Ubharati Peedhi mein Anubandhit Logon ki Awaaz ko Surakshit Rakhna
Hamari sabae pavitr zimmedaariyon mein se ek hai apane bachchon ko gehrai se aur vishesh roop se yah jaanane mein madad karna ki Ishu Masih hain.
Mormon Dharamshaastra mein sabse baaovsheel mauke mein se ek hai punarjeevit Rakshak ke Bountiful mein mandir mein logon se mulaakaat ke. Ek din ki shiksha, upchaar aur vishwaas nirmaan ke baad, Ishu ne logon ka dhyaan badhati pidhi ki or aakarshit kiya: “Usane aagya di ki unke bachchon ko laaya jae.”1 Usne unke liye prarthana ki aur ek-ek karke unhen aashirvaad diya. Anubhav itna maarmik tha ki Rakshak svayan kai baar roya.
Phir Ishu ne bheed se kaha,
“Apne chote bachchon ko dekho
“Aur jab unhonne drshti ki ,,, to unhonne swarg ko khula hua dekha, aur unhonne swargduton ko swarg se utarate dekha,” apane bachchon ko upadesh dete hue.2
Mainne aksar is anubhav ke baare mein socha hai. Isse har vyakti ka hrday dayaa se bhara tha! Unhonne Rakshak ko dekha. Unhonne Use mehsoos kiya. Woh Unhe pehchaane. Usne unhe sikhaya. Usne unhe ashirvaad diya. Aur Usne unse pyaar jataya. Ismen koi aashcharye ki baat nahin hai ki is pavitr ghatna ke baad, ye bachche shaanti, samrddhi aur Masih-jaise prem waale samaaj ki sthaapna mein madad karane ke liye bade hue jo peedhiyon tak bana rahata hai.3
Kya yah adbhut nahin hoga yadi hamare bachchon ko Ishu Masih ke saath waisa hi anubhav ho sake—kuch aisa jo unke dilon ko unke saath baandh de! Woh hamen aamantrit karta hai, jaise Usne Mormon Dharamshaastr mein un maata-pita ko aamantrit kiya tha, ki ham apane chote bachchon ko Unke paas laaen. Ham unhen unke Rakshak aur Muktidaata ko jaanne mein usi tarah madad kar sakte hain jaise in bachchon ne kiya. Ham unhen dikha sakte hain ki dharamshaastr mein Rakshak ko kaise khoja jaae aur us par apani neev kaise banai jaae.4
Haal hi mein, ek achche dost ne mujhe us buddhimaan vyakti ke drshtaant ke baare mein kuch sikhaya jo mainne pehle nahin dekha tha jisne ek chattaan par apana ghar banaya tha. Luke ke vrttaant ke anusaar, jab buddhimaan vyakti ne apane ghar ki neev rakhi, to usne “gehra khoda.”5 Yah koi aakasmik ya saadhaaran prayaas nahin tha—isake liye prayaas karna pada!
Hamare woh chattan jo hamare Muktidaata, Ishu Masih par apana jeevan banane ke liye, hamen gehrai se khudai karne ki aavashyakata hai. Ham apane jeevan se woh sab kuch hata dete hain jo asthir ya anaavashyak hai. Ham tab tak khodte rahate hain jab tak hamen Woh nahin mil jaata. Aur ham apane bachchon ko pavitr adhyaadeshon aur anubandhon ke maadhyam se khud ko Uske saath baandhana sikhaate hain, taaki jab vipakshi tuphaan aur baadh aaen, jaisa ki weh nishchit roop se aaenge, to unaka un par bahut kam prabhaav padega “chattaan ke karan jis par [weh] bane hain.”6
Is tarah ki taakat yoo hi nahin ban jaate. Ise aadhyaatmik viraasat ki tarah agali peedhi tak nahin pahunchaya jaata. Chattaan ko khojne ke liye pratyek vyakti ko gehri khudai karni hogi.
Hum Mormon Dharamshaastr me ih paath sikha hai. Jab Raaja Benjamin ne apane logon ko apana antim sambodhan diya, to weh unke shabdon ko sunne ke liye parivaaron ke roop mein ekatrit hue.7 Raaja Benjamin ne Ishu Masih ki sashakt gawahi di aur log uski gawahi se bahut prabhaavit hue. U long ghoshna ki:
“Aatma ne hamein, ya hamare hrdayon mein ek shaktishaali parivartan kiya hai.
