Ekjut Parmeshwar ke Kaam Me
Hamari Ishwaariye kshamata ko pura karane ka sabase prabhaavee tarika hai, ek saath kaam karana, pujaaree kee shakti aur adhikaar se dhany.
Priye bahanon aur bhaaiyon, mujhe anand mila hai aaj tumhare saath yahan rehne se. Jahaan bhi aap sun rahe hain, main apni bahanon ko gale lagaata hoon aur apane bhaiyon ko haardik shubhakaamanaen deta hoon. Hum Prabhu ke kaam mein ekajut hain.
Jab hum Adam aur Eve ke baare me sochte hai, to aksar hamara pahala vichaar jiwan hai jo Eden ka Bagicha me aadarsh rup se aadarsh aur paripurn hai. Mai sochta tha ki mausam hamesha sahee tha - bahut garm nahi aur bahut thanda nahi tha - aur prachur maatra me, swaadisht phal aur sabjiyaan badheen taaki weh jab chaahen tab kha saken. Jaise ki yah unke liye ek nai duniya thi, islie khoj karne ke liye bahut kuch tha, isliye har din dilachasp tha kyunki unhonne jaanawaron ke jiwan ke saath baatcheet ki aur unke sundar parivesh ka pata lagaya. Unhe aagya maanane ke liye diya gaya aur un nirdeshon ke paas jaane ke alag-alag tarike the, jisse kuch shuruaati chinta aur bhram paida ho gaya.1 Lekin jaisa ki unhonne nirnay liya ki unke jiwan ko hamesha ke liye badal diya, unhonne ek saath kaam karna sikh liya aur un uddeshyon ko pura karne me ekjut ho gae jo Parmeshwar ne unke liye - aur Unke sabhi bachchon ke liye.
Ab isi jodi ki mrtyu dar me kalpana karen. Unhe apne bhojan ke liye shram karna padta tha, kuch jaanvar unhe unhe maante the, aur aisi kathin chunaotiyaan thi jinhen dur kiya ja sakta tha jaise weh saath me salaah aur me prarthana karte the. Mai sochta tha hai ki un chunautiyon ke baare me raay dene ke baare me unki raay alag-alag thi. Haalaanki, Patan(Fall) ke maadhyam se, unhonne sikha tha ki ekta aur prem me abhinay karna aavashyak tha. Unhe Parmeshwar dwara sikhaaya aur prashikshit kiya gaya tha, unhe uddhaar ki yojna aur Ishu Masih ke susamaachaar ke siddhaanton ko sikhaaya gaya jo yojna ko sanchaalit karte hai. Kyunki weh samajhate the ki unka saansaarik uddeshy aur anant lakshye samaan tha, unhe ek saath prem aur dhaarmikata me shram sikhne me santushti aur safalta mili.
Jaise hi bachche unke liye paida hue, Adam aur Eve ne apne parivaar ko sikhaaya ki unhonne swargiye dut se kya sikha hai. Weh apne bachchon ko un siddhaanton ko samajhane aur unhe gale lagaane me madad karne par dhyaan kendrit kar rahe the jo unhe is jiwan me khush karenge, saath hi saath apni kshamata badhaane ke baad apne swargiye maata-pita ke paas lautne ke liye taeyaar the aur Parmeshwar ke liye unki aagyaakaarita saabit hui. Is prakriya me, Adam Eve ne apni alag-alag shaktiyon ki saraahna karna sikh liya aur apne mahatvapurn kaam me ek dusre ka samarthan kiya 2
Jaise-jaise saikadon varsh aur fir sahasraabdiyaan aae aur gae, purushon ki aur mahilaon ke prerit aur anyonyaashrit yogdaanon ki spashtata galat sochna aur galat phahamee ke saath badal gai. Adam ke Bagiche me aur ab, us adbhut shuruaat ke beech ke samay me, hamari aatma ko jitne ke apne prayaason me purushon aur mahilaon ko vibhaajit karne ke liye virodhi apne lakshy me kaafi saphal rahe hai. lLusifar jaanta hai ki agar vah ekta purushon aur mahilaaon ko nuksaan pahuncha sakta hai, agar vah hamen hamare divye mooly aur vaachan jimmedaariyon ke baare me bhramit kar sakta hai, to wah parivaaron ko nasht karne me saphal hoga, jo anant kaal ki aavashyak ikaiyaan hai.
Shaitaan tulna karta hai ki vah shreshth ya hi hone ki bhaavna paida karne ke upakaran ke rup me tulna karta hai, jo is satye ko chhipaata hai ki purushon aur mahilaon ke janmajaat antar Parmeshwar ke diye gae aur samaan rup se mulyavaan hai. Unhonne parivaar aur naagarik samaaj donon me mahilaon ke yogydaan ko kam karne ka prayaas kiya hai, jisse achche ke liye unke utthaan prabhaav me kami aai hai. Unka lakshy purushon aur mahilaon ke adviti yogydaano ke utsav ke bajaay ek shakti sangharsh ko badhaava dena raha hai jo ek dusre ke purak hain aur ekta me yogydaan karte hai.
