Alma aur Amulek se Sikho
Yah meri asha hai ki jo koi bhi chelatav ke maarg se dur bhatak gaye ho apne hridayon se dekhenge aur Alma aur Amulek se sikhenge.
Alma jo Jawaan tha
Susamachaar mein sabse zyaada na bhoolne waala insaan Alma jo Jawaan tha.. Bhale hi wah mahan bhavishyevakta ka putra tha, wah kuch samay ke liye raasta bhatak gaya tha aur “dusht aur murtipoojak.” Is kaaran hum samjh nahi paatein hain ki, usne apne pita ka askriye rup se virodh kiya aur Girjaghar ko nasht karne ja raha tha. Aur kyunki uska prayaas aur anubhao tha, use mahaan safalta prapt hui.1
Parantu Alma ka jiwan badal gaya jab Prabhu ka ek devdut uske saamne prakat hua aur bijali kadakne ke awaaz mein bola . Ki teen din aur teen raatein, Alma “ko anant peeda se,… aatma ko jhakjhora.” Aur phir, kisi tarah, uske andjere mann mein roshini ki tarah ek khayaal aya — ek anat sachchaai, uske pita se sikhlaya hua: ki Ishu Maseeh ayega “duniya bhar ke paapon ka praeschit karega.” Alma ne bahot pahle in baaton ko thukraya tha, parantu abh uske “mann ne uske vichaar par kabja kar liya tha,” aur usne vinamrata, sachchaai se Maseeh ke praeschit ki shakti mein apna bharosa kiya.2
Jab Alma apne anubhao se ubhar kar hua, wah badal gaya tha. Us pal ke baad, usne apne jiwan ko wah sudhaarne mein lagaya jo usne kiya tha. Wah paschaataap, chama, aur anat vishwaas ka shaktishaaly uddhaaran hai.
Alma ko chunna gaya hai apni pita ki par se Parmeshwar ki Girjaghar ko aaguwaayi karna.
Nepihite desh ke sabhi log Alma ke kahani ko zaroor jantein honge. Aaj ka Twitters, Instagrams, aur Facebooks uske bare mein chitraon aur kahaniyon se bhare hue hain. Wah Zarahemla Weekly ke covar papnne par humesha rahata hai aur lekhkon ke bhaag mein aur tv mein. Kuch hi pal mein, wah aaj ka jana-maana insaan bann gaya tha.
Parantu jan Alma ne dekha ki uske log Parmeshwar ko bhool rahe the aur apne aap mein ghamand aur bhedh-bhaao kar rahe the, usne janta ke daftar se stifa dediya aur apneaap ko “Parmeshwar ke pavitra riti ke anusaaruchye purohiti ko puri tarah swaye tak simit rakha,”3 Nephitiyon ko paschaataap ko sikhlatey hue.
Pahale, Alma ko bahut safalta prapt hui—yane ki, jabtak wah Ammonihah ke shahar tak nahi pauncha tha. Us shahar ke logon ko pata tha ki Alma abh raajniti ka neta nahi tha, aur unhone uske purohiti ko bahut iszzat nahi diya. Unhone usko jalan kiya, uspar thuka aue apne shahar se use baahar nikaal diya
Tutehriday, ke saath Alma waapis Ammonihah shahar pahuncha.{ 4
Parantu uske ek devdut ne waapis jaane ko kaha.
Sirf wah socho: usko unlogon ke paas wapis jaane ke liye kaha jo use nafrat kartey the aur Girjaghar se nafrat kartey the. Wah khatarnaakh tha, shaayad jiwan- ko khatre mein daalne ka kaarye. Parantu Alma ne inkaar nahi kiya. “Wah turant waapis gaya.”5
Alma ne kai dinon tak upwaas kiya jab wah shahar mein prawesh kiya. Waha usne ek ajnabie purush se kaha “kya tum Parmeshwar ke vinnmar sewak ko kuch khaane ko doge.”6
Amulek
Is aadmi ka naam Amulek tha.
