Jaise Duniya Nahi Deta
Lekin jin saadhno ke liye humen ek ujjval din banaane aur samaaj mein vaastavik achchhaee kee arthavyavastha ko viksit karne kee aavashyakta hai, ve Ishu Masih ke susamaachaar mein prachurta se pradaan kiye jaate hain.
Isse pahale ki Easter, ke rup mein Ishu ne baarahave ko diye gae nae prabhubhoj ke dharamvidhi ka samaapan kiya, usne apna raajsee pravachan shuru kiya aur Gethsemane, vishvaasghaat, aur krus ki or badha. Halaaki, is chinta ko mehasoos karte hue aur shaayad un logo mein se kuchh logo ko darr bhee lag raha tha, Usne yah unse kaha (aur humse bhi
“Apne dil ko pareshaan mat karo: tum bhagvaan mein vishvaas karte ho, mujh par bhi vishvas karo. …
“Main tumhe bina sahanubhuti ke na chodunga: Main tumhare paas aata hoon. …
“Shanti mai tumhare paas chode jaata hu, mera shaanti main tumhe deta hu: jaise duniya nahi deta, mein tumhe deta hu. Tumhara mann vyakul na ho, aur na dare.”1
Chunauti ka samay is nashvar duniya mein aata hai, saath mein wafaadar, lekin Masih ke sandesh yah hai, pascal lamb, kuch is prakaar se jaata hai “ek bheda jo [apne] baal kaatne waala ke samne hai”2Woh toh bhi utthega, jaise psalmist ne kaha hai, “hummara sharan aur shakti, musibat [ke samay] mein abhi [humein] madat kartha hai.”3
Yah mahasoos karte hue ki Masih ko paar karne ke liye aur apne shishyon ke liye vah kitna kathin samay le sakta hai kyonki ve samay ke madhyaan kaal mein duniya ke liye apne susamaachaar ko le jaenge, mere saath ab uttraardh mein Uddhaarkarta Girjaghar ke sadasyon ke liye ek sambandhit sandesh ankhri dino mein. Woh ek prakaar ka sangharsh hai jiske liye samarpit Book of Mormon mein bhakto kee sankhya mein hai, jismen Laman aur Lemuel ke saikdon sainiko se jude antim ladaee tak ke pareshaani wala vyavahaar hain. Is par zor dene ka spasht kaaranon mein se ek yah hai ki Book of Mormon ko antim dino ke darshakon ke liye likha gaya tha, ye lekhak (jon apne ketna yuddh anubhao karis raha) bhavishye ke baare mein hame chetaavni dewe hai ki hinsa aur sangharsh antim dino mein rishton ki ek mahatvapoorn hissa hogee.
Beshak, mera vichaar antim-dino ke vivaad par maine hi nahi shuru kiya. Lagbhag 2,000 saal pahele, Uddhaarkarta ne humme in aakhri dino ke liye chetaavni di hai ki, “yudh, aur yudh ke aphwaae,”4baad mein bolis ki “shaanti duniya se hat jae[ga].”5 Sach me Shaanti ke Raajkumaar, jinhone zordaar se sikhaaya ki vivaad shaitaan ka hai,6ko Apne Divye Pita ke saath maanav parivaar mein un logon par rona chaahiye jo “sneh ke bina” hain aur yah pataa nahin laga sakte hai ki pyaar mein ek saath kaise rahana hai.7
Bhaiyon aur baheno, hum bahot zyada sangharsh, vivaad, aur hamaare aas-paas kee saamaanye asangati dekhte hai. Saubhaagye se, vartamaan peedhee ke paas ladne ke liye Teesra Vishwa Yudh nahin hai, aur na hee humne 1929 mein vaishvik aarthik durghatna ka anubhav kiya hai, jiske natija raha ek Great Depression. Lekin hum kisi alag prakaar ka Teesra Vishwa Yudh ka anubhav kar rahe hai, hum log ke dushmano ko maarne ke liye ladaai nahilekin bhagvaan ke bachcho ko ek doosre ke baare mein adhik dekhbhaal karane aur hamaare aaspaas kee duniya ke ghau ko theek karne mein madad karne ke liye ek abhishek. Great Depression ka saamna ab hum kar rahe hai wah kam bahaari ke haani hai aur bheetar ka khud pe bharosa zyada, humaare vishvaas, aasha aur daan ke vaastavik ghaate ke saath aas paas mein. Lekin jin saadhno ke liye humen ek ujjval din banaane aur samaaj mein vaastavik achchhaee kee arthavyavastha ko viksit karne kee aavashyakta hai, ve Ishu Masih ke susamaachaar mein prachurta se pradaan kiye jaate hain. Hum ye nahin kar sakte—woh duniyanahi sahen kar sakti—humaaree asaphalta in susamachaar ke aadharshon aur mazboot karne waale vachano ko puri tarah kaam me laane me niji aur saarvajanik rup se.