Isliye, pichle kuch varshon me duniya bhar me, mahilaon aur purushon ke daiveey rup se anyonyaashrit aur abhi tak alag-alag yogdaan aur jimmedaariyon ki puri samajh gaayab ho gai hai. Kai samaajon me mahilaen agal-bagal ke sahayogiyon ke bajaay purushon ke adheen ho gaeen, unki gatividhiyaan ek sankeern daayare tak seemit ho gaeen. Aadhyaatmik pragti un kaale samay ke dauraan ek karavat ko dheema kar deti hai; vaastav me, thoda aadhyaatmik prakaash prabhutv ki paramparaon me doobi man aur dil ko bhed sakta hai.
Aur tab bahaal susamaachaar ka prakaash “sureye ki chamak ke upar”3 hua jab Parmeshwar Pita aur unke putr, Ishu Masih, 1820 ke vasant me ladke Joseph Smith ko New York ke upar vaale hol me sthit woodland me dikhai diye. Us ghatna se swarg se revelaishan ki ek aadhunik shuruaat hui. Masih ke mool Girjaghar ko bahaal karne vaale pahale tatvon me se ek Parmeshwar ki purohiti ka adhikaar tha. Jaise-jaise Punahsthaapna jaari rahi, purushon aur mahilaon ko saajheedaar ke rup me kaam kaane ke mahatv aur kshamata ka ehasaas hone laga, Unke dwara is pavitr shram me adhikrt aur nirdeshit kiya gaya.
1842 me,jab anubhavaheen Girjaghar ki mahilaen kaam me madad ke liye ek aadhikaarik samooh banaana chahati thi, to Pradhaan Josepfh Smith ne unhen “purohitavaad ke tahat purohiti ke tahat sangathit karne ke liye prerit mehsoos kiya.”4 Usne kaha, “Main ab tumhare liye Parmeshwar ke naam ki chaabi ghumaata hoon; yah behtar dinon ki shuruaat hai.”5 Aur jab se vah kunji chaaloo hui, tab se mahilaon ke liye shaikshik, raajaneetik aur aarthik avasar dhire-dhire duniya bhar me phailne lage hai.6
Sahayak Sanstha naam ki mahilaon ke liye yah naya Girjaghar sangathan us samay ki any mahilaon ke samaajon ke viprit tha, kyunki yah ek bhavishyavakta dwara sthaapit kiya gaya tha, jisne Girjaghar ki sanrachna ke bheetar mahilaon ke adhikaar, pavitr jimmedaariyon aur aadhikaarik padon ko dene ke liye purohiti adhikaar ke saath kaam kiya, iske alaava nahin.7
Bhavishyevakta Joseph Smith ke din se hamare liye, sabhi cheejon ki chal rahi punahsthaapna ne purushon aur mahilaon donon ko unki divye jimmedaariyon ko pura karne me madad karne ke liye adhikaar aur shakti ki aavashyakta par gyaan praapt kiya hai. Haal hi me hamen sikhaaya gaya hai ki jo mahilaen ek purohiti ki chaabi rakhne ki disha me alag hoi hain, weh apne aahvaan me pruhiti adhikaari ke saath kaam karti hai.8
October 2019 me, Pradhaan Russell M. Nelson ne sikhaaya ki mandir me sampann honewali mahilaon ke jiwan me aur unke gharon me prurohiti shaktihoti hai kyunki weh un pavitr vaachaon ko rakhti hai jinhen unhonne Parmeshwar ke saath banaaya tha.9 Unhonne samjhaya ki “swarg keval un mahilaon ke liye khule hain jo Parmeshwaar ki shakti ke saath apni purohiti vaachan se bahati hain kyunki weh aise purushon ke liye hain jo purohiti sahan karte hain.” Aur wah har bahan “Uddhaarkarta ki shakti par udaarataapurvak aakarshit karne ke liye apne parivaar aur any logon ke tumse pyaar me madad karne ke liye protsaahit kiya.”10
To aapke aur mere liye iska kya matlab hai? Purohiti adhikaar aur shakti ko samajhne se hamara jiwan kaise badal jaata hai? Ek chaabi yah samajhane ki hai ki jab mahila aur purush ek saathkaam karte hain hum alag se kaam karne ki tulna me adhik mahaan sauda pura karte hai.11 Hamari bhumikaen pratispardhaatmak hone ke bajaay purak hai. Yadyapi mahilaon ko ek purohiti sanghtan me thaharaaya nahin jaata hai, jaisa ki pahale ullekh kiya gaya tha, mahilaon ko purohiti shakti ke saath aashirvaad diya jaata hai jaise ki apni vaachan rakhte hain, aur weh purohiti adhikaran ke saath kaam karte hain jab weh ek koling ke alaava niyukti kiya hain.
