Uske Aavaaz Suno
Bhaiyon aur bahano, duniya ke itne saare mukaabla karne la awaazon me, hum bayaan deta ki hum long ke Swarg ke Pita yeh mumkeen karis ki hum long Unki suneh aur palaan kare.
Aaj sabere, hamaar patni ke bhaai uske ek not deis jon u apan maa ke likhis raha kuch saal pehle. U samay pe, Bahan Homer ek choti ladki raha. Uske not ke, kuch bhaag ayse raha, “Pyaari Maa, mujhe maaf karna kyunki aaj maine apna gawahi nahi diya—par mujhe aap se pyaar hai.” Jab hum aaj bhojan karne gaye, hamme laga ki yeh bahut dilchasp baat hai. Isliye mai baetha, aur maine ek not likha ayse likha, “Pyaare Pradhaan Nelson, mujhe maaf karna kyunki aaj maine apna bhaashan nahi diya—par mujhe aapse pyaar hai.” Kisi kaaran yeh kehna sahi nahi laga. Isliye hum ab yahan hai. aur mai khush hoon aaj anye logon ke saath is sabha me bhaashan dene ke liye.
Kai saal bhe, hum ek chota havaee jahaaj par safar kara, ek naya pramaanit paayalat control par raha. Safar ke ant me, hum long zameen ke kareeb aae. Par jaise hum long zameen ke kareeb aya, hum suna ek alaam cockpit me jo paayalat ke choutaavanee dees ki “oopar jao.” Ye paayalat dekha doosra anubhavi saathi-paayalat ke or, jo ishara kiya niche jaane ko, runaway se alag, aur bola, “Abhi!”
Hum long ke havaee jahaaj teji se baen aur niche ki or le jaya ge, phir sahi altitude pe chadhis, our phir se landing petan me aais, aur hum long surakshit roop se apan manzil par pahucha. Hum long baad me jana ki ek aur havaee jahaaj tekof karne ke lie manjooree de dee ge raha. Agar hum long alaam ke nirdesh ke palan nahi karta, hum long i aane wale havaee jahaj me takra jaata. Ye anubhav do zaroori sabak sikais. Pahela, hum long ke jiwan me mahatvpooran kshan me, hum long sunega kai aavaaze hum long ke dhyaan me pardha daali. Aur doosra , ye mahatvpurn hai ki hum sahi la aavaaz ke soone.
Virodh me aane wala aavaaze
Hum us duniya me rahate jahan kai aavaaze hum long ke dhyaan ko dhoonde. Sabhi breking nius, tweets, blogs, podcasts, aur sammohak salaah Alexa, Siri, aur anye log ke saath, hum long ke kadhanai hoi, kaun aawaazon ko vishwaas kare. Kabhi kabhi hum long maargdharshan ka srot ke bheedh banae leta hai sotchta ki ye sab maargdharshane hum long ke sachai dai. Anye samay hum long “rukh jaata … doh vichaar ke beech meh.”1 hum choonata “na dhanda na garam.”2 Phir aur samay hum long jo suvidhaajanak hai, us ke peeche ho leta, dhyaan do veevaadh par jo hum long ke maargdharshan karai, ya vishesh roop se apan kudh ki kshamta par sotche ke.
Jabki yeh sab tarika sake madat kare, anubhav seekaay, ki yeh sab har waqt bharosaman nahi hai. Joh prasidh hai, har samay achcha nahi rahe. Rukh jaana, doh vichaar ke beech me, koi raasta nahi dekawe. Subhidhae, kabhi nahi us cheez jo zaroorat hai, ki taraf le jaae hai. Dhyaan dena ek aavaaz ya vichaar-vishay par sake hum long ke dekhe ke chamta de. Aur apan vichaar par poori tarah bharosa, sake hum long ke le jae atrikt bevakooph vichaaro me. Agar hum long saudhaan nahi raha, galat aavaaze sake hum long ke galat jagah par le jae jahan vishwaas susamachaar me bahut kathin rahi kare ke, aur phir khalipan, kadduapan aur asantoshi hum mehsoos karega.
