Aatma ka Prerna

Elder Gary E. Stevenson dwara

Barah Devduton ke Quorum Ke

Pavitr Aatma ka nirantar saahachary sabse mahaan aadhyaatmik uphaaron mein se ek hai jiska Antim-dinon ke Sant aanand lete hain.

Parichay

Haal hee mein, khel jagat kee nigaahen Australia aur New Zealand kee mejbaanee mein hone vaale 2023 Mahila Vishv Kap par tikee hain. Duniya bhar se 200 se adhik raashtreey teemon ka pratinidhitv karne vaale vishv World-class athletes ne soccer jagat ke sarvochch sammaan ke liye pratispardha karte hue apane dhairy, samarpan, pratibha aur athleticism ka pradarshan kiya.

Ham anek khelon aur any vidhaon mein apnee kala ka uchchatam star haasil karne vaale kalaakaaron ko dekhkar aashcharyachakit hain. Ham baat karte hain unkee Parmeshwar pradatt pratibhaon ya upahaaron ke baare mein. Ismen nrty, gymnastics, sangeet(music), kala(art), naatak(drama), ganit(mathmetics), vigyaan(science), aur any kshetron mein pratibhaashaalee log shaamil hain. Aisa pratyek vyakti Parmeshwar pradatt upahaaron ko pradarshit karta hai jinhen jeevan bhar kee kadee mehanat, adhyayan aur abhyaas dvaara parishkrt aur parishkrt kiya jaata hai. Parmeshwar pradatt upahaar logon ko pratibhaashaalee banaate hain.

Aadhyaatmik Ppahaaron ka Prayog

Ek susamaachaar lens ke maadhyam se dekh rahe hain, Parmeshwar Apne bachchon ko kaee aadhyaatmik upahaar dete hain, jis se ve aadhyaatmik roop se pratibhaashaalee log ban jaate hain. Giraghar ke vachan-paalan karne vaale sadasyon ko aatma ke upahaar diye jaate hain, jis men hamaare Rakshak ke roop mein Ishu Masih kee gawahi ka upahaar shaamil hai, Aavitr aatma ka upahaar, changa karne aur changa hone ke liye vishvaas ka upahaar, vivek ka upahaar, chamatkaar praapt karne ka upahaar, aur buddhi aur gyaan ka upahaar.¹ Prabhu hamen eemaanadaaree se sarvottam upahaar, yahaan tak ki aadhyaatmik upahaar bhee khojne ke liye aamantrit karte hain. Vah hamen aasheervaad dene aur doosron ko aasheervaad dene ke liye aadhyaatmik upahaar deta hai.²

Pratibhaashaalee kalaakaaron kee hamaaree saadrshyata par lautate hue, yah yaad rakhna mahatvapoorn hai ki keval ek upahaar koee mastar nahin bana sakta. Asaadhaaran praakrtik pratibha ke baavajood, yah shramasaadhy aur shramasaadhy abhyaas aur prayaas ke maadhyam se hai ki kalaakaar apnee kala ko uchchatam star kee kalaatmakata tak pahunchane ke liye nikhaarte aur nikhaarte hain. Yahaan tak ki praapt kiye gae aur bina lapte gae upahaaron ke saath bhee aksar daraavnee bhaasha likhee jaatee hai “kuchh sabha kee aavashyakata hai.”

Isee tarah, main ne aadhyaatmik upahaaron se juda ek seekhne ka daur dekha hai. Aadhyaatmik upahaaron ka abhyaas karne ke liye aadhyaatmik abhyaas kee aavashyakata hotee hai. “Aapke jeevan mein Pavitr Aatma ka maargadarshan praapt karne ke liye aadhyaatmik kaary kee aavashyakata hotee hai. Is kaary mein utkat praarthana aur nirantar dharmagranth adhyayan shaamil hai. Ismen aapke anubandhon aur Parmeshwar kee aagyaon ka paalan karna bhee shaamil hai. … Ismen pratyek saptaah sekrament mein uchit roop se bhaag lena shaamil hai.”³

Aadhyaatmik upahaaron ka prayog karne ka phal kya hai? Unmen aatma se preranaen shaamil hain jo hamen hamaaree dainik zarooraton ka saamna karne mein madad kartee hain aur hamen dikhaatee hain ki kya karna hai aur kya kahna hai—shaanti aur aaraam ka aasheervaad. Jaise hee ham aadhyaatmik preranaon ko sunte hain aur un par kaary karte hain,Ppavitr Aatma hamaaree yogyataon aur kshamataon ko itna badha detee hai ki ham svayan jo kar sakte hain us se kaheen adhik. Ye anmol aadhyaatmik uphaar hamaare jeevan ke har pahaloo mein hamaaree madad karenge.⁴

Pavitr Aatma ka nirantar saahachary sabse mahaan aadhyaatmik uphaaron mein se ek hai jiska Antim-dinon ke Sant aanand lete hain.