Ek pyaare August ke din, mujhe Pradhaan Russell M. Nelson ke saath Harmony, Pennysylvania ke Joseph aur Emma Smith ke punarnirmit ghar mein baithane ka saubhaagy mila, jaha is antim dinon me Aarpnic Purohiti ko bahaal kiya gaya tha. Hamari baatcheet mein, Pradhaan Nelson ne bahaalee mein mahilaon ki mahatvapoorn Punahsthaapna ke baare mein baat ki.
Pradhaan Nelson: “Sabse mahatvapurn pahaluon me se ek hai jo mujhe yaad dilaaya jaata hai ki jab mai is Purohiti ki Punahsthaapna ke liye aata hoon, to Punahsthaapna sait mahatvapurn bhumika hai jo mahilaon ne bahaali me nibhai thi.
“Jab Joseph ne pahali baar Mormon ki Pustak ka anuvaad karna shuru kiya, to lekhan kisne kiya tha? Theek hai, usne thoda kiya, lekin jyaada nahin. Emma ne andar kadam rakha.
“Aur phir mujhe laata hai ki Joseph New York ke Palmyra me apne ghar ke paas prarthana karne ke liye jangal me gaya tha. Woh kaha gae the? Woh Sacred Grove gaya tha. Woh waha kyun gae tha? Kyunki jab vah prarthana karna chahati thee, to maa waha gai thee.
“Weh kewal do mahilaon me se hain jinki purohiti ki punahsthaapna aur Girjaghar ki Punahsthaapna me mahatvapurn bhumikaen thi. Koi shak nahin, hum kah sakte hai ki hamari patniyaan aaj bhi utni hi mahatvapurn hain jitni tab thi. Beshak weh kar rahe hain.”
Emma aur Lucy aur Joseph ki tarah, hum sabse prabhaavi hote hai jab hum ek dusre se sikhne ke ichchhuk hote hain aur Ishu Masih ke chele banane aur us raaste par dusron ki madad karne ke apne lakshy me ekjut hote hai.
Hamen sikhaaya jaata hai ki “purohiti Parmeshwar ke bachchon ke jiwan ko asankhy tarikon se aashirvaad dete hain. [Girjaghar] me koling, mandir ke adhyaadesh, paarivaarik rishte, aur shaant, vyaktigat mantraalay, Antim-dinon Santo mahila aur purush purohiti shakti aur adhikaar ke saath aage badhte hain. Parmeshwaar ke Bhavishyevakta Joseph Smith ke maadhyam se Ishu Masih ki punarsthaapana ke maadhyam se unki shakti ke maadhyam se Unki ke kaarye ko pura karne mein purushon aur mahilaon ki anyonyaashritata kendriye hai.”12
Jis ishvariye kaarye ke liye hamen visheshaadhikaar praapt hai aur use karne ke liye bulaaya gaya hai, uske liye ekta aavashyak hai, lekin yah bas nahin hota hai. Ek dusre ki baat sunane-dusre ke drshtikon ko samajhane aur anubhavon ko saajha karne ke liye, vaastav me ek saath paraamarsh karne ka prayaas aur samay lagta hai—lekin is prakriya ke parinaamasvarup adhik prerit nirnay hote hai. Chaahe ghar par ho ya hamari Girjaghar ki jimmedaariyon me, hamari divye kshamata ko poora karane ka sabase prabhaavi tarika ek saath kaam karna hai, hamari alag-alag purak bhumikaon me Unki purohiti ki shakti aur adhikaar se dhanye hai.
Aaj us mahila ki zindagi me wah saajhedaari kaisi dikhti hai? Mujhe ek uddharan batlana hai.
Alison aur John ki saajhedaari thi jo advitiye thi. Unhonne choti aur lambi daud me do seeton aur do set paidal ke saath ek saikil ki savaari ki. Us daud me safaltapurvak pratispardha karne ke liye, donon savaaron me saamanjasy hona chahiye. Unhen sahi samay par ek hi disha me jhukna hota hai. Ek dusre par haavi(dominate) nahin ho sakta hai, lekin unhen spasht rup se sanvaad karna chahiye aur pratyek apne hisse ko karna chahiye. Kaptaan, saamane, jab brek karne ke liye aur kab khade hone par niyantran hota hai. Piche chal rahe stokar ko is baat par dhyaan dene ki jaroorat hai ki kya ho raha hai aur atirikt shakti dene ki liye taiyaar rahen, agar weh thoda piche rah jaate hain ya any saikil chaalakon ke bahut paas hone par unhen aasaani hoti hai. Unhen pragati karne aur apne lakshy ko praapt karne ke liye ek dusre ka samarthan karna chahiye.
