Andar Khade Ho Jaayo aur Andar Tehro
Hum kisi bhi apne kaarye ke sudhaar ko avashyaak banaa sakte hai aur aasha aur vishwaas ke saath aage badh sakte hai. Hum bahaduri se “andar se khade” rahe aur “andar tehre.”
Kai saalon pahale meri jawaan naatin mere paas daudi hui aai aur khushi se elaan kiya, “Nanaji, Nanaji, main ne aaj apne soccar ki khel mein teen gol banayi!”
Maine josh se jawaab diya, “Bahut achcha, Sarah!”
Phir uski maa meri or apne khushi bhare aakhon se mujhe dekha aur kaha, “Skor do aur ek tha.
Maine yaha nahi pucha ki kaun jita tha!
Sammelan pratibindh, prakat hone ki kriya, aur kabhikabhi dobara maargdarshan ka samay hai.
Yaha par ek car rental kampani hai jinke paas ek GPS system hai jiska naam NeverLost hai. Agar tum apna ikcha maarg us mein daalne ke baad koi galat modh le letey ho, maarg dikhlane waali awaaz yah nahi kahe gi, “Tum pagal ho!” parantu baadmein, bahut hi achchi tarike se, kahegi, “Maarg badal raha hai— jab ho sakey, to ek kanooni U-turn le.”
Ezekiel mein hum yeh aschariye vada ko padhte hain:
“Parantu yadi dusht jan apne sab paapon se phirkar, meri sab vidhiyon ka paalan kare aur nyaye aur dharam ke kaam kare, to wah na marega; waran jiwit hi rahega.
“Usne jitne apraadh kiye ho, un mein se kisi ka samran uske virudh nahi kiya jayega.”1
Kitna shaandar vaada hai, lekin teesre vaade ko praapt karne ke liye do sabhi ka ki avashakyata hai samapt karna. Sabhi se mudho; sabhi rakho; to sabhi ko maaf kar diya gaya hai. Iski avashakyata “andar tehro”!
Hamein us admi ki tarah nahi banna hai jo, jaesa Wall Street Journal ne report kiya, ki ek envelop mein payese ke saath benaam paatra ko dhaal kar Internal Revenue Service ke paas bheja jismein likha tha, “Priye IRS: kripa bandh hua payese jo main pichle taxes baaki tha. P.S. Agar iske baad meri antaraatma abhi bhi mujhe pareshaan karti hai, to main aapko baaki bhejunga.”2
Yeh karne ka tarika nahi hai! Hum isse dekhne ke liye nahi rokhte hai ki hum kis prakar ho sakta hai nayaye se bachne ke liye. Prabhu ko dil aur ek mann ki ichcha ki zaroorat hai.3 Hamare pure dil se! Jab hum baptisma lete hain, to hum Uddhaarkarta ka paalan karne ke hamare wade ke Pratik ke rup mein puri tarah se dube hue hai, adhe-mann se nahi. Jab hum puri tarah se pratibandh hai aur “andar tehro,” Parmeshwar hume apne shakti prakat karta hai aur ashirwaad deta hai.4 Jab hum gungune hote hai ya kewal adhe pratibandh, to hum Parmeshwar ke kuch mahaan ashirwaadon ko prapt nahi kar paatein hain.5
Kai saalon pehle, Maine Scouts ko ek registhaan par camp mein le gaya. Ladko ne ek badi si aag baanae jaha weh so gaye, aur har achche Scout neta ki tarah, main apne truck ke piche soya tha. Subeh jab main jaga aur camp ki sthaan ki or dekha, maine ek Scout ko dekha, jisse main Paul kahunga, jaise wah ek kathin raat thi, raat bhar soya nahi tha. Maine pucha ki usne kaese soya, aur usne jawaab diya, “Bahut achchi tarah se nahi.”
Jab maine pucha kyo, usne kaha, “mujhe thand lag rahi thi; aag bhuj gayi thi.”
Maine jawaab diya, “Ha, aag bhujh jaata hai. Aapki sonewaala bag kaafi garam nahi thi?”
Koi jawaab nahi.
Us samay ek anye Scout mein se zor se kaha, “Usne apna sonewaala bag ko istamaal nahi kiya tha.”
Maine aschariye se pucha, “Kyo nahi, Paul?”
