Main Mandir Dekhna pasand karta hoon
Yeh mandir mein hai ki hum pyaar parivaar konekshan hai ki maut ke baad jari rahega aur anant kaal ke liye pichale ka ashvasan prapt kar sakte hain.
Mere pyaare bhaaiyo aur bahanon, Main aap sab ke saath is maha sammelan ki pahela sabha ki aosar par hone ke liye abhaaree hoon. Bhashan denewala, sangeet, aur prathana Aatma laya hai- saath hi prakash aur asha ki bhavna.
Yeh meri yaddash lai hai jab pehle din main Salt Lake Mandir mein chala gaya. Main ek jawan purush tha. Us din sirf mere mata-pita mere saath the. Andar mein, weh ek pal ke liye rukh kar ek mandir ki karyakarta dwara swagat kiya jaaega. Main unke aage chala gaya, ek pal ke liye akele.
Main ek sundar safed mandir poshak mein ek chote se safed balon wali mahila dwara swagat kiya gaya tha. Usne mujhe dekha, muskuraaya, aur fir bahut dhire se kaha, “Mandir mein aapka swagat hai, Bhaai Eyring.” Main ek pal ke liye socha tha ki woh ek devdut tha kyunki woh mera naam janta tha. Mujhe ehsas nahin hua tha ki us par mere naam ke saath ek chota sa card mere suit coat ki anchal par rakha gaya tha.
Main use pichale kadam rakha aur band kar diya. Main ek ucch safed chat par dekha jo kamre ko itna prakash diya aisa lag raha tha jaise ki yeh aakash ke liye khule the. Aur us pal mein, socha tha ki in spasht shabdon mein mere mann mein aaya: “main is roshan jagah mein pahele raha.” Lekin fir turant mere dimaag mein aaya, meri apni aawaz mein nahin, in shabdon: “Nahin, tum yahan pahale kabhi ntha. Paida hone se pehle aap ek pal yaad kar rahe hain. Aap is tarah ek pavitra sthaan par the.”
Hamare mandiron ke baahar mein, hum shabdon rakhte hai “Prabhu ki Pavitrata.” Main apne liye janta hoon ki weh shabd such hain. Mandir ek pavitra sthaan hai jahan praktikaran hamare liye asani se aata hai agar hamare dil iske liye khule hai aur hum iske yogya hain.
Baad mein us pahele din main fir se wahi Aatma ko mehsoos kiya. Mandir samaroh mein kuch shabd shaamil hain jo mere dil mein jalane ki bhavna le aaye, is baat ki pushti karte hue ki jo chitrit kiya ja raha tha woh sach tha aur mere bhavishye ke baare mein mere liye vyaktigat tha. Jo maine mehsoos kiya vastavikta ban gaya 40 saal baad ek call ke madhyam se Prabhu ki sewa karne ke liye.
Main wahi bhavna ka anubhav ki mehsoos kiya jab main Logan Utah Mandir mein shaadi ki thi. Pradhaan Spencer W. Kimball ne sealing kiya. Kuch shabdon mein, unhonne yeh salah di, “Hal aur Kathy, vishesh tarike se rahte hain taki jab call aata hai, to aap asani se chal sakte hain.”
Jaise ki woh un kuch shabdon se kaha, main apne mann mein spasht roop se dekha, pure rang mein, ek khadi pahadi aur ek sadak shirsh le jaate hue. Ek safed fens sadak ke baee or dauda aur pahadi ke shirsh par pedon ki ek pankit mein gayab ho gaya. Pedon ke madhyam se ek safed ghar mushkil se dikhai de raha tha.
Ek saal baad, maine us pahad ko pahechana jab mera sasur us sadak par gadi chalaya karta tha. Yeh suchna tha jo maine kya dekha jab Pradhaan Kimball ne mandir mein apni salah di.
Jab hum pahad ki uch par gaye, to mere sasur ne safed ghar par rukh gaya. Usne hamen bataya ki woh aur uski patni sanpatti kharid rahe the aur woh chahate hain ki unki beti aur main guesthouse mein rahe. Weh mukhya ghar mein rehenge. Toh, 10 varshon ke dauran hum us sundar parivar kee sthapna mein rehte the, meri patni aur main lagbhag har din kahenge, “Hum behtar is anand tha, kyunki hum yahaan lambe samay tak nahin rahenge.”
Church Commisioner of Education , Neal A. Maxwell se ek kol aaya. Pradhaan Kimball dwara di gai chetaavani ki “dur asani se chalane ke liye” ek hakikat ban gaya. Yeh ek kol karne ke liye chhod diya jo ek sukhad jeevan kee vyaktigat sthiti lag raha tha ek jagah hai ki main uske baare mein kuch nahin jaanta tha ki main ek kaam mein sewa ki thi. Hamara parivaar us dhanya samay aur sthaan ko chhodne ke liye taeyaar tha kyunki ek profat, ek pavitra mandir mein, praktikaran ka ek sthaan, ek bhavishy kee ghatna ko dekha hai jiske liye hum taeyaar the.