Alison ne samjhaya: “Pahale thodi der ke liye, kaptaan ki sthiti vaala vyakti ‘Stand’ kahega jab hamen khade hone ki jaroorat thi aur jab ham paidal karna band karne ke liye ‘Brek’ lagaana chahate the. Thodi der baad, jo vyakti stokar tha, usne yah bataana sikh liya ki kaptaan kab khada hoga ya brek lagaana chahata tha, aur kisi bhi shabd ko kahane ki aavashyakata nahin thi. Ham ek-dusre ke saath kis tarah se sangharsh kar rahe the aur yah bata sakte hain ki [aur phir] dusre aisa atirikt kaam karana, jise koi dusra karne me asamarth ho ya karne ko taeyaar na ho. Yah vaastav me vishwaas aur ek saath kaam karne ke baare me hai.”13
John aur Alison na kewal ekjut the kyunki unhonne apni saikil ko pedal kiya tha, balki weh apni shaadi me bhi ekjut the. Pratyek apne ya apne svayan ke mukaabale doosare kee khushi chahata hai; pratyek ne ek-dusre me achche ki talaash ki aur apne ya apne-aap mein mahaan-mahaan ko dur karne ke liye kaam kiya. Jab ek saathi sangharsh kar raha tha, tab weh aage badhe aur aage badh gae. Pratyek ne dusre ke yogdaan ko mahatv diya aur unki chunautiyon ka behatar jawaab diya kyunki unhonne apni pratibha aur sansaadhanon ko sanyojit kiya. Weh vaastav Masiha pyaar ke maadhyam se ek dusre ke liye baadhye hai.
Ekta me ek saath kaam karne ke saath dhun me adhik “mujhe pahale” sandeshon ke is din me mahatvapurn hai io hamen gherate hain. Mahilaon ke paas vishisht, divy upahaar14 hain aur unhen advitiye jimmedaariyaan di jaati hai, lekin weh purushon ke uphaaron aur jimmedaariyon se adhik ya kam mahatvapurn nahin hai. Sabhi apane bachchon ki divye kshamata ko pura karne ka sabse achcha avsar dene ke liye Swarg ke Pita ki divye yojna ke baare me jaanne ke liye dizain aur aavashyak hai.
Aaj, “hamen un mahilaon ki zaroorat hai jo hamari Maa Eve ki himmat aur drshti”15 ko Masih me aatma laane ke liye apne bhaaiyon ke saath ekjut ho.16 Purushon ko yah maanane ki bajaay ki weh puri tarah se jimmedaar hain ya “dikhaawa” karne vaale saathi ke rup me kaarye karte hai, jabki mahilaon ko bahut kaam karna padta hai, sachche saathi banane ki aavashyakta hai. Mahilaon ko “aage badhne ke liye taeyaar rahne ki jaroorat hai [aur] [unke] sahi aur zarooratamand jagah”17 lene ke liye 17 ko saajhedaar ke rup me sochne ke bajaay unhen yah sab svayan karne ki aavashyakata hai ya pratiksha karen ki kya kiya jae.18
Mahilaon ko mahatvapurn pratibhaagiyon ke rup me dekhna samata banaane ke baare mei nahin hai, balki siddhaant satye ko samajhne ke baare me hai. Us baare me laane ke liye ek kaaryakram sthaapit karne ke bajaay, hum mahilaon ko Parmeshwaar ke rup me mahatv dene ke liye sakriye rup se kaam kar sakte hai: uddhaar aur utthaan ke kaam me aavashyak saajhedaar ke rup me.
Kya Hum Taeyaar Hai? Kya hum saanskrtik purvaagrah ko dur karne ki koshish karenge aur iske bajaay mulbhut siddhaanton par aadhaarit ishwariye petan aur prathaaon ko apanaenge? Pradhaan Russell M. Nelson ne hamen “is pavitr kaarye me haath chalane ke liye aamantrit kiya hai [ko] Prabhu ke dusre aagaman ke liye duniya ko taeyaar karne me madad karen.”19 Jaisa ki hum karte hain, hum pratyek vyakti ke yogadaanon ko mahatv dena aur us prabhaavashilta ko badhaana sikhenge jiske saath hum apni divye bhumikaon ko pura karte hai. Humne jitna anubhav kiya hai, usse kahi adhik aanand hum mrhsoos karenge.
Hum me se pratyek apne kaam ko aage badhaane me madad karne ke liye Prabhu ke prerit tarike se ekjut hone ka chayan kar sakta hai. Hamare Uddhaarkarta, Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
