Mahima ke Raajye
Hamare paas ek pyaara Swargiye Pita hai jo dekhega ki hamen har aashirvaad aur har laabh praapt hoga jo hamari apani ichchaen aur vikalp anumati dete hain.
Ishu Masih ke Antim-dino ke sadasyon se aksar pucha jaata hai, “Aapka girjaghar anye Isaai girjagharon se kis prakaar bhinn hai?” Hamare dwara diye gae uttaron ke beech yah Ishu Masih ke siddhaant kee purnata hai. Uh siddhaant mein sabse mahatvapurn tathy yah hai ki hamare Swargiye Pita apane sabhi bachchon se itna pyaar karta hai ki woh chahata hai ki ham sabhi hamesha mahima ke raajye mein rahe. Iske alaawa, woh chahata hai ki ham Uske aur Uske Putr, Ishu Masih ke saath anant kaal tak rahen. Uski yojna ne hamen shikshaen aur chunaav karne ka avsar diya hai jo hamen niyati aur hamare dwara chune gae jeevan ka aashvaasan dega.

Aadhunik revelaishan se ham jaante hain ki prthvi par rehne waale sabhi logon ki antim niyati dharmiyon ke liye swarg aur baaki logon ke liye narak ki shaashvat peeda ka aparyaapt vichaar nahin hai. Apane bachchon ke liye Parmeshwar ki prempurn yojna mein hamare Rakshak, Ishu Masih dwara sikhai gai yah vaastavikata shaamil hai: “Mere Pita ke ghar mein kai bhavan hain.”1
Ishu Masih ke punahsthaapit Girjaghar ka prakat siddhaant sikhaata hai ki Parmeshwar ke sabhi bachche—apavaadon ko yaha par vichaar karne ke liye seemit hai— antatah gaurav ke teen raajyon mein se ek ka uttaraadhikaari hoga, yaha tak ki unamen se sabse chota bhi “sabhi samajh se pare hai. ”2 Us avadhi ke baad jisme avagyaakaari apane paapon ke liye kasht sahate hain, jo kasht unhen aage aane waali ghatanaon ke liye taeyaar karta hai, sabhi punarjeevit ho jaenge aur Prabhu Ishu Masih ke Antim Nyaaye(Final Judgement) ke liye aage badhenge Waha, hamara pyaara Rakshak, jo, hamen sikhaya jaata hai, “Pita ki badhaai karta hai, aur uske haathon ke sabhi kaaryon ko bachaata hai, ”3 Parmeshwar ke sabhi bachchon ko unki pasand ke zariye prakat ichchaon ke anusaar mahima ke in raajyon mein se ek mein bhej dega.
Punasthaapit Girjaghar ka ek aur anokha siddhaant aur abhyaas prakat aagyae aur anubandh hain jo Parmeshwar ke sabhi bachchon ko divye saamraajye mein uchchatam star ki mahima ke liye arhata praapt karne ka pavitr visheshaadhikaar pradaan karte hain. Woh uchche manzil—umang jiwan celestial raajye mein—yeh Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dino ke Santo ka phokas hai.
Aadhunik revelaishan se, Antim-dinon ke Santon ke paas Apane bachchon ke liye Parmeshwar ki khushi ki yojna ki anuthi samajh hai. Woh yojna hamare janm se pehle aatmaon ke roop mein hamare jeevan se shuru hoti hai, aur yah nashvarata mein hamari chuni hui yaatra ke uddeshye aur sthitiyon aur uske baad hamari vaanchhit niyati ko prakat karti hai.

Ham aadhunik revelaishan se jaante hain ki “sabhi raajyon mein ek kaanoon diya gaya hai ”4 aur antim nyaay mein hamen jo mahima ka raajye milta hai woh un kaanoonon dwara nirdhaarit hota hai jinhen ham apani nashvar yaatra mein palan karna chunte hain. Us prempurn yojna ke tahat, kai raajye hain—kai haveliyaan—taaki Parmeshwar ke sabhi bachchon ko mahima ka raajye viraasat mein mile jiske niyamon ka weh aaraam se “paalan” kar saken.
Jaisa ki ham Pita ki yojna mein teen raajyon mein se pratyek ki prakrti aur aavashyakataon ka varnan karte hain, ham uchchatam se shuru karte hain, jo ki divye aagyaon aur adhyaadeshon ka kendr hai jise Parmeshwar ne Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dino ke Santo ka ke maadhyam se prakat kiya hai. “Celestial” mahima mein5 teen star hain,6 jinmen se sabse uncha celestial raajye mein utkarsh hai. Yah un logon ka nivaas hai “jinhonne uski paripurnata, aur uski mahima praapt ki hai,” isliye, “weh parmeshwar hain, yaha tak ki Parmeshwar ke bete [aur betiyaan] ”7 aur “hamesha ke liye Parmeshwar aur unke Masih ki upasthiti mein hamesha hamesha ke liye rehte hain.”8 Revelaishan ke maadhyam se, Parmeshwar ne shaashvat kaanoonon, adhyaadeshon aur anubandhon ko prakat kiya hai jinka is divye kshamata ko saakaar karne ke liye aavashyak ishwariye gunon ko vikasit karne ke liye paalan kiya jaana chahiye. Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dino ke Santo ka focas hai kyonki is punahsthaapit Girjaghar ka uddeshye Parmeshwar ke bachchon ko swargiye mahima mein mukti ke liye aur vishesh roop se, iski uchchatam digree mein utthaan ke liye taeyaar karna hai.
