Anant Parivaarein
Kyonki yeh humara purohiti kartavya hai apne parivaaro aur jo humare aas paas hai unke parivaaro ko apne chinta ke kareeb rakhna.
Mai abhari hoon apke saath aaj sham Ishu Masih ke Girjaghar Antim-dino ke santo ka is maha purohiti sabha ke liye. Girja ke ithihaas me yeh ek mukhya chann hai. Ek sao assi varsh pahale 1834, Kirtland, Ohio me sabhi purohiti ko ek saath 14 x 14 foot (4.2 x 4.2 m) khute ke schoolhouse ko bulaya gaya tha. Us sabha e Bhavishyavakta Joseph Smith ko yeh kahate hue suna gaya: “Tu is Girja ke bhavisye ke bare me uthna hi jaante ho jitna ek chota baccha apni maa ki god me jaanta ho. Tum ise samahjte nahi ho. … Yaha aaj raath tum kuch hi purohiti ko dekh rahe ho, par yah Giran Uthar aur dakhshin America ko bhar degi—wah duniya ko bhar degi.” 1
Lakho purohiti adhikaari, 110 desho se zyada me, is sabha ko dekhne ke liye ikatha hue hain. Shayad Bhavisyevakta Joseph in is samay aur mahaan bhaviye jo aane waala hai use pahale se dekh liya tha.
Mera aaj raath ka sandesh ek koshis hai us bhavisya ki varnan karne ki aur Pitah Parmeshwar ke tayaar kiye gaye yojna me hume kya bhaag nibhana hai. Humare payda hone se pahale, hum anant Pitah Parmeshwar ke saath ek parivaar me rah rahe the. Unhone ek yojna niyukt ki jo hume taraki aur unathi se Unki tarah banna mumkin karega. Unhone aisa humare liye pyaar ke karan kiya. Is yojna ka lakshya tha hume Pitah Parmeshwar ke saath rahane ka swabhagya pradhaan karna. Is susmachaar yojna ne hume maranshilta ka jeewan diya jaha humari pariksha hogi. Ek vyada kiya gaya tha ki Ishu Masih ke Praeschit dwara, agar hum kanoon ka palan karenge aur susmachaar ke purohiti dharam vidhi ka, hume anant jeewan milega, Unke sabhi taufo se mahaan taufa.
Anant jeewan us tarat ka hai jaisa Jeewan Ishwar aur Pitah Parmeshwar jeete hain. Ishwar ne kaha hai ki unka maksad hai “aadmi ke maranshil jeewan aur anant jeewan laye” (Moses 1:39). Sabhi purohiti adhikaari ka mahaan maksad hai is karya me logo ki madad karna taki wek anant jeewan pa sake.
Sabhi purohiti koshis aur sabhi purohiti dharam vidhi Pitah Parmeshwar ke baccho ko Ishu Masih ke Praeschit dwara ek parishud parivaar dal banne ke iraade se kiya jata hai. Iska anukaran hai ki “sabhi aadmi ka mahaan karya hai susmachaar par vishwaas karna, aagya ka palan karna, aur anant parivaar dal banana aur parishud karna,” 2 aur dusro ko aisa karne me madad karna.
Upranth se yah sach hai, hum jo kuch bhi karte hain uska mudha aur maksad divye vivah honi chahiye. Iska matlab hai hume koshis karni chahiye apne anant saathi ke saath Ishwar ke mandir me bandhane ki. Hume dosro ko purotsahith karna chahiye ki weh vaada kare aur nibhaye jo pati aur patni ko saath bandhta hai, apne parivaar ke saath, is jeewan aur aane waale jeewan me.
Ise hum sabh ke liye ithna mahatva kyon rakhna chahiye—jawaan yah budha, deacon yah high priest, beta yah pitah? Kyonki yeh humara purohiti kartavya hai apne parivaaro aur jo humare aas paas hai unke parivaaro ko apne chinta ke kareeb rakhna. Sabhi zaroori faesle ispar nirbhar hona chahiye ki iska asar ek parivaar ko Pitah Parmeshwar aur Ishu Masih ke saath jeewan bitaane me kya hoga. Humare purohiti sewa me isse mahatvapurn kuch aur nahi hai.
