Swarg ke Raushni Ke Rakhwaale
Kyunki aap Parmeshwar ke priesthud rakhte hai aur Ishu Masih ke chele ho, aap raushni ke rakhwaale ho.
Ek buzurg aadmi post office counter ke laain me khada raha stamp kharide ke kostin. Ek jawaan mahila ne dekha ki u mushkil se chal paata raha aur mangta raha uske dekhawe kaise machine se sako stamp lo taaim bachawe ke kostin. Buzurg admi bolis, “Dhanyevaad, lekin hum mangta hai wait kare. I machine humse hamaar arthritis ke baare me to nahin puchi.”
Kabhi kabhi kisi se baat karne se madad milti hai yeh jaan ke ki koi parwaah kare hai.
Peera, dukh, aur beemaari jaise anubhav hum sab ke howe hai—durghatna, takleef, aur kangali hum long ke aatma ke apan intenal haad drive ke kaafi memory sake lele.
Jab hum long ke sharirik tandurusti ki baat aati hai, hum long budhapa aur beemari ke apan dharti la jiwan ke ek paat samajh leta hai. Hum long profeshanal long ke salaah leta jon jaane sharirik denh ke baare me. Jab hum long imoshanal kasht ya maansik beemaari ke saamna karta hai, hum long expert long se madad leta hai jon i sab rakam ke takleef raait kare.
Jon rakam se hum long sharirik aur imoshanal mushkilon ke saamna karta, wahi rakam aatmik chunaotiyaan bhi hoti hai. Hum long sab apan jiwan me aisan taaim dekha hoi jab hum long ke testimoni mazboot rehwe. Hum aisan bhi taaim dekha hoi jab hum long ke Swarg ke Pita dur lage hai. Waisan bhi taaim rehwe jab hum long Aatma la baat long ke apan dil se chahata hai. Waisan taaim rehwe jab u utna anmol nahi lage ya kam zaroorat ka lage.
Aaj humaar ichcha hai aatmik swaasth pe baat kari—kaise sake hum long ke changaai mile tehraao se aur sako furtila, aatmik swaasth ke rasta pe raho.
Aatmik Beemaari
Kabhi kabhi aatmik beemaari paap ya imoshanal ghaao ke kaaran hota hai. Kabhi kabhi aatmik kharabi itna ahiste-ahiste hota hai ki hamein batawe me mushkil hota hai. Sedimentary patthar ke layers ki tarah, aatmik peeda aur dukh taaim le ke badhta hai, hamare aatmaaon itna bhaari hota hai ki bojh sehna kathin hota hai. Maano, aisa ho sakta hai jab, hamare kaam, ghar, aur girjaghar ki zimmedaariyaan itni jaada ho ki hum susamachaar me anand lena chodh dein. Hum saait mehsoos karenge ki hum aur kuch nahi de sakte ya aagya paalan karna hamare shakti se baahar hai.
Lekin kyunki aatmik mushkilein sachchi hoti hai ka matlab nahi hai ki woh theek nahi hongi.
Hum logon ko aatmik rup se changaai mil sakta hai.
Sabse gehre aatmik ghaao bhi—haan, woh bhi jo dikhne me theek nahi honge lagte hai—ko theek kiya jaa sakta hai.
Mere pyaare doston, Ishu Masih ke changaai ke shakti hamare taaim me gaayab nahin hai.
Udhaarkarta ka changaai hamare taaim me hamare jiwano ko badal sakta hai jaise Uske taaim me hois raha. Agar hamare paas sirf biswaas hota, woh hamare haathon ko leta, hamare aatmaaon me swarg ki raushni aur changaai bhar deta, aur hum se u ashish se bhare bol kehta, “Utho, apan chataai uthaao, aur chalo.”1
Andhera aur Raushni
Jon cheej se bhi hum long aatmik beemaari aawe hai, u sab me ek baat saaim hai: divye raushni ka na hona.
