Hamaare Jiwan Mein Har Din Ishu Masih kee Shakti
Mujhe pataa chala hai ki us taakat ka srot(source) Ishu Masih mein vishvaas hai kyonki Ham har din uske paas aana chaahate hain.
Mere pyare bhaiyon aur bahanon, yah hai Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dino ke Santo ka. Kithnee kushi kee baat hai ki ham sab Unki Girjaghar mein ikkatha hue hai. Main aabhaaree hoon ki President Russell M. Nelson ne hamen aksar Prabhu ke Girjaghar ke sahee naam ka upyog karne kee yaad dilaee hai taaki hamen yaad rahe ki yah kiska Girjaghar hai aur ham kiskee shikshaon ka paalan karte hain.
President Nelson ne kaha hain: “Aane vaale dino mein, ham Uddhaarakarta kee shaktikee sabse badee abhivyakti dekhenge jo duniya ne kabhee dekhee hain. … Vah vishvaas yogye logon ko anginat visheshaadhikaar, aasheervaad aur chamatkaar pradaan karega.”1
Mere aur meree patnee Renee ke liye sabse bade visheshaadhikaaron aur avsaron mein se ek un santon se milna hai jahaan ham seva karte hain. Ham unke kahaniyan sunte hain, ham unke nuksaan ko dekhte hain, ham unke dukho ko baatthe hai, aur ham unkee saphalta se khush hote hain. Hamne kaee aasheervaad aur chamatkaar dekhe hain jo Uddhaarakarta ne vaphaadaaron ko diye hain. Ham aise logon se mile hain jo asambhav se guzare hain, jinhon ne naa sochne vaali peeda jhelee hain.
Hamne ek vidhva mein Uddhaarakarta kee shakti ka prakateekaran dekha hai, jisne Bolivia mein Prabhu ke kaarye ke dauraan apne pati ko kho diya tha.2 Hamne ise Argentina kee ek yuva mahila mein dekha hai, jise ek train ke neeche dhakka de diya gaya tha aur usne apna pair kho diya tha, sirph isliye kyonki koee uska mobile churaana chaahata tha.3 Aur uske ek he pita mein, jise ab kroorata ke aise aspasht krty ke baad tukdon ko uthaana hoga aur apnee betee ko majboot karna hoga. Hamne ise un parivaaron mein dekha hai jinhon ne krismas 2022 se theek do din pahale Chile mein aag ke dauraan apne ghar aur saaree sampatti kho dee thee.4 Hamne ise un logon mein dekha hai jo ek dardanaak talaak ke baad peedit hain aur un logon mein jo durvyavahaar ke nirdosh shikaar(victims of abuse) hain.
Unhe is kathin paristheethi se guzarne kee taakat kya deta hain? Jab sab kuchh kho gaya ho to aage badhne ke liye taakat kya detee hai?
Mujhe pataa chala hai ki us taakat ka srot(source) Ishu Masih mein vishvaas hai kyonki Ham har din uske paas aana chaahate hain.
Prophet Jacob sikhaata hai, “Aur vah sansaar mein isliye aata hai ki vah sabhee manushyon ko bacha sake yadi ve uskee aavaaz sunenge; kyonki dekho, vah sabhee manushyon ke dard ko sahan karta hai, haan, har jeevit praanee ke dard ko, chaahe purush, mahila aur bachche, jo aadam ke parivaar se hain.”5
Kabhee kabhee, Ishu Masih mein vishvaas rakhna asambhav hain, lagbhag na mumkin jaisa lag sakta hai. Ham soch sakte hain ki Masih ke paas aane ke liye taakat, shakti aur poornata kee aavashyakata hai jo hamaare paas nahin hai, aur ham yah sab ke liye oorja(energy) nahin pa sakte hain. Lekin in sabhee logon se main ne jo seekha hai vah yah hai ki Ishu Masih mein vishvaas hee hamen yaatra shuroo karne kee oorja deta hai. Kabhee kabhee ham sochte hai, “Mujhe Ishu ke paas aane se pahele apni zindagi ko mein sudhaar laana hain,” lekin sachchaee yah hai ki ham Ishu ke paas apne jeevan ko theek karne ke liye aate hain.
