Susamaachaar ke Anusaar Jeene ka Woh Sthaayee Aanand

Elder D. Todd Christofferson dwara

Barah Devduton ke Quorum ka

Hamesha rahane vaala aanand Ishu Masih ke susamaachaar mein tike rahane aur doosron ko bhee aisa karne mein madad karne se aata hai.

Peeche Eden ke baagiche ke saath Adam aur Eve

Hamaare jeevan ke uddeshy kee ek sankshipt roop prthvee par maanav jeevan kee shuruaat ke baare mein Lehi kee bhavishyasoochak shikshaon mein paee jaa saktee hai. Eden ke baagiche mein, Adam aur Eve maasumiyat ki sthiti me the. Agar vahi haalat mein veh log rahete, unhen “[koee ]anand nahi milta, kyonki veh koee dukh nahi jaante the; woh kuch karte nahi, kyonki veh kuch bhee paap nahi jaante the” (2 Nephi 2:23). Is prakaar, jaise Lehi ne samjhaaya, “Adam ka pathan(fallen) isliye hua; jisse kee manushye ko, bhavishye aur vartamaan mein anand praapt ho” (2 Nephi 2:25; Moses 5:10–11 bhi dekhiye).

Jaise-jaise ham pathit(fallen) duniya mein bade hote hain, hamein jo sikhaaya jaata hai aur jo ham anubhav karte hain us se ham achchhe aur bure ke beech ka antar seekhte hain. Ham “kadvaa chakte hain, taaki [ham] achchhe ka mol jaane” (Moses 6:55). Anaand tab aatee hai jab ham kadvee baaton ko asveekaar karte hain aur achchhaiyon ko tejee se sanjote hain aur majbootee se pakad lete hain.

Anand Khojna

Hamaare prati unke sampoorn prem ke kaaran, hamaara Swargye Pita hamaare saath Apna sampoorn aanand baatne ke liye utsuk hai, abhee aur anant kaal tak. Shuroo se hee har cheez mein yahee unkee prerna rahee hai, jisme unkee khushee kee shaandaar yojna aur hamien chhudaane ke liye unke iklaute bete ka balidaan shaamil hai.

Parmeshwar ham par khushee ya anand thopne kee koshish nahin karte hai, balki vah hamein sikhaata hai ki ise kaise paaya jaae. Vah hamein yah bhee bataata hain ki anand kaha nahi miltee—“dushtta [nahin hai aur] kabhee kushee nahi hogi” (Alma 41:10). Yah Unkee aagyaaon ke dwaara hai ki hamaare Swargye Pita hamein aanand ka maarg bataate hain.

President Russell M. Nelson ne ise is prakaar batlaaya:

“ Yahaan mahaan satye hai: jabki duniya is baat par zor detee hai ki shakti, sampatti, lokpriyeta aur shareer ka sukh khushee laata hai, lekin aisa nahin hai! Weh khush nahin kar sakte! Ve jo utpaadan karte hain vah Parameshvar kee aagyaon ka paalan karne vaalon kee ‘dhanye aur khushaal sthiti ke liye ek khokhle vikalp ke alaava aur kuchh nahin hai’ [Mosiah 2:41].

“Sachchaai to yah hai ki aisee khushee kee talaash karna kahee adhik tak thaka dene vaala hai jahaan aap use kabhee nahin paa sakte! Haalanki, jab aap apne aap ko Ishu Masih ke saath jodte hain aur duniya par vijay paane ke liye aavashyak aadhyaatmik kaarye karte hain, Veh, aur Veh akela hi, ke paas aapko is duniya kee kheench se oopar uthaane kee shakti hai.”¹

Is prakaar, Parmeshwar kee aagyaaon ka paalan karne mein sthaayee aanand paaya jaata hai, aur Parmeshwar kee aagyaaen Ishu Masih ke susamaachaar mein paee jaatee hain. Yeh hamare bas me hai. Yadi ham apnee kamzoree ke kaaran kuchh samay ke liye aagyaon ka paalan karne mein asaphal ho jaate hain, tab bhee ham palat sakte hain, kadve ko asveekaar kar sakte hain aur ek baar phir achchhe ka peechaa kar sakte hain. Parmeshwar ka prem paap ko maaf nahin karta hai—yah nyaaye ko lootne vaalee daya hogee—lekin apne praeshchit ke dwaara, Ishu Masih paap se mukti pradaan karta hai:

“Amulek … ne kaha … ki Parmeshwar apnee praja ko chhudaane ke liye nishchay aae, parantu vah unhein unke paapon me chhudaane na aae, parantu unhen unke paapon se chhudaane ke liye.