Amulek dhanwaan tha, Ammonihah ka ek jaana maana vyakti tha. Bhale hi wah dur ke vishwaasiyon ka tha, usko vishwaas nahi tha. Usne baad mein swikaar kiya, “mujhe kai baar pukara gaya aur maine nahi sunna; isliye main in sanbhandith baaton ko jaanta tha, phir bhi nahi [vishwaas] karna tha; isliye main apne hriday mein Parmeshwar ke virudh ho gaya tha.”7
Parntu Parmeshwar Amulek ko tayyaar kar raha tha, aur jab wah Amulek Alma se mila, usne apne ghar mein Prabhu ke sewak ka swaagat kiya, jaha Alma kai dinon tak raha.8 Us samay ke dauraan, Amulek ne apne hriday se Alma ke sandesh ko sunna, aur usmein ek mahaan badlaao hua. Us ke baad, Amulek ne sirf vishwaas hi nahi kiya; par wah sachchaai ka pujaari bhi bann gaya.
Jab Alma dobara Ammonihah ke logon ke beech sikhlaane ko gaya, uske paas uske bagal mein ek dusra gawahi tha— Amulek, unke beech ke apne, uski oar.
Yah jaanne ke baad jo hua yah sabhi susamachaar ke ek bahut hi dil chu lene waala drisye hai. Tum yahAlma adhyaye 8–16 mein uske bare mein padh saktey ho.
Aaj, main tumse in do swaalon par gaaor karne ke liye kah raha hoon:
Pratham: “Main Alma se kya sikh sakta hoon?”
Dusra: “Main kis tarah Amulek ki tarah hoon?”
Main Alma se kya sikh sakta hoon?
Main Ishu Maseeh ka Girjagha ke saare pichale, abhi ke, ya aanewaale netaaoun se puchne se shuruaat karta hoon, “Tum Alma se kya sikh saktey ho?”
Alma ek khaskar gunwaan aur budhimaan veyakti tha. Yah asaan hota sochna ki use kisi ki madad ki zaroorat nahi thi. Parantu, Alma ne kya kiya jab wah waapis Ammonihah pahucha?
Alma ne Amulek ko dhoondha aur use madad maangi.
Aur Alma ko madad mili.
Chaahe kuch bhi kaaran ho, kabhikabhi hume netaaoun ki tarah dusron se madad ko dhoondhana aur maangana chahiye. Shaayad hum yah ochtey hain ki hum khudh hi akele achcha kaarye kar saktein hain, ya hume dusron se madad lene mein pareshaani hai, ya hum soch letein hai ki dusre bhaag nahi lena chahatey. Humesha hum logon ko unko Parmeshwar se prapt hue uphaar ki istamaal karne ko anamtrith karne se nikar detein hai aur mukhti ke mahaan kaarye mein bhaag lo.
Main Uddhaarkarta ke bare mein sochta hoon—kya Usne Apne Girjaghar ki sthaapna karni ki shuruaat akele hi kiya tha?
Nahi.
Uska sandesh tha ki “Piche Raho. Main iska saamna karunga.” Iske bajaye “Aoo mere piche ho lo.”9 Wah aage badha, amantirith, salahadiya, aur phir Apne chelon mein vishwaas kiya “wah karne ke liye jo mujhe kartey hue dekhe the.”10 Is tarike se, Ishu Maseeh ne sirf Apna Girjaghar nahi banaya parantu Apne chelein bhi.
Chahe kuch bhi tumhare kaarye ho—chahe tum ek deacon parishad pradhaan, ek stake pradhaan, ya Kendra Pradhaan ho—safal hone ke liye—tumhe apne kaarye mein madad ke Amulek logon ki tarah ko dhoondhana hoga.
Shayad tumhare sangatonon mein koi ho jo vinamar ya andekha bhi ho sakta hai. Shaayad ayesa lage ki wah nahi chahata ho ya sewa nahi karta. Tumhare madad karne waala jawaan ya bhuzurg, aadmi ya mahila, anubhaoheen, thaki hui, ya Girjaghar mein kam sakriye ho sakti hai. Shaayad wah pratham baar mein nahi dekh saktey ki weh tumse “Prabhu ko tumhari zaroorat hai! Mujhe tumhari zaroorat hai!” ko sunne ke liye bechaan hai.