Andhera hum ko achchi tarah dekhne nahin deta. U hum long ke dekhe ke shakti kamti kar dewe hai jisse kabhi saral aur saaf dikhta tha. Jab hum long andhera me rehta hai, hum long jaada galat chunaao kar leta hai, kyunki hum long apan rasta pe khatra nahi dekhe paata. Jab hum long andhera me rehta hai, hum long aasha sakta khoi dewe, kyunki hum long u shaanti aur anand nahi dekhe paata jon hum long ke intezaar kare hai agar hum long aage badhte rahega.
Dusri or, jab raushni ko dekh jaaye, woh hamein cheejon ko apni asli rup me dikhata hai. U hum long ke maoka dewe sach aur galat , ekdam avashyak aur maamuli ke beech ke antar batawe ke. Jab hum long raushni me rehta hai, hum long sahi choiz banae paata sachcha aadarsh pe. Jab hum raushni me hote hai, humare paas “aasha ki ek antant jyoti” hoti hai,”2 kyunki hum apne is jiwan ke mushkilon ko ek anant nazariye se dekh sakte hai.
Hum long aatmik changaai paae sakega jab hum long dunya ke parchaai se dur jaaega aur Masih ke anant Raushni me.
Jitna jaada hum long raushni ke siddhaant ke samjhega aur use karega, utna jaada hum long sakta aatmik beemaari long se bache jon insaan peeda aur takleef dewe hai sab taraf se, aur jitna achcha se hum long pavitra pristhud ke sewa furti, nidarta, pyaar, aur vinamrata se karta—hamare pyaare aur anant Raaja ke sachche sewak aur chelein.
Dunya ki Raushni
“Jagat ki jyoti main hoon: jo mere piche holega wah andhkaar mein nahi chalega, parantu jiwan ki raushni payega.”3
Iske matlab konchi hai?
Saral hai: Woh jo Ishu Masih ki baat vinamrata se sunta hai ko Unki raushni anubhav aur mehsoos hoga. Aur woh raushni badhega jab u gehra se gehra andhkaar ke dur nahin kari.
Iska matlab hai ki ek shakti hai, ek shaktishaali asar, jo Uddhaarkarta se milta hai. Woh “Parmeshwar ke upasthiti se nikalta hai aur space pe cha jaata hai.”4 Kyunki i shakti hum long ke jiwan ke gyaan deta, sudhaare, aur ujwal kare hai, skripchas me aksar use raushni kehte hai, lekin uske aatma aur sachchaai bhi bola jaawe hai.
Doctrine and Covenants me hum padhte hai, “Prabhu ke bol sachche hai, aur jo bhi sach hai woh raushni bhi hai, aur jo bhi sachchaai hai Aatma bhi hai, Ishu Masih ki Aatma.”5
I gehra soch—woh raushni aatma hai jo hai sachchaai aur i raushni har ek aatma par chaa jaata hai jo is dunya me janm leta hai—utna jaruri jitna aashavaadi hai. Masih ki Raushni un sab ke aatmaaon ko gyaan deta aur samaa jata hai un sabhi par jo Aatma ki aawaaz sunte hai.6
Masih ki Raushni pure vishwa pe chaa jaata hai.
Woh dharti pe chaa jaata hai.
Aur woh har ek dil par chaa jaata hai.
“Parmeshwar kisi manushye ka paksh nahin karta.”7 Unki raushni sab ke liye uplabdh hai—bada ya chota, dhani ya gareeb, saobhaagyewaan ya bina suvidhaaon waala.
Agar aap apna mann aur dil khol ke Masih ke Raushni ko apnaaoge aur humble hoke Uddhaarkarta ki sunoge, aapko jaada raushni milegi. Laain pe laain, yahan thoda aur wahan thoda, aap ko apne liye jaada raushni aur sachchaai milegi, taaki andhera aapke jiwan se nikal jaae.8
Parmeshwar aapke aankhi kholi.
Parmeshwar aapke ek nawa dil dei.
