Dekhne ke liye Ankhe
Pavitra Aatma ki shakti ke maadhyam se, Masih hamen khud ko dekhne aur dusaron ko dekhne me saksham karega jaisa ki Woh karta hai.
Parmeshwar ke Haath Dekhkar
Mujhe ek yuvak ke Purane Niyam ki kahani pasand hai jisne prophet Elisha ki seva ki. Ek subah yuvak jaag kar, baahar gaya, aur paya shahar ko chaaron or se nasht karne ke liye ek mahaan sena ke iraade se ghira paaya. Woh Elisha ke paas bhaaga: “Bolo, hamaar swami! Konchi kare ke hai?”
Elisha bolis, “Daro nahi: kyunki jitna hum logh ke sange hai uh long se zyaada hai jitna uh logh ke sange hai.”
Elisha ko pata tha ki yuvak ko aashvast karne se adhik zaroorat hai; use drshti ki zaroorat thee. Aur fir “Elisha praathana karis, … Prabhu, … uske aankhi kholo, ki uh dekhe paawe. Aur Prabhu uh jawaan admi ke aankh khol dees; aur uh dekhis: aur, dekhis, Elisha ke chaaro taraf la pahaad jalte aag ke ghodon aur rathon se bhara hai.” 1
Kai baar aisa bhi ho sakta hai ki aap, naukar ki tarah, khud ko yah dekhne ke liye sangharsh karte hue paaye yeh dekhne ke liye dekhen ki Parmeshwar aapke jeevan me kaise kaam kar raha hai—aise samay jab aap ghere me mehsoos karte hain—jab mrtyu dar ke parikshan aapko apne ghutanon par laate hain. Parmeshwar me aur Uske samay me pratiksha karen aur vishvaas karen, kyunki aap Uske dil par bharosa kar sakte hain. Lekin yahaan ek dusra sabak bhi hai. Meri priye bahanon aur bhaiyon, aap, bhi, Prabhu se prathana kar sakte hain ki apni aankhen kholakar un cheejon ko dekhen jinhen aap saamaany roop se nahin dekhenge.
Khud ko uss tarah Dekhe jaise Parmeshwar Aap ko Dekhta hai
Halanki sabse mahatpurna cheez humare liye yeh saaf tor se dekhna hai ki Parmeshwar kaun hai aur hum vaastav me kaun hain—divye prakrti aur anant bhaagy ke saath svargiye maata-pita ke bete aur betiyaan.” 2 Parmeshwar se in sachchaiyon ko prakat karne ke liye puche, saath hi Woh aapke baare me kaisa mehoos karte hai. Jitna adhik aap apni vaastavik pahachaan aur uddeshy, aatma ko gaharai, se samajhate hain, utna hi yah aapke jeevan ki har cheej ko prabhaavit karega.
Dusro ko Dekhkar
Yah samajhtna ki Parmeshwar hamen kaise dekhta hai, ki hamen dusron ki madad karne ka tarika taeyaar karta hai jaisa Woh karta hai. Columnist David Brooks ne kaha: “Hamare samaaj ki kai badee samasyaen hai logon ko dekhi aur jaanee-pahechanee nahi hain. … [Ek mool] hai … visheshata hai ki ham sabhi ko behatar … hona hai[, aur vah] hai ek dusre ko gaharai se dekhne aur khud kogaharai se dekhane ka gun.” 3
Ishu Masih logon ko gaharai se dekhte hain. Woh vyaktiyon, unki aavashyakataon aur weh kaun ban sakte hain, dekhate hain. Jahaan anye logon ne machuaaron, paapiyon ya saarvajanik logon ko dekha, Ishu ne shishyon ko dekha; jahaan anye logon ne shaitaanon ke paas ek aadmi ko dekha, Ishu ne baahari sankat ko dekha, use svikaar kiya aur use changa kiya. 4
Apne vyast jeevan me bhi, ham Ishu ke udaaharan ka anusaran kar sakte hain aur vyaktiyon ko dekh sakte hain—-unki aavashyakataen, unka vishvaas, unka sangharsh aur weh kaun ban sakte hain. 5
Jaisa ki main Prabhu se prathana karti hoon ki main un cheejon ko dekhane ke liye apani aankhen kholoon jinhen main aamtaur par nahin dekh sakti, main aksar khud se do savaal puchti hoon aur aane vaale prabhaao par dhyaan deti hoon: “Main kya kar raha hoon ki mujhe kya karana chaahie?” aur “Main kya nahin kar raha hoon jo mujhe karana shuroo kar dena chaahie?” 6
Mahine pahale, sacrament ke dauraan, mainne khud se ye savaal pucha aur jo prabhaao aaee, usase main hairaan thi. “Jab aap kataar me intazaar kar rahe ho to apne phone ko dekhna band kar den.” Lainon mein mera phone dekhana lagabhag svachaalit ho gaya tha; mujhe multitask, email ko dekhe, surkhiyon mein dekhane ya sociall media pheed ke maadhyam se skrol karane ka achchha samay mila.