Woh shaant tha—phir anth mein sharminda se bola: “Maine socha ki agar maine apni sonewaala bag nahi khola, to mujhe ise phir se lapetna nahi padega.”
Sachchi kahani: woh ghanto tak ruka raha kyunki woh kaam ke panch minat ko bacchaane ki koshish kar raha tha. Hum shaayad sochenge: “Kitna paagal hai! Kaun kabhi aisa karega?” Achcha, hum har samay adhik khatarnaak tarike se karte hai. Jab hum imaandari se prarthna karte hai, aur har din Adhyayan karte hai, aur har din susamachaar ko harane ke liye samay nahi lete hai, to hum asal mein hamari aadhyatmik sonewaala bag ko kholne se inkaar karta hai, na ki kewal aag nikaal jaegi, lekin hum asurakchit ho sakte hai aur adhyaatmik rup se tandha ho jaana chahiye.
Jab hum apne vaadon se aatmsantusht aur sanbhavit khatro se anjan rehte hain, hum parinaam ke liye zimmedaar hain. Prabhu ne hume salaha di hai “ki apne aap ko saaodhaan rehna, taki anant jiwan ke vachnon ko dyaan purvaak dyan de sake.”6 Aur Usne aage batlaya, Uska khoon hume saaf nahi kar sakta hai agar weh mujhe sunnege nahi.”7
Sahi mein, yah bahut saral hai ki “andar tehro” ki tarah se na ki adhe. Jab hum adhe ya andar nahi hote hain, yah par, Star Wars bhaasha mein kehte hai, “yah par kuch hai jo teek nahi hai.” Hum Parmeshwar ke aagya ke saath nahi hote aur isliye khushiyon ke prakriti ke saath nahi hai.8 Isaiah na kaha:
“Parantu dusht to laharate hue samundra ke samaan hai jo sthir nahi raha sakta; aur uska jal mael aur kich uchalta hai.
“Dushton ke liye shanti nahi hai, mere Parmeshwar ka yahi vachan hai.”9
Saobhaagye se, koi fark nahi padta ki hum hai ya hum kaha hai, hum Uddhaarkarta ke prabhaao se dur nahi hai, jisne kaha: “Isliye, jo koi bhi paschataap karta hai aur mere paas ek bachche ke smaan hokar aata hai use swikaar karunga, kyunki Parmeshwar ka raajye ayese hi logon ka hai. Dekho, ayese hi logon ke liye maine apna jiwan diya aur phir se waapis le liya.”10
Jab hum puri tarah se paschataap karenge aur Prabhu par nirbhar rahenge, hume shakti prapt hoga jab ek chote bachche ki tarah vinamar aur vishwaas rakhna hoga,11 jiwan ke anubhao se gyaan ka milega. Job ne prakat kiya, “Dharmi log bhi apne maarg par pakde rakhege, aur jiske paas shudh haath hoge wah mazboot aur mazboot hoga.”12 Wah Tennyson tha jisne likha, “Mera shakti das ke barabar hai, kyunki mera hriday saaf hai.”13 Prabhu ne salaha diya, “Pavitra sthaanon par khade raho, aur hilna mat.”14
Jiwan bhaar rog se ladhne ke bad hamara beta Justin 19 varsh ki umr mein ki mritiyu ho gayi. Ek prabhubhojh sabha mein uskne marne se pehle usne hamein ek bhaashan diya tha, usne ek kahani batlaya jo uske liye matlab rakhta hai ek pita aur uske chote bete ke bare mein jo ek khilaone ki dukaan mein gaye jaha ek aadmi ki tarah fula hua panchin beg tha. Ladke ne fula hua aadmi ko panch mara, jo har panch ke baad gira aur turant hi waapis khada ho gaya. Pita ne apne chote bete se pucha kyo aadmi waapis ah jata tha. Ladke ne ek pal ke liye socha aur phir kaha, “mujhe nahi pata. Mujhe lagta hai ki yah isliye hai kyunki wah andar par khada hai.” “Andar teharne” ke liye, hume zaroori hai ki “andar khade ho jaao.”15
Hum andar khade hote hai jab hum dhiraj se Prabhu ka shaanti se intazaar karte hain sharir mein se humare kaaton ko nikaalne ya hume ant tak jhelne ki shakti dene ke liye.16 Aise kaate ki bimaari, pangu hona, dimaagi bimari, kisi priyejan ki mritiyu ho sakti hai, aur itne saare anye kaaran bhi.
