Lekin Hum ne Unki Nahi Suni

(1 Nephi 8:33)

Elder David A. Bednar dwara

Barah Devduton ke Quorum Ke

Vachanein aur dharamvidhiyaan hum log ke ishara kare aur madad kare hai hamesha Prabhu Ishu Masih se hamare sambandh ko yaad karne ke liye jab hum vachanbadh raaste pe aage badhte hai.

Meri patni, Susan, hamare teen bete aur unke patniyaan, hamare sabhi pote-potiyaan, aur Elder Quentin L. Cook, jo lagbhag 15 saal tak mera baethne ka saathi tha Barah ke Quorum me, sab ih bole ke raazi rahi ki hum achcha gaayak nahi hai. Lekin hamaar gaawe ke gun ke kami ke bawajood, hamme achcha lage Punahsthaapna ke gaana gaao. Prerna bhare bol aur shaandaar dhun ke madad se hum susamachaar ke zaroori siddhaanton ke seekhta aur hamaar aatma ke prerna mile.

Ek gaana jisse hamaar zindagi me bhaari tarah se ashish aais, uh hai “Let Us All Press On.” Abhi haal me hum uh gaana ke chorus me ek khaas bol ke baare me sochta aur seekhta raha. “Dusht jon kuch bole hum nahi sunenge, par sirf Prabhu ke hi maanenge.”¹

Hum nahi sunenge.

Jab hum “Let Us All Press On” gaata hai, hum aksar Lehi ke drishti me jon log raha ke baare me sochta hai jon jiwan ke ped(tree of life) ke taraf le ke jaae la maarg pe aage badh rahe the, jon khali “usse chipka”² nahi raha par jon “lagataar lohe ke chadi(rod of iron) ko pakde rahe, jab tak uh log aage badh ke aur uh ped ke fal pe toot nahi padis khaawe ke liye.”³ Lehi uh unche aur bhaari mahal me dher jan ke baare me bataais jon “hasi udaae la ungli uthaais [uske] taraf … aur uh log ke taraf jon fal khaata raha.”⁴ Taana aur apmaan ke prati Unki pratikriya shaandaar aur yaadgaar hai: “Lekin humne unki baat nahi maani.”⁵

Hum praathna karta hai ki Pawitr Aatma hum log sab ke ashish di aur prerit kari jab hum sab ek saath sochega ki kaise hum ih duniya ke dusht prabhaawon aur ungli uthaane waale aawaazon ke “nahi sune” me mazboot banega.

Nahi Suno

Ih shabd suno sujhaao de ki koi insaan pe ya koi cheez pe dhyaan nahi do ya parwaah nahi karo. Isliye, “Let Us All Press On” gaana ke bol hum log ke chetaoni dewe hai ek sahi chunao karo “dusht kya kehne waala hai” pe dhyaan nahi de kar. Aur Lehi aur uh log jon uske saathe ped ka fal khaa rahe the ek mazboot uddhaaran dewe hai khilli udaawe aur ungli uthaawe pe dhyaan nahi dewe ke jon ki uncha aur bhaari mahal me se etna zyaada aata raha.

Masih ke siddhaant jon “jiwit Parmeshwar ke Aatma ke saath … [hamare dilon] ki maas waale paattiyon pe”⁶ likhaan hai hum log ke “nahi sune” ke chamta badhaawe ih patit duniya ke etna dher dhyaan hatane ke cheez, taano, aur manoranjan se. Jaise ki, Prabhu Ishu Masih me aur uspe kendrit vishwaas hum log ke aatmik shakti se mazboot kare hai. Muktidaata me vishwaas ek karm aur shakti ke siddhaant hai. Jab hum log Uske susamachaar ke sachchaaiyon ke mutaabik karm karta hai, to hum log ke Rakshak dwara dewal khushiyon pe dhyaan kendrit karte huwe maransheelta ke chunaotiyon ke zariye aage badhe ke dhaarmik chamta mile hai. Sachmuch, “agar hum log wahi karega jonchi sahi hai, toh hum log ke dare ke koi zaroorat nahi, kaae ki Prabhu. hum log ke sahayak, sab samay nazdeek rahi.”⁷

Vachano ke Zariye ek Niji Sambandh

Pawitr vachano me shaamil hona aur yogye rup se purohiti vidhiyon ke praapt kare se hum log Prabhu Ishu Masih aur Swarg ke Pita se jud jaata hai.⁸ Iske yahi matlab hai ki hum log Rakshak pe apan Wakeel⁹ aur Mediator ke rup me bharosa karta hai¹⁰ aur Uske khoobi, taras, aur upkaar pe nirbhar rehta hai¹¹ apan jiwan ke yaatra ke daoraan. Jab hum log atal rehta hai Masih ke or badhe me aur Uske saath jodaan rehta hai, hum log uske barkaraar aur anant Praeshchit ke shuddhi, changaai, aur mazboot kare la asheeshon ko praapt karte hai.¹²

