Shaanti Karaanewaala ki Zaroorat hai

President Russell M. Nelson dwara

Ishu Masih Ka Girjaghar Antim-dino Ke Santo ka President

Vivaad(contention) ya sulah(reconciliation) chunne ke liye aapki apni ejensi hai. Main aapse abhi, aur hamesha shaanti karaanewaale banane ka chunaao karne ka aagrah karta hoon.

Mere priye bhaaiyon bahanon, mujhe anand mila hai aaj tumhare saath yaha rehne se. In pichale chah mahinon ke dauraan, aap lagaataar mere dimaag mein aur meri praathnaaon mein rahe hain. Main praathna karta hoon ki Pavitr Aatma woh sanchaar karegi jo Prabhu chahate hain ki aap sunen, jaisa ki main ab aapse baat kar raha hoon.

Kai saal pahale apni sarjikal intarnship ke dauraan, mainne ek sarjan ki sahaeta ki thee jo atyadhik sankraatmak gangrene se bhare pair ko kaat raha tha. Opareshan kathin tha. Phir, pareshaani ko badhaane ke liye, teem mein se ek ne kaarye kharaab tarike se kiya, aur sarjan gusse se bhadak uthe. Apne gusse ke beech, usne germs se bharee apni skelpal phenk dee. Yah mere agrabaaho(forearm) pe gira!

Opareting room mein har koi—niyantran se bahar sarjan ko chhodhkar—sarjikal abhyaas ke is khatarnaak ullanghan se bhaybheet tha. Shukr hai, main sankramit(infected) nahin hua. Lekin is anubhav ne mujh par gehri chaap chhodi. Ussi ghante, Mainne khud se vaada kiya ki mere opareting room mein jo kuch bhi hoga, main kabhi bhi apni bhaavnaon par niyantran nahi khounga. Mainne us din yah bhi kasam khai ki kabhi bhi gusse mein kuch bhi nahin phenkunga—chaahe vah skelpal ho ya shabd.

Ab bhi, dashakon baad, main khud ko aashcharyechakit paata hoon ki kya woh dooshit skelpal jo meri baanho mein giree thi, woh us jaharile vivaad se bhi adhik jaharila tha jo aaj hamare naagrik baat aur kai vyaktigat rishton ko khokla karta hai. Dhruveekaran(polarization) aur bhaavuk asehmati(passionate disagreemnets) ke is daur mein sabhyata aur shaaleenta gaayab lagti hai.

Ashleelta, galtiyaan nikaalna, aur dusron ki burai karna bahut aam baat hai. Bahut se pandit, raaj neta, manoranjankarta aur anye prabhaaoshaali log lagataar apmaan karte hain. Mujhe is baat ki bahut chinta hai ki bahut se log yah maante hain ki jo koi bhi unse sehmat nahin hai, uski ninda karna, nicha dikhana, aur use badanaam karna puri tarah se swikaarye hai. Kai log dayaneey(pathetic) aur hanikarak(pithy barbs) se dusre ki pratishtha ko nuksaan pahunchaane ke liye utsuk dikhte hain!

Gussa kabhi manaata nahin. Shatruta kisi ka nirmaan nahin karati. Vivaad kabhi bhi prerit samaadhaan ki or nahin le jaata. Afsos ki baat hai ki, ham kabhi-kabhi apne hi bheetar bhi vivaad-bhare rawaiya dekhate hain. Hum un logon ke baare mein sunnte hain jo apne jiwansaathi aur bachchon ka aapmaan karte hain, woh jo dusron ko kaabu me karne ke liye gusse ka istemaal karte hain, aur woh jo parivaar ke sadasyon ko “shaant vyavahaar” se daante hain. Hum un yuvaon aur bachchon ke baare mein sunte hain jo dhamkaate hain aur un karmchaariyon ke baare mein sunnte hain jo apne sahkarmiyon ko badnaam karte hain.

