Meri Aatma ki Baatein
Aap kin baato par vichaar karein? Aap mein kaunsi cheejen maayne rakhti hain? Aapki aatma ki cheejen kya hain?
Mere bhaaiyon aur bahanon, jab main ek baar fir hamare priye Sammelan Kendr mein khada hota hoon, to mujhe Apostal Peter ke shabdon ki yaad aati hai: “Prabhu, hamare liye yaha rahena achcha hai.”1
Mere vichaar aaj bhavishyavakta Nephi ke vachanon par kendrit hain, jinhonne Pita Lehi ki mrityu ke baad apne logon ka record rakha tha. Nephi ne likha, “aur in par main apni aatma ki baaten likhta hoon.”2
Main is pad se guzarta tha, yah sochkar ki shabd cheejonbahut sundar ya aadhyaatmik nahin tha, itna bhavy nahin tha ki “my soul” ke saath joda ja sake. Fir bhi mainne sikha hai ki shaastron mein vastu shabd cheezeka prayog 2,354 baar hua hai.3 Udharan ke taur par , Moses mein: “Main shuruat aur ant hu, sarvashaktimaan Parmeshwar hoon; Mere dwara kewal paida hua mainne in cheejon ko banaaya hai.”4 Aur Nephi ke shabd “Dekho, meri aatma Prabhu ki baaton mein anandith hai; aur jin baatonko maine dekha aur sunna, un par mera hirday lagataar manan kar raha hai.”5
Nephi ke shabde prashan uthaate hain “Aap kin baaton par vichaar karte hain?” Aapke liye vaastav mein kaunsi cheejen maayne rakhti hain?” Aapki aatma ki cheejen kya hain?”
Prashan puchkar aksar ha humaari aatma ki baaten spasht aur gehri ho jaati hain.
Pandemic ke dauraan main duniya bhar ke yuvaon ke saath kai bhakti mein mila, bade aur chote, prasaaran aur social media ke maadhyam se, aur hamne unke sawalon par charcha ki.
Chaudah- varsh Joseph Smith ke man mein ek gehra prashn tha, aur woh use Prabhu ke paas le gaya. President Russell M. Neslon ne Apan sawaalon ke Prabhu ke paas le jaao aur anye vishwaasi saadhano tak. Vishwaas kare ke ichcha se adhyan karo na ki ih aasha se ki aap sakta ek prophet ke zindagi me koi kami ya dharamshaastra me koi kami khoje. Apan shak ke badhaawe ke band karo aur sab shakki logon se dohraawe … se. Prabhu ke maoka do aapke dhaarmik safar me aage badhen dewe ke.”6
Yuva aksar mujhse puchte hain ki main kya maanta hoon aur kyon maanta hoon.
Mujhe yaad hai abhaasi rup se ek jawan mahila ke saath uske ghar jaana. Mainne pucha ki kya yeh paheli baar tha jab koi Apostal apne ghar mein aaya tha. Wah jaldi se muskaraee aur jawab diya,“Haa.” Mere liye uska sawal achcha tha: “Mujhe sabse mahatvapurn baaton kya jaanni chahiye?”
Mainne meri aatma ki baaton, ke saath uttar diya, jo mujhe preranaon ko sunne ke liye taeyaar karti hain, jo meri drshti ko duniya ke tarikon se pare uthaati hain, jo mere kaam ko susmaachaar mein aur mere jiwan ko uddeshy deti hain.
Kya main kuch meri aatma ki baaten saajha kar sakta hoon? Ye baaten un sabhi par laagu hoti hain jo Ishu Masih ke sachche shishye banna chahate hain. Das ek achchi nambar hoga, taaki ham yaad kar sake. Aaj main aapko saat is aasha ke saath de raha hoon ki aap apne svayan ke anubhavon se aath, nau aur das pure karenge.
Sabse pahele,Pita Parmeshwar aur hamare Uddhaarkarta Ishu Masih se prem karen.
Ishu ne paheli mahan aagya ko bataaya: “Tumhe Prabhu apne Parmeshwar ko pure hirday, aur pure aatma, aur pure mann se prem karna chahiye.”7
President Nelson ne Parmeshwar, hamare Anant Pita, aur Unke Putr, Ishu Masih ke prati apni bhakti ki ghoshna ki, jab unhen Prabhu ke Girja ka netrtv karne ke liye bulaaya gaya, yah kahete hue, “Main Unhen jaanaa hoon, Unse prem karta hoon, aur Unki—aur aap—ke meri jiwah ki har saas ke saath sewa karne ki pratigya karta hoon”8
To pahele, Pita aur Putr se prem karo.