Vachano ki pratibandho ko jeena aur pyaar karna Prabhu ke saath ek sambandh banaata hai jon ki gehra rup se niji aur dhaarmik rup se shaktishaali rahe hai. Jab hum log pawitr vachano aur dharamvidhiyon ke sharton ka sammaan karte hai, hum dheere dheere aur thoda thoda se Uske kareeb aate hai¹³ aur hum log ke jiwan me Uske divyata aur jeevit vaastavikta ke prabhaao anubhav karta hai. Ishu tab shaastro me dewal kahaniyon ke mukhye kirdaar se bahut zyaada ho jaate hai; Uske uddhaaran aur shikshaaen hum log ke har ek ichcha, vichaar aur kaarye ke prabhaawit kare hai.

Saaf saaf kahun toh hamaar paas uh chamta nahi hai ki Parmeshar ke punarjiwit aur jiwit Putr ke saath hum log ke theek swabhaao aur vachan ke sambandh ke shakti ke paryaapt roop se samjhaaun. Lekin hum gawahi deta hai ki Uske aur Swarg ke Pita ke saath ke sambandh vaastao me hai aur woh aashwaasan, shaanti, anand aur dhaarmik shakti ka antim zariya hai jon hum log ke kaabil banawe “daro nahi, bhale hi dushman hasi udaae.”¹⁴ Ishu Masih ke vachan-banane-waale aur vachan-nibhaane-waale chelon ke rup me, hamein ashish mil sakti hai “saahas baratne me, kyunki Prabhu hamare saath hai”¹⁵ aur bure prabhaawon aur ungli uthaane waale duniya ki koi parwaah na karo.

Jab hum duniya bhar ke Girjaghar ke sadasyon se milta hai, hum aksar uh log se ih sawaal puchta hai: aapke konchi madad kare hai duniya ke prabhaawon, hasi udaana, aur ungli uthaana ke “nahi sune” ke? Uh log ke jawaab sabse shikshit karne waale hai.

Bahadur sadasye aksar Pawitr Aatma ke shakti ko apne jiwan me amantrit karne ke mahatwa pe gaor karte hai arthpurn dharamshaastr adhyan, utsaahi praathna, aur sahi taeyaari karte hai prabhubhoj ke dharamvidhi me bhaag lene ke liye. Wafadaar pariwaar ke sadasyon aur bharosemand doston ke dhaarmik sahayta, dekhrekh aur Prabhu ke punahsthaapit Girjaghar me sewa karne me seekhe gaye zaroori sabak, aur unche aur bhaari mahal se aane waale koi bhi cheez ki purn shoonyeta ko samajhne ki chamta ka bhi aksar baat kiya gaya hai.

Hum ih sadasye log ke jawaabo me ek khaas pattern dekha hai jon khaas rup se mahatwapurn hai. Sabse pehle aur sabse mahatwapurn, ih chela log ke paas Swarg ke Pita ke khushi ki yojna aur hum log ke Muktidaata aur Rakshak Ishu Masih ki bhumika ki pakkee gawahi hai. Aur dusri baat, unka dhaarmik gyaan aur pakka vishwaas vyaktigat, niji, aur khaas hai; woh saamaanye aur khayaal me hi nahi hote. Hum ih samarpit aatmaaon ke sunta hai vachano ke baat karte huwe jisse mazbooti milti hai virodh ko door karne ke liye aur jiwit Prabhu ke saath unka sambandh unhe achche aur bure stithi me sahara deta hua. In logon ke liye, Ishu Masih vaastav me ek niji Rakshak hai.

Susamachaar ki vachanein aur dharmvidhiyaan hamare jiwan me ek compass ki tarah kaam karte hai. Ek compass ek upkaran hai jiska istemaal navigation(raah dhoondhne) aur geographic thikaana maaloom karne me zaroori hai jaise uttar, dakshan, purav aur pakshim. Yahi rakam se, hum log ke vachanein aur dharamvidhiyaan hum log ke ishara kare aur madad kare hai hamesha Prabhu Ishu Masih se hamare sambandh ko yaad karne ke liye jab hum vachanbadh raaste pe aage badhte hai.

