Niswaarth Sewa ka Anand
Humne apne Swarg ke Pitah se vaada kiya hai ki hum Uski aur auron ki pyaar se sewa aur Uski ichcha sab kaam me karenge.
Pichle maha sammelan ke baad, dher jan hamaar paas ek hi sawaal le ke aais: “Kya weh kursiyon aaraamadayak hai?” Hamaar jawaab har baar ek hi raha: “Woh kursiaan bahut aaraamadaayak hai agar tumhe bhaashan na dena pade.” Yeh sach hai, nah? Hamaar kursi is sammelan me utni hee araamadaayak nahi hai, lekin hum is shaam ko aapseh baat karne ke aashis aur i sammaan ke liye vaastav me bahut abhaari hai.
Kabhi kabhi jab hum sewa karte hai, hamein alag alag kursiyaan (kollings) me baethne ka maoka milta hai. Kuch me bahut aaraam milta hai aur kuch me nahi, lekin humne apne Swarg ke Pitah se vaada kiya hai ki hum Uski aur auron ki pyaar se sewa karenge aur Uski ichcha sab kaam me karenge.
Kuch saal pehle, Girja ke yuva ne seekha ki “jab tum ‘Parmeshwar ke sewa me rehte ho’ [Doctrine and Covenants 4:2], tum sabse mahaan safar ki shuruaat karte ho. Tum Parmeshwar ke madad karta hai, Uske kaam jaldi karaneh mei, aur yeh ek mahaan, anandmay, aur anokha anubhav hai.”1 Yeh ek safar hai aur sab ke liye uplapdh hai—koi bhi umar ke—aur yeh ek safar hai jo hum logh ke jaiseh pyareh Profet neh kahan yeh “vachanbadh rasteh” pe le ke jaae hai.2
Durbhaagye hai, toh bhi, hum ek swaarthi duniya me rehta jahan log aksar pucheh,“Is me hamaar faeda kya hei?,” bajay puchne ke, “Hum kiske sakta aaj madad kare?” ya “Kaise sakta hum apan nayukti me Prabhu ke aur achcha se sewa kare?” ya “Kya hum bharpure Prabhu ke sab kutch deta hei?”
Hamaar jiwan me niswaarth sewa ke bada uddharan hai Bahan Victoria Antonietti. Victoria hamaar shaakha (branch) ki ek Praemri shikshak thi jab hum Argentina me choti ladki thi. Sab Mangalwaar ke shaam ke, jab hum long Praemri me milta raha, woh hum logh ke choklet kaik laati rahi. Sab ko kaaik bahut pasand raha—sab ko, siwaay humme. Humme choklet kaaik se nafrat raha! Aur bhale woh khoshish karti thee humme bhi kaik dewe ke, hum sab taaim nahi kar deta raha.
Ek roj jab woh baaki batche ke sathe choklet kaaik baat lis raha, hum usse pucha, “Kyon aap koi alag flaiva nahi laata—jaise orange ya vanilla?”
Thoda hase ke baad, woh humse puchis, “Kyon he nahi tum ek chota tukda khaata? Yeh kaaik me ek khaas cheez choda hai, aur hum vaada karta ki agar tum khaaega, tum iske laaik karega!”
Hum aaspaas dekha, aur hum achambha hoya, sab koi kaaik anand le ke khaata raha. Hum thoda aazamaaneh ke liye maan liya. Kya tum bataye sakta konchi bheh? Hummeh pasand aais! U pehla bar raha jab ham choklet kaaik ke maja lia.
Bahut saal baad hum jaan paaya Bahan Antonietti choklet kaaik me kon cheez chodhti rahi. Hamaar bache aur hum har saptah apan maa se milne jaata raha. Aisan ek bhent me, Maa aur hum choklet kaaik kha rahe theh, aur hum uske bataya kaise hum pehla baar i choklet kaaik pasand kara raha. Tab u humme pura kahani ke sachchaai batais.
“Tum dekoh, Cris,” hamaar maa bolis, “Victoria aur uske parivaar ke paas bahut kuch nahi raha, aur har hafta uske chunana padhta hai bus ke bhaada bhare aur apan chaar batche ke sange Praemri aay ya apan Praemri klaas ke liyeh choklet kaaik ke cheezeh kharideh. Woh sab taaim bus ke jagah choklet kaaik chunti rahi, aur apneh bacheh ke saath doh meel [3 km] chalti rahi, har tareekeh seh, mausam ke nah parwaah kare.”
U roj humme uske choklet kaaik ke liye behtar prashansa hois. Bahut mahatwapooran hai, hum seekha ki Victoria ke kaaik ke gupt saamaan uske pyaar unkeh liyeh jiske woh sewa karti thi, aur uske niswaarth balidaan hum logh ke paksh.
Victoria ke kaaik ke baare mei soch ke hameh yaad karaeh me madat karis ek niswaarth sewa ke zaroori seekh Prabhu ke dwara apan chela long ke liye jab woh chaleh jah rahe the mandir ke tijori ke or. Tum kahani janta hai. Elder James E. Talmage sikhaais ki wahan 13 tijori theh, “aur inhi me log apne daan chodte theh [alag alag] vajah ke liye jo [un] bakso pe likha tha.” Ishu daan dene waleh logh ke laain dekhta raha, joh dher rakam ke insaan seh banah hua raha. Kuch log apan uphaar “sachaaee” se deta raha jabki aur sab “dher se chaandi aur sona,” aashaa karteh theh, dekhanne ki aur prashansa ke umeedh karte the.