Dusra, “Apne padosi se prem karo.”9
Yah sirf ek achcha vichaar nahin hai; yeh dusri mahaan aagya hai. Aapke padosi aapke jiwansaathi aur parivaar, ward ke sadasye, kaam ke saathi, roommates, jo hamare vishwaas ke nahin hain, jinhen madad ki zaroorat hai, aur, spasht rup se, har koi. “Aapne padosi se pyaar karo” ka saar “ek dusre se pyaar karo” hymn mein aawaaj uthai gai hai.10
President Nelson hamen yaad dilate hain, “Jab ham Parmeshwar ko aapne pure dil se pyaar karte hain, to Woh hamare dilon ko dusron ki bhalai ke liye badal deta hai .”11
Teesra, khud se pyaar karo.
Yeh woh jagah hai jaha kai koshish karte hain. Kya yeh utsuk nahin hai ki dusron se pyaar karne ki tulna mein khud se pyaar karna kam aasaanei se aata hai? Tabhi, Prabhu ne kaha hai, “Tu aapne padosi se aapne samaan pyaar rakh.”12 Woh hamare bheetar devtav ko mahatav deta hai; to hamen bhi chahiye. Jab ham galtiyon, dil ke dard, aparyaaptata, niraasha, krodh, ya paap ki bhaavanaon se bhare hote hain, to Uddhaarkarta ke Praeshchit ki shakti, divye dijain dwara, aatma ko upar uthaane waali cheejon mein se ek hai.
Chautha, aagyaaon ke paalan karo.
Prabhu ne spasht kiya hai: “Yadi tum mujhse prem rakhte ho, to meri aagyaaon ko maanoge.”13 Har din thoda behtar banane aur karne aur dhaarmikta mein aage badhane ka prayaas karen.
Paanchwa, hamesha mandir jaane ke yogye rahe.
Main Prabhu ke liye sifaarish karna chahata hoon. Yadi aapke paas mandir hai ya nahin, aapko mojhuda(current) temple recommend rahene ke liye ek vartamaan mandir ki hone ke karan aap un cheejon par drdhata se dhyaan kendrit karte hain jo mahatvpurn hain, vaachan ka maarg.
Chautha, kush aur hasmukh rahen.
“Khush raho, aur daro mat.”14 Prabhu ne kaha. Kyun? Kaise, jab chunautiyaan har mod par hamare saamne hai? Ishu Masih dwara di gai vaada ke karan: “Isliye, achche insaan bano, aur daro mat, ki Main Prabhu tumhare saath hoon, aur tumhare saath rahunga”15
President Nelson ne punaasthaapit susmaachaar ka “varnan khushi !”16 ka sandesh!” .Aur samajhaate, “Woh khushi jon hum long mehsoos karta bahut kum hum long ke jiwan ke paristithi seh taallukh rakkhe hai.”17
Saatwaa, Parmeshwar ke jiwit profat ka anusaran karen.
Yah meri cheejon ki suchi mein saatawe sthaan par ho sakta hai, lekin aaj iske mahatv ke maamale mein yah mere liye bahut mahatavpurn hai.
Is prithvi mein hamare paas Parmeshwar ke ek profat hai! Kuch nahin sochna mahatvapurn hai aapke liye iska kya matlab hai. Us jawan mahila ko yaad karo jiska mainne shuruaat mein ullekh kiya tha Woh jaanna chahati thee ki kaun si cheejen sabse zyaada maayane rakhti hain. “Jiwit profat ka anusaran karo, ”Mainne tab kaha tha aur main aaj fir se zor deta hoon.
Ham is samay ke liye Parmeshwar dwara bulae gae profat, seers aur revelators ke netrtv mein ek Girjaghar ke rup mein pratishthit hain. Main vaada karta hoon ki jab aap unki salaah ko sunenge aur unka paalan karenge, to aap kabhi bhi gumaraah nahin honge. Kabhi nahi!
Ham ek aise samay mein rahete hain jab ham “aage idhar-udhar phenke jaate hain, ”18 jab aadhyaatmikta, sharafat, imaandaari aur izzat par hamla hota hai. Hamen chunaav karna hai. Hamare paas Unke profat ke maadhyam se Prabhu ki vaani hai jo hamare bhay ko shaant karti hai aur hamari drshti ko upar uthaati hai, kyunki jab President Nelsan bolte hain, to weh Prabhu ke liye bolte hain.
Ham shaastron aur shikshaon se dhanye hain jo hamen yaad dilaate hain, “Mere vichaar tumhare vichaar nahin hain, na hi tumhare maarg mere maarg hain, Prabhu ki yahi vaani hai.”19
Yah Naaman ke saath tha, jo Syria mein ek mahaan sainy neta tha, fir bhi ek kodhee, jise bataya gaya tha ki profat Elisha use changa kar sakta hai. Elisha ne apke dut ko bheja, ki Naaman ko River Jordan mein saat baar snaan karne ko kahe, tab vah shuddh ho jaega. Naaman ne thahaaka lagaaya. Nishchay hee River Jordan se bhi adhik shaktishaali nadi thee, aur jab Elisha profat se vyaktigat roop se use changa karne ki apeksha karta tha, to usne ek sewak ko kyon bheja? Naaman chala gaya, lekin ant mein naukaron ne use mana liya: “Agar profat tujhe koi mahan kaam karne ki aagya deta, to kya tu use na karta?”20 Naaman ne ant mein Jordan mein saat baar dubki lagai aur theek ho gaya.