Agle subah, mainne khud ko dukaan me ek lambi kataar me pratiksha karte paaya. Mainne apna phone nikala aur fir mujhe jo prabhaao hua use yaad kiya. Mainne apna phone waapas rakha aur aaspaas dekha. Mainne apne saamane ek bujurg sajjan ko dekha. Billee ke bhojan ke kuch dibbe ko chodkar unki gaadi khaali thi. Mujhe thoda ajeeb laga, lekin kaha ki vaastav me bahut chaalaak hai, “main dekh sakti hoon ki apke paas ek billee hai.” Unhonne kaha ki ek toofaan aa raha tha, aur wah billee ke bhojan ke bina paya nahin jaana chahata tha. Hamne kuch samay ke lie daura kiya, aur phir woh meri or modh kar kaha, “Aap jaante hain, mainne yah kisi ko nahin bataaya, ki aaj mera janamdin hai.” Mera dil pighal gaya. Mainne unhen janmadin ki shubhakaamanaen deen aur dhanyavaad ki ek shaant prathana kiya ki main apne phone par nahin thi aur kisi anye vyakti ke saath mek karne ka mauka mila jise iski aavashyakata thi.
Apne pure dil se main Jericho ke liye sadak par priest ya Levite ki tarah nahin rahana chahati—jo dikhata hai aur gujarta hai. 7 Lekin bahut baar mujhe lagta hai ki main hoon.
Mere liye Parmeshwar ki Kaam Dekhna
Mainne haal hi me Rozlyn naam ka ek jawan mahila se gaharai se dekhane ke baare me ek moolyavaan sabak sikha.
Yah kahani mere dost ne mujhe bataya tha, jo tab tabaah ho gaya tha jab 20 saal ka uska pati chala gaya tha. Apne bachchon ke saath maata-pita ke beech alag-alag ke samay hone se, akele girjaghar me bhaag lene ki sambhaavana kathin lag rahi thi. Usne charcha ki:
Ek girjaghar me jahaan parivaar ka sabse adhik mahatv hota hai, akela baithana dardnaak ho sakta hai. Us pahale Ravivaar ko main prathana karte huye gai ki koi mujhse baat nahin kare. Main mushkil se ise ek saath pakad rahi thi, aur aansoo kagaar(brink) par the. Main apne vishisht sthaan par baith gaye, ummeed karti thi ki koi bhi pahechan nahin karega ki bench kitni khaali lag rahi thi.
“Ek jawaan mahila humare ward ke mudkar mujhe dekha. Mainne muskuraane ka naatak kiya. Woh musakarai. Main uske chehare par chinta dekh sakti thi. Mainne chupchaap nivedan kiya ki vah mujhse baat karne nahin aaegi—mere paas kahne ke liye kuch bhi sakaaraatmak nahin tha aur mujhe pata tha ki main roongi. Mainne vaapas apni godh me dekha aur aankh se sampark se bacha.