“ Aur hum apne Parmeshwar ke aagya ka paalan karne ka wada kartein hain, hamari sabhi bache din.”8
Koi ummeed kar sakta hai ki aise gehrai se parivartit maata-pita waale chote bachche antatah parivartit ho jaenge aur svayan anubandh banaenge. Aur phir bhi, rikord mein ullikhit kisi karan se, maata-pita dwara ki gai vaachan ko unake kuch bachchon par asar nahin pada. Kai varshon baad, “ubharati pidhi mein se kai aise the jo Raaja Benjamin ke shabdon ko nahin samajh sakte the, kyonki us samay weh chote bachche the jab unhonne apane logon se baat ki thi; aur unhonne apane purakhaon ki parampara par vishwaas nahin kiya.
Unhonne mare huon ke punarutthaan ke vishay mein kahi gai baaton par vishwaas nahin kiya, na hi unhonne Masih ke aagaman ke vishay mein vishwaas kiya. …
“Aur weh bapatisma na lenge; na hi weh girjaghar mein shaamil honge. Aur weh apane vishwaas ke anusaar ek alag log the.”9
Kitna gambheer vichaar hai! Badhati peedhi ke liye, Ishu Masih mein vishwaas ke liye “unake purvajon ki parampara” hona hi paryaapt nahin hai. Unhen apane liye Masih mein vishwaas rakhane ki aavashyakata hai. Parmeshwar ke anubandhit logon ke roop mein, ham apane bachchon ke dilon mein Uske saath vachan banaane aur nibhaane ki ichcha kaise paida kar sakte hain?
Ham Nephi ke udhaaran ka anusaran karke shuruaat kar sakte hain: “Hum Masih ke charcha karte, hum Masih me anandith hote, hum logon ke Masih ke vishay me updesh dete, hum Masih ke vishay me bhavishyevaani karte hai, aur hum apan bhavishyevaani ke anusaar likhte hai ki hum log ke santaan ih jaane sake ki veh apan paapo ke chama ke liye kahan dekhe.”10 Nephi ke shabd hamare bachchon ko Masih ke baare mein sikhaane ke nirantar, lagataar prayaas ka sanket dete hain. Ham yah sunishchit kar sakte hain ki ubharati peedhi ke kaanon mein vaachan ke logon ki aavaaz khaamosh na ho aur Ishu kewal Ravivaar ka vishay nahin hai.11
Vaachan ke logon ki aavaaz hamari gawahi ke shabdon mein paai jaati hai. Yeh jiwit profats ke shabdon mein paaya jaata hai. Aur yah dharamshaastr mein sashakt roop se sanrakshit hai. Yahi par hamare bachche Ishu ko jaanenge aur apane sawalon ke jawaab paenge. Yahi par weh khud hi Masih ka siddhaant sikhenge. Yahin unhein aasha milegi. Yeh unhen jeevan bhar sachchai ki khoj karne aur vachanbadh maarg par jeene ke liye taeyaar karega.
Mujhe President Russell M. Nelson ki yah salaah bahut pasand hai:
“Hum kahan sakta jaawe Uske sune ke liye?
“Ham log sakta hai dharamshaastr padhe. Yah hame sikhaae hai Ishu Masih aur Unke susamachaar, Unke Praeschit ke parimaan, aur hamaare Pita ke khushyaali aur mukti ke yojna ke baare me. Parmeshwar ke shabd ke dainik padne aadhyaatmik astitv ke liye mahatvapoorn hai, khaasakar in dinon ke badhati bhaari badlaao me. Jaise jaise ham Masiha ke shabdon ke khoob padhega, Masiha ke shabd hamlog ke bataai kaise kathinaiyon ke pratikriya karo jon hamlog kabhi socha nahin raha ki saamna karega.”12
To Masih ke shabdon ka aanand lena aur Usse sunna kaisa lagta hai? Achcha, aisa lagta hai ki jo bhi aapake liye sabse achcha kaam karega! Ho sakta hai ki yah aapke parivaar ke saath un cheejon ke baare mein baat karne ke liye ekatrit ho jo Pavitr Aatma ne aapko aapke dharmgranth adhyayan mein Come, Follow Me ka upyog karke sikhai thee. Ho sakta hai ki aap har din apane bachchon ke saath ikattha hokar dharmshaastr se kuch shlok padhen aur phir ek saath samay bitaakar aapane jo sikha hai us par charcha karane ke avasaron ki talaash karen. Bas yah khojen ki aapke aur aapke parivaar ke liye kya kaaragar hai phir har din thoda behtar karne ka prayaas karen.