Mujhe batane do ki yeah ek deacon jo aaj raath ko sun raha hai ek parivaar ke sadasye ki tarah aur ek parishad ke sadasye ki tarah par kya asar ho sakta hai.
Uske parivaar me, shayad humesha parivaar prathna yah parivaarik gharelu sabha hota yah na hota hoga. Agar unke pitah, in zimedaarion ka ahesaas karte hue, apne parivaar ko prathna yah dharamshasstra padhne ke liye bulayega, wah deacon haste hue bhaag lene ke liye jayega. Wah apne bhaiyon aur bahano ko purotsahith karega bhaag lene ke liye aur jab weh aisa karenge tab wah unki prasansha karega. Wah apne pitah se ashirvaad maang sakta hai school shuru hone par yah koi aur zaroorat ke samay.
Unka pitah shayad uthna vishwaaskari na ho. Par uske hirday ki iccha in anubhav ke liye swarg ke taqat ko un sabh ke paas layega jo unke kareeb hai uske vishwaas dwara. Weh us parivaarik jeewan ko dhoondenge jo wah deacon apne pure dil se chahata hai.
Aaronic Purohiti me sikshak apne gharelu sikshan niyukti me ek maue ko dekh sakta hai ki wah Prabhu ki madad ek parivaar ke jeeewan badalne se kar sakta hai. Prabhu ne Doctrine and Covenants me kaha:
“Ek sikhshak ka kartvya hai hai humesha girja ki dekh rekh karna, aur unke rah kar unhe prabal karna;
“Aur dekhna ki girja me koi anyay na ho, naki ek dusre se bedh bhaav, na jhoot, peet piche baath, na hi kisi ki burai” (D&C 20:53–54).
Isi tarah, purohit ko Aaronic Purohiti me yeh saupa gaya hai:
“Purohit ka kartavya hai prachaar karna, sikhlana, prathipaadith karna, samjhana, aur baptisma dena, aur prabhuboj ka prabandh karna,
“Aur har ek sadsye ke ghar jaana, aur unhe zor se tatha akele me pratha karne aur apne saare parivaarik zimedaari nibhaane ke liye prathipaadith karna” (D&C 20:46–47).
Tum shayad soch rahe ho, jaise maine socha tha jab mai ek jawaan sikshak aur purohit tha, in zimedaarion ko kaise nibhaunga. Mai kabhi nischayi nahi tha ki bina kisi ko alochan yah apmaan kiye kaise prathipaadith karoon. Maine seekha hai sirf wahi prathipaadhan dilon ko badaltha hai jo Pavitra Aatma dwara aata hai. Aisa aksar tab hotha hai jab hum Udhaarkarta ki gawahi dete hain, jo parishud parivaar dal ka sadasye tha aur hai. Jab hum Unpar apna pyaar dhyaan karenge, sukh aur shanti un gharo me badhegi jaha hum athithi honge. Pavitra Aatma humare saath hogi jab hum in parivaaro ki sewa karenge.
Ek jawaan purohiti adhikaari, jis tarah se wah prathna karta hai, jis tarah se wah baate karta hai, jis tarah se wah parivaar ke sadasyo ko purothsahith karta hai, unke mann aur dilon me Udhaarkarta ka prabhaav aur udhaaran lata hai.
Ek gyaani purohiti neta ne mujhe dikhlaya ki wah yah samajtha hai. Usne mere jawaan bete ko gharelu sikshan me nirdeshan karne ke liye kaha. Usne kaha ki wah parivaar shayad uske prathipaadhan ko thukra de, par usne socha ki ek sadharan ladke ki sikshan aur gawahi shayad unke kathor dil ko chu sake.
Ek jawaan elder anant parivaar ki yojna me kya madad kar sakta hai? Wah shayad mission par jaane wala ho. Wah apne pure dil se prathna kar sakta hai ki wah parivaaro ko dhoond, sikhla aur baptisma de sake. Mujhe aaj bhi yaad hai ek khubsurat jawaan aadmi apni patni aur unke do khubsurat betiyaa mere aur mere sangi ke saath baythe hue. Pavitra Aatma ne unko gawahi di ki Ishu Maseeh ka susmachaar punsthapith ho chukka tha. Unhone ithna vishwaas kiya ki unhone pucha ki kya hum unke betiyon ko ashirvaad de sakte hain, jaisa unhone girja ke prabhuboj me dekha tha. Weh age se icchadari the apne betiyon ko ashis dilaane ke liye, par weh abhi yah nahi samjhe the ki asli ashirvaad sirf Ishwar ke mandir me mumkin tha unke vyaade karne ke baad.
