liye naiki hai ke Khuda use pasand karta hai — ya Khuda use is liye pasand karta hai ke woh naiki hai? Chaubees sadiyan guzar gayin, aur dono jawab aaj bhi apni qeemat mangte hain.

Apne muqadme se kuch hafte pehle, Plato ke mukalme Euthyphro mein Socrates humein king-archon ki adalat ke baramde par milta hai, aik aise naujawan se guftagu karte hue jo apni parsai par itna mutmain hai ke apne hi baap par qatal ka muqadma chala raha hai. Socrates us se wahi poochta hai jo woh har kisi se poochta tha: aik tareef. Parsai kya hai? Euthyphro jawab deta hai: jo devtaon ko pasand hai.
Aur phir wo sawal aata hai — aik jumla jo us mazhab se zyada zinda raha jis mein poocha gaya tha: "Kya parsa cheez devtaon ko is liye pasand hai ke woh parsa hai, ya woh is liye parsa hai ke devtaon ko pasand hai?" (Euthyphro 10a).
"Devta pasand karte hain" ki jagah "Khuda hukm deta hai" rakh dijiye, aur yeh dilemma har tauheedi mazhab ke darwaze par apni poori shakal mein pahunch jata hai. Kya koi amal is liye durust hai ke Khuda ne us ka hukm diya? Ya Khuda ne us ka hukm is liye diya ke woh durust hai? Dono raaste imtihaan lete hain. Aaiye dono par imandari se chalein — faisla sunane ke liye nahi, samajhne ke liye.