Mere pyaare bhaaiyon aur bahano, yeh nahi hona chahiye. Ishu Masih ke shishyon ke roop mein, hamen is baat ka udhaaran banna hai ki dusron ke saath kaise baatcheet karni hai—khaaskar jab hamare aas alag-alag vichaar ho. Ishu Masih ke sachche anuyaayee ki pehchaan karne ka sabse aasaan tarika yah hai ki woh vyakti anye logon ke saath kitna dayalu vyavahaar karta hai.

sammelan dekh rahi parivaar — Dakshin Africa

Rakshak ne donon golaardhon(hemisphere) mein anuyaayiyon ko diye Apne upadeshon mein ise spasht kiya. “Dhanye hain jo shaanti karaanewaale,” Unhonne kaha.¹ “Parantu jo koi tere daahine gaal par thapadh maare, uski or dusra bhi kar dena”² Aur phir, nihsandeh, Unhonne woh chetaavani dee jo hum me se pratyek ko chunauti deti hai: “Apne shatruon se prem karo, jo tumhe sharaap de use aashish do, jo tumse baer kare uske liye bhalaai karo, aur unke liye praathna karo jo dosh mein tumhare upuyog kare aur tumhe sataaye.”³

Apni mrtyu se pahale, Rakshak ne apne Barah Preriton ko ek-dusre se waise hi prem karne ki aagya di jaise Usne unse prem kiya tha.⁴ Aur tabh Usne kaha, “Yadi aapas mein prem rakhoge to isi se sab jaanenge, ki tum mere chele ho.”⁵

Rakshak ka sandesh spasht hai: Unke sachche shishye nirmaan, utthaan karte hain, protsaahit, raajee, aur prerit karte hain—chaahe sthiti kitni bhi kathin kyon na ho. Isu Masih ke sachche shishye shaanti karaanewaala hain.⁶

Aaj Palm Sunday hai. Hum prithvi par ab tak darj ki gai sabse mahatvapurn aur utkrsht ghatna ko manaane ki taeyaari kar rahe hain, jo ki Prabhu Ishu Masih ka Praeshchit aur Punarjiwan hai. Rakshak ka sammaan karne ka sabse achchha tarika shaanti karaanewala banana hai.⁷

Rakshak ke Praeshchit ne hamare liye sabhi buraiyon par vijay paana sambhav bana diya—vivaad ko lekar. Ismen koi galti na karen: vivaad buri baat hai! Ishu Masih ne ghoshit kiya ki jinke paas “ daleel ki bhaavana ” hai, weh Unke nahin hain, balki “ shaitaan ke hain, jo vivaad ka pita hai, aur [shaitaan] manushyon ke dilon ko krodh se ladane ke liye uksaata hai, ek dusre ke saath.”⁸ Jo log vivaad ko badhaava dete hain weh Shaitaan kee kitaab se ek panna nikaal rahe hain, chaahe unhen iska ehsaas ho ya na ho. “ Koi bhi vyakti do svaamiyon ki sevw nahin kar sakta.”⁹ Hum apne maukhik hamalon se Shaitaan ka samarthan nahin kar sakte aur phir sochte hain ki ham abhi bhi Permeshwar ki sewa kar sakte hain.

Mere pyaare bhaiyon aur bahanon, ham ek dusre ke saath kaisa vyavahaar karte hain yah vaastav mein maayane rakhata hai! Hum ghar par, girjaghar mein, kaam par aur onalain dusron se kaise baat karte hain aur unake baare mein kaise baat karate hain, yah vaastav mein maayane rakhta hai. Aaj, main hamse uchch, pavitr tarike se dusron ke saath baatcheet karne ke liye kah raha hoon. Krpaya dhyaan se sunein. “Agar kuch bhi pavitra, pyaara ya achchi hai ya prashansniye hai”¹⁰ jise ham kisi anye vyakti ke baare mein kah sakte hain—chaahe uske chehare par ya unki jaankaari ke bina, gupt roop se kuch kehna—woh hamare sanchaar ka maanak hona chahiye.

Yadi aapke ward mein kisi jode ka talaak ho jaata hai, ya koi yuva mishanari jaldi ghar laut aata hai, ya kisi yuwak ko apni gawahi par sandeh hota hai, to unhen aapke nirnay ki aavashyakta nahin hai. Unhen aapke shabdon aur kaaryon mein pratibimbit Ishu Masih ke shuddh prem ka anubhav karne ki aavashyakta hai.

Yadi soshal meediya par kisi mitr ke paas mazboot raajneetik ya saamaajik vichaar hain jo aapke vishwaas ki har baat ka ullanghan karte hain, to aapke dwara krodhit, kathor jawaab madad nahin karega. Anye logon ke saath sambandh aur achchi bhaavnaen banaane ke liye aapko bahut adhik ki aavashyakta hogi, lekin yah wahi hai jo aapke mitr ko chahiye.