Kithna zaroori hain yah apahaar? President Russell M. Nelson jab aisa kaha to unhon ne is prashn ka spasht roop se uttar diya “aane waale dinon mein, Pavitr Aatma ke maargadarshan, nirdeshan, saantvana aur nirantar prabhaav ke bina dhaarmik roop se jeevit rahana sambhav nahin hoga.”⁵

Aatma ke Prernao ko kaise aamantrit karen aur pahachaanen.

Apne mantraalay ke dauraan, main ne har kisee mein yah jaan ne kee saarvabhaumik laalsa dekhee hai ki Pavitr Aatma kee preranaon ko kaise aamantrit kiya jae aur kaise pahachaana jae. Aatma ke sanket bahut vyaktigat hote hain aur alag-alag tareekon se aate hain. Haalaanki, ham dhany hain ki hamaare paas praacheen aur aadhunik donon profats ke shabd hain, jo hamen aatma se disha praapt karne ke baare mein moolyavaan antardrshti dete hain.

Main chaar maargadarshak siddhaanton kee peshakash karta hoon jo aatma kee preranaon ko aamantrit karne aur pahachaanane mein aapkee sahaayata kar sakte hain.

Pavitr Sthaanon mein Khade raho

Pahala hai pavitr sthaanon par khada hona.⁶ Main ne haal hee mein Tokyo Japan Mandir open house mein bhaag liya. Media aur VIP mehamaanon donon ko bheje gae aupachaarik nimantranon kee pratikriya apekshaon se kaheen adhik thee. In nirdeshit mandir yaatraon mein saikadon log shaamil hue. Mehamaan mandir kee sundarta se bahut prabhaavit hue, jismen gahare, paaramparik Japanese kanekshan vaale patterns aur roopaankan shaamil the. Is se bhee adhik maarmik mehamaanon kee or se praapt shraddhaapoorn aur sammaanajanak pratikriya thee kyonki paitrk adhyaadeshon ka varnan un kamaron mein kiya gaya tha jahaan ve hote the. Lekin sabse adhik hrdayasparshee Aatma kee preranaen theen.

Ek pramukh sarkaaree adhikaaree ke saath aisa hee ek kshan mere man mein ankit hai. Divy kaksh mein ek pal kee dhyaanamagn shaanti ke baad, bhaavuk hokar aur gaharaee se chhookar usne mere kaan mein phusaphusaaya, “Yahaan tak ki is kamare mein main jis hava mein saans leta hoon vah bhee alag mahasoos hotee hai.” Main ne pahachaan liya ki vah pavitr aatma kee upasthiti ka varnan karne kee koshish kar raha tha, jo vaastav mein pavitr sthaanon mein nivaas kartee hai. Yadi aap aatma ko mahasoos karne kee aasha rakhte hain, to aise sthaan par rahen jahaan aatma aasaanee se nivaas kar sake.

Hamaare mandir aur ghar in samarpit sthaanon mein sabse pavitr hain. Unmen ham aatma ko adhik aasaanee se aamantrit karte hain aur pahachaante hain. Any pavitr sthaanon mein meetinghouses, seminary buildings aur institutes, aur GIrjaghar ke itihaas sthal aur aagantuk kendr shaamil hain. Pavitra Sthaanon Par Khade Raho.

Pavitr Logon ke Saath Khade raho

Doosara, pavitr logon ke saath khade raho. Main doosre maargadarshak siddhaant ka varnan ek any smrti ke saath karoonga.

Main ek lokpriy khel maidaan mein aayojit bhakti kaaryakram mein bhaag lena kabhee nahin bhooloonga. Aam taur par, yah maidaan apnee ghareloo teem kee jay-jayakaar karne vaale aur shaayad apne pratidvandvee ka mazaak udaane vaale shor-sharaabe vaale prashansakon se bhara hota tha. Lekin is raat maahaul bilkul alag tha. Profat Joseph Smith ke jeevan ka sammaan aur smaran karne ke liye maidaan hazaaron yuvaon se bhara hua tha. Unka shraddhaapoorn, shaant svar; krtagyata; aur praarthanaapoorn hrdayon ne maidaan ko pavitr aatma kee upasthiti se bhar diya. Main sachamuch ise unke cheharon par dekh sakta tha. Yah kaary mein pavitr aatma ka upahaar tha, jo Joseph Smith aur punahsthaapana kee gavaahee kee pushti karta hai.

