Aapka Divye Swabhaao aur Anant Naseeb
Main aapko apne jiwan ko Ishu Masih par kendrit karne aur Jawaan Mahilaaon theem mein neev satyon ko yaad rakhne ke liye aamantrit karta hoon.
Priye bahanon, yaha aane ke liye dhanyevaad. Main maha sammelan ke is mahilaaon ki sabha mein bhaag lene ke liye sammaanit mehsoos kar raha hoon. Kabhi kabhi mujhe Jawaan Mahilaaon ki kakshaon mein bhaag lene ka bhi saubhaagye praapt hua hai. Lekin main spasht rup se bata doon—main jawaan nahin hoon, aur main ek mahila nahin hoon! Haalaanki, mainne sikha, ki agar main jawaan mahilaaon ke saath Jawaan Mahilaaon theme ka paath kar sakti hoon to mujhe unke saath hone ka ehsaas hota hai. Jawaan Mahilaaon ka theme1 mein padhaaya jaane vaala mahaan siddhaant yuva mahilaaon ke liye mahatvapoorn hai, lekin yah un sabhi par laagoo hota hai, jinme hum bhi shaamil hain jo jawaan mahilaaen nahin hain.
Jawaan Mahilaaen theme shuru hoti hai, “Main ek divye prakrti aur shaashvat bhaagye ke saath swargiye maata-pita ki pyaari beti hoon.”2 Is kathan mein chaar mahatvpoorn sachaai hain. Sabse pahale, aap ek pyaari beti hain. Aap jo bhi karein—ya nahin karein—use badal sakte hain. Parmeshwar tumse prem karta hai kyunki tum Uski aatmik beti ho. Kabhi-kabhi ham Unke pyaar ko mehsoos nahin kar sakte hain, lekin yah hamesha rehta hai. Parmeshwar ka pyaar sabse uttam hai.3 Hum me us pyaar ko samajhne ki chamta nahin hai.
Parmeshwar ke pyaar ko ham tak pahunchne mein Aatma ek mahatvpoorn bhoomika nibhaata hai.4 Phir bhi, Pavitr Aatma ke prabhaav ko “krodh, nafrat, [ya] darnaa, jaisi prabal bhaavanaon se chupaya ja sakta hai, jaise jalapeño peppa angoor khaate samay ek angoor ke naajuk svaad ka svaad lene ki koshish karna. [Ek svaad] doosre par poori tarah se haavi ho jaata hai.”5 Isi tarah, aise vyavahaar jo hamen Pavitr Aatma se door karte hain, jisme paap shaamil hai,6 hamare liye Parmeshwar ke pyaar ko samajhna kathin banaate hain.
Isi tarah, anye baaton ke alaava, chunautipoorn paristhitiyaan aur shaaririk ya maansik bimaari se Parmeshwar ke pyaar ki hamari bhaavna dhundhali ho sakti hai. In sabhi maamlon mein, vishvasaniye netaon ya peshewaro ki salah aksar faedemand ho sakti hai. Ham apne aap se puchte hai ki Parmeshwar ke pyaar ke prati apni grahanshilta ko sudhaarne ka prayaas bhi kar sakte hain, “Kya Parmeshwar ke liye mera pyaar sthir hai ya jab mere achche din hote hain to kya main Usse prem karta hoon, lekin jab mere bure din hote hain to itna nahin?”
Dusra sachaai yah hai ki hamare paas swargiye maata-pita, ek pita aur ek maa hain.7 Swargiye Maata ka siddhaant revelation dwaara aata hai aur Antim-dino ke Santo ke beech ek vishisht vishwaas hai. President Dallin H. Oaks ne is sachchai ke mahatv ko samjhaya: “Hamara dharmavigyaan(theology) swargiye maata-pita se shuroo hota hai. Unke jaisa banna hi hamari sabse badi khvaahish hai.”8
Swarg mein Maata ke baare mein aur bahut kam bataya gaya hai, lekin ham jo jaante hain wah hamare susamachaar vishay aavedan mein paae jaane waale Gospel Library app mein sankshep mein hai.9 Ek baar jab aap padh lete hain ki waha kya hai, to aapko wah sab kuch pata chal jaega jo main is vishay ke baare mein jaanta hoon. Kaash mai aur jaanta. Aapke paas abhi bhi prashn ho sakte hain aur adhik uttar khojna chahate hain. Adhik samajh praapt karna hamare aadhyaatmik vikaas ka ek mahatvpurn hissa hai, lekin kripya saaodhaan rahein. Kaaran revelaishan ki jagah nahin le sakta.