Mujhe aaj bhi dard mehsoos hota jab mai us dampati aur unke dono betiyon ke bare me sochtha hoon, jo ab shayad budhi ho gayi hai, bina anant parivaar ke vyaade ke. Unke mata-pitah ke paas ashirvaad ki sanketh thi, jo unhe jiya ja sakta tha. Meri asha hai ki kisi tarah, kahi par ek mauka ho jisse weh anant parivaar ban sake.
Anye eldero ka anubhav mere bete ki tarah khusi ka hoga jab weh mission par jayege. Usne aur unke sangi ne ek vidhwa ko aat baccho ke saath garibi me rahate hue paya. Wah unke liye wah chahata tha jo tum chahate ho—ki weh anant parivaar paye. Mere bete ko, us samay yah namumin dikha.
Us vidhwa ka mere bete dwara baptisma ke kuch saalo baad mai us chote shahar me gaya tha, usne mujhe apne parivaar se milne ke liye amanthrith kiya. Mujhe thoda intezaar karna pada kyonki unke bacche aur nathi-pothe, kai jilo ke chapel se aa rahe the. Ek beta vishwaaskari se bishopric me sewa pradhaan kar raha tha, aur yar ek baccha mandir ke vyade se apne anant parivaar me bandh chukka tha. Jab mai us pyaari bahan se dur ja raha tha unhone mere kamar par haath rakh kar kaha, “Kripya, Mateo se kahe ke mere marne se pahale wah wapas aye.” Un vishwaaskari eldero dwara, use prathiksha mili Parmeshwar ke mahaan uphaar ka.
Kuch cheeeze hai jo ek elder ko karna chahiye jab wah mission se wapas aatha hai, saccha rahane ke liye anant jeewan apne lye aur unke liye jissse wah pyaar karta hai. Shaadi se mahatvapurn vachanbadtha is jeewan yah nirantar jeewan me. Tumne gyaanpurn salah suni ki mission ke baad shaadi ko purvtha banao. Vishwaaskari purohiti chele ise gyaanpurn karenge.
Shaadi ke vichaar me, wah dekhega ki wah apne baccho ke maata-pitah ko chun raha hai aur unki virasath. Wah is chunaav ko haardik prathna aur soch se karega. Wah nischit karega ki jissse wah shaadi kar raha hai wah uske parivaar ke adarsh ko maanthi hai, Prabhu ke shaadi ke prathithi ko maanthi hai, aur wah ek aisi vyakti hai jispe wah apne baccho ki khusi ka bharosa kar sake.
Pradhaan N. Eldon Tanner ne yeh gyaan ki salah di: “Tumhe un mata-pitah ka sabse zyada aadar karna chahiye jo tumhare hone-waale baccho ke mata-pitah hai. Un baccho ko sabse acche mata-pitah ka adhikaar hai jo tum unhe de sakte ho—saaf maata-pitah.” 3 Pavitratha tumhari aur tumhare baccho ki suraksha hogi. Tum ashis ke liye unka karzdaar ho.
Ab, yaha kuch pati aur pitah hai jo aaj raath sun rahe hain. Aap kya kar sakte hai? Meri asha hai ki aap ki iccha badh gayi hai us badlaav ko lane me jo aapke parivaar ko divye raaaj tak le jayega. Ek purohiti pitah ke haysiyath se, aapki patni aap ke saath, aap har parivaar ke sadasye ke dil kp chu sakenge aur unhe us din ke intezaar ke liye purothsahith karenge. Aap prabhuboj sabha apne parivaar ke saath jaenge, aap parivaar sabha ka sanchalan karenge jaha pavitra aatma aamanthrith ho, aap apni pathni aur baccho ke saath prathna karenge, aur apne aap ko tayaar karenge taki aap apne parivaar ko mandir le ja sake. Aap unke saath aage badhenge ek anant parivaar ghar banne me.