“Uske Pita se shakti mila hai uh log ke apan paapon se mukti dilaae ke liye pashchataap ke vajah se; isliye Usne apne swarg dut ko pashchataap ke un niyamon ke sandesh ki ghoshna karne ke liye bheja, jo ki logon ko Muktidaata ke shakti ki or laata hai, unke aatmaaon ke uddhaar ke liye” (Helaman 5:10–11; par zor diya gaya).

Ishu ne kaha:

“Agar tum meri aagyaaon ko maanoge, toh mere prem ko swikaar karoge; jaisa hi maine apne Pita ki aagyaaon ko maana hai, aur uske prem ko swikaar kiya hai.

“Maine ye baate tum se isliye kahi hai, ki mera anand tum me bana rahe, aur tumhara anand pura ho jaaye” (John 15:10–11).

Yah vahee hai jo Lehi ne apne sapne mein mahasoos kiya tha jab usne jeevan ke vrksh ka phal chakha tha—jo Parmeshwar ke prem ko darshaata hai. Unhonne kaha, “Jaise hee mai ne uska phal khaaya, is se meri aatma atyant aanand se bhar gayi” (1 Nephi 8:12; 11:21–23 bhi dekhiye).

Lehi ne ek doosra tareeka bhee bataaya jis se ham apne jeevan mein khushiyaan laa sakte hain, jab unhonne kaha, “Isliye, mai chaahane laga ki mera parivaar bhee [phal] khaaye” (1 Nephi 8:12).

Doosron ko Khushee Paane mein Madad Karna

King Benjamin ke logon kee tarah, ham bhee “anand se bhare hain” jab hamein apne paapon se kshama aur “antaraatma kee shakti” ka anubhav praapt hota hai (Mosiah 4:3). Ham ise phir se mahasoos karte hain jab ham baahar kee or dekhte hain aur parivaar ke sadasyon aur anye logon ko vahee aanand aur shaanti praapt karne mein madad karna chaahate hain.

Ek yuva vyakti ke roop mein, Alma ne Ishu Masih ke susamaachaar ke vipreet har cheez mein khushee kee talaash kee. Ek devdoot dwaara daante jaane ke baad, vah mrtyu tak pashchataap karte huwe “kadave” se “achchhe” tak ka lamba safar tay kar chuka hai” (Mosiah 27:28) aur Uddhaarkarta kee prachur krpa bhi. Saalo baad, Alma ne utsaah-poorvak apne bete Helaman se kaha:

“Aur oh, kya anand, aur mai ne kaisee adbhut roshnee dekhee; haan, meree aatma utnee hee khushee se bhar gayee jitnaa mera dard tha! …

“Haan, aur us samay se ab tak, mai ne nirantar parishram kiya hai, taaki mai aatmaaon ko pashchataap kee or laa sakoon; ki mai unhein us atyaadhmik aanand ka swaad chakhaoon jo mai ne chakha hai. …

“Haan, aur ab dekh, he mere bete, Prabhu mujhe mere parishram ke phal se atyadhik aanand deta hai;

“Kyonki us vachan [Ishu Masih ka susamaachaar] ke kaaran jo us ne mujhe diya hai, dekho, Parmeshwar se bahut utpann hue hain, aur jaisa mai ne chakha hai, vaisa hee unhonne chakha hai.” (Alma 36:20, 24–26).