Vivaad Aatma ko dur bhagaata hai—har bar. Vivaad is galat dhaarana ko pusht karta hai ki takaraav hee matbhedon ko suljhaane ka tareeka hai; lekin aisa kabhee nahin hai. Vivaad ek chunaav hai. Shaanti karaana ek chunaav hai. Vivaad(contention) ya sulaah(reconciliation) chunne ke liye aapki apni ejensi hai. Main aapse abhi, aur hamesha shaanti karaanewaala banne ka chunaav karne ka aagrah karta hoon.¹¹

Bhaaiyon aur bahanon, ham sachmuch duniya ko badal sakte hain—ek samay mein ek vyakti aur ek baatcheet. Kaise? Paarasparik sammaan aur sammaan janak baat-cheet ke saath vichaaron ke imaanadaar matbhedon ko kaise prabandhit kiya jaae, iske dikhawe se.

Vichaaron mein matbhed jiwan ka hissa hai. Mai har din Prabhu ke samarpit sewakon ke saath kaam karta hoon jo hamesha kisi mudde ko ek hee tarah se nahin dekhte hain. Weh jaante hain ki ham jo bhi charcha karte hain uske baare mein mai unke vichaar aur imaanadaar bhaavnaen sunna chahata hoon—khaaskar vishesh roop se sanvedansheel maamle.

Mere do mahan salaahakaar, President Dallin H. Oaks aur President Henry B. Eyring, apni bhaavanaon ko vyakt karne ke tarike mein uddhaarniye hain— khaaskar jab weh bhinn ho sakte hain. Weh ek-dusre ke prati shuddh prem ke saath aisa karte hain. Is me se koi bhi yah sujhaav nahi deta hai ki wah sabse achcha jaanta hai aur isliye use apni sthiti ka sakhti se bachaav karna chahiye. Koi bhi dusre ke saath pratispardha karne ki aavashyakta ka pramaan nahin deta. Kyunki pratyek dayaluta se bhara hua hai “Masih ka shuddh prem,”¹² hamare vichaar-vimarsh ko Prabhu ki Aatma dwara nirdeshit kiya ja sakta hai. Mai in donon mahaan vyaktiyon se kitna pyaar karta hoon aur unka sammaan karta hoon!

Dayaluta vivaad ka pratikaarak(antidote) hai. Dayaluta woh aadhyaatmik uphaar hai jo hamen us swaabhaavik manushye ko tyaagne mein madad karta hai, jo swaarthi, rakshaatmak, ghamandi aur jarantu hai. Dayaluta Ishu Masih ke sachche chele ka pramukh lakshan hai.¹³ Dayaluta ek shaanti karaanewaala ka pehchaan hai.

Jab ham Parmeshwar ke saamne khud ko vinamr karte hain aur apne dil ki pure oorja se praathna karte hain, to Parmeshwar hamen dayaluta denge.¹⁴

Jin logon ko yah pavitra uphaar praapt hua hai weh sahanasheel aur dayaalu hain. Weh dusron se eershya nahin karte aur apne aap ke mahatv par dhyaan nahin dete. Weh aasaani se uttejit nahin hote aur dusron ke baare mein bura nahin sochte.¹⁵

Bhaaiyon aur bahanon, Masih ka shuddh prem us vivaad ka uttar hai jo aaj hamen pareshaan karta hai. Dayaluta hamen “ek-dusre par bojh daalne ke bajaay”¹⁶ ek-dusre ka bojh uthaane ke liye prerit karta hai. Masih ka shuddh prem hamen “har samay aur sabhi cheejon mein Parmeshwar ke gawah ke roop mein khade hone ka maoka deta hai”¹⁷—khaaskar tanaavapurn sthitiyon mein. Dayaluta hamen yah pradarshit karne ki anumati deta hai ki Masih ke purush aur mahilaen kaise bolte aur kaarye karte hain—khaaskar jab kadee aalochna ke saath haamla kiya ja raha hai.

Ab, main “ kisi bhi keemat par shaanti paane” ke baare mein baat nahin kar raha hoon.¹⁸ Main dusron ke saath is tarah se vyavahaar karne ke baare mein baat kar raha hoon jo us vachan ko nibhaane ke anuroop hai jo aap sekrament(prabhubhoj) mein bhaag lete samay banate hain. Hum vaada karte hai ki hum hamesha Rakshak ko yaad karenge. Atyadhik tanaopurn aur vivaad se bharee sthitiyon mein, main aapko Ishu Masih ko yaad karne ke liye aamantrit karta hoon. Woh jo kahana chahata hai use kahane ya karne ke liye saahas aur buddhi paane ke liye praathna karen. Jaise hi ham Shaanti ke Raajkumaar ka anusaran karenge, ham Unke shaanti karaanewaala ban jaayenge.

