Pratham Adhyakshta ka Sandesh, November 2015
Ek Uddharan aur ek Jyoti Bano
Jab hum Uddhaarkarta ki uddharan ko paalan karein, hamare hi mauka hai dusre ke jiwaan ke liye jyoti banne ka.
Bhaaiyon aur bahanon, kitna achcha hai ek baar phir tumhare saath hona. Jaise ki aap jaante ho, us samay April mein hum jab saath the, hum ko dukh hua apne teen pyaare Devdut ko khokar jiska mritiyu hua: Pradhaan Boyd K.Packer, Elder L.Tom Perry, aur Elder Richard G.Scott. Woh apne swarg waale ghar par laut gaye.Hum unko yaad karte hai. Kitna abhaari hai hum unke Maseeh ki tarah pyaar aur prerit shiksha ka uddharan ke liye jo hum sab ke liye diya hai.
Hum dil se swagat karte hai apne naye Devduton ko, Elder Ronald A.Rasband, Elder Gary E.Stevenson, aur Elder Dale G.Renlund ko. Yeh purush Prabhu ke kaarye mein wafaadaar hai. Weh sab yogye hai is khaas niyukti par jispe woh niyukt huwe hai.
Haal mein, jab main dharamshaastra padhta tha aur sochta tha, do pesajas mere saath reh gaye. Hum is dharamshaastra ki donon pesages ko pechante hai. Pahela waala Pahaad par Pravachan se hai: “Ussi prakar tumhara ujiyala manushye ke saamne chamke ki weh tumhare bhale kaamo ko dekhkar tumhare Pita ki, jo swarg mein hai, badhai karein.”1 Dusri wali dharamshaastra hai jo mera maan mein aaya jab mai pehla wale ki sochta tha. Woh Devdut Paul ka Epistle se Timothy ko: “Par vachan , aur chaal-chalan, aur prem, aur vishwaas, aur pavitra mein vishwaasiyon ke liye aadarsh bann jaa.”2
Main vishwaas karta hoon ki dusre dharamshaastra samjhata hai ki, mahan taur se, hum kaise pehla ko nibhaenge. Hum vishwaasiyon ke uddharan honge jab hum Ishu Maseeh ki susamachaar ko nibhate shabdon, vachan, chaal-chalan, prem, vishwaas, aur pavitrata par. Jab hum aisa hi karenge, hamare jyoti ujalega banega dusro ko dekhne ke liye.
Har ek is dharti par aaye Maseeh ki Jyoti paane ke baad. Jab hum Uddhaarkarta ki uddharan ko nibhaenge aur Unke tarah jiyenge aur jaise Unhonne sikhlaya, woh jyoti jo hum par jalega aur dusro ke maarg ke liye ujala dega.
Devdut Paul ne chaah visheshta di vishwaasiyon ki, woh vishesta jo hamare jyoti ko chamakne ka mauka dega. Hum har ek ko dekhein.
Mainne pehla do visheshta ko ek saath batlaunga—jo shabd aur baato ka uddharan hai. Jo shabd hum istemaal karte hai uncha karega aur prerit karte hai, ya woh kasht denge aur nicha dikhaaenge. Aaj ke duniya mein gaaliyaan itni adhik ho gayi hai ki har mod par uska saamna hota hai. Bahut hi mushkil hai ki hum Ishwaar ka naam ko saadhe dhang se aur binaa soche sunne se hum bach paaye. Ghatiya alochna dekhae jaata hai television, filmo, kitaabo, aur sangeet mein. Aam rup se apmaanjanak aur krodhit bhaasha ke baate kahi jaati hai. Hume dusre par prem aur aadar se baate karni chahiye, aur apne achche shabdon ko istemaal karein aur woh shabdon ya alochna ko nahi istemaal karni chahiye jo chot lagata ya apmaan karta. Hum Uddhaarkarta ke uddharan ka palaan karein, jo dhaerye aur dayalu se baate karta tha Apni prachaar kaarye ke samay.
Dusre visheshta jo Paul ne batlaya hai, woh Maseeh ka pavitra pyaar hai.”3 Mai nischayi hoon ki waha kai jaane maane log hai, jinpar hum prabhao kar sakte hai jo akele, beemar, aur niraasha mehsoos karte hai. Hamare paas hi mauka hai unko madad karne ka aur unko protsaahit karna. Usne bimaaro ko changa kiya; Usne langdo ko chalaaya, andho ko ankhe di, behron ko sunne ki shakti di. Usne bhi mare huwon ko jilayaa. Uski dekhrekh par Usne dayaluta se dusro ko madad ki jise zaroorat tha. Jab hum Uski uddharan par anusaaran karenge, hum dusre ke jiwan ko ashirvaad denge, iske saath hamare bhi.