Main jaanta hoon ki Prabhu ki mandiro pavitra sthaan hain. Mandiron ki baat karne mein aaj mera uddeshye hai aapki ichcha ko badhana hai aur mere yogya hona aur hamare liye aane wale mandir ki anubhavon ke liye badhe hue avsaron ke liye taeyaar hona hai.
Mere liye, mandir ki anubhavon ki yogya hone ke liye sabse badi prerna woh hai jo Prabhu ne Aapne pavitra gharon ke baare mein kaha hai:
“Usne kaha ki yadi uske log Prabhu ke naam par uske liye ek ghar banate hain, aur usmein aane ke liye koi ashuddh cheeze nahin jhelte hain, ki ise ashuddh nahin kiya jaega, to uski mahima us par aram karegi;
“Haan, aur meri upasthiti hogi, kyunki main ismen aunga, aur dil mein jo shuddh hoga woh Parmeshwar ko dekhega.
“Lekin ise ashuddh kar diya jaaye to main usmen nahin aunga, aur meri mahima nahin hogi; kyunki main apavitr mandiron mein nahin aunga.”1
Pradhaan Russell M. Nelson ne hamare liye spasht kar diya ki hum mandir mein Rakshak ko is arth mein “dekh” sakte hain ki Woh ab hamare liye anjaan nahin hai. Pradhaan Nelson ne yeh kaha: “Hum Usse samajhte hai. Hum Uske kaarye aur Uski mahima ko sgrahan karte hain. Aur hum Uske bemel jeevan ki anant prabhav ko mehsoos karne lagte hain.”2
Yadi aapko ya mujhe mandir mein aparyapt rup se shuddh jana chahiye, hum Pavitra Aatma ki shakti, mandir mein prapt Rakshak ke baare mein aadhyatmik shiksha ko dekhne mein saksham nahin honge.
Jab hum is tarah ki shikshan prapt karne ki yogye hain, to hamare mandir ki anubhav ki madhyam se hamare jeevan bhar aasha, khushi aur ashavad ka anubhav ho sakta hai. Yeh aasha, khushi aur ashavad kewal pavitra mandiron mein kiye gaye adhyadeshon ki madhyam se uplabdh hain. Yeh mandir mein hai ki hum pyaar parivaar konekshan hai ki maut ke baad jari rahega aur anant kaal ke liye pichale ka ashvasan prapt kar sakte hain.
Saal pahele, jab main ek bishop ke roop men sewa kar raha tha, ek jawan purush mere nimantran ka virodh karne ke liye hamesha ke liye parivaron mein Parmeshwar ke saath rahne ke yogye ho jaate hain. Usne mujhe apne doston ke saath achche samay bitane ke baare mein bataya. Main unhen baat karne deta hoon. Fir usne mujhe apni ek party ki dauran ek pal ke baare mein bataya, shor(noise) ke beach mein, jab use achanak ehsas hua ki woh akela mehsos karta hai. Mainne unse pucha ki kya hua tha. Unhone kaha ki unhen ek samay chote ladke ke roop men yaad aa gaya tha, apni maa ki godh mein baitha tha, uske charon or apni baahon ke saath. Us pal ke liye jab usne us kahani ko bataya, unko ansu aaya. Mainne usse kaha ki main jo jaanta hoon sach hai: “Ek hi rasta hai ki aap us parivar ko hamesha ke liye gale lagaane ki bhavna ho sakti hai apne aap ko yogyae ho jaate hai aur dusron ki madad karne ke liye mandir ki sealing adhyadesh prapt hai.”
Hum aatma ki duniya mein parivaar ki konekshan ka vivran nahin jaante hain ya hamare punarjivit hone ke baad kya aa sakta hai. Lekin hum jante hain ki profat Elijah ke roop mein wah mat a-pita ke mann ko unke putro ki aur putro ki mann ko unke mata-pita ki or ki dilon ki baari ka vada kiya aaya tha.3 Aur hum jaante hain ki hamari anant khushi hamari puri koshish karne par nirbhar karti hai ki hum apne kai atmiya ke roop men samaan sthayi khushi pradan karen.
Main ek hi parivaar ki sadasyon ko amantrit karne ke liye prapt karne ke liye yogya banane ke liye aur mandir ki sealing adhyadeshon ka sanman karne ki ichcha mein safal hone ki ichcha mehsoos karta hoon. Yeh ghunghat ki donon or pichale dinon gathering of Israel kee vada kiya sabha ka hissa hai.