Maransheelta me hum log sab ke liye zaroori disha hai Masih ke paas aana aur unme uttam(perfect) ho jaana.¹⁶ Pawitr vachanein aur dharamvidhiyaan hamein madad karti hai Rakshak pe gaor kare pe aur Uske kripa se¹⁷ koshish karke, Unki tarah aur banne me. Nishchay hi, “ek andekhi [shakti] sachchaai ke gaoravpurn kaam me meri aur aapki sahayta karegi.”¹⁸

Lagaataar Lohe ki Chadi ko Pakde Huwe

Parmeshwar aur Ishu Masih ke saathe hum log ke vachan ka sambandh woh maadhyam hai jiske dwara hum “na sunne” ki chamta aur shakti praapt kar sakte hai. Aur yeh bandhan mazboot hota hai kyunki hum lagaataar lohe ki chadi ko pakde rehte hai. Lekin jaisa ki Nephi ke bhaaiyon ne jaanna chaaha tha, “Uh lohe ki chadi ka kya matlab jo hamare pita ne dekha tha … ?

“Aur [Nephi] ne unse kaha ki woh Parmeshwar ka shabd tha; aur jo bhi Parmeshwar ke shabd ki sunega, aur use lagataar pakde rahega, woh kabhi nasht na honge; naa toh behkaawein aur shaetaan aag bhare teer unpe vijayi hoke andha kar paaenge, taaki unhe vinaash ki or le jaaen.”¹⁹

Kripya yeh yaad rakkhe ki behkaawe se mudne aur shaetaan ke aagi ke teero ko rokna unhe vaada kiya gaya hai jo Parmeshwar ke shabd ko “lagataar pakde rahenge” na ki sirf usse “chipke rahenge.”

Dilchaspi ki baat hai, Devdut John ne Ishu Masih ko woh Shabd kaha tha.²⁰

“Duniya ke bane se pehle woh Shabd raha, aur woh Shabd Parmeshwar ke sange raha, aur woh Shabd Parmeshwar raha. …

“Usi ke sahare duniya me sab kuch bana; aur uske bina ek bhi cheez nahi bana. …

“Aur woh Shabd admi ke rup dhar lees, aur hum log ke beech me rahe lagis, (aur hum log uske mahima dekha, uh mahima uske mila kaae ki uh apan Pita ke eklauta ladka raha,) pure kripa aur sachchaai ke saath.”²¹

Isliye, Ishu Masih ke ek naam “Woh Shabd” bhi hai.²²

Iske saath saath, aathwe vishwaas ke vishay kehta hai, “Hum vishwaas karte hai ki Dharamshaastr Parmeshwar ka shabd hai agar woh sahi tarah se anuwaad kiya gaya ho; hum yeh bhi vishwaas karte hai Marman Dharamshaastr bhi Parmeshwar ka shabd hai.”²³

Isliye, Rakshak ke shikshaaen, jo pawitr shaastron me likha hai, bhi “woh shabd” hai.

Hamme ek sujhaao dene do ki Parmeshwar ke shabd ko lagataar pakde rehne ke liye zaroori hai (1) yaad rakhna, sammaan karna, aur Rakshak aur Uske Pita ke saath hamare niji sambandh ko punahsthaapit susamachaar ki vachanon aur vidhiyon ke maadhyam se mazboot karna aur (2) praathnaapurwak, imaandaari se, aur lagataar pawitr shaastron aur jiwit prophets aur devduton ki shikshaaon ko prakat satya ke nischchint sroton ke rup me upyog karna. Jab hum bandhe huwe hai aur Prabhu ko “lagataar pakde” hai aur Unke dharamsiddhaant ko jeene ke dwara hum me badlaao aaya hai,²⁴ hum vaada karta hai ki akele aur ek saath milke hamein “pawitr sthaano me khade rehne aur sthir rehne” ka ashirvaad milega.²⁵ Agar hum log Masih me bane rahenge, toh Woh hamare saath rahega aur hamare saath chalega.²⁶ Nishchay hi, “pariksha ke dino me woh apna Santo ki jayjaykaar karega, aur satye ke maarg ko safalta dilaaega.”²⁷

Gawahi

Aage jaate raho. Lagataar pakde raho. Nahi suno.

Hum gawahi deta hai ki Rakshak ke punahsthaapit susamachaar ke vachano aur dharamvidhiyon ke prati imaandaari hamein Prabhu ke kaarye me aage jaate raho, me Uh jon Parmeshwar ke Shabd hai ke lagataar pakde raho me, aur shaetaan ke behkaawon ke nahi sune me kaabil banati hai. Adhikaar ki ladaai me, hum me se pratiek ek talwaar lein, yahan tak ki “sachchaai ki shaktishaali talwaar,”²⁸ Prabhu Ishu Masih ki pawitr naam se, amen.