Teaching in the Savior’s Way se is antardrshti par vichaar karen: “Vyaktigat roop se liya jae to, ek gharelu shaam, dharmagranth adhyayan satr, ya susamaachaar vaartaalaap aisa prateet nahin ho sakta hai ki yah bahut kuch haasil kar raha hai. Lekin samay ke saath lagaataar doharae gae chote, saral praeson ka sanchay, kabhi-kabhaar hone vaale smaarakeey kshan ya aitihaasik paath ki tulna mein adhik shaktishaali aur majaboot ho sakta hai. Isliye haar na maanen, aur har baar kuch bada haasil karne ki chinta na karen. Bas apane koshishon mein nirantarata rakhe.”13
Hamari sabae pavitr zimmedaariyon mein se ek hai apane bachchon ko gehrai se aur vishesh roop se yah jaanane mein madad karna ki Ishu Masih hain, jeevit Parmeshwar ke Putr, unake vyaktigat Rakshak aur Muktidaata, jo Unke Girjaghar ke pramukh hain! Jab Uski baat aatee hai to ham apani anubandhit aawaaj ko mand ya shaant nahin hone de sakte.
Aap is bhoomika mein thoda aparyaapt mehsoos kar sakte hain, lekin aapko kabhi bhi akela mehsoos nahin karna chahyie. Udhaaran ke liye, ward parishaden abhibhaavakon ke liye shikshak parishad ki baithaken aayojit karne ke liye adhikrt hain. In trai-maasik(quarterly) baithakon mein, maata-pita ek-dusre ke anubhavon se sikhane ke liye ekatrit ho sakte hain, charcha kar sakte hain ki weh apane parivaaron ko kaise majaboot kar rahe hain, aur Masih jaisee shiksha ke pramukh siddhaanton ko seekh sakte hain. Yah baithak girjaghar ke dusre ghante mein chahiye.14 Iska netrtv bishap dwara chune gae ek vaard sadasye dwara kiya jaata hai aur praathamik sansaadhan ke roop mein Teaching in the Savior’s Wayka upayog karte hue niyamit shikshak parishad ki baethakon ke praaroop ka palan kiya jaata hai. 15 Bishaps, yadi aapaka ward vartamaan mein maata-pita ke liye shikshak parishad ki baethaken aayojit nahin kar raha hai, to svayan ko vyavasthit karane ke liye apane Sunday School adhyaksh aur ward parishad ke saath kaam karen.16
Masih mein mere priye mitron, aap jitna sochte hain usse kahi behtar kar rahe hain. Bas is par kaam karte raho. Aapake bachche dekh rahe hain, sun rahe hain aur seekh rahe hain. Jaise-jaise aap unhen padhaenge, aapko Parmeshwar ke pyaare bete aur betiyon ke roop mein unke vaastavik svaroop ka pata chalega. Weh kuch samay ke liye Rakshak ko bhool sakte hain, lekin main aapse vaada karta hoon Woh unhen kabhi nahin bhulega! Weh kshan jab Pavitr Aatma unse baat karta hai weh unke dil aur dimaag mein bane rahenge. Aur ek din aapke bachche Enos ki gawahi dohraenge: “Main jaanta hoon ki mere maata-pita nyaayee hainkyonki “ unhonne mujhe Prabhu ke paalan-poshan aur chetaavani mein sikhaya hai—aur isake liye mere Parmeshwar ka naam dhanye hai.”17
Hume Rakshak ka nimantran Uske paas jaane ka ko swikaar karna chahiye aur hamare bachchon ko Uske paas lao. Jaise hi ham aisa karenge, weh Usse dekhenge. Weh Use mehsoos karenge. Weh Use janenge. Woh unhen padhaega. Woh unhen aashirvaad dega. Aur oh, Woh unse kitna prem karega. Oh, main Us se kithna pyaar karti hu. Unke pavitra naam se, Ishu Masih, amen.
