Unke Naam Ka Sammaan Karna
Isliye, vachan ke pehchaan aur sambandh se, hum Ishu Masih ke naam se jaane jaate hai.
Jab maata-pita khushi se ek bachche ke paeda hone ka intazaar karte hai, bachcha ke naam chune la zimmedaari u long pe rehwe hai. Shaayad jab aap paeda huwe the, aapko ek naam mila tha jo aapke purvajo se pariwaar me diya jaata hai. Ya shaayad jo naam tumhe diya gaya tha us saal ya ilaake me naamcheen tha jab aap paeda huwe the.
Profat Helaman aur uske patni apan ladkan Nephi aur Lehi ke arthpurn pariwaar ke naam dees raha. Helaman apan ladkan se batais:
“Maine tumhe apne un purvajo ke naam diye … ki jisse jab tum apna naam yaad karoge tab tum unhe bhi yaad karoge; aur jab tum unhe yaad karoge tab tum unke kaamo ko bhi yaad karoge; … ki kaise weh achche kehlaae, aur likhe gaye.”
“Isliye, mere beton, mai yeh chahata hoon ki tum wahi karo jo uchit hai.”1
Nephi aur Lehi ke naamo ne unhe madad kiya apne purvajo ke achche kaam yaad karne ko aur protsaahan diya achcha karne ke liye.
Bahano, chaahe jahan bhi hum rahenge, jo bhi bhaasha bolenge, ya chaahe hum 8 saal ke hai ya 108 ke, hamara ek khaas naam hai jiske yahi lakshye hai.
“Aur [hum] me se jitno ne Masih me baptisma liya hai unhonne Masih ko pahin liya hai … kyunki [hum] sab Masih Ishu me ek hai.”2
Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dinon ke Santon ka ke sadasye hone se, “humne pehle vaada kiya tha Masih ka naam apne upar lene ko, baptisma ke dharamsiddhaant ke zariye.”3 Is vachan ke zariye, humne vaada kiya tha hamesha Unhe yaad rakhe ke, aur dusar ke sewa kare ke. I vachan ke nibhaawe ke hum long ke ichcha har Sebath ke dohraaya jaata hai jab hum prabhubhoj lete hai aur ek baar phir khush hote us ashirvaad ke liye “naye jiwan ki si chaal chale[ein].”4
Jon naam hum long ke paeda hiwe pe mila raha hum long ke apan pehchaan hai aur hamare dharti ke pariwaaron ka sambandh hai. To bhi, jab hum “punar janam liye” the baptisma pe, hum kaun hai ka samajh badh jaata hai. “Aur jo vachan tumne kiya hai uske kaaran tum Masih ki santaan, … kyunki dekho, … usne aaj tumhe dharam se praapt kar liya hai; kyunki tum kehte ho ki uska vishwaas karne se tumhara dil badal chuka hai; isliye, tumne usme janam liya.”5
Isliye, vachan ke pehchaan aur sambandh se, hum Ishu Masih ke naam se jaane jaate hai. Aur “Sarvashaktimaan, Prabhu Ishu ke naam ko chodhkar, aur koi dusra naam, raasta ya mukti nahi hai jisse maanv vansh ko mukti mil sake.”6
Ishu ka naam Uske janam se bahut pehle jaana gaya tha. Ek devdut ne bhaavishyevani ki, Raaja Benjamin par, “Aur woh Ishu Masih kehlaaega, Parmeshwar ka Putra, … aur uski maa Mary kehlaaegi.”7 Uska “mukti ke prem”8 ka kaam Parmeshar ke bachchon ko bataya gaya jab bhi susamachaar dharti pe tha, Adam aur Eve ke samay se aaj tak, taaki woh jaan sake “ki weh apne paapon ki chama ke liye kahan dekhe.”9
Pichle saal, Pradhaan Russell M. Nelson ne ek profat ke binti “bhavishye pe asarkaarak raho bikhre Israel ko ikattha karke.” U hum long ke amantrit karis raha Mormon Dharamshaastra padhe ke aur “u sab verse maark kare ke jisme Uddhaarkarta ke baare me baat kare ya uske zikra kare.” Usne kaha ki hum “jaanbujh ke Masih ki baate karo, Masih me jayjaykaar karo, aur [hamare] parivaaron aur doston me Masih ka prachaar karo.” Shaayad aapane usake vaade ke phal ko pahachaanana shuroo kar diya hai ki “aap aur ve uddhaarakarta ke kareeb aa jaenge. .. Aur badlaao, aur chamatkaar, bhi hone shuru hoi.10
Hamara vaada hamesha Uddhaarkarta ko yaad rakhne ka hamein shakti deta hai sachchaai aur dhaarmikta ke liye khade hone ke liye—chaahe hum ek bade bheed me ho ya akele ekaant me, jahan koi bhi hamare kaam ko dekhta hai siwaae Parmeshwar ke. Jab hum long Uske yaad karega aur Uske naam lega, hum long me koi jagah nahi rahi khud-ko-nicha samjhe ke ya ghamand me nirnay kare ke. Uddhaarkarta pe apan nazariya daale, hum khud ko usi tarah dekhenge jaise hum hai—Parmeshwar ka ek chahita beti.
