Girjaghar ke Zaroorat
Dharamshaastr spasht rup se hum log ke Prabhu, Ishu Masih ke adhikaar ke saath aur nirdeshit girjaghar ka shuruaat aur aawashyakta sikhaawe hai.
Dher saal pehle, Elder Mark E. Petersen, jo Barah Devduton ke Quorum ka ek sadasye tha, ek bhaashan shuru karis ih uddharan se.
“Kenneth aur uske patni, Lucille, achche insaan hai, shareef aur imaandaar. Bhale uh log girja nahi jaawe, uh log ke lage uh log uske bina achcha sake rahe. Uh log apan ladkan ke imaandaari aur bhalaai sikhaawe aur apne aap ke batawe hai ki Girjaghar bhi yahi karta hai unke liye.
“Aur, chaahe jaise bhi, unka zidh hai unhe saptah-anth chahiye pariwaar ke saath manoranjan ke liye … [aur] girja-jaana isme rukawat hoga.”1
Aaj, hamaar sandesh ih rakam ke achcha aur dhaarmik-vichaar ke logon se sambandhit hai jinhonne apne girjagharon me jaana ya bhaag lena band kar diya hai.2 Jab hum “girjagharon” bolta hai, isme shaamil hai synagogues(jews ke bhakti sthaan), mazjidein, ya anye dhaamik sangathane. Hum chintit hai ki in sab me, deshbhar me, aane waalon ki sankhya bahut kam ho gayi hai.3 Agar hum log koi bhi wajah se apan girjagharon ko mahatwa dena band kar dete hai, toh hum apne niji dhaarmik jiwan ko khatre me daalte hai, aur bhaari sankhyaaon ke log jab khud ko Parmeshwar se alag karte hai yeh hamare deshon me Unke ashirwaadon ko kam karta hai.
Ek girjaghar jaana aur gatividhiyon se hamein behtar insaan banne aur dusro ke jiwan par behtar prabhaao daalne me madad milti hai. Girjagharon me hamein sikhaaya jaawe hai ki dhaarmik sidhaanto ko kaise laagu kiya jaata hai. Hum ek dusre se seekhte hai. Kisi ke uddharan se prerna paana kisi updesh se shaktishaali hai. Hamein ek jaise vichaar rakhne waale logon ke saath judke mazbooti milti hai. Girjaghar aane aur shaamil hone me, hamare dil, jaisa ki Bible kehti hai, “ek sange pyaar me bandh jaae.”4
I.
Jon dharamshaastr Parmeshwar dees hai Isaaiyon ke Bible me aur abhi ke revelation me saaf rup se ek girjaghar ke zaroorat sikhaawe hai. Duno me dekhaate hai ki Ishu Masih ne ek girja aayojit kiya aur is pe vichaar kiya ki ek girja Uske baad Uske kaam ko jaari rakhega. Usne Barah Devduton ko bulaaya aur unhe ise nirdeshit karne ka adhikaar aur chaabiyaan di. Bible sikhaati hai Masih “girja ka mukhiya”5 aur ki uske afsaron ko “santo ko sidh kare ke liye, aur sewa kare ke kaam se, aur Masih ke shareer ki unnati ke liye”6 diya gaya raha. Bible achcha se batawe hai ek girjaghar ke sthaapna aur abhi uski zaroorat ke baare me.
Kuch log bole hai ki girjaghar ke sabhaaon me jaae se uh log ke madad nahi mile. Kuch log bole, “Hum aaj kuch nahi sikha” ya “Koi humse achcha se baat nahi karis” ya “Hamme bura laga.” Niji nirashaaen ke hum log ke Masih ke siddhaant se kabhi door nahi chaahi karo, jon hum log ke sewa kare ke sikhaais, na ki sewa karwaana.7 Yeh dhyaan me rakh ke, ek dusra sadasye Girjaghar jaawe ke apan nazariya pesh karis.
“Saalon pehle, hum girjaghar jaawe ke baare me apan rawaiya badal diya raha. Hum ab apan liye girjaghar nahi jaata, balki dusron ke liye soche ke khaatir jaata hai. Hum uh log ke namaste bole jaata jon akele baithe hai, naye chehro ka swaagat karne, … apne se koi kaarye kare ke ichcha kare ke liye. …
“Yaane ki, hum har hafta girjaghar jaata hai sakriye(active) rahe ke liye, asakriye nahi, aur logon ke jiwan me achcha badlaao laae ke liye.”8
President Spencer W. Kimball sikhaais hai ki “hum log Sabbath sabhaaon me manoranjan paae ke liye nahi jaata hai ya khali seekhe ke liye nahi. Hum log Prabhu ke aaraadhna kare jaata. Yeh har ek ki niji zimmedaari hai. … Agar service(sabha) se aap kuch nahi sikhta hai, toh aap asafal hai. Koi aur nahi sake aapke liye aaraadhna kare; aapke chaahi apne se Prabhu ke prerna ke intazaar karo.”9
Girjaghar jaawe se hum khush hote hai aur hamare aatmaaen pawitr hoti hai.