Dusre, hum ko aatma mein uddharan hona chahiye. Mere liye iska matlab hai ki hamare jiwan mein, dayaluta, dhanyevaad, chama, aur mitrbhaao hona chahiye. In sab visheshta mein hamare liye ek aatma ko taeyyaar karega jo hamare aas-paas ke log ke jiwan par prabhaao daalega. Ye mera hi mauka tha is saalo par milaa hua kai log ke saath jiske paas ye ichcha hai. Hum anubhav karte hai ek khaas ehsaas ko jab hum unke saath hai, ek ehsaas jo humko deta hai unke ke saath mel-jol karein aur unke uddharan ka palaan karein. Woh Maseeh ki Jyoti ko dikhlaate hai aur humko madad karenge Uski pyaar ko mehsoos karne mein hamare liye.
Yeh saabit karne ke liye ki jyoti sachcha aur pyaare aatma se aata hai aur anye log use pehchante hai, main tumhare saath kai saalo ki ek anubhav ko batlata hoon.
Us samay par, Girjaghar ke netaaon ne Jerusalem ki sarkaar se mila tha ek zameen ke theka (lease) par lena ke liye jisme Jerusalem ki Girjaghar Kendra banna tha. Sahi ijazaat ke liye, Girjaghar ko manzoor karna tha prachaarak kaarye waha nahi honge hamare Girjaghar ki sadasyon se jo Kendra mein rahenge. Us sammati ke baad, ek Israel ke sarkaar, jo Girjaghar aur unki sadasyon ko achche se jante the, ne vichaar kiya ki woh janta tha ki Girjaghar aadar karenge us nahi-prachaarak kaarye sammati ko. “Magar,” usne kaha, un vidhyaarthiyon ki sochkar jo wahan padhenge, “hum kya karenge us jyoti ka jo unke aankho mein dikhta hai?”4 Aasha hai ki woh khaas jyoti hamare andar hamesha chamakta rahe, taki dusre pehchaane aur abhaari rahe.
Vishwaasiyon ke uddharan banne ka matlab hai ki hamein Prabhu par bharosa hona chahiye aur Uski shabdon par. Iska matlab hai ki hum us vishwaas ko rakhe aur poshan karein jo hamare soch aur kaarye ko sanchalaan kar sakein. Hamare vishwaas Prabhu Ishu Maseeh aur Swarg Pita par humko prabhawit karta hai. Hamare umra ke gabrahat ke saath mein, sachchaai ki gabrahat par, aur roz ki jiwan ke haal-chaal, ek sthaayi vishwaas jo hamare jiwan ko langara banata hai. Yaad rakhiye ki woh vishwaas aur shak ek dimaag aur wahi mauke mein nahi rahe sakein, ki ek dusre ko nasht kar sakta hai. Main dohrana chahata hoon ki hum ko kya batlaya gaya hai—ki vishwaas ko haasil karna aur palan karna jo hamare liye zaroori hai, yeh avashyak hai ki hum dharamshaastra ko padhe aur soch vichaar karein. Prarthna dwara Swarg Pita se sachaalan karna avashyak hai. Hum in cheez ko nazarandaaz nahi kar sakte, kyunki virodhi aur uski senaa lagaatar hamare kamzori par, hamare vishwaas par gaur kiye baetha hai. Prabhu ne kaha, “Mehnat se talaash kijiye, hamesha prarthna kijiye, aur vishwaas kijiye, aur tumhare liye yeh sab theek ho jaega.”5
Ant mein, hum ko pavitra hi hona chahiye, iska matlab hai ki hum sharir, soch, aur aatma mein saaf ho. Hum jante hai ki hamara sharir ek mandir hai, aadar aur sammaan karni chahiye. Hamara dhyaan achche aur sammaan dene waale soch se bhara hona chahiye aur us cheez se bachein jo ganda karta hai. Pavitra Aatma ko hamare lagaatar saathi banne mein, hamein yogye hona chahiye. Bhaaiyon aur bahanon, pavitrata humko shaanti dega aur Uddhaarkarta ke vaado ko swikaar karne ke liye humko yogye banaega. Usne kaha, “Dhanye hai weh, jin ke mann shuddh hai, kyunki weh Parmeshwaar ko dekhenge.”6
Jab hum shabdon ki uddharan par sabit karenge, vachan par, chaal-chalan par, prem par, aatma par, vishwaas par, aur pavitrata par, hum ko swikaar honge duniya ki jyoti.
