दूसरो को ट्रुखत देख कर खुद भी त्रुखत हुए तरकभूषणजी

के सुप्रसिद्ध विद्वान श्री विश्वनाथ तक भूषण अत्यंत दयालु थे। दुखियों की मुक्त हस्त से सहायता करने और लोक कल्याण में जुटे रहने उनका स्वभाव था। इसी वजह से वे लोगों के बीच प्रसिद्ध थे। एक बार श्री भूषण गंभीर रूप से बीमार हो गए। बड़े-बड़े चिकित्सक आए किंतु तर्क भूषण जी को स्वस्थ नहीं कर पाए। फिर 1 दिन बाद चिकित्सक को उनके परिजन किसी अन्य शहर से लेकर आए। उन्होंने तर्क आभूषण की जांच की और दवा आदि का निर्धारण कर परिजनों को आदेश दिया कि रोगी को एक बूंद भी जल नहीं दे। जल देते हैं उनकी हालत और खराब हो जाएगी। लंबे समय तक तक भूषण को पानी नहीं दिया गया। कुछ दिनों तक सब कुछ ठीक रहा फिर एक दिन उन्हें तीव्र प्यास लगी पूर्णविराम पानी दिया नहीं जा सकता था इसलिए वह घर के लोगों से बोले मैंने ग्रंथों मैं पढ़ा है और स्वयं भी दूसरों को उपदेश दिया है कि समस्त प्राणियों में एक ही आत्मा है आज मुझे इसका प्रत्यक्ष अनुभव करना है। ब्राह्मणों को यह बुलाओ और उन्हें मेरे सामने शरबत तरबूज का रस तथा हरे नारियल का पानी पिलाओ घर के लोगों ने तत्काल यही व्यवस्था कर दी। जब ब्राम्हण शरबत पीने लगे तो तर्कभूषण जी कि प्यास तत्काल मित गई और वे ठीक हो गए।

महामना मालवीय के आदर्श से राजा की छुटी शराब

मोहन मालवीय ने जब कॉलेज की शिक्षा पूर्ण की तब उनकी आर्थिक स्थिति बहुत खराब थी। उन्हें तत्काल अध्यापक की नौकरी करनी पड़ी। कालाकांकर के राजा श्री पाल सिंह ने उनकी बहुत ख्याति सुन रखी थी पूर्णविराम उन्होंने उस समय हिंदुस्तान नामक समाचार पत्र का प्रकाशन आरंभ किया था जिसके लिए उन्हें 1 सुयोग्य संपादक बनने का आग्रह किया। आर्थिक तंगी के चलते मालवीय जी ने यह प्रस्ताव स्वीकार तो कर लिया किंतु शराब के आदी राजा के सामने शर्त रखी कि जब आप नशे में हो तो कृपया कार्यालय में मेरे पास ना पूर्णविराम राजा साहब ने मान लिया। इसके बाद मालवीय जी ने संपादन का कार्य अत्यंत तन्मयता से शुरू कर दिया। किंतु 1 दिन राजा साहेब नशे में अपने शर्त भूल गए और मालवीय जी के कार्यालय जा पहुंचे। मालवीय जी ने तुरंत त्यागपत्र दे दिया। नशा राजा साहेब को बड़ी गर्मी हुई और उन्होंने मालवीय जी से क्षमा याचना की किंतु मालवीय जी बोले मैं अपने आदर्शों को सर्वोपरि मानता हूं और उनके साथ कोई समझौता नहीं कर सकता। आप मुझे क्षमा करें मैं अब आपके यहां कार्य नहीं कर सकता। राजा साहेब ने उस दिन से शराब छोड़ दी और मालवीय जी को वकालत पढ़ने के लिए ₹250 मानसिक छात्रवृ देते रहे। वस्तुत: मैतिक प्रतिमानों के पालन से जीवन आदर्श बनता है।