Ek girjaghar me hum khali akele ya apan pasand se ya apan suvidha se sewa nahi karte hai. Hum aam taur pe ek team me sewa karte hai. Sewa kare me hum log swarg-se-bheje-gaye maoke paate hai apne aap ko ubhaarne ke liye. Girjaghar dwara nirdeshit sewa hamein madad karti hai apne niji swaarth pe kaabu paae ke jon sake hum log ke dhaarmik badhanti ke dheema kar de.
Kuch aur zaroori achaaiyaan batani baaki hai, bhale thoda se hi. Girjaghar me hum log mazedaar logon se milte hai jo Parmeshwar ki sewa karne ki koshish karte hai. Isse hamein yaad aata hai ki hum akele nahi hai hamare dhaarmik gatividhiyon me. Hum log sab ke dusron ke sange judne ki aawashyakta hai, aur girja ke mel-jol usme se sabse behtar anubhavon me se hai, hamare liye aur hamare jiwan saathiyon aur bachchon ke liye. In mel-jolp ke bina, khaaskar bachcho aur vishwaasi maata-pitaaon ke beech, research dikhaati hai maata-pitaaon ke liye bachchon ko apne dharm me badha karna kathin hota hai.10
II.
Abhi tak, hum aam taur pe girjagharon ke baare me baat kara hai. Ab hum Rakshak ke punahsthaapit Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dino ke Santo ka me sadasyata, upasthiti, aur bhaagidaari ke khaas kaarano pe baat karega.
Hum log, nishchit rup se, pushti karte hai ki pracheen aur aadhunik dharamshaastr, spasht rup se hum log ke Prabhu, Ishu Masih ke adhikaar ke saath aur nirdeshit girjaghar ka shuruaat aur aawashyakta sikhaawe hai. Hum is baat ki bhi gawahi dete hai ki Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar aayojit hua Uske siddhaant ki sampurnata ko sikhaane ke liye aur Uske purohiti ke adhikaar se kaam kare ke liye jo zaroori hai Parmeshwar ke raajye me jaane ke liye.11 Jon sadasye Girjaghar aana band kar dete hai aur sirf apne hi dhaarmikta pe bharosa karte hai apne aap ko susamachaar ke zarooraton se alag kar lete hai: purohiti ki shakti aur ashirwaadein, punahsthaapit siddhaant ki sampurnata, aur uh siddhaant ke aazmaae ke liye prerna aur maoko se. Woh apne parivaar ko anant kaal ke liye sthir rakhne se chook jaate.
Punahsthaapit Girjaghar ke ek aur faeda ih hai ki yeh hum logon ko dhaarmik rup se badhe me madad karta hai. Badhanti ka matlab hai pariwartan. Iska dhaarmik matlab hai pashchataap karna aur Prabhu ke nazdeek aawe ke koshish karna. Punahsthaapit Girjaghar me hum log ke paas siddhaant, prakriyaae, aur prerit sahayak hai jo pashchataap kare me madad kare hai. Uh log ke maksad, sadasyata parishadein (membership councils) me bhi, saza nahi hai, jaise ek criminal(apraadhik) adaalat me parinaam rahe. Girjaghar ke sadasyata ke councils pyaar se hum log ke Ishu Masih ke Praeshchit ke zariye chama ki daya ke kaabil bane me madad kare maange hai.
Niji dhaarmikta bahut kam punahsthaapit Girjaghar dwara pradaan ki gayi niswaarth sewa ke liye prerna aur sanrachna pradaan karti hai. Iske mahaan uddharan woh yuva purush aur mahilaaen aur buzurg hai jo apni school sikhsha ya retirement kaamo ko chodh ke missionary callings swikaar karte hai. Woh apirichit jaghaaon pe ajnabiyon ke missionary ke rup me kaam karte hai jinhe unhonne nahi chuna hai. Yahi vishwaasi sadasyon ke baare me sach hai jo niswaarth sewa me bhaag lewe hai jise hum log “mandir kaarye” kehte hai. Girjaghar ke bina aisan koi bhi sewa nahi rahi jon iske sponsor kari, aayojit kari, aur nirdeshit kari.
Hum log ke sadasyon ke dhaarmik aastha aur Girjaghar sewa uh log ke sikhaais hai ki kaise badha samudaae ke laabh pahunchaae ke liye sehkaari prayaaso me kaam kare ke hai. Ih rakam ke anubhao aur badhanti hum log ke vartamaan samaaj ke khud ke baare me sochne ke maujooda practices me nahi hota hai. Hum log ka sthaaniye wards ke geographic sangathan me, hum un logon ke saath judte hai aur kaam karte hai jinhe humne anyatha nahi chuna hoga, woh vyakti jo hamein padhaate hai aur hamari pariksha lete hai.