Pavitr logon kee sabha mein bhaag lene se Aatma ko roka nahin ja sakta. Yadi aap Aatma ko mahasoos karne kee aasha rakhte hain, to aise sthaan par rahen jahaan Aatma aasaanee se nivaas kar sake. Rakshak ne ise is prakaar kaha: “Kyonki jahaan do ya teen mere naam par ikatthe hote hain, vahaan main unke beech mein hota hoon.”⁷ Yuva logon ke liye, pavitr logon kee apnee sabhaon par vichaar karen: koram aur kakshaen, FSY aur seminary, vaard aur hissedaaree gatividhiyaan—yahaan tak ki vaard gaayak bhee. Logon ke saath rahana chunen aur un jagahon par jaen jahaan dhaarmikata paee jaatee hai. Sankhya mein apnee taakat khojen. Achche mitra khoje. Achche mitra bane. Aap jahaan bhee hon ek-doosare ka samarthan karen. Pavitr logon ke saath khade raho.

Pavitra Sach kee gawahi deh.

Teesara, jitnee baar sambhav ho pavitr saty kee gawahi den. Jab ham apnee aavaaj se gawahi dete hain to Dilaasa dene vaala hamesha Apnee aavaaj saajha karta hai. Aatma vakta aur shrota donon ke liye samaan roop se gawahi deta hai.

Mujhe yaad hai ki ek baar main ne New York City mein 45 minute kee taxi yaatra kee thee. Havaee adde tak apnee yaatra ke dauraan driver ke saath garmajoshee se susamaachaar sambandhee baatacheet karne ke baad, main ne use bhugtaan kiya aur taxi se baahar nikalne ke liye taiyaar hua jab mujhe ehasaas hua ki main ne jo kuchh bhee saajha kiya tha uskee gawahi main ne nahin dee thee. Tab mujhe ehasaas hua ki main ne jo kuchh saajha kiya tha uskee gawahi mainne nahin dee thee. Rukte hue, main ne ek saral, sankshipt gawahi saajha kee, jo Aatma ko aamantrit kartee hai, jis se hamaaree donon aankhon mein aansoo aa jaate hain.

Jaise-jaise aap doosron ke saath apnee gawahi saajha karne ke avasar talaashate aur lete hain, aap apne liye Aatma ko pahachaanane ke liye kshan banaenge.

Pavitr Aatma ko suno

Antim siddhaant pavitr aatma kee baat dhyaan se sun na hai. Vah hamaara nirantar saathee ho sakta hai lekin sookshm, shaant svar mein bolta hai. Profat Elijah ne khoja ki Prabhu kee aavaaz hava, bhookamp, ya aag mein nahin thee balki “dheemi awaaza” thee.⁸ Yah “gadagadaahat kee aavaaj nahin hai” balki “poorn saumyata kee ek shaant aavaaj hai, jaise ki yah phusaphusaahat ho,” aur phir bhee yah “aatma ko bhee chhed sakatee hai.”⁹

President Boyd K. Packer ne kaha hain: “Chillaane ya hamen bhaaree haath se hilaane se Aatma hamaara dhyaan aakarshit nahin kartee hai. Balki phusaphusaata hai. Yah itne dheere se sahalaata hai ki agar ham vyast hain to hamen iska bilkul bhee ehasaas nahin ho sakta hai.”¹⁰ Main ne dekha hai ki kabhee-kabhee Unkee aavaaj itnee sookshm hotee hai, ya main itna vyast rahata hoon ki koee priyajan use pakad leta hai. Bahut baar aisa hua hai ki Pavitr Aatma kee prerana meree patnee Lesa ke maadhyam se mere paas aaee hai. Dharmee maata-pita ya neta aapke liye prerit maargadarshan praapt kar sakte hain.

Duniya mein vyaapt shor, kolaahal aur vivaad, Pavitr Aatma ke shaant prabhaav par haavee ho sakta hai. Ek shaant jagah, ek pavitr sthaan khojen jahaan aap aatma se disha praapt kar saken.

Saavdhaanee ke Kuchh Shabd

Jab aap aatma ko aamantrit karne aur pahachaanane ke liye in siddhaanton par vichaar karte hain, to saavadhaan maargadarshan ke nimnalikhit shabdon par vichaar karen.¹¹

Apne aadhyaatmik prabhaavon kee pushti karen. Udaaharan ke liye, Aatma ke prabhaav dharmagranthon aur jeevit bhavishyavaktaon kee shikshaon ke saath sanrekhit honge.

Sunishchit karen ki aapko praapt hone vaalee bhaavnaen aapke kaary ke anuroop hain. Jab tak aapko uchit praadhikaaree dvaara nahin bulaaya jaata hai, tab tak aapko doosron ko salaah dene ya sudhaarane ke liye Aatma kee chhaap nahin dee jaatee hai.