Galat Aavaaze Sunnana
Hame pradarshit karne do, kiya hamar matlab hai ek samaanata aur susamachaar ke upayog kar ke. Parvat chadhne wale saral se oopar altitud 8,000 meetar ko “mout ka zon” kahete hai kyon ki, jo us oonchai par hai, jahan oxyjan nahi hai jeevan ko banae rake ke lie. Yahaan ek aatmik baraabary mout ka zone ke lie hai. Agar hum bahut samay avishwaasi jagah par bitaaega, toh koi bhi atcha kareke irada la aavaaz door hat jaawe, aatmik oxyjan ki tarah jo humko zaroori hai.
Mormon Dharamshaaastra mein hum Korihor ke baareh me padhta, jon ye anubhav karis raha. Uske bahut lokapriyata mila kiyunki uske shikshao “kaarmuk mann [ko] prasann karta raha.”3 U bolis ki mata-pitao aur profet moorak parampara seekae svatantrata ke simit aur agyaan ke sthir rakeh.4 Unhonne bahas karis ki manush log chaahi svatantrata me kuch bhi kare kyonki aagya kuch nahi hai sirf suvidhaapoorvak pratiband lagae gae hai.5 Uske liye, Ishu Masih ka Praeshchit vishwaas karna uske liye “krodhit dimaag ka asar raha,” banaaya gaya vishwaas us jan jo maujood nahi ho sakta kiyu ki Usko koi deke nahi sake.6
Korihor itna hul chul machaya ki uske mukhy nyaayadheesh aur utch purohit ke pass le jaya ge. Wahan, u utkar “utchi utchi baate karneh laga,” netaon ki aalochana aur sanket mangane laga. Ek sanket diya gaya. U mara gaya taaki woh baat nahi kar sakis. Korihor ke tab ehsaas bhais ki u dhoka khais, aur soche laga ki itna keemati satch u chodh dees raha, u vilaap karis, “hum hamesha jaanta raha. ”7
Korihor tab bhojan ki bheek mangis tab tak jab tak payron taleh kutchal kar maar diya gaya Zoramites ke samooh se.8 Antim kavita is kahani meh mili, yeh shaant pratibimb: “Aur is tarah shaitaan sambaalega nahi apan batche ko atim dino meh, par jaldi ghisat ke narak le jai.”9
Sahi Aavaaz Suno
Kyon ki Swarg ke Pita chahata hai ki hum sab behetar rahe, Woh iskeh sambhavana banaais hai ki hum sab unki aavaaz sune. Kai baar , hum long sunta hai Useh, Pavitra Atma ke prabhao se. Pavitra Aatma Parmeshwartav ka teesra sadesye hai. Woh saakshi de Pita aur Putr ki,10 Woh bheja gaya [hum long ke pass] “sab cheez ke baareh me seekhae ke,”11 aur itcha se “dikhai hum long ke sab cheez kya [hum long ke] karna hei.”12
Aatma boleh hai any any log se aur any any tarah aur Woh shayad boli ek vyakti se any tarah se any waqt par. Is ka nateejaa yeh hai, seekhna kai tareekha jis seh Woh hum long se baat kare, ek jeevan bhar ki khoj hai. Kabhi kabhi, Woh hum long ke “mann aur dilon me baat kareh”13 u aawaaz se jo chota, par shaktishaali, tej se “u long jon … suneh dhyaan se.”14 Aur samay, Uska prabhav “mann [o] [hum long ke] par kabja” ya “[hum long ke] bhaavanao par dabao dale.”15 Aur samay, hum long ke hirdhay “undar [hum long ke] jalee.”16 Aur any baar, Woh hamaare hirday ko khushi se bhar de, mann ko prasand kar de,17 ya shaanti de hum long ke pareshaan dilo meh.18
Uske Aawaaz Dhundo
Hum long ke Pita ki aavaaz dher jagah meh mili. Hum long paaega jab hum long praathna karega, susamaachaar adhyayan karega, aur Girja jaaega, vishwaasiye vichaar-vimarsh karega, ya jab mandir jaega. Nishchit roop se, isi saptaah anth sammelan me mili.