Ham Ishu ke paas isliye nahin aate kyonki ham paripoorn hain. Ham uske paas isliye aate hain kyonki ham men trutiyaan(flawed) hain aur ham usmen “siddh ho sakte hain.”6
Ham har din thoda sa vishvaas kaise karna shuroo karen? Mere liye subhh ki shurat hoti hain: jab main jaagta hu, apne fone ko dekhne ke bajaay, main praarthna karta hoon. Yaha tak kee saadhaaran prarthna. Phir main dharamshastra padta hu. Is se mujhe meree saaptaahik covenant mein madad miltee hai jise main sanskaar mein bhaag lete samay leta hoon “hamesha use yaad karo.”7 Jab main apne din kee shuruat ek prarthna aur dharanshastra ke saath shuru karta hu, jab main apne fone ko dekhta hoon to main use “yaad” kar sakta hoon. Jab main samasyaon aur sangharshon ka saamana karata hoon to main “use yaad kar sakata hoon” aur Ishu kee tarah unka saamna karne kee koshish karta hoon.
Jab main “use yaad karta hoon,” to mujhe badalne kee, pashchaataap karne kee ichchha mahasoos hotee hai. Main apne anubandhon ko banae rakhne ke liye oorja ka srot dhoondhata hoon, aur main apne jeevan mein pavitr aatma ke prabhaav ko mahasoos karta hoon “aur uskee aagyaon ka paalan karta hoon jo usne [mujhe] dee hain; ki [mujh] mein hamesha uskee aatma rahe.”8 Vah mujhe ant tak jaane mein madad karta hain.9 Ya kam se kam din ke ant tak! Aur un dinon mein jab main poore din use yaad karane mein asaphal rahata hoon, vah abhee bhee vahaan hai, mujhse pyaar karta hai aur mujhase kahata hai, “yah theek hai; aap kal punah prayaas kar sakate hain.”
Yadyapi ham use yaad karne mein apoorn(imperfect) hain, hamaara pyaara Svargeey Pita hamen yaad karne mein kabhee asaphal nahin hota.
Galtiyon mein se ek jo ham aksar karte hain vah yah sochna hai ki ham anubandhon, ya Parmeshwar se kiye gae vaadon ko nibhaate hain, yah kisee tarah ek trasaction hai jo ham uske saath karte hain: main aagya ka paalan karta hoon, aur vah mere saath hone vaalee kisee bhee buree ghatna se meree raksha karta hai. Main apna ithing chukaata hoon, aur main apnee naukree kabhee nahin khounga ya aag mere ghar ko nahin jalaayegee. Lekin tab jab cheezen hamaaree ummeed ke mutaabik nahin hoteen, ham bhagvaan ke paas rote hain, “Too iskee chinta mat karna ki main nasht ho jaoon?”10
Hamaaree sanvidaen keval transactional sambandhee nahin hain; ve parivartanakaaree(transformational) hain.11 Apne anubandhon ke maadhyam se mujhe Ishu Masih kee pavitr, majboot karne vaalee shakti praapt hotee hai, jo mujhe ek naya vyakti ban ne, jo akshamy lagta hai use maaph karne, asambhav par kaaboo paane kee anumati detee hai. Ishu Masih ko yaad karna hamesha taakatwar hain; is se mujhe atirikt taakat miltee hai “uskee aagyaon ka paalan karo jo usne mujhe dee hai.”12 Yah mujhe achchha ban ne, bina kisee kaaran muskuraane, shaantidoot ban ne mein madad karta hain,13 sangharsh se bachne ke liye, Bhagvaan ko mere jeevan mein prabal hone dene ke liye.14
Jab hamaara dard ya kisee pyare ka dard itna adhik ho ki ham use sahan nahin kar saken, to Ishu Masih ko yaad karna aur unke paas aana bojh ko halka kar sakta hai, dil ko naram kar sakta hai aur dard ko kam kar sakta hai. Yah vah shakti hai jisne ek pita ko apnee betee ko pair khone ke shaareerik aur bhaavanaatmak dard se ubarne mein apnee praakrtik kshamata se pare saksham banaaya hain.