Aadhyaatmik maamalon ko thopa nahin ja sakta. Aap ek drshtikon aur aisa vaataavaran vikasit kar sakte hain jo Aatma ko aamantrit karta hai, aur aap khud ko taiyaar kar sakte hain, lekin aap yah tay nahin kar sakte ki prerna kaise aur kab aaegee. Dhairy rakhen aur bharosa rakhen ki sahee samay aane par aapko vah milega jiskee aapko aavashyakata hai.

Apne sarvottam nirnay ka prayog karen. Kabhee-kabhee ham sabhee cheezon mein aatma ke netrtv mein chalana chaahate hain. Haalaanki, aksar Prabhu chaahate hain ki ham apnee Parmeshwar pradatt buddhi ka upayog karen aur un tareekon se kaary karen jo hamaaree sarvottam samajh ke anuroop hon. President Dallin H. Oaks sikhaata hain:

“Prabhu ke netrtv mein chalne kee ichchha ek taakat hai, lekin iske saath yah samajh honee chaahiye ki hamaare Swargiye Pita hamaaree vyaktigat pasand ke liye kaee nirnay chhodte hain. … Jo vyakti sabhee nirnay lene kee prakriya ko Prabhu par sthaanaantarit karne ka prayaas karate hain aur har vikalp mein rahasyodghaatan kee yaachana karte hain, unhen jald hee aisee paristhitiyaan milengee jinmen ve maargadarshan ke liye praarthana karte hain aur unhen maargadarshan praapt nahin hota hai.

“Hamen apne dimaag mein cheezon ka adhyayan karna chaahiye. … Tab hamen maargadarshan ke liye praarthna karnee chaahiye aur us par kaary karna chaahiye. … Yadi hamen maargadarshan nahin milta hai, to hamen apne sarvottam nirnay par kaary karna chaahiYe.”¹²

Nimantran ke saath nishkarsh

Ant mein, Antim-dinon ke Santon ko pratibhaashaalee, anubandh ka paalan karne vaale log hone chaahiye. Phir bhee, yah hamamen se pratyek ke liye hai ki ham apne aadhyaatmik upahaaron ka prayog karen aur phir Aatma kee preranaon ko aamantrit karna aur pahachaanana seekhen. Is mahatvapoorn aadhyaatmik prayaas mein hamaaree sahaayata ke liye chaar maargadarshak siddhaant hain:

Pavitra Sthaanon Par Khade Raho.
Pavitra logon ke saath khade raho.
Pavitra sach kee gawahi deh.
Pavitr Aatma ko suno.

Aatma ke sanketon ko aamantrit karne aur pahachaanane kee aapkee kshamata ek samay mein ek kadam vikasit hogee. Aatma kee bhaasha ke prati adhik abhyast hona doosree bhaasha seekhne jaisa hai. Yah ek kramik prakriya hai jiske liYe mehanatee, dhairyavaan prayaas kee aavashyakata hotee hai.”¹³

Jahaan se hamne shuruaat kee thee vahaan lautate hue, krpaya yaad rakhen ki Antim-dinon ke Santon ke roop mein aap pratibhaashaalee hain. Is parichit vrat ravivaar ke drshy kee kalpana karen, jiska haal hee mein mujhe varnan kiya gaya hai. Stool par khada ek chhota bachcha, manch ke oopar mushkil se dikhaee de raha tha. Uske pita uske bagal mein khada hua, jaisa ki usne garv se saajha kiya tha, uske kaan mein dheemee phusaphusaahat ke saath protsaahan aur sahaayata pradaan kee, “Mein Parmeshwar kaa bachcha hoon.”

Iske baad kee aglee gawahi ek yuva ekal vayask kee or se aaee, jisne ghabraee huee chutkee ke saath shuruaat kee: “Kaash mere kaan mein bhee koee is tarah phusaphusaata.” Tab use prerana kee ek jhalak milee aur usne gawahi dee, “Mere kaan mein koee is tarah phusaphusa raha hai—Pavitr Aatma!”

Main vishesh roop se sabhee yuvaon ke lie ek nimantran ke saath apanee baat samaapt karta hoon! Aap mein se kaee log apne din kee shuruaat sheeshe ke saamane khade hokar karte hain. Kal, is saptaah, is varsh, hamesha, ruken aur khud ko aaeene mein dekhen. Apne baare mein soche, ya yadi aap chaahen to zor se kahen, “vaah, mujhe dekho! Main adbhut hoon! Main Parmeshwar ka ek bachcha hoon! Woh hamen janta hain! Woh hamse pyar karta hain! Main pratibhaashaalee hoon—mere nirantar saathee ke roop mein pavitr aatma ka upahaar!”

Main aapke saath, antim-dinon ke pratibhaashaalee santon kee, Paramapita Parmeshvar, Ishu Masih aur Aavitr Aatma kee, jo unkee gawahi deta hai, apnee gawahi jodta hoon. Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