Is samay aap soch rahe honge ki yah sandesh vaastav mein kisi aise vyakti ki madad karen jise aap jaante ho. Shaayad aap ummeed kar rahe ho ki isse use aapke prati achcha vyavahaar karne mein madad milegi. Mujhe aasha hai ki yah hoga! Lekin mujhe yah bhi ummeed hai ki aap apne dil mein gahraai se dekhenge ki kahi ghamand ya eershya ke ansh to nahin hain jo aapko shaanti karaanewaale banne se rokte hain.¹⁹

Yadi aap Israel ko ikattha karne mein madad karne aur anant kaal tak chalne waale rishte banaane ke baare mein gambheer hain, to ab kadhavaahat ko dur karne ka samay hai. Ab samay aa gaya hai ki aap is baat par zor dena band kar de ki yah aapka raasta hai ya koi raasta nahin. Ab samay aa gaya hai ki ham aise kaam karna band kar de jo aapko pareshaan karne ke dar se dusron ko majboor kar dete hain. Ab aapke yuddh ke hathiyaaron ko daphnaane ka samay aa gaya hai.²⁰ Yadi aapka maukhik bhandaar apmaan aur aaropon se bhara hai, to ab unhen dur karne ka samay aa gaya hai.²¹ Aap Masih ke aadhyaatmik roop se mazboot purush ya mahila ke roop mein ubhrenge.

Mandir hamari khoj mein hamari madad kar sakta hai. Waha ham Parmeshwar ki shakti se sampann hain, jo hamen sabhi vivaadon ke bhadkaane waale Shaetaan par kaaboo paane ki kshamata deti hai.²² Use apne rishton se nikaal de! Dhyaan de ki har baar jab ham kisi galatphehmi ko dur karte hain ya bura maanne se inkaar karte hain toh ham virodhi ko dhamki bhi lagaate hain. Iske bajaay, ham woh komal daya dikha sakte hain jo Ishu Masih ke sachche shishyon ki visheshta hai. Shaanti karaanewaala virodhi ko rokta hai.

Aaiye ham ek vyakti ke roop mein pahaadi par sachchi raushni banen—ek aisi raushni jise “chipaaya nahin ja sakta.”²³ Aaiye ham dikhaen ki jatil muddon ko hal karne ka ek shaantipurn, sammaanjanak mamle hai aur virodh ko dur karne ka ek prabuddh tarika hai. Jaise hi aap Ishu Masih ke sachche anuyaayiyon dwara prakat ki gai dayaluta ka pradarshan karte hain, Prabhu aapke prayaason ko aapki uchchatam kalpana se bhi adhik badha denge.

Gospel net duniya ka sabse bada net hai. Parmeshwar sab ke amantrit kare hai ki Unke paas aaye, “kariya aur ujjar, bandi aur mukt, purush aur mahila.”²⁴ Waha har kisi ke liye jagah hai. Haalaanki, ismen kisi bhi prakaar ke purvaagrah, ninda ya vivaad ke liye koi jagah nahi hai.

Mere pyaare bhaaiyon aur bahanon, un logon ke liye abhi to isse bhi achcha aana baaki hai jo apna jiwan dusron ke nirmaan mein bitaate hain. Aaj mai aapko dusron ke saath aapke vyavahaar ke sandarbh mein apne shishyatv ki jaanch karne ke liye aamantrit karta hoon. Mai aapko koi bhi aavashyak samaayojan karne ke liye aashirvaad deta hoon taaki aapka vyavahaar udaatt, sammaanjanak aur Ishu Masih ke sachche anuyaayee ka pratinidhi ho.

Mai tumhen aashirvaad deta hoon ki tum yuddh ko vinatee se, shatruta ko samajh se, aur vivaad ko shaanti se badal do.

Parmeshwar jiwit hai! Ishu hi Masih hain. Woh is Girjaghar ke mukhiya hai. Hum Uske sewak hai. Woh hamen Uske shaanti karaanewaala banne mein madad karega. Mai yah gawahi Ishu Masih ke pavitra naam se deta hoon, amen.