Anant sachch par aadhaarit Parmeshwar ki yojna, ke aavashyakta hai ki pavitr mandir mein ek purush aur ek mahila ke beech shaashvat vivaah ki vaachan ke prati nishtha ke maadhyam se hi utkarsh praapt kiya ja sakta hai,9 jo vivaah antatah sabhi vaphaadaaron ke liye upalabdh hoga. Usme yeh bhi likha hai ki “purush ya aurat avashyak visheshta hai vyakti ke maranshil se pahle, maranshil aur anant jiwan ki pahchaan aur prayojan ke liye. ”10
Unnati ke liye taeyaar hone me hamari madad karne waali ek anokha mulyavaan shiksha parivaar par 1995 ki ghoshna hai.11 Iski ghoshanaen aavashyaktaon ko spasht karti hain jo hamen Pita Parmeshwar aur Unake Putr, Ishu Masih ke saath rehne ke liye taeyaar karti hain. Jo log Apane bachchon ke liye Pita ki prempurn yojna ko puri tarah se nahin samajhate hain, weh is paarivaarik ghoshana ko neeti ke ek parivartanashil bayaan se adhik kuch nahin maan sakte hain. Iski vipreet, hum pushti karte hai ki parivaarik ghoshna batawe hai nashawan ke parivaarik rishta maango raho jahan hamare anant badhanti ka sabse zaroori kaarye hoga.
Apostal Paul ne mahima ki teen digree ka varnan kiya hai, aur unki tulna soorye, chandrama aur sitaaron ki mahima se ki hai.12 Woh sarvochch ko “celestial” aur doosare ko “terrestrial.” naam deta hai.13 Woh nimnatam ka naam nahin batata hai, lekin Joseph Smith ke revelaishan mein iska naam joda gaya hai: “telestial.”14 Woh revelaishan pratyek ko saumpe jaane waale vyaktiyon ki prakrti ka bhi varnan karta hai. Jo log “divy raajy ke kaanoon ka paalan karana nahin chunte hain ”15 unhen mahima ka ek aur raajye viraasat mein milega, jo ki divye se kam hai lekin unke dwara chune gae kaanoonon ke anukool hai aur aaraam se “paalan” kar sakta hai. Woh shabd, jo palaandharamshaastra mein bahut prachalit hai, ka arth surakshit sthaan hai.16 Udhaaran ke liye, sthaleey raajye ke log—swarg ki lokpriye avadhaarana ki tulna mein —“kya weh Putr ki upasthiti ko praapt karte hain, lekin Pita ki purnata ko nahin.”17 Weh “prthvee ke aadarniye purush the, jo manushyon ki chaalaaki se andhe ho gae the,”18 lekin “Ishu ki gawahi mein bahaadur nahin the ”19
Mahima ke sabse niche mahima raajye, telestial, ko saumpe gae logon ka khulaasa karne vaala varnan “vah hai jo terrestial mahima … ka paalan nahin kar sakata.”20 Yah un logon ka varnan karta hai jo Rakshak ko aswikaar karte hain aur unhonne apane vyavahaar par koi divye seema nahin dekhi hai. Yah woh raajye hai jaha dusht log apane paapon ke liye kasht uthaane ke baad rahate hain. Inhen aadhunik revelaishan mein is prakaar varnit kiya gaya hai, “jinhonne na to Masih ka susamaachaar praapt kiya, na hi Ishu ki gawahi.
Ye wahi hain jo jhoothe hain, aur jaadugar, aur parastreegaamiyon, aur vaybhichaari, aur jo jhooth se prem rakhate aur jhooth bolate hain.”21
Aapki bhavishyasuchak drshti se mahima ke teen raajyon ke baare mein bolte hue, President Russell M. Nelson ne haal hi mein likha: “Anant kaal ki tulna mein nashvar jeevankaal bahut sankshipt hota hai. Lekin yah kitna mahatvapurn nainosekand hai! Dhyaan se vichaar karen ki yah kaise kaam karta hai: Is nashvar jeevan ke dauraan aapako yah chunna hai ki aap kin kaanoonon ka paalan karna chahate hain—celestial raajye ke, ya terrestial, ya telestial ke—aur isliye, aap kis mahima ke raajye mein hamesha rahenge. Kya yojna hai! Yah ek aisi yojna hai jo aapki ejensi ka puri tarah se sammaan karti hai.”22
III.