Satta tark se adhik aadhyaatmik gyaan ki or nahin le jaega, magar eph hamein dhokha de sakta hai ya jo kuch saamne aaya hai usse hamara dhyaan hata sakta hai.10 Udhaaran ke liye, Uddhaarkarta ne Apne shishyon ko sikhaaya, “Hamesha mere naam se Pita se praathna karo.”11 Hum is pattern ka paalan karte hain aur Ishu Masih ke naam par apne Swarg ke Pita ki pooja karte hain aur Swargiye Maata se praathna nahin karte hain.11
Jab se Parmeshwar ne prophets ko niyukt kiya hai, unhen Uski or se bolne ka adhikaar diya gaya hai. Lekin weh “[apne hi] man”13 se gadhe gaye dharamsiddhaanton ka uchchaaran nahin karte hain ya jo prakat nahin kiya gaya hai use nahin sikhaate hain. Purane Niyam ke prophet Balaam ke shabdon par dhyaan dein, jise Moab ke laabh ke liye Israeliyon ko shraap dene ke liye rishvat ki peshkash ki gai thi. Balaam ne kaha, “Agar [Moab ka raaja] apna ghar chaandi aur sone se bhara hua mujhe deta hai, to main apne Prabhu Parmeshwar ke vachan ko kam ya adhik karne ke liye aage nahin badh sakta.”14 Antim-dinon ke prophets isi tarah vivash hain. Parmeshwar se revelation ki maang karna abhimaani aur anutpaadak donon hai. Iske bajaye, ham Prabhu aur Unki timetable ki pratiksha karte hain taaki Unke dwara sthaapit kiye gae maadhyamon se Unki sachchai ko prakat kiya ja sake.15
Jawaan Mahilaaen theme ke shuruaati paragraph mein teesra sach yah hai ki hamare paas “ek divye swabhaao” hai. Yah ham kaun hain iske liye aantarik hai. Yah aadhyaatmik roop se “aanuvanshik” hai, jo hamare swargiye maata-pita,16 se viraasat mein mila hai aur iske liye hamari or se kisi prayaas ki aavashyakta nahin hai. Yah hamari sabse mahatvpurn pahechan hai, bhale hi ham khud ko pahechanne ko kaise chunte hain. Is gahan sachaai ko samajhna sabhi ke liye mahatvuprn hai, lekin vishesh roop se un samuh se sambandhit vyaktiyon ke liye jo aitihaasik roop se haashiye par, utpeedit ya adhin rahe hain. Yaad rakhen ki aapki sabse mahatvapurn pahechaan Parmeshwar ki santaan ke roop mein aapke divye swabhaao se sambandhit hai.
Chautha sachaai yah hai ki hamare paas “anant niyaati” hai. Aisa niyaati ham par jabardasti nahin thela jaega. Mrityu ke baad, ham wah praapt karenge jiske liye hamne yogyta praapt ki hai aur “uska [kewal] anant niyaati jo [ham] praapt karne ke ichchuk hain.”17 Hamare anant niyaati ko saakaar karna hamare chunawon par nirbhar hai. Iske liye pavitr vachano ko banana aur rakhne ki aavashyakta hoti hai. Yeh vachan ka maarg Masih ke paas aae ki raaste hai purn sachaai aur shaashvat, aparivartaneey vyavastha par aadhaarit hai. Ham apna raasta khud nahin bana sakte aur Parmeshwar ke vaade ke mutaabik natije ki ummeed nahin kar sakte. Un shaashvat niyamon ka paalan na karte hue unke aashirvaad ki apeksha karna, jin par unhen samarpit kiya gaya hai18 gumraahi hai, jaise yah sochna ki ham ek garm choolhe ko choo sakte hain aur “nirnay” kar sakte hain ki usse jalaa nahin jae.