Parmeshwar ka pyaar, raushni, aur sachchaai sust cheezo ko fir jaga dega, aur aap Masih Ishu me naya jiwan paaoge.9
Prabhu ne vaada kiya hai, “Agar aapki aankh sirf meri mahima dekhe, tumhara pura denh raushni se bhar jaaega, aur aap me koi bhi andhera nahi hoga, aur u dahin jisme raushni bhara hai sab kuch samajhta hai.”10
Yeh hai aatmik beemaari ka aakhri ilaaj. Andhera gaayab ho jaata hai raushni ke aane se.
Aatmik Andhera ke Liye Ek Muhaora
Phir bhi, Parmeshwar hum long ke jabran Apan raushni ke apnaae ke nahi boli.
Agar hum long andhera me aaraam karne lagenge, aisa nahi ho sakta ki hamare dil badlenge.
Badlaao aane ke liye, hamein furti se raushni ko andar aane dena hai.
Apne planet ka daora karte samay jab mai eyalaain kaptaan tha apne udaano ke daoraan, mai hamesha akarshit hota tha Parmeshwar ke rachna ke sundarta aur perfecshan ko dekh kar. Mujhe dharti aur suraj ke beech ka rishta jaada achcha lagta tha. Mere liye yeh ek gehra lesson hai ki kaise andhera aur raushni maojaad hai.
Jaise hum long sab janta hai, har ek 24 ghanto me raat din me badalta hai aur din raat me badalta hai.
To, raat kya hai?
Yeh ek parchaai se jaada nahi hai.
Bahut andhere raato me bhi, suraj apan raushni bikhraae la nahi roke. Woh lagataar ujwal hi rehta hai. Lekin aadha dharti andhera me hi hai.
Raushni ki kami se andhera utpann hota hai.
Jab raat ka andhera chaata hai, suraj ke jaane se hum maayus ya chintit nahi hote hai. Hum yeh nahi sochte ki suraj waha nahi hai ya mar gaya hai. Hum samajhte hai ki hum ek parchaai me hai, ki dharti ghumti(rotate) hote rahi, aur phir jaake suraj ki kirne hum tak fir pahunchegi.
Andhera ka eh nahi matlab hai ki raushni nahi hai. Jaada karke, iska matlab khali i hai ki hum long raait jagah pe nahi hai raushni mile ke kostin. Haal hi ke surya grahan ke daoraan kayi log koshish kar rahe chaand dwara uske patra bend ke parchaai tak pahunche ke, ek anjor garam din pe.
Yahi koi rakam, aatmik raushni lagataar Parmeshwar ke rachna chamakta hai. Shaetaan har ek koshish kari ek parchaai banawe ke ya khud se hamein parchaai banane dega. Woh hum long ke behlaaega apan khud ka grahan banane ke liye; woh hamein apne dusht jagahon mein dhakelega.
Jo log kabhi raushni me the aur Prabhu ki jayjaykaar karte the ke agal bagal bhi Aatmik andhera bhulne ka parda kar sakta hai. Phir bhi, sabse jaada andhera ke palon me bhi, Parmeshwar hum long ke vinamra pukaar ko sunta hai, jab hum kehte hai, “Prabhu, hum biswaas karta hai; hamaar abiswaas duur kare me madad karo.”11
Alma ke dinon me kayi logon ne mushkil ka saamna kiya aatmik cheezon ko swikaarne ke liye, aur “unke abiswaas ke kaaran,” Parmeshwar ki vaani ko samajh nahi paa rahe the; “aur unke dil bhi kathor ho gaye the.”12
Hum Raushni ke Rakhwaale Hai
Bhaaiyo, hamare uppar hai ki hum raait jagah pe rahega Ishu Masih ke susamachaar ke divye raushni aur sachchaai ke dekhe ko kostin. Chaahe jab raat ho jaata hai aur dunya andhere me ho jaati hai, hum Masih ke raushni me chalna, Unke aagya ka paalan karna, aur nidarta se gawahi dena Iske sachchaai aur mahaanta chun sakte hai.