Khudh ke andar hi andar hi, kai apne Parmeshwar ki sewa karna chahatey hai. Weh Uske haaton ka aozaar banna chahatein hain. Weh dharti ko taeyaar karne ke liye uspar dhyaan dena aur amal karna chahatey the humare Uddhaarkarta ke wapis aane ke liye. Weh Uske Girjaghar ko banana chahatey the. Parantu weh shuruaat se dar rahe the. Humesha weh puche jaane ka intazaar kartey.
Main tumhe apne shaakoun aur wards, tumhare missions aur stakes ke un logon ke bare mein sochne ko amantirith karta hoon, jisse kaarye karne ki niyukti ki zaroorat hai. Prabhu unke saath kaarye kar raha hai- unko taeyaar kiya, unke hriday ko mulaayam karke. Apne hriday se dekh kar unko dhoondho.
Un tak pahucho. Unko sikhlaao. Unko pucho.
Umke saath devdut ke shabdon ko baato dhoondho bhi— taaki Prabhu ke aashirwaad unke aur unke ghar par rahe.11 Tum Prabhu ke ek mahaansewak ko pakar aschariye mein ko saktey ho jo shaayad chupa hi rahata.
Main Amulek ki tarah kaise hoon?
Jabki hum mein se kuch ko Amulek ko dhoondhna chahiye, dusron ke liye swaal ho sakta hai “Main Amulek ki tarah kaise hoon?”
Shayad tumne, kai saalon se, apne chalatav mein kamzor ho gaye ho. Shaayad tumhare gawahi ki shakti kam hi chuki hai. Shaayad tumne aapne aap ko Maseeh se dur kar liya hai. Shaayad tum santusht aur gusse mein ho gaye ho. Ephesus ke kuch puraane Girjaghar ki tarah, tum apne “pahale prem” 12ko bhool chuke ho—Ishu Maseeh ke susamachaar ke sundar, anant sachchaai ko.
Shaayad, Amulek ki tarah, tumhe apne hriday mein pata hai ki Prabhu ne [tumhe] “kai baar pukara hai,” parantu tum “suntey nahi hai ho.”
Phirbhi, Prabhu tum mein wah dekhta hai jo Usne Amulek mein dekha tha—ek bahadur sewak ki chamta ke saath ek zaroori kaarye karne ke liye aur ek gawahi hai baatne ke liye. Yaha par sewa hai jo koi bhi ussi tarah se nahi kar sakta hai. Prabhu ne tumhe Apne pavitra purohiti ka bharosa diya hai, jis mein dusron ko ashirwaad aur upar utaane mein diviye chamta hai. Apne hriday se sunno aur Aamta ke prerna par chalo.
Ek Sadasye ka Safar
Mujhe ek bhaai ke safar ne prabhaawit kiya tha jisne khudh se pucha, “Jab Prabhu pukarega, kya main sununga?” Main is bhaai ko David kahunga.
David 30 saal pahale Girjaghar mein shaamil hua. Wah mission par gaya aur phir law skool gaya. Jabki wah sikhshan kar raha tha aur ek jawaan parivaar ko madad karne ke liye kaarye, wah Girjaghar ke bare mein kuch sunna jo use asantusht laga. Jitna ziyada usne is buri cheezein padhia utna hi chintith wah hua. Ant mein usne Girjaghar se apne naam ko nikaalne ko kaha.
Us samay ke baad, Alma ki tarah wah un dinon mein vidrohi hogaya, David ne apne Girjaghar ke sadasyon ke saath bahot samay waartalaabh kartey hue bitaya, online waartalaabh kiya unke vishwaason ko chunoti dene ke liye.
Wah is mein bahut achcha tha.
Ek sadasye jiske saath usne waartalaabh kiya tha ko main Jacob kahata hoon. Jacob humesha David ko daya aur iszzat karta tha, parantu wah Girjaghar ko bacane ke liye bhi taeyaar tha.
Saalon beet gaye, David aur Jacob ke beech iszzat aur dosti ho gaya tha. David ko jo nahi pata tha ki Jacob David ke liye prarthna kar raha tha aur kaafi samay se vishwaasi hokar kar raha tha. Usne apne dost ka naam Prabhu ke mandiron ke prarthna ke liye dala tha aur asha kiya ki David ke hriday shaant hoga.