Aap jaante honge ki main heart failure ke mareejon ki dekhbhaal karta tha. Unke sarvottam parinaam sthaapit, saakshy-aadhaarit upchaar yojnaon ka paalan karke praapt kiye gae the. Yeh jaanne ke bauvjood, kuch marizon ne ek alag upchaar yojna par baatcheet karne ki koshish ki. Unhonne kaha, “main itni davaen nahin lena chahata” ya main itne saare anuvarti parikshanon se guzarna nahin chahata. Beshak, marizon apne nirnay lene ke liye swatantr the, lekin yadi weh ishtam upchaar yojnaon se vichlit hote hain, to unke parinaam bhugtane padte hain. Heart failure waale mariz ek nimn paathyakram nahin chun sakte hain aur phir nimn parinaamon ke liye apne hrday rog visheshagy ko dosh de sakte hain.
Hamare baare me bhi wahi sach hai. Swarg ke Pita ka nirdhaarit maarg sarvottam anant parinaamon ki or le jaata hai. Ham chunne ke liye swatantr hain, lekin ham prakat maarg ka anusaran na karne ke parinaamon ko nahin chun sakte hain.19 Prabhu ne kaha hai, “Jo kaanoon ko todta hai, aur kaanoon ka paalan nahin karta hai, lekin khud ke liye kaanoon banna chahata hai, … kaanoon dwara pavitr nahin kiya ja sakta hai, na hi daya, nyaye, aur na hi nyaye se.”20 Ham Swarg ke Pita ke maarg se vichlit nahin ho sakte hain aur phir Unhen nimn parinaamon ke liye doshi thahara sakte hain.
Jawaan Mahilaaen theme mein dusre paragraph padhta hai: “Ishu Masih ke chelapan ke roop mein, main Unke jaisa banne ka prayaas karta hoon. Mai vyaktigat revelation ko talaashti hoon aur dusron ki dekhrekh karti hoon Unke pavitra naam se.” Ham vishwaas mein kaarye karke Ishu Masih ki gawahi viksit kar sakte hain.21 Ham aadhyaatmik tofe ka daava kar sakte hain “yeh jaanne ke liye ki Ishu Masih Parmeshwar ka putr hai, aur woh duniya ke paapon ke liye krus par chadhaaya gaya tha.” Ya ham un logon ke shabdon par vishwaas karne ka uphaar praapt kar sakte hain jo jaante hain,22 jab tak ham apne liye nahin jaante. Ham Rakshak ki shikshaon ka anusaran kar sakte hain aur dusron ko Uske paas aane mein madad kar sakte hain. Is tarah, ham Unke saath Unke kaarye mein shaamil hote hain.23
Jawaan Mahilaaen theme aage kehta hai, “Mai Parmeshwar ki gawaah ban ke khadi rahungi sab samay aur sab cheezo me aur sab jagah pe.” Girjaghar ke sabhi sadasyon ko Parmeshwar ke gawaah ke rup mein zaroorat hai,24 haalaanki Devdut aur Seventies ko Masih ke naam ke vishesh gawaah ke rup mein niyukt kiya gaya hai.25 Ek soccer ka khel ki kalpana karen jismen kewal goalkeepar hi goal ki raksha karta hai. Team ke anye khilaadiyon ki madad ke bina, goalkeepar paryaapt rup se goal ka bachaav nahin kar paega aur team hamesha haaregi. Isliye bhi, Prabhu ki team mein sabhi ki zaroorat hai.26
Jawaan Mahilaaen theme ka antim paeraagraaph shuru hota hai, “Jaise ki mai prayas karti unnati paane ke kaabil hone me, mujhe pashchataap ke uphaar pasand hai aur har din sudharna chahati hoon.” Rakshak ke praeshchit balidaan ke kaaran, ham pashchataap kar sakte hain, apni galtiyon se sikh sakte hain, aur unki ninda nahin sahenge. President Russell M. Nelson ne sikhaya: “Bahut se log pashchataap ko dand ke rup mein dekhte hain. … Lekin dandit hone ki yah bhaavna Shaetaan dwara utpann ki gai hai. Woh hamen Ishu Masih ki or dekhne se rokne ki koshish karta hai, jo khuli baahon ke saath khada hai, aasha karta hai aur hamen changa karne, chama karne, shuddh karne, mazboot karne, shuddh karne aur pavitr karne ke liye taeyaar hai.”27