Ek doosre avsar mein, Alma ne gavahi dee:

“Yah meree mahima hai, ki shaayad mai kisee praanee ke mann ko badalne ke liye Parmeshwar ke haath ka saadhan ban sakoon; aur yah meree khushee hai.

“Aur sunno, jab mai apne bahut se bandhuwo ko pashchataap karte, aur apne Prabhu Parmeshwar ke paas aate dekhta hoon, tab meri aatma anand se bhar aati hai” (Alma 29:9–10).

Alma ne us atyadhik khushee ka bakhaan(proclaim) kiya jo use tab mahasoos huee jab doosron ko aatmaon ko Masih ke paas laane mein saphalta milee:

“Lekin mai akele apnee saphalata se khush nahin hoon, balki mere bhaiyon [musaayaah ke putron] kee saphalata se meree khushee aur bhee adhik hai, jo Nephi kee bhoomi tak rahe hain.

“Dekho, unhonne bahut parishram kiya hai, aur bahut phal lae hain; aur unka pratiphal kitna bada hoga!

“Jab mai apne in bhaaiyon ki safaltaa par dhyaan deta hoon tab anand ke maare meri aatma maano sharir se baahar ho jaati hai, itna mahaan hai mera anand” (Alma 29:14–16).

Ham “Masih ke shuddh prem” se vahee aanand pa sakte hain jo ham doosaron se pyaar karte hain (Moroni 7:47; aur dekhiye verse 48), baate saty ko punah sthaapit karein, aur nimantran de vaacha ke logon ke saath ikattha hone kaa.

Klesh ke beech Khushee

Hamein is baat se darna nahin chaahiye ki nashvarata mein jin pareekshaon aur chunautiyon ka ham anivaary roop se saamna karte hain, ve hamaare aanand ko rokengee ya nasht kar dengee. Alma ek aisa vyakti tha jiskee doosron ke prati nishvaarth seva ke liye use bahut keemat chukaanee padee. Unhein kaaraavaas(suffered imprisonment), lambe samay tak bhookh aur pyaas, maar-peet, jaan se maarne kee dhamakiyaan aur baar-baar uphaas aur asveekrti ka saamna karna pada. Aur phir bhee, vah sab “Masih ke aanand mein doob gaya” (Alma 31:38). Shaayad Alma kee peeda ne uske baad aane vaalee khushee ko aur bhee adhik badha diya.

President Nelson hamein yaad dilaate hain ki aanand ne Uddhaarkarta kee peeda mein ek bhoomika nibhaee—“us aanand ke liye jo uske saamne rakha gaya tha [usne] kroos ka dukh saha” (Hebrews 12:2).

“Uske baare me socho! Uske liye prithvi par sabse adhik khashtdaayi anubhav sahan karne ke liye, hamare Uddhaarkarta ne anand par dhyaan kendrit kiya!

“Aur kaun sa anand Uske saamne rakha gaya tha? Nischit roop se isme safai, upchaar aur hamein mazboot banane ki anand shaamil thi; pashchataap karne waale sabhi ke paapon ka bhugtaan karne ki anand; aapke aur mere liye yaha sambhav hai ki hum ghar laotenge—saaf aur yogye—apne Swargiye Maata-pita aur parivaaron ke saath rahne ke liye.

“Yadi ham us khushee par dhyaan kendrit karte hain jo hamein, ya jinhen ham pyaar karte hain, unhen milegee, to ham kya sahan kar sakte hain jo vartamaan mein bhaaree, dardnaak, daraaona, anuchit ya asambhav lagta hai?”²

Hamesha rahane vaala aanand Ishu Masih ke susamaachaar mein tike rahane aur doosron ko bhee aisa karne mein madad karne se aata hai. Sthaayee aanand tab aata hai jab ham Parmeshwar ke prem mein bane rahate hain, Unkee aagyaon ka paalan karte hain aur Uddhaarkarta kee krpa praapt karte hain. Susamaachaar maarg mein, yaatra mein aanand ke saath-saath anth mein bhee aanand hai. Ishu Masih ka susamachaar jiwan bitaawe ke ek maarg hai.