Kyunki aap Parmeshwar ke priesthud rakhte hai aur Ishu Masih ke chele ho, aap raushni ke rakhwaale ho. Un cheezon ko karte raho jisse tum janta hai Uske divye raushni aur badhi. “Apne dipak ko upar uthaao”13 aur “manush ke aage [uske] chamken do ”—na ki sab ki tumaar achcha kaam dekh le, par “ki u long sake aapke Pita jon swarg me hai ke naam ke badhaai kare.”14
Mere pyaare bhaaiyo, aap Prabhu ke haathon me aozaar ho Swarg ke Pita ke bachchon ko raushni aur changaai dilaane ke lakshye se. Shaayad aap aatmik rup se beemaar logon ko changaai dene ke liye kaabil nahi mehsoos karte ho—jaise ek paust offis kamramchaari arthiritis me har kis madad nehin kar sakta, Aap apne liye aatmik chunaotiyon ka saamna kare. Fir bhi, Prabhu ne aapko niyukt kiya hai. Usne aapko adhikaar aur zimmedaari di hai zarooratmandon tak pahunchne ke liye. Usne aapko Apne pavitra priesthud ki shakti di hai andhkaar me raushni laane ke liye aur Parmeshwar ke ladkan ke upar thaane aur ashish dene ke liye. Parmeshwar ne Apna Girjaghar aur Apne anmol susamachaar ko punahsthaapit kiya, “jisse zakhmi aatma changa hua.”15 U aatmik tandurusti ke raasta tayaar karis, ki tehraao aur furtila, aatmik swaasth se changaai paae.
Jitna taaim aap apne dilon ko Parmeshwar ke aage jhukate ho vinamra praathna me, aap Unki raushni anubhav karte ho. Jitna taaim aap Unke vachan aur ichcha ko skripchas me dhoondhte ho, raushni ka unjala badhta hai. Jitna taaim tum koi ke dekhega zaroorat me aur apan aaraam ke balidaan karega pyaar se madad kare ke kostin, u raushni badhi aur fuli. Jitna taaim aap behkaawa ke thukraaega aur shudhta chunega, jitna taaim aap maafi maango ya doge, jitna taaim aap nidarta se sachchaai ke gawahi doge, rashni andhera ko bhaga deta hai aur dusar long ke akarshit karta jon raushni dhoondhe hai.
Think about your own personal experiences, moments of service to God and fellowmen when divine light has shined in your life—in the holy temple, at the sacrament table, in a quiet moment of prayerful pondering, in your family gatherings, or during an act of priesthood service. Un palon ko parivaar, doston, aur khaaskar apne yuva ke saath baanto jo raushni talaashte hai. Unhe chahiye aapse sunne ko ki is raushni se aati hai aasha aur changaai, ek andhere se bhare duniya me bhi.
Masih ke raushni aasha, khushiyaali, aur changaai laawe hai koi bhi aatmik ghaao ya beemaari me16 Jon koi bhi i algaao la prabhaao ke anubhav karis hai Dunya ke Raushni de waala ke haath me aozaar hai auron ko raushni dene me.17 Woh Raaja Lamoni ki tarah mehsoos karenge: I raushni ne uske hriday me khushi bhar diya tha, andhere ka baadal hat gaya tha, aur … anant jiwan ka raushni uski aatma me jal chuka tha.”18
Mere pyaare bhaaiyo, hamein Prabhu ko dhoondhna hai jabtak Unke anant jiwan ki raushni hamare andar ujiyala kar de aur hamara gawahi andhkaar me bhi nidar aur mazboot ho jaaye.
Hum praathna karta aur ashish deta ki aap Sarvashaktimaan Parmeshwar ke pristhud holdar apan taqdeer me safal honge aur Unke swarg ki raushni ko khushi se sambhaalenge. Ishu Masih, hamare Uddhaarkarta ke pavitra naam se, amen.