Bahut samay baad, David mein badlaao hua. Usne apne pahale ke dhaarmik anubhaoun ko prem ke saath yaad karna shuru kiya, aur usne wah khushi ko yaad kiya jo usne mehsoos kiya tha jab wah Girjaghar ka sadasye tha.
Alma ki tarah, David susamachaar ki sachcaai ko puri tarah se bhula nahi jo use paas ek baar tha. Aur Amulek ki tarah, David ne Prabhu ko us tak pahunchne ko mahesoos kiya. David law kaarye mein bhaagi daar bann chuka tha—ek zaroori kaarye. Uska naam Girjaghar mein virodhi ki tarah ho gaya tha, aur uske paas bahot hi ghamand tha waapis dobara sakriye hone ko puchne ke liye.
Phirbhi, wah Charwaah ki aheaas ko mehsoos karta raha.
Usne dharamshaatra ko hriday se lagaya “Par yadi tum mein se kisi ko bhudhi ki ghati ho, to Parmeshwar se maange, jo bina ulahna kiye sab ko uddhaarta se deta hai; aur usko di jayegi.” 13 Usne prarthna kiya, “Priye Parmeshwar, main dobara Antim-dinon ke Santon banna chahata hoon, parantu mere paas swaal hai jiska mujhe jawaab chahiye.”
Usne Aatma ke awaaz ko sunna shuru kar diya tha aur doston ke prerit jawaab ko jaesa usne pahale kabhi nahi kiya tha. Ek ke baad ek, uske sandeh vishwaas mein badal gaye, jabtak ki usne jaan nahi liya ki, ek baar phir, wah Ishu Maseeh aur Uske punhasthaapit Girjaghar ke gawahi ko mehsoos kiya.
Us samay par, usne jaana ki wah apne ghamand ko chodh sakega aur wah sab kuch karega jisse waapis Girjaghar mein swikriti mil sakta hai.
Ant mein, David ne baptisma kiya aur phir din ginne laga ki kab uska asirwaad punhasthaapit ho.
Main yah beetey hue garmi ke paat ko batlane ke liye khush hoon, David ko uske asirwaad waapis prat hue. Wah dobara Girjaghar mein puri tarah se bhaag le raha hai aur apne ward mein Susamachaar Siddhaant shikshak ki tarah sewa pradaan kar raha hai. Wah har aosaron par apne badlaao ke bare mein doron ko batlata hai, uske kiye hue nuksaan ko pura karne ke liye, aur Ishu Maseeh ke susamachaar aur Girjaghar ki gawahi dene ke liye.
Samapti
Mere pyaare bhaaiyon , mere pyaare doston, hum ko dhoondhana, pata lagana, prerit karna, aur apne wards aur stakes ke Amulek par nirbhar rahana chahiye. Yaha par Girjaghar mein kai Amulek hain.
Shaayad tum ek ko jaantey ho. Shaayad tum wah ek ho.
Shaayad Prabhu tumhe batla raha ho, tumhe apne pahale prem ki oar lautne ke liye, apne gunon ko baato, purohiti ko laayak se karo, aur apne saath ke Santon ke saath saath sewa karo Ishu Maseeh ke kareeb jaane aur is dharti par Parmeshwar ke raajye ko banane ke liye.
Humare priye Uddhaarkarta ko pata hai hum kaha hai. Wah tumhare hriday ko jaanta hai. Wah tumhe bachana chahata hai. Wah tum tak pahuchega. Tum sirf Uske liye apne hriday ko khologe. Yah meri asha hai ki jo koi bhi chelatav ke maarg se dur bhatak gaya tha-—chahe kuch hi dinon tak—Parmeshwar ke achchaaion aur mahima ko yaad karo, apne hridayon se dekhenge, Alma aur Amulek se sikhenge, aur Uddhaarkarta ke jiwan ko badalne waale shabdon ko sunnenge: “Mere, piche chalo.”
Main tumhe unke pukaar ko sunne ke liye kahata hoon, kyunki vaastav mein tumhe swarg se inaam milega. Prabhu ka ashirwaad tumhare aur tumhare ghar par rahega. 14
Is ka main gawahi deta hoon aur Ishu Maseeh ke naam ek devdut ki haysiyath se tumhe asirwaad deta hoon, amen.