Aap apni pathni aur baccho se us tarah se pesh ayenge jaise Pitah Parmeshwar aap ke saath pesh aye hai. Aap Udhaarkarta ke udhaaran aur marg ka palan karenge apne parivaar ko Unki tarah agragaman karne me.
“Koi taqat yah prabhaav purohiti gunn dwara nahi kiya sakta, sirf vinathi, shaanti, komaltha aur narmi se, aur sacche pyaar se;
“Dayalutha se, sudh gyaan se, jo aap ke aatma ko bina chal se badhayega, aur bina dokhe ke—
“Kathortha se alochna karna, jab Pavitra Aatma se prabhavith hue ho; aur fir baad me jise alochan kiya use adhik pyaar jatao, taki wah tumhe dushman na samajh baete” (D&C 121:41–43).
Prabhu ne purohiti pitao ko batlaya hai ki unhe kaisa pati banna chahiye. Unhone kaha, “Aap apni pathni ko pure dil se pyaar kare, aur unhe se chipke rahe aur kisi aur se nahi” (D&C 42:22). Jab Prabhu dono pati aur pathni se bate karte hain, tho Weh adesh dete hai, “Aap kabhi bhi …pargaman na kare, … na ki uski tarak koi bhi cheez kare” (D&C 59:6).
Yuva ke liye, Prabhu ne pramanik rakhi hai. “Baccho, sabhi cheezo me apne mata-pitah ki adar karo: kyonki yeh Prabhu ko pasand hai” (Colossians 3:20) aur “apne mata-pitah ka adar karo” (Exodus 20:12).
Jab Prabhu pure parivaar se bathe karte hain, Unka salah hai ki ek dusre pyaar karo aur ek dusre ka sahara bano.
Unhone humse kaha hai “sabhi ke jeewan ko parishud karne ki koshis karo … sadasyo”parivaar ka, aur “kamzor o mazboot banao; bigde [huo] priye [janno] ko sudharo, aur unke naye aathmik sakhti se jhumo.” 4
Prabhu ne kaha ki hum who sab kare apne purvajo ki madad ke liye jo zaroori hai taki weh humare saath humare anant ghar me rah sake.
High priest group leader jinhone mehanat se logo ki madad ki hai apne purvajo ke naamo ko dhundne aur jo humse pahale ja chuke hain unke naamo ko mandir le jaane ke liye. Aane waale duniya me un high priesto ko un dharam vidhi ke liye dhanyavaad milega, aur unko jinhone is dharam vidhi ko oura kiya hai kyonki unhone apne intezaar kar rahe parivaaro ko bhula nahi.
Bhavisvaktaon ne kaha: “Prabhu ka sabse mahatvapurn kaam jo tum karoge wah hai tumahre ghar ke chaar diwari ka kaam. Gharelu sikshan, bishopric karya, aur anya Girja ke kartavya zaroori hai, par sabse zaroori hai who karye jo tumhari ghar ke chaar diwaari me hota hai.” 5
Apne ghar, aur apne purohiti sewa me, sabse bhaari mulya, who choti cheeze hai jo humari anant jeewan paaane me madad karta hai. Yeh karya shayad is duniya me choti lage, par anandtha me niranthar ashis layegi.
Jaise hum vishwaaskari rahenge apni sewa me Pitah Parmeshwar ke baccho ko madad pahucha ke Unke paas ghar jane ke liye, hum us mubarakbaad ke yogya rahenge jo hum is dharti ke sewa ke baad sunna chahate hai. Yeh shabd hai: “dhanya hai acche aur vishwaasyogya daas: tu thode me vishwaasyogya raha, mai tumhe bahut vastuwo ka adhikaari banauga:apne swami ke anand me sambaghi ho” (Matthew 25:21).
In “kai cheezo”me nirantar kaamyaabi ka vyada hai. Meri prathna hai ki hum sab adhikaari ho, aur dusro ki madad kare adhikaari hone me us ashis ka jo humare Pitah aur Unke Putra, Ishu Maseeh ke ghar me hai. Ishu Masih ke pavitra naam se, amen.