Hamare sabse bade avsaron mein se ek hai jab hamare parivaar ki sadasyon ko chote hain. Weh ek uphar ke roop men Masih ki Roshni ke saath paida hote hain. Yeh unhen samajhne mein saksham banata hai ki kya achcha hai aur burai kya hai. Is karan se, kisi mandir ya mandir kee tasveer dekhkar unmen kheti kar sakte hain, jo kisi din visheshadhikar prapt hone ki ichcha rakate hain.
Wah din fir a sakta hai jab, ek yuva ke roop mein, unhen mandir mein proxy baptisma dene ki salah milti hai. Us anubhav mein unki bhavna badh sakti hai ki mandir kee adhyadesh hamesha Rakshak aur Uske Praeshchit ki or ishara karte hain. Jaisa ki unhen lagta hai ki weigh aatma ki duniya mein ek vyakti ko paap se shuddh hone ka mauka de rahe hain, unki bhavna hamare Swarg Pita kee ek bachche ko ashirvad dene ke apne pavitra kaarya mein Rakshak kee madad karne ki vriddhi hogi.
Mainne dekha hai ki anubhav ki shakti ek yuva vyakti ki jiwan ko badal deta hai. Salon pahale main ek beti ke saath dopahar mein ek mandir mein gaya tha. Woh baptisma mein proxy ke roop men sewa karne ke liye aakhri tha. Meri beti se pucha gaya ki kya woh un sabhi logon ke liye adhyadeshon ko pura karne ke liye lambe samay tak rah sakti hai jinke naam taeyaar kiye gaye the. Usne kaha ji haan.
Main apni beti ko dekha jaise ki woh baptisma font mein kadam rakha. Baptisma shuru hua. Meri choti beti paani uske chehare ke niche streaming har baar vah paani se bahar utha liya gaya tha. Usse baar-baar pucha gaya, “Kya aap aur kuch kar sakte hain?” Har baar usne kaha haan.
Ek chintit pita ki roop mein, mujhe aasha hai ki woh aur adhik karne se maaf kiya ja sakta hai. Lekin main abhi bhi uski dridhta yaad hai jab woh agar woh aur adhik kar sakta hai aur woh ek nirdharit choti aavaj mein kaha, “Haan.” Woh us din suchi mein antim vyakti tak rahe Ishu Masih ke naam par baptisma ka ashirvaad prapt kiya tha.
Jab main us raat uske saath mandir se bahar chala gaya, main kya mainne dekha tha par socha. Ek bachche ko utha liya gaya tha aur uske ghar mein Prabhu ki sewa karke meri ankhon ke saamne badal diya gaya tha. Main abhi bhi roshni aur shanti ki bhavna yaad ke roop men hum mandir se ek saath chala gaya.
Saalon beet gaye. Woh abhi bhi Prabhu se sawal karne ke liye haan kah rahi hai agar wah uske liye aur adhik karna hoga jab yeh bahut mushkil hai. Yahi mandir ki sewa hamen badalne aur uthhaane ke liye kar sakte hain. Yahi karan hai ki aapke liye aur aapke sabhi priye parivaar ke liye meri aasha yeh hai ki aap Prabhu ke ghar mein jaane ki yogye hone ki ichcha aur dridh sankalp mein vriddhi karenge kyunki aapki paristhitiyan jitni baar anumati deti hain.
Woh waha aapka swagat karna chahate hain. Main prathana karta hoon ki aap Swarg Pita ke bachchon ke dilon mein ichcha ka nirman karne ki koshish karenge, jahan weh Uske karib mehsoos kar sakte hain, aur aap apne purvajon ko bhi Uske saath aur hamesha ke liye aapke saath rahane ke liye amantrit karenge.
Yeh shabd hamare ho sakte hain:
Main mandir dekhna pasand karta hoon.
Main waha kisi din jaunga
Pavitra Aatma ko mehsoos karne ke liye,
Sunna aur prathana karna.
Mandir Parmeshwar ka ghar hai.
Ek sthaan jahan pyaar aur sundarta hai.
Main jawaani mein taeyaari karunga;
Yeh mera pavitra kartavye hai.4
Main is baat ki gambhir gawahi deta hoon ki hum ek pyaare Swarg Pita ki bachche hai. Unhone apne Priya Putra, Ishu Masih, ko hamare Rakshak aur Muktidata banane ke liye chuna. Unke saath aur hamare parivaar ke saath rahane ke liye lautne ka ekmatra tarika pavitra mandir ki adhyadeshon ki madhyam se hai. Main gawahi deta hoon ki Pradhaan Russell M. Nelson purohiti ki sabhi chabiyan dharan karte hain aur abhyas karte hain jo Parmeshwar ke sabhi bachchon ke liye anant jeevan ko sambhav banate hain. Main yah gawahi Ishu Masih ke pavitra naam se deta hoon, amen.