Main aap se kehna chahata hoon, khaas kar tum jawan purush ko, jaise ki duniya aage badhta jaata hai aur siddhant aur maargdarshaak jo dur ek pyaari Swarg Pita se diya gaya hai, hum bheed mein alag se dikhai denge kyunki hum alag hai. Hum alag se dikhai denge kyunki hum shaalinta se kapde pahente hai. Hum alag-alag honge kyunki hum gaaliyaan nahi istemaal karte hai aur kyunki hum un cheezo mein nahi bhaag leta hai jo hamare sharir ko nuksaan karta hai. Hum alag honge kyunki hum anuchit aur apmanjaanak bhashan se dur rehte hai. Hum alag honge kyunki hum faesla kar lenge ki hum apne aap ko midia ke gandagi se nahin bharenge jo anaetik aur pratishta ke khilaf karta hai aur jo Aatma ko hatata hai hamare gharon aur jiwan se. Hum nishchit rup se alag honge jaise ki hum chunaao karte hai naetikta— chunaao ki jo susamachaar ki siddhant aur adarsh ko maanta hai. Woh cheeze jo humko alag karta hai duniya se, humko bhi us jyoti ko taeyyaar karte hai, aur us aatma ko bhi jo chamkega us andhere duniya mein.
Bahut hi mushkil hai alag rehna aur alag se dikhai dena ek bheed mein. Dusre ki soch ya bhaashan se darna prakritik hota hai. Bahut hi dilaasa hai psalm ke shabdon se: “Parmeshwaar meri jyoti aur mera uddhar hai, mai kisse daru? Prabhu mere jiwan ka dard tahra hai, main kiska bhaye khau?”7 Jab hum Maseeh ko apne jiwan par dhyaan lagaye, hamare chinta himmat ki pratithi se badal jaega.
Hamare liye jiwan sampurn nahi hai, aur samay samay par chunaotiyaan aur mushkilein jo hum saamna karte hai jabardast ho sakta hai, hamare jyoti ko kamzor karta hua. Phir bhi, Swarg ke Pita ke madad se, dusron ki sahayta se, hum phir se us jyoti ko haasil karte hai jo hamare raaste ko ek baar phir ujalaa karta hai aur dusre ke liye jyoti taeyyar karein jinhe zaroorat hai.
Uddharan se, main tumhare saath apni ek pasandida kavita batna chahata hoon jo kai saalon pehle maine pehli baar padha tha:
Mujhe raat ko ek ajnabi mila
Jiska diya ka chamakna bandh ho gaya tha
Main rukh gaya aur use jalane laga
Mere diya se uska diya.
Ek andhi baad mein uthi
Aur duniya ko hilaya.
Aur jab hawaae chali gayi
Mera diya bujh gaya!
Magar mere paas phir se aaye ajnabi—
Uski diya ujwal raha!
Usne anmol jwaala ko pakda
Aur mere diya ko prakashit kiya! 8
Mere bhaaiyon aur bahanon, hamare ujwal rehne ke mauke hamare aas paas rehte hai har din, chaahe jo bhi paristhiti mein hum khud ko paaye. Jab hum Uddhaarkarta ki uddharan ko paalan karein, hamare hi mauka hai dusre ke jiwaan ke liye jyoti banne ka, chahe hamare khudh hi parivaar sadasye aur dost ho, hamare saath kaam karne waala, kewal jaan-pehchan, ya pure ajnabi.
Har ek ko, main kehta hoon ki aap ek beta ya beti ho hamare Swarg ke Pita ka. Aap Uske upasthiti se aaye hai is dharti par kuch samay rehne ke liye, Uddhaarkarta ke pyaar aur shikshan ko darshaane ke liye, aur apni jyoti ko ujwal karo taaki sab dekh sakein. Jab woh samay is dharti par khatam ho jaega, agar tum apne kartavvye ko karoge, tumhein hi milega woh mahaan ashirvaad Unke paas hamesha ke liye lautkar jine ka.
Kitna aashvaasan deta hai Uddhaarkarta ke shabd: “Jagat ki jyoti Main hoon: jo mere piche ho lega wah andhkaar mein na chalega, parantu jiwan ki jyoti paaega.”9 Unke liye main gawahi deta hoon. Woh hamare Uddhaarkarta hai aur Muktidaata hai, hamara Rakshak hai Pita ke saath. Woh hamare Uddharan aur shakti hai. Woh “jyoti hai jo andhere mein ujaala deta hai.”10 Ki har ek jo mera awaaz sune woh vachan de Unka picha karne ki, isi prakar se duniya ke liye ek chamakta jyoti banno, yeh mera prarthna hai Unki pavitra naam se, Ishu Maseeh Prabhu hi, amen.