Un tamaam logon me se ek kangaal vidhwa bhi thi, jisne … ek tijori me do chote sikke, jise maait kehte usme choda; uska daan Amriki paise me aadha sent seh kam tha. Prabhu ne Apne sab chelon ko paas bulaya, unhe nirdheshit dhyaan, us kangaal vidhwa ki aur uske karm ki or karaya aur bola: ‘Mai tum se sach kehta hoon, Ki mandir ke tijori me daalne waalo me se is kangaal vidhwa ne sab se adhik daala hai: Kyunki sab ne apne dhan ki badhanti me se daala hai; parantu is ne apni ghati me se jo kuch uska tha, parantu, apni saari jiwika daal di hai’ [Mark 12:43–44].”3
Vidhwa dekneh mei koi bhaari stithi nahi tha samaaj me uskeh samay. Vaastao me woh bahut mahatva cheez pakdhi thi: uske iraade pavitr tha, aur woh apan sab kuch de dis. Saait woh aur sab se kamti deis, aur jaada chup chaap se, aur sab se alag rakam se. Thoda jan ke nazar me, woh jo kutch deis utna mahatvaa nahi raha, lekin Uddhaarkarta ke nazar me, jo “sab mann aur dil ke ichcha jaanta hai,”4 woh apan sab kuch de deis .
Bahano, kya hum logh apan sab kuch Prabhu ko deta bina kuch chupaawe? Kya hum long apan taaim aur gun ke balidaan deta hai ki bhadhti peedhi Prabhu se pyaar aur Uske aagyaa paalan karenah seekhe? Kya hum logh apan aas paas ke, aur jinneh hum logh ke jimwaari soupa gaya, dekhbhaal aur lagan seh —balidaan apna taaim aur mehnat ko karna, jo aniyeh tarah seh istmaal hota? Ka hum logh duno mahaan aagya par jee rahe hai—Parmeshwar se pyaar aur Unke bachcho se pyaar?5 Aksar u pyaar sewa kare mei pragat hai.
Pradhaan Dallin H. Oaks sikhaais: “Hum logh ke Uddhaarkarta Khud ko niswaarth sewa me apneh ko deh dis. Woh sikhaais ki har ek logh ko chaahi Uske peecheh ho lo asswaarthi rahe taaki dusron ki sewa kar sakein.
Usne aage kaha:
“Ek jaana maana uddharan apne aap ko dusron ke sewa me kho dene ka … hai woh balidaan jo maata-pitah apan bachcho ke liye kare. Maata logh peedha sahei aur niji praatmiktah aur aaraam khoh de, bache paeda aur paale meh. Pitaaen apan jiwan aur subidha ko adjast kare ek parivaar ke sahara dewe ke liyeh. …
“… Hum unse bhi khush hai jon apan vikalaang parivaar sadasyon aur budhe maata-pitah ke khyaal kare. Is sewa me seh koi nahi pucheh, hamaar faeda kya hai is me? I sab ke zaroori niji subidha bagal kare, niswaath sewa ke liye …
“[Aur] yeh sab anant seekh, dikhawe hai ki hum logh jaada khushi aur jaada santusht hai jab hum logh kuch dewe ke liye karta, na ki haasil kare ke liye.
“Hum long ke Uddhaarkarta sikhaawe hai Uske rasta pe chale ke zaroori balidaan kare se jisse hum long dusar ke niswaarth sewa me apne aap bhuul sakta jaae.”6
Pradhaan Thomas S. Monson ne bhi sikhlaaya ki “saait ke baat jab hum logh apan Bananeh waleh keh aamne-saamne aaega, hum logh se nahi pucha jaai, ‘Tum ketna padh sambhala raha?’ lekin yeh ki, ‘Tum ketna logh ke madad kara?“ Sach me, tum kabhi Prabhu se nahi pyaar kar saktah jab tak tum Uske banaya ge insaan ke sewa nahin kara.”7
Doosra baat hai, bahano, koi farak nahi padhe chahe hum aaraam la kursi me baithega ya hum logh piche row me murchaan kursi pe baith ke sabha meh bhaagh le. Koi farak nahi padhi agar hum logh, zaroorat ke kaaran, thoda deri ke liyeh kahi bhaire chal diya roteh bachche ko shaant karawe ke liye. Iskeh maaney yeh hei ki hum logh sewa kare ke ichcha se aayah, ki hum logh uneh cheena jisseh hum logh dekh rekh kara aur ulogh ke khushi se swaagat kara, aur hum logh apne aap se cheen parchi karah u logh seh jon hammareh row me folding kursi sherr karis—dosti ke haath badhaana bhale hum logh ke batawe nahi ge u logh ke dekh rekh karo. Aur yeh zaroor farak padhi ki hum logh wahi sab karte raho, jo karta hai sewa ke khaas tatva ke saath, saath pyaar aur balidaan seh.
Hum ee jaan paaya ki hum logh ke safal ya achcha Praemri shikshak baneh ke liye,choklet kaaik banawe ke kaam nahi hai, kyunki woh kaaik ke baare me nahi raha. Par u kaam ke peeche pyaar raha.
Hum gawahi deta hai ki pyaar pavitra howe balidaan se—ek shikshak ke balidaan aur isse behtar Parmeshwar ke Putra ke aakhri aur anant balidaan ke zariye. Hum gawahi deta hai ki woh jinda hai! Hum Useh pyaar karta aur hamar itcha hei ki swaarthi ichcha dur kare, taki hum useh pyaar kare aur Uske rakam pyaar aur dekhrekh kareh. Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