Isliye, ek aisee duniya mein, jahan “halkoro me fek diya gaya, aur dilaasa nahin diya gaya,” jaisa ki Jehovah ne kaha tha hoga, hum use kaise paa sakte hai jise Usne “shaanti … ka vachan” kaha hain? Hum use paate hain jisne kaha tha ki Woh “humesha kee krpa ke saath” hum par daya karega aur mahaan humaare [bachchon] kee shaanti hogee.8 Isiliye, sukhad bhavishyevaaniyon aur anishchit shaastron ke baavjood, yah ghoshna karte hue ki shaanti aamtaur par prithvi se lee jaegee, humaare apne pyaare Russell M. Nelson sahit, bhavishyevaktaon ne sikhaaya hai ki yeh humse vyaktigat roop se liya jaana zaroori nahi!9 Is Easter aao hum shaanti ki aadat daale ek niji rup se, Prabhu Ishu Masih ke Praeshchit kee kripa aur upchaar ke malham ko laga ke khud ko aur apne aas paas ke logon ko. Bhagye se, ascharyejanak roop se, yah sukhdaayak malham humen “bina paise aur bina koi daam ke” uplabdh karaaya gaya hai.10
Inki avashakta hai kyonki virtual congregation mein aaj bahut log har ek tarah ka kathnaiya aur chunautiyo ka saamna karte hai—shaaririk yah bhaavnao mein, samajik yah financial, yah ek darjan anye prakar ke mushkile. Lekin hum log is me se dher se utna majboot nahiki unse khud apne aap sambodhit kar sake, kyunki humen jis madat aur shaanti kee aavashyakta hai vah us tarah nahin hai “jaise duniya deta.”11 Nahi, kathin samasyaaon ke liye hame zaroori hai woh jise shaastron ne “swarg kee shaktiyaan”11kaha hai,” aur in shaktiyon ka upyog karne ke liye humen un dharmgranthon ko jeena chaahiye jinhen “dharm ke siddhaant” kahate hain.12 Yah samajhna ki siddhaant aur shakti ke beech ka sambandh ekaisa sabak hai jise maanav parivaar kabhee bhee seekhne mein saksham nahin hota hai, yeh kahate hai swarg aur dharti ka Parmeshwar!14
Aur kya hai woh siddhaant? Khaer, unhe humaaree shaastron mein baar-baar likha gaya hai, use is tarah sammelano mein padhaya jaata hai, aur abhi ke dino mein, Prophet Joseph Smith ne unhein rone ke apnesanskaran “Mere Bhagvaan, Mere Bhagvaan, too mujhe kyon chhod diya?” ke javaab mein sikhaaya gaya tha.14 Thand mein, laparvahi se Liberty Jail me band rehna, unhe sikhaaya gaya tha ki dhaarmikta ke siddhaanton mein dhairye, lambe samay tak peeda, saumyata aur prem ke roop mein aise gun shaamil hain.15 Sidhhanto se door, yah nishchit tha ki hum kalah aur dushmanee ka saamna karenge.