Naaman ka vrttaant hamen bhavishyavaanee ki salaah ke kuch hisso ko chunne aur chunane ke jokhimon ki yaad dilaata hai jo hamari soch, apekshaon ya aaj ke maanadandon ke anukul hain. Hamara profat lagaataar hamen hamari River Jordan kee or ishaara karta hai ki ham chaange ho jaen.
Sabse mahatapurn shabd jo ham sun sakte hain, un par vichaar kar sakte hain aur unka anusaran kar sakte hain weh hamare jiwiit profat ke dwara prakat kiye gae hain. Main gawahi deta hoon ki main Girja aur duniya ke mahatvpurn maamalon par charcha karne ke liye President Nelsan ke saath paraamarsh par baitha hoon, aur mainne unke maadhyam se revelaishan ko dekha hai . Woh Prabhu ko jaanta hai, woh Uske maargon ko jaanta hai, aur woh chahata hai ki Parmeshwar ke sabhi bachche use, Prabhu Ishu Masih ko sunen.
Kai saalon tak hamane saal mein do baar aam sabha mein profat se suna. Lekin hamare samay ke jatil muddon ke saath, President Nelsan manchon,21 soshal meediya, 22 bhakti, 23 aur yaha tak ki pres breefing mein adhik baar bol rahe hain.24 Mainne unhen gahan revelaishan sandeshon ko taeyaar karte aur prastut karte hue dekha hai, jinhonne adhik krtagyata ko protsaahit kiya hai, prithvi par hamare sabhi bhaaiyon aur bahanon ke adhik samaavesh ko badhaava diya hai, aur hamare vyaktigat jiwan mein shaanti, aasha, aanand, svaasthy aur chikitsa ko badhaaya hai.
President Nelson ek pratibhaashaali sanchaarak hain, lekin isase bhi mahatvpurn baat yah hai ki weh Parmeshwar ke profat hain. Jab aap isake baare mein sochte hain to yah chaunka dene vaala hota hai, lekin yah mehsoos karna mahatvpurn hai ki unki spasht disha ham sabhi ko dhokhe, chaalaaki aur dharmanirapeksh tarikon se aaj duniya mein gati praapt karne se bachaegi.25
Profat ka mantr revelaishan ke baare mein hai. “Ishu Masih ke Susamachaar ka Sampurn Punahsthaapna: Ek Aupchaarik Ghoshna Duniya ke Liye,” April 2020 ke aam sammelan mein diya gaya, is baat par jor deta hai ki Prabhu is kaarye ka nirdeshan kar rahe hain Is udghoshna mein, First Presidency aur Barah Devdut ke Koram kaheti hai: “Ham khushi se ghoshna karte hain ki waada kiya gaya bahaali nirantar prakaashan ke maadhyam se aage badhta hai. Dharti phir kabhi pehle ke rakam nahi rahi, kyunki Parmeshwar ‘sab cheej ek sange laai Masih me’ (Ephesians 1:10).”26
“Masih mein sab kuch”27 aur “meri aatma kee baaten”28 yah Girja, yah susmaachaar, aur yah log sab kuch hain.
Main aap mein se pratyek ke liye saat “meri aatma ki baaton” par vichaar karne ke liye ek nimantran ke saath band karta hoon jise mainne aaj saajha kiya hai: Parmeshwar Pita aur Ishu Masih, hamare Uddhaarkarta se prem karo; apne padosi se prem karen; khud se pyaar karo; aagyaon ko rakhana; hamesha mandir ki siphaarish ke yogye banen; harshit aur harshit ho; aur Parmeshwar ke jiwit profat ka anusaran karo. Main aapko apne aath, nau aur das ki pahechaan karne ke liye aamantrit karta hoon. Un tarikon par vichaar karen jinse aap apni haardik “baatein” dusron ke saath saajha kar sakte hain aur unhen prarthana karne, vichaar karne aur Prabhu ke maargadarshan ki talaash karne ke liye protsaahit kar sakte hain.
Meri aatma ki baatein mere liye utni hi kimati hain jitni ki aapki aapke liye hain. Is cheeze Girja aur jiwan ke sabhi kshetron mein hamari sewa ko mazboot karti hain. Weh hamen Ishu Masih ke prati samarpit karte hain, weh hamen hamari vaachaon ki yaad dilaate hain, aur weh hamen Prabhu ki baahon mein surakshit mehsoos karne mein madad karte hain. Main gawahi deta hoon ki Woh chahata hai ki hamari aatmaen “kabhi bhookhi na pyaasi rahe, parantu trpt rahen”29Uske prem se jab ham Uske sachche shishye banana chahate hain, jaise Woh Pita ke saath hai, Uske saath ek hona. Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