Apostal Paul ne sikhaaya ki Prabhu ki shikshaen aur aagyaen isliye di gai thi taaki ham sabhi “Masih ki purnata ke kad ka maap praapt kar saken.”23 Us prakriya ke liye gyaan praapt karne se kahi adhik ki aavashyakta hoti hai. Susamaachaar ke yakeen karnewaale hona bhi paryaapt nahin hai; hamen kaarye karna chahiye taaki ham iske dwara parivartit parivartit ho jaen. Anye upadeshon ke vipareet, jo hamen kuch jaanana sikhaata hai, Ishu Masih ka susamaachaar hamen kuch banne ke liye chunauti deta hai.
Aisi shikshaon se hum samaapt karte hai Antim Nyaye(Final Judgement) sirf ek antim ginti nahin hai achche aur bure karmon ka—humne kya kiya hai. Yeh hamare kriyaaon aur vichaaron ke antim prabhaao par aadhaarit hai—hum kya ban gaye hai. Ham anant jiwan ke yogye hain badlaao.ki prakriya ke maadhyam se Jaisa ki yaha prayog kiya gaya hai, anek arthon vaala yah shabd prakrti ka ek gehra parivartan. Yeh paryaapt nahi hai ki isake baare mein soche bina kuch karana. Susmachaar ki aagyaen, adhyaadesh aur anubandh kisi swargiye khaate mein jama karane ke liye aavashyak jamaon ki suchi nahin hain. Ishu Masih ka susamaachaar ek yojna hai jo hamen dikhaati hai ki ham woh kaise banen jo hamare Swargiye Pita chahate hain ki ham banen.24
IV.
Ishu Masih aur Unke Praeshchit ke karan, jab ham is jeevan mein asaphal ho jaate hain, to ham pashchaataap kar sakte hain aur us anubandhit maarg mein phir se shaamil ho sakte hain jo hamare Swargiye Pita ki hamare lie ichchha ki or le jaata hai.
Mormon Dharamshaastr sikhawe hai, “Ih jiwan Parmeshwar se mile ke taeyaari kare ke kostin hai.”25 Lekin “is jeevan” ki us chunautipurn seema ko ek aashaapurn sandarbh diya gaya (kam se kam kuch had tak kuch vyaktiyon ke liye) jo Prabhu ne President Joseph F. Smith ko bataya, jo ab darj kiya gaya hai Doctrine and Covenants section 138. “Mainne dekha,” profat ne likha, “ ki is vyavastha ke waphaadaar bujurg, jab weh nashvar jeevan se prasthaan karte hain, to Parmeshwar ke Eklauta Putr ke balidaan ke maadhyam se, pashchaataap aur mukti ke susamaachaar ke prachaar mein apana shram jaari rakhate hain. jo mrtakon ki aatmaon ki mahan duniya mein andhakaar mein aur paap ke bandhan mein hain.
“Jo mrit log pashchaataap karte hai, use Parmeshwar ke ghar ke dharamvidhiyon ka paalan karate hue, mukti diya jaega,
“Aur jab ve apane aparaadhon ke dand ka bhugataan kar chuke hain, aur saaph-suthare hain, to unhen unke kaamon ke anusaar inaam milega, kyonki ve uddhaar ke vaaris hain.”26
Iske alaava, ham jaante hain ki Sahasraabdee(mileniyam), Rakshak ke Dusre Aagaman ke baad aane vaale hajaar varsh, un logon ke liye aavashyak adhyaadeshon ko pura karne ka samay hoga jinhonne unhen apane maransheel jeevan mein praapt nahin kiya hai.27
Uddhaar ki yojna ke teen pramukh avadhiyon aur unke ek dusre se rishta ke baare me ham bahut kuch nahin jaante hain: (1) maransheel aatma ki duniya, (2) maransheelta, aur (3) agala jeevan. Lekin ham in anaant sachchaiyon ko jaante hain: “Uddhaar ek vyaktigat maamala hai, lekin utthaan ek paarivaarik maamala hai Uddhaar akele hi paa sakte hai, par unnati pariwaar ke saath paana hai.”28 Hamare paas ek pyaara Swargiye Pita hai jo dekhega ki hamen har aashirvaad aur har laabh praapt hoga jo hamari apani ichchaen aur vikalp anumati dete hain. Ham yah bhi jaanate hain ki Woh kisi ko bhi uski ichcha ke viruddh sambandh banaane ke liye baadhy nahin karega. Ek sealed rishte ka aashirvaad un sabhi ke liye sunishchit kiya jaata hai jo apane anubandhon ka paalan karate hain, lekin kisi anye vyakti jo ayogye ya anichchuk hai, us par sealed rishte ko thopane se kabhi nahin.
Mere pyaare bhaiyon aur bahanon, Main in baaton ki sachchai ki gawai deta hoon. Main hamare Prabhu Ishu Masih ki gawahi deta hoon, “hamare vishwaas ke lekhak aur samaapanakarta, ”29 jiska Praeshchit, hamare Swargiye Pita ki yojna ke tahat, Ishu Masih ke naam par, amen.