Pyaar, karuna, chama, aur dhaerye jaisan dhaarmik guno ko seekhne me hamari madad kare ke alaawa, yeh hamein yah seekhne ka maoka deta hai ki bahut alag backgrounds aur preferences ke insaan ke saath kaise kaam kiya jaae. Is laabh ne hamare kayi sadasyon ,aur unki bhaagidaari se dhanye dher sangathano ki madad ki hai. Antim-din Sant jaane maane hai cooperative koshish me aguwaai karne aur ekjut karne ki chamta ke liye. Yeh parampara shuru hui hamare saahasi purwajo se jinhonne Intermountain West ko colonize kiya tha aur sab ki achchaai ke liye nirswaarth sehyog ki hamari mulyewaan parampara ki sthaapna ki.
Zyaada karke humanitarian aur charitable koshishein badhe paemaane me puri ho sakti hai vyaktigat sansaadhano ko milaakar aur saath milke sewa kare se Punahsthaapit Girjaghar duniya bhar me apan bhaari humanitarian koshishon ke saathe yahi kare hai. Isme shaamil hai padhaai aur medical(chikitsa) sambandhi cheezein baatna, bhukhon ko khaana khilaana, sharnaarthiyon(refugees) ki dekhbhaal karna, laton ke prabhaao ke door kare me madad karna, aur kayi anye kaarye. Hamare Girjaghar ke sadasyon ko prakritik aapadiyon(natural disasters) me unke Helping Hands projects ke liye jaana jaata hai. Girjaghar me sadasyata se hum log badhe paemaane ke koshishon ka hissa bane ke maoka paata hai. Sadasye apne hi beech me gareebo ke madad ke liye upwaas bhent bhi dete hai.
Aatma ke saath se shaanti aur anand mehsoos karne ke saath saath, hamare Girjaghar-jaane waale sadasye susamachaar jiye ke fal ka maza lete hai, jaise Budhimaani ke Shabd jeene aur daswa hissa dene ke kaanoon ka paalan karne pe vaada kiye paese aur dhaarmik ashirwaadein. Hum log ke paas prerit leaderon ke salaah ka ashirwaad bhi hai.
Isme sabse behtar hai adhikaarik purohiti ki dharamvidhiyaan jo zaroori hai anantta ke liye, tatha prabhubhoj jo hum har Sabbath ko lete hai. Punahsthaapit Girjaghar me antim dharamvidhi hai viwaah ka hamesha ka vachan, jo gauravsheel parivaarik sambandhon ke kaayam rakhna sambhao kare hai. President Russell M. Nelson ek yaadgaar tarika se ih siddhaant sikhaais hai. Uh bolis: “Hum log nahi sakta Parmeshwar ke upasthiti me apne aap ke wish karke le ke jaawe. Hum log ke uh niyamo ke paalan kare ke hai jis pe [woh ashirwaad hai] nirdhaarit.”12
Un kaanoono me se ek hai har ek Sabbath ke din girjaghar me aaraadhna karna.13 Hamari aaraadhna aur anant sidhaanton ko laagu karna hamein Parmeshwar ke kareeb laata hai aur pyaar karne ki hamari chamta ko badhaata hai. Parley P. Pratt, jo ih yug ke pehle Devduton me se ek tha, ne bataya jab Prophet Joseph Smith ih siddhaanto ke samjhaais toh use kaisa laga: “Hum mehsoos kara ki Parmeshwar hamaar swargiye Pita hai, ki Ishu hamaar bhaai hai, aur ki hamaar jiwan saathi ek amar, anant saathi hai: ek dayalu, sewa karne waali swargdut, mujhe ek aaraam ke liye diya gaya, aur hamesha hamesha ke liye mahima ka ek mukut diya. Yaane ki, ab hum aatma se aur samajh se bhi pyaar kare sakta raha.”14
Anth me, hum sab ke bataae mangta ki hum yeh nahi maante hai ki achchaai khali ek girjaghar se hi haasil kiya jaa sakta hai. Bina koi girja me rahe, hum log laakhon logon ke dekhta hai bahut se achcha kaaryon ke samarthan aur sanchaalan karte huwe. Vyaktigat rup se, Antim-dino ke Sant unme se kayi me bhaag lete hai. Hum in kaaryon ko anant sachchaai ke pradarshan ke rup me dekhte hai ki “Aatma duniya me aane waale har ek insaan ko prakaash deta hai.”15
Jon achcha kaarye Girjaghar ke bina ho sakta hai ke bawajood, siddhaant ke paripurnata aur uski bachaane waali aur uncha karne waali dharamvidhiyaan sirf punahsthaapit Girjaghar me uplabdh hai. Iske alaawa, Girjaghar ki upasthiti hame vishwaas ki shakti aur vriddhi deti hai jo anye sab vishwaasiyon ke saath judne aur un logon ke saath aaraadhna karne se aati hai jo vachan ke maarg pe bane rehne aur Masih ke behtar shikshye banne ki koshish kar rahe hai. Hum praathna karta hai ki hum sabhi in Girjagharon ke anubhavon me dridh rahenge kyunki hum anant jiwan dhoondhte hai, Parmeshwar ke sabhi uphaaro me sabse mahaan, Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