“Agale ek ghante ke dauraan, mainne use kabhi-kabhaar meri taraf dekhte hue dekha. Jaise hi baithak samaapt hui, usne sidhe mere paas aaye. ‘Hay, Rozlyn,’ Main fusfusayi. Usne mujhe apni baaho me lapet liya aur boli, ‘Bahan Smith, main bata sakti hoon ki aaj ka din aapke liye bura hai. Mujhe khed hai. Hum tumhse prem karti hoon.’ Jaisa ki bhavishyavaanee ki gai thi, aansoo aa gae kyunki usne mujhe fir se gale lagaaya. Lekin jab main chali gaye, to mainne mann me socha, ‘Shaayad main yah sab kar sakti hoon.’
“Woh pyaari 16-varsh ki jawaan mahila, jo meri umr se aadhi se bhi kam hai, ne mujhe us varsh ke har Ravivaar ko mujhe gale lag kar pucha, ‘Aap kaise hain?’ Isse mujhe girjaghar me aane ke baare me mehsoos karne me phark pada. Sach to yah hai ki mainne un gale lagaane par bharosa karna shuru kar diya hai. Kisi ne mujhe dekha. Kisi ko pata tha ki main waha hoon. Kisi ne paravaah ki.”
Jaisa ki sabhi upahaaron ke saath Pita itni svechchha se pradaan karte hain, gaharai se dekhne ke liye hamen Unse puchna—chaahie aur fir karna. karna chaahie.Dusro se waisa hi dekhne ko kahen jaisa woh karta hai—Uske sachche bete aur betiyaan anant aur divye sambhaavi ke saath. Fir pyaar seva karen aur unke kimat ki pushti aur sambhaavi ke anusaar kaarye karen Jaise hi yah hamare jeevan ka pattern ban jaata hai, ham apne aap ko “sachche anuyaayee paayenge … Ishu Masihi ki.” 8 Dusre hamare dilon par bharosa kar sakenge. Aur is pattern me ham apni vaastavik pahachaan aur uddeshy ki khoj bhi karenge.
Mere dost ne usi khaali pyaoo me baithate hue ek aur anubhav yaad kiya, akele me soch rahi thi ki kya uske ghar me susamaachaar ko jeene ke lie 20 saal ki koshish sab bekar thi. Use aashvast karne se adhik zaroorat hai; use drshti ki zaroorat thi. Usne mehsoos kiya ki ek savaal uske dil ko chubh gaya: “Tumane un cheejon ko kyu kiya? Kya apne unhen inaam, dusron ki prashansa, ya vaanchhit parinaam ke liye kiya tha?” Woh ek pal ke liye sankoch hua, uska dil khoja, aur fir aatmavishvaas se javaab dene me saksham thi, “mainne unhen kiya kyunki main Rakshak se pyaar karti hoon. Aur mujhe Unka susamaachaar pasand hai.” Prabhu ne uski madad ke liye unki aankhen kholeen. Drshti ke is saral lekin shaktishaali parivartan ne uski paristhitiyon ke baavajood, Masih me vishvaas ke saath use jaaree rakhane me madad ki.
Main gawahi deti hoon ki Ishu Masih hamse pyaar karte hai aur hamen yah dekhne ke liye aankhen de sakte hai—bhale yahan tak ki mushkil hai , bhale ham thak gae ho, bhale tab bhi jab ham akele ho, aur bhale jab parinaam ummeed ke mutaabik na ho. Unki krpa se, Woh hamen aashirvaad dega aur hamari kshamata badhaega. Pavitra Aatma ki shakti ke maadhyam se, Masih hamen khud ko dekhneaur dusaron ko dekhne mein saksham karega jaisa ki Woh karta hai. Uski madad se, ham samajh sakte hain ki sabse zaroori kya hai. Ham apne jeevan ke saamaany vivaranon ke maadhyam se Prabhu ke kaarye ko dekhna shuru kar sakte hain-ham gaharai se dekhenge.
Aur phir, us mahaan din me “jab vah prakat hoga tab ham uske samaan honge, kyunki ham usse usi roop me dekhenge jaisa woh hai; hamen yah aasha ho sakti hai ki” 9 ishu Masih ke naam par meri prathana hai, amen.