Hum andar khade hote hai jab hum haathon ko upar uthaate hai jo latkate hai. Hum andar khade hote hain jab hum viridhi ke khilaaf sachchaai ke liye ladte hai aur duniya dari ki cheeze jo aur zyaada joyti ke khilaaf ho raha hai, bure ko achcha aur achche ko bura kehte hue17 aur “dharmi logon ki dharmikta ke karan unki ninda karte hue.”18
Kathinaaiyo ke baujood andar khade rehna mumkin hai sachche zameer, Pavitra Aatma dwara mazboot hona aur daya bhara aaswaan aur ek anant nazariya jo maranshilta ke samajh se bahar hai ke kaaran.19 Humare amaranshilta ki jiwan mein hum khushi se chilaye maranshilta ke anubhao ke aosar ke liye.20 Hum “andar tehro” the jab hum ne Swarg ke Pita ke yojna ko khushi se sabhi samay bachane ka nirnaye liya tha. Yeh khade hone ka samay hai aur phir se Unki yojna ka bachaao!
Mere 97-saal-ke-bude pita abhi haal hi mein guzar gaye. Jab kabhi koi us se puchta ki tum kaise ho, uske humesha ka jawaab tha, “Ek se das ke skel me, Mai lagbhag 25 ka hoon!” Yaha tak ki is pyaare aadmi khada ya baeth nahi sakta tha aur bolne mein kaafi kathinaayi thi, uska jawaab abhi bhi wahi tha. Wah humesha andar khada tha.
Jab mere pitaji 90 ke the, hum ek airport par the aur use pucha ki kya main uske liye wilcheyar laau. Usne kaha, “Nahi, Gary—shayad jab main bhudha ho jaaun tab.” Aur phir usne kaha, “Iske alawa, agar main chalne se thaka hua hoon, to main humesha daud sakta hoon.” Agar hum raaste ke “andar tehare” nahi jispar hum abhi chal rahe hain, phir to hume daudne ki zaroorat hai; hume shaayad apna raasta dobara tay karna pade. Hume shayad U-turn maarna pade. Hume aur bhi achchie tarah se sikhna pade, aur bhi achchie tarah se prarthna karna pade, ya jo zaroori chezein nahi hai par amal na dein taki hum un cheezon par dein jo zaroori hai. Hum duniya bhar ki cheezon ko bhoolna hoga taaki anant jiwan par amal dein. Mere pitaji ko yah samajh mein aaya.
Jab wah World War II ke samay nevy mein tha, waha mahaan aur bade imaarat 21 mein the jo uski siddhaanton ka mazaak udate the; uske do jahaj par ka sathi, Dale Maddox aur Don Davidson, unhone dekha lekin mazaa nahi kiya. Unhone pucha, “Sabin, tum dusron se itne alag kyo ho? Aapke paas ucchi naetiknay hai aur sharaab, tambaaku, ya gaali nahi boltey, lekin aap shaant aur khush hai.”
Mere pitaji ke saobhaao se alag tha jo weh Mormons ke bare mein jaanti thi, aur mere pitaji un donon jahaj par ka saathi ko shikshan aur baptisma diya. Dale ke maata-pita bahut dukhi the aur use chetaoni diya ki agar woh Girja mein shaamil hua woh apne premika, Mary Olive, ko kho degi. Lekin woh prachaarakon iske bolne par prachaarakon se mili aur usne baptisma liya.
Ladaai ke khatam hone ke kareeb , Pradhaan Heber J. Grant ne prachaarakon ki niyukti kiya, jismein shaadi-shuda aadmi the. Dale aur Maryolive ne faesla kiya ki Dale ko sewa karne jaana chahiye bhale hi wah paheli baar maa banne waali thi. Aakhir mein unhe nao bachche huwe—teen ladke aur che ladkiyon. Sabhi nao mission par gaye the, Dale aur Maryolive baad mein gaye sewa karne, jinhone apne khud ke teen mission ko pura kiya. Darjanon naati-poton ne bhi sewa kiya tha. Unke do bete, John aur Matthew Maddox, abhi Tabernacle Gayakmandali ki sadasye hain, aur Matthew ka damaad, Ryan bhi. Maddox parivaar mein ab 144 sadasye hai aur badhiya uddharan hai “andar teharne” ke.