Ussi samband mein, kya main khulkar keh sakta hu gayermaujoodgihumaare samay mein dhaarmikata ke in siddhaanton ke kuchh bhaago mei. Niyam ke mutaabik, mein uthsaahit karta hu, hasmukh mijaj ka insaan, aur bahut kuch jo accha hai aur khoobsurat hai is duniya mein. Humare paas cheezo ke ashirvaad hai jo aur kisi bhi peedhi ki itihas mein nahi hai, lekin 21st -century mein Girjaghar mein aam taur par aur aksar sanskrti, hum abhee bhee aise jeevan dekhte hain jo bahut pareshaanee mein hain, kaee tootee huee covenents aur bahut saare toote hue dilon ke parinaamasvaroop. Vichaar kare us basha pe jo sexual transgression(yaon sambandhi paap) se juda hai, dono hee movie ya television par hamesha dikhaata hain, ya sexual harassment(yaun utpeedan) aur any prakaar ke ashleelta jiske baare me humne kaam karne la jagah pe itna zyaada padhe hai. Covenent shudhata ke mamalo mein, pavitra ko bhee aksar aam bana diya jaata hai aur pavitra ko bhee aksar apavitr bana diya jaata hai. Kisi bhee insaan ko jo “jaise duniya deta” waise chalne ya baat karne ya vyavahaar karne me bahekta hai, isiliye bolne ke liye, ummeed mat karo shaantipoorn anubhav ka; main aapko Prabhu ke naam se vaada karta hoon ki yah nahin hua. “Dushtta kabhee khushee nahin thee,”17ek praacheen prophet ne ek baar kaha tha. Jab nritya khatm hota hai, piper ko pay kiya jaata hai, aur sabse adhik baar chukaai asoo aur paschataap hota hai.18
Ya shaayad hum durvyavahaar ya akarmanyata ke anye roopo ko dekhte hain. Prabhu Ishu Masih ke shishyon ke roop mein humen kitna saavdhaan rahana chaahiye, is tarah ke kisee bhee vyavahaar mein bhaag nahin lena chaahiye. Kisi bhee maamle mein hum kisi bhee prakaar ke durvyavahaar ya adharmee prabhutv ya anaitik jabaradastee ke doshee nahin hain—na ki shaareerik ya bhaavanaatmak ya sankee ya kisi anye prakaar ke. Mujhe yaad hai kuch saal pehle Pradhaan Gordon B. Hinckley ke jazbaat ko mehsoos karna jab unhonne Girjaghar ke purshon se baat kee thee junke baare me jise uske “apne gharon mein atyaachaaree” kaha tha:19
“Kitna dukhad aur pooree tarah se ghrnit ghatna hai patnee ka durupyog karna,” unhone kaha. “Koee bhee is Girjaghar ka purush jo apni patni ko maarta hai , jo unka apmaan karta hai, jo unke oopar adharmee adhikaar rakhta hai woh priesthood ko dhaaran karne ke liye ayogye hai. … [Woh] mandir kee sifaarish rakhne ke liye ayogye hai.”20 Samaan roop se, unhonne kaha, kisi bhee tarah ka baal durvyavahaar tha— ya kisee any prakaar ka durupayog.20
Kam se kam, anapekshit tareekon se, anyatha wafaadaar purushon, mahilaon aur yahaan tak ki bachchon ko bhee nirdayee bolne ka doshee thaharaaya ja sakta hai, yahaan tak ki vinaashkaaree roop se, un logon ke liye jinhen ve achchhee tarah se Prabhu ke mandir mein ek pavitra adhyaadesh se seal hote hain. Pyar ka hakk har kissi ko hai, shaanti mehasoos karna, aur ghar par surakshit rahena. Kripya, kya hum us vaataavaran ko banae rakhne kee koshish kar sakte hain. Ek shaantidoot hone ka vaada yah hai ki aapke paas apne nirantar saathee ke liye Pawitr Aatma hoga aur aasheervaad aapko milenge “anivaarye saadhanon ke bina” humesha aur humesha ke liye.22 “Mukti dene waale pyaar ke geet ko gaane” ke liye kisee ko teekhee zabaan ya nirdayee shabdon kee zaroorat nahin hai.23
Aao main khatm karta hu jaha se shuru kiya tha. Bhyaan Easter hai, Ishu Masih aur Uske Praeshchit ke susamaachaar ke dhaarmik siddhaanton ka samay jab sangharsh aur vivaad “par se guzarte hai”, niraasha aur hatotsaahan par, aur anth me mrytu par. Yah samay hai bol aur karm ki puri nishtha se Parmeshwar ka Memne ko prathigya doh, jinhone “humaare dukhon ko [saha], aur humaare udaasi ko apne upar liya”23Unke khilaaf uddhaar ke kaam ko khatm karne ke liye Apne drdh sankalp mein.
Vishvaasghaat aur peeda ke baawajood, durvyavahaar aur kroorta, sabhee maanav parivaar ke sanchit paapo ke sahe se, Jeevit Parmeshwar ke Putr mrityu dar kee lambee raah dekh sakta hai, humen dekha, aur kaha: “Shaanti aapke saath chhodhe deta hoon, meri shaanti main tumhen deta hoon: jaisa ki duniya nahi deta, vaisa main tumhen deta hoon. Tumhara mann vyakul na ho, aur na dare.”6 Sabko ek dhanye, aanandmay, shaantipoorn Easter ho. Shaanti ke Raajkumaar dwaara iski ankahee sambhaavnaon ka bhugtaan pahale hee kar diya gaya hai, jise main apne poore dil se pyaar karta hoon, jinka Girjaghar yeh hai, aur jinke baare mein main gawahi deta hoon, woh hai Prabhu Ishu Masih, amen.