Vachan yaad karne pe amal karne se hamari duniya ki chintaaen door hoti hai, khud pe shak karna himmat me badalta hai, aur mushkil ke samay me aasha deta hai.
Aur jab hum thokar kha ke girenge vachanbadh maarg ke apne pragati me, hamein sirf Uska naam aur Uska pyaar-ka-daya yaad karna hoga hamare liye. “Kyunki usi ke paas saari shakti, saara gyaan, aur saara samajh hai; woh sab kuch samajhta hai aur Woh dayawaan hai … jo pashchataap karte aur Uske naam par vishwaas karte hai.”11 Sach me, isse sunehra swar nahi hai Ishu ke naam sa unke liye jo, ek tute hriday aur shokaart aatma ke saath “behtar karna aur behtar banna”12chahate hai.
Pradhaan Nelson sikhaais: “Woh din nahi raha jab tum ek shaant aur aaraam se jeene waale Isaai reh sakte ho. Aapka dharm sirf Raviwaar ko Girjaghar me dikh jaane ke baare me nahi hai. Yeh Raviwaar shubha se Shaniwaar raat tak ek sachche chela dikhne ke baare me hai. … Koi aesa nahi jise Prabhu Ishu Masih ka part-taaim chela kaha jaata hai.”13
Masih ke naam apan uppar lewe ke ichcha rakhna sirf kuch shabdon ke kahe se zyaada matlab rakhta hai. Yeh sirf bole la vaada nahi ya ek sanskritik jhuti banawat nahi. Yeh koi jiwan me hone waala avashyak pal ya naeim teg nahi jo hum pahente hai. Yeh ek kahawat nahi jo hum ek shelf pe rakh de ya deewaar pe taang de. Uska naam woh hai jise “pahanna hai,”14 hamare dilon pe likhna hai, aur “[hamare] upar khuda rehna hai.”15
Uddhaarkarta ka praeshchit ka balidaan hamesha yaad karna chahiye, hamare vichaaro, kaam, aur mel-jol me dusro ke saath. Woh na sirf hamare naamo ko yaad rakhta hai, par Woh hamein hamesha yaad rakhta hai. Uddhaarkarta ne ghoshna kiya:
“Kya ek maata apne doodh peete bachche ko bhool kar apne garbh se jane shishu se mamta-rahit ho, sakti hai? Haan, woh to bhool sakti hai, lekin he Israel ke gharane, mai tujhe nahi bhool sakta.
“Dekho, maine tumhara chitra apne haathon ki hatheliyon par khod kar banaya hai.”16
Pradhaan George Albert Smith ne sikhaya, “Aapko jo naam diye gaye hai unka sammaan karo, kyunki kisi din tumhara saobhaagye aur farz hoga report karna … apne Swarg ke Pita se … aap ne [un] naamon ka kya kiya hai.”17
Jis saodhaani se Nephi aur Lehi ke naam chune gaye the, kya hamare baare me bhi kaha jaa sakta hai ki hum Prabhu Ishu Masih ke sachche chelein hai? Kya hum Ishu Masih ke naam ka sammaan karte hai jise humne khud apne upar liya hai? Kya hum “ek prachaarak aur ek gawaah”18 dono hai Uske pyaar-bhare-daya aur Uske mukti dene waale shakti ke?
Bahut din nahi huwe, mai Mormon Dharamshaastra sunn raha tha. 2 Nephi ke aakhri adhyaaye me, maine sunaa Nephi ne kuch kaha jo maine kabhi pehle is tarah se padha na tha. Uske pure lekh me, woh “Muktidaata,” “Israel ka Pavitra Putra,” “Parmeshwar ka Memna,” aur “Masiha”ko sikhaata aur gawahi deta hai. Par jaise usne apna baat khatm kiya, maine use yeh shabd kehte suna: “saadharan baato se mujhe khushi milti hai; sachchaai se mujhe khushi milti hai; mere Ishu se, mujhe khushi milti hai kyunki Usne meri aatma ko bachaya hai.”19 Jab hum i shabd long suna, hamaar dil khushi manaais aur hum baar baar suna. Hum u verse ke pehchaana aur uske apan maana jaise hum apan naam pehchaanta aur apan maanta hai.
Prabhu ne kaha hai, “Haan, dhanye hai yeh log jo mera naam grahan karne ko taeyaar hai; kyunki unko mere naam se pukaara jaaega; aur weh mere hai.”20
Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dinon ke Santon ka ke sadasye hone ke naate, hum “prasannta se [apne upar] Masih ka naam lete hai”21 pyaar, shraddha, aur achche kaam se Unke naam ka sammaan karne se. Hum gawahi deta ki Wohi “Parmeshwar ka Memna hai, haan, yeh Anant Pita ka Putra hai.”22 Unke pavitra bete, Ishu Masih, ke naam se, amen.