Jab ham imaandaari se pashchataap karte hain, to koi bhi aadhyaatmik nishaan nahin rehta hai, chaahe hamne kuch bhi kiya ho, wah kitna gambhir tha, ya kitni baar hamne ise dohraaya.28 Jitni baar ham pashchataap karte hain aur vaastavik iraade se chama maangte hain, hamen chama kiya ja sakta hai.29 Hamare Rakshak, Ishu Masih ki or se kya hi ullekhaniye uphaar hai!30 Pavitr Aatma hamen bharosa dilaata hai ki hamen chama kar diya gaya hai. Jaise hi ham aanand aur shaanti ko mehsoos karte hain,31 aparaadh bodh dur ho jaata hai,32 aur ham ab apne paapon se peedit nahin hote hain.33
Lekin, sachche man se pashchataap karne ke baad bhi, ham galti kar sakte hain. Galti hone ka matlab yeh nahin hai ki pashchataap aparyaapt tha, lekin yeh kewal maanaviye kamzori ko darsha sakta hai. Yah jaan kar kitna sukoon milta hai ki “Prabhu kamzoriyon ko vidroh(rebellion) ki tulna mein alag tarah se [dekhta] hai.” Hamen apni kamzoriyon mein hamari madad karne ke liye Uddhaarkarta ki chamta par sandeh nahin karna chahiye kyunki “Jab Prabhu kamzriyon ki baat karte hain, to wah hamesha daya ke saath hota hai.”34
Jawaan Mahilaaen theme samaapt hota hai, “Vishwaas ke saath, mai apni ghar aur parivaar ko mazboot karungi, pavitra vaado ko banaungi aur rakhungi, aur mandir ke dharam vidhiyon aur mandir ki ashirvaad ko praapt karungi.” Ghar aur parivaar ko mazboot karne ka matlab vishwaas ki ek chain mein paheli kadi banana, vishwaas ki viraasat ko aage badhana, ya ise phir sthaapit karna ho sakta hai.35 To bhi, shakti Ishu Masih mein vishwaas karne aur pavitr niyam banane ke dwara aati hai.
Mandir mein, ham sikhte hain ki ham kaun hain aur ham kaha the. Roman philosopher Cicero ne kaha, “Apke paida hone se pahale jo hua usse nazarandaaz karna hamesha ek bachche ke roop mein rahana hai.”36 Beshak, woh dharmanirapeksh itihaas ki baat kar rahe the, lekin unke suksham avalokan ka vistaar kiya ja sakta hai. Ham nirantar(perpetual) bachchon ki tarah rahte hain agar ham mandiron ke anaant drishtikon ko nazarandaaz karte hain. Waha ham Prabhu mein pale-badhe, Pavitr Aatma ki paripurnata praapt karte hain,”37 aur Rakshak ke shishyon ke rup mein puri tarah se pratibaddh ban jaate hai.38 Jab ham apni niyaamon ka paalan karte hain, to ham apne jiwan mein Parmeshwar ki shakti praapt karte hain.39
Main aapko apne jiwan ko Ishu Masih par kendrit karne aur Jawaan Mahilaaon ke heme ke buniyaadi sachchaaiyon ko yaad rakhne ke liye aamantrit karta hoon. Yadi aap raazi hain, to Pavitr Aatma aapka maargdarshan karega. Hamare Swarg ke Pita chahate hain ki aap Unke uttaraadhikaari(heir) banein aur jo kuch unke paas hai use praapt karen.40 Woh aapko aur de nahin kar sakta. Woh aapko aur vaada nahin kar sakta. Woh aapko jitna aap jaante hain usse adhik pyaar karta hai aur chahata hai ki aap is jiwan mein aur aane waale jiwan mein khush rahein. Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