Jab hum apne pitaji ke kagzaat ke maadhyam ko dekh rahe the, hume Jennifer Richards ka ek patra mila, dusre jahaj par ke paach ladkiyon mein se ek thi, Don Davidson. Usne likha: “Tumhare sachchaai ne humare jiwan ko badal diya. Yah kehna bahut mushkil hai ki bina Girjaghar ke humare jiwan kaesa hota. Mere pitaji ne susamachaar pyaar karte hue anth tak ise jiwit rahene ki koshish ki.”22
Achche vyakti ke liye prabhaao ko maapna kathin hai, pratyek vyakti ko andar khade ho sakte hai. Mere pitaji aur do jahaj par ka saathi unke baaton ko nahi sunna chahate the jo mahaan aur bade imaarat mein the jinhone grihana ki ungali utaya.23 Weh jaante the ki yah bhidh ke mukable Shrishtikarta ka paalan karna behtar hai.
Devdut Paul humare din ka varnan kar sakta tha jab usne Timothy se kaha tha ki “in ko chodh kar kitne log firkar bakwaad ki aur bhatak gaye”24 Yaha par aaj duniya mein bahut hi “vyarth shor machaana” hai. Yah mahaan aur bade imaarat mein chal rahi baatein hain.25 Humesha ayesa hota hai ki jab weh buraai ya khudh ko samjhate hain weh apne raste se bhatak jaate hai aur dur chale jaate hain. Yah kabhikabhi un logo se aata hai jinhone kimat ka bhuktaan “andar teharne” mein nahi di hai aur prakritik manushye ka palaan karna pasand karte hai jise bhavishyavakta ne swikriti nahi diya hai.
Saobhaagye se, hume pata hai ki vihwaasiyon ke liye kaesa anth hoga. Jab hum “andar tehre” hote hai, to humare paas puri tarah se mahaan ashwaasan hai ki sab kuch jo Parmeshwaar se prem rakhte hai unke liye achcha kam karte hai.”26 Elder Neal A. Maxwell ne kaha, “Mat daro, sirf sahi se jiyo.”27
Mere sasurji BYU mein shikshak the aur BYU futbol ko bahut pasand karte hain parantu unke khel nahi dekh pata tha kyunki wah parinaam ke baare mein bahut ghabra raha tha. Phir ek aschariye cheez hua—VCR aaya, jisse khel ko rekod karke dekh sakte the. Agar BYU jeeta, to wah rekoding ko purn aatmavishwaas ke saath dekhega, bilkul samapt hone ke nichit rup se! Agar unheo galat tarike se dandit kiya gaya, chot laga, ya ant mein labhbhag haar rahe ho, woh zor nahi tha kyunki unhe pataa tha ki weh jitenge! Tum yah kaha sakte ho ki uske paas “ek sahi asha ki umeed tha”!28
Aisa hi hamare saath bhi hai. Jab hum vishwaasi rehte hain, humare paas ashwaan hota hai ki anth mein humare liye sabhi kuch achcha hoga. Prabhu ka vaada sachcha hai. Iska matlab ya nahi hai ki yah maransheel university aasaan hoga ya bina aansu ke, lekin jaisa ki Paul ne likha tha, “Jo baate aankh ne nahi dekhi aur kaan ne nahi sunni, aur jo baate manushye ke chit mein nahi chadhi, weh hi hai jo Parmeshwaar ne apne prem rakhnewaalo ke liye tayyaar ki hai.”29
Bhaaiyon aur bahanon, kisi ne kal paap nahi kiya hai. Hum kisi bhi apne kaarye ke sudhaar ko avashyaak banaa sakte hai aur aasha aur vishwaas ke saath aage badh sakte hai. Hum bahaduri se “andar se khade” rahe aur “andar tehre.” Hume Swarg ke Pita ke yojna aur Uske Putra ki mission, humare Uddharkarta mein sachchaai se aur himmat rakhna hoga, yah mera prarthna hai Ishu Masih ke pavitra naam se, amen.