Aaj hum long sustain kara 15 aadmi profat, devdut, aur divye gyaan prakaashak ke roop me. Un ka aatmikta aur gyaan unko deta hai ek anokha yojana jon hum long ke sakht zaroorat hai. Unka susamaachaar assani se aur saath me unka bolee pooran spashtata se milta hai. Woh hum long ke wahi batae hai jo Parmeshwar mange hum long ke jaano, chaahe u lokapriy hai ya nahi.19
Uska aavaaz khojana in sab jagah par atcha hai, par zyaada kar un aavaaze me khojna aur accha hai. Aur jab hum sunnata hai, hum long ke zaroorat hai woh kareh jo batlae jae. Apostal James bolis, “Vachan par chalane waleh bano,aur kewal sunnane waleh nahi.”20 Aur Pradhaan Thomas S. Monson ne ek baar sikhaya: “Hum dekte hai. Hum intazzar karte hai. Hum suneh uska woh shaant, chota aavaaz. Jab woh kaheta hai, budhimaan aadmio aur auraten aagya maaneh.”21
Jab Disha Aane ke Deri Hai.
Jaldi hamaar pashewar jiwan me, Sista Homer aur humme bataegais ki hum long aapan naukri ki asainament mein badalao ko sveekaar karen. Is samay, aise dikta raha hum long ke jaise ek badha faisala. Hum long adhyayan kara, hum long upavaas raka, aur hum long pratna kara, par ek jawab aaneh me deri raha. Ant meh hum long ek nirnay liya aur aage badha. Jaise hum long ye kiya, hum long sthaai mehsoos kara sheeghr seekha ki ye ek sabse atcha nirnay hum long kabhee banaya.
Is ke nateeja yeh raha ki hum long seekha ki jawaab kabhi kabhi dheere se aae. Aysa hai kyunki abhi sahi samay nahi hai, kyunki jawaab ki zaroorat nahi hai, ya kyunki Parmeshwar hum par bharosa kare ki hum khud nirnay le. Elder Richard G. Scott ek baar seekhais ki hum long ko ehsaanmand rahe ke chaahi, aisan samay aur i vaada karis: “Jab tum long ke yogye jiwan jeeta hai aur tumaar chunao Masih ke shikshak par adhaarit hai aur tum long ke zaroorat rahi kaariye kareke, bahrosa ke saath aage badho. … Parmeshar tumhe bahut door aage badhe nahi dai beena chetaavanee ke, agar tum koi galat nirnay liya.”22
Hame Choonna Chahiye.
Aur isiliye, hum long ke zaroorat hai tay karna yeh sab vibhin aavaaze me se, koun ko hum sunega. Kya hum avishvasanneey aavaaze jo duniya maange, ya kya hum wahi karye kare, Pita ki aavaaze jo hum long ke rasta dekae chunaoti kare me aur hamen khathre se bachae? Adhik parisharan se jab hum dhoondhataa Uske aavaaze, yeh aasaan ho jae suneke. Yeh nahi ki Uske aavaaze unchee ho raha hai par ye ki hum long ke sunane kee kshamata badh gae hai Uddhaarkarta yeh vada karis ki agar hum “sunke palan karega [Uske] niyam, aur sune ga [Unke] salaahon ke, ”Woh “ [hum long ke] adhik dega.”23 Main gawahi deta hoon ki yah vada sachcha hai—hum meh se pratyek ke lie.
Lagbagh ek saal pahele, hum long apan badhe bhai ko kho diya ek dukhad otomobail durghatana mein. John ke praarambhik varshon vada aur pooranta seh bharpoor raha. Par jaise woh badha bhais, ek toota sharir aur asahayogee mann jivan khadin banaee dis. Jabki changaai ki jo asha karis raha, nahi milis is jeevan meh, John phir bhi apan vishvaas par atal raha, sahane kee thaan lees, sab se atcha kareke, ant talak.
Ab, hum janta hai ki John bahut atcha nahi raha, par hum soche laga kya raha jo uske itna sahan shakti deis. Kai aavaaze unko nimantrit mila nindak dal meh, par woh choonis, nahi bhaag le ke. Badhle me, woh sabse atcha karis apan jeevan, gospel centar meh lagai deis. Woh wahan rahene laga, kiyon ki woh jaanta raha apan guru ki aavaaz useh wahin mili; wahin bitais apan jeevan, woh janta raha ki wahan usko sikaya jai.
Samaapti
Bhaiyon aur bahano, duniya ke itne saare mukaabla karne la awaazon me, hum bayaan deta ki hum long ke Swarg ke Pita yeh mumkeen karis ki hum long Unki suneh aur palaan kare. Agar hum long saodhaan rahe, Woh aur Uske Putr hum long ke nirdeshan dei jise hum long dhoondtta hai, shakti jon ham long ke zaroorat hai, aur woh kushi deis jon hum long chahata hai. Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