Jab Elder Soares ne pichhale June mein Argentina ka daura kiya aur Flavia se uske dukhad durghatana ke baare mein poochha, to usne eemaanadaaree se uttar diya, “Jab [yah hua] to main ne uthal-puthal, kadavaahat(bitterness), krodh aur naphrat ka anubhav kiya. Jis cheez se mujhe madad milee vah yah poochhna nahin tha ki main hee kyon? balki kisliye? Yah kuchh aisa tha jo mujhe doosron aur Bhagvaan ke kareeb laaya thaa. … Unse door jaane ke bajay, Mujhe us se judna thaa.”15
President Nelson ne sikhaaya hai: “Bhagvaan ke saath covenants nibhaane ka pratiphal svargeey shakti hai—vah shakti jo hamen apne pareekshanon, pralobhanon aur dil ke dard ko behatar dhang se jhelne ke liye majboot kartee hai. Is prakaar, covenant ke paalan karta ek vishesh prakaar ke aaraam ke hakdaar hain.”16 Is prakaar kee shaanti aur aaraam main ne vidhva kee aankhon mein dekha, har din apne pati ko yaad karne ke dukh ke baavjood.
Naya Niyam hamen us samay ke baare Mein bataata hai jab Ishu aur unke shishy ek jahaaj par the:
“Aur badee aandhee uthee, aur laharen jahaaj se takraane lageen. …
“Aur vah thaa … takiye par sote hue: aur unhone use jagaya, aur usse kaha, Maalik, too iskee chinta mat kar ki ham nasht ho jaayen?
“Aur voh jagha, aur pavan ko phatkaara, aur samudr se kaha, shaanti rahe. …
“Aur unhone unse kaha, Tumlog ithne darte kyon ho? aisa kaise hai ki tumhen vishvaas nahin hai?”17
Mujhe is kahaanee mein hamesha dilachaspee rahee hai. Kya Bhagvaan ne unse apeksha kee thee ki ve toophaan ko shaant karne ke liye apne vishvaas ka upyog karenge? Havaon ko phatkaarne ke liye? Ishu Masih mein vishvaas toophaan ka saamna karne ke liye shaanti kee bhaavna hai, yah jaante hue ki ham nasht nahin honge kyonki vah hamaare saath jahaaj mein hai.
Is prakaar ka vishvaas hamne tab dekha jab ham Chile mein aag lagne ke baad parivaaron se milne gae. Unke ghar jalakar raakh ho gaye the; unhon ne sab kuchh kho diya tha. Phir bhee jab ham vahaan chal rahe the jo unke ghar hua karte the aur ve hamen apne anubhavon ke baare mein bata rahe the, to hamen laga ki ham pavitr bhoomi par khade hain. Ek bahan ne meri patnee se kaha, “Dekha to aaspaas ke ghar jal rahe the, mujhe lag raha tha ki hamaara ghar jalne vaala hai, ham sab kuchh khone vaale hain. Hataasha ke bajaay, mujhe avarnaneey(indescribable) shaanti kee anubhooti huee. Kisee tarah, mujhe laga ki sab kuchh theek ho jaega. Bhagvaan par bharosa karna aur uske saath apne covenants ka paalan karna hamaaree kamzoree mein shakti aur hamaare duhkh mein aaraam laata hai.
Main is avsar ke liye aabhaaree hoon ki Renee aur mujhe vishvaas, shakti aur drdhata ke kaee Udaaharanon ke liye in asaadhaaran santon mein se kuchh se milne ka mauka mila. Dil tootne aur niraasha kee kahaaniyon ke liye jo shaayad kabhee akhbaar ka pahala panna nahin banengee ya kabhee viral nahin hongee. Un tasveeron ke liye jo kisee nuksaan ya dardanaak talaak ke baad bahae gae aansuon aur kee gaee praarthanaon kee nahin lee jaatee hain, aur un poston ke liye jo kabhee bhee bhay, duhkh aur us dard kee nahin banaee jaatee hain jo Ishu Masih mein unke vishvaas ke kaaran sahaneey ho jaata hai aur uska praayashchit. Ye log mere apne vishvaas ko majboot karte hain aur iske liye main bahut aabhaaree hoon.
Main jaanta hoon ki yah Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar hain. Main jaanta hoon ki yadi ham pratidin uske paas aaen to vah hamen apnee shakti pradaan karne ke liye taiyaar hai. Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
