Ishu Masih mein Ekta ke liye ek Petarn

Jaise hi ham 4 Nephi, ke logon ki tarah Ishu Masih mein ekjut hote hain, ek hone ki hamari ichcha hamare matbhedon ko khatm kar deti hai aur khushi ki or le jaati hai.

Masih ki murti

Ham aise yug mein rahate hain jab duniya bhar mein kalah aur vivaad ka jvaar badh raha hai. Teknologi ke dwara sahayeta praapt aur un logon dwara uksaaya gaya jinke dil thande ho gaye hai, ye vibhaajankaari[divisive] taakaten hamare dilon ko tiraskaar se bharne aur vivaad ke saath hamare sanchaar ko bhrasht karne ki dhamki deti hain. Saampradaayik(Communal) sambandh toot rahe hain. Yuddh ugr ho rahe hain.

In prshthabhoomi mein, Ishu Masih ke sachche anuyaayee shaanti ke liye taraste hain aur sakriy roop se ek alag tarah ke samaaj ka nirmaan karna chahate hain—ek aisa samaaj jo Ishu Masih ki shikshaon par sthaapit ho. In prayojan ke liye, Prabhu ne hamen “ek hone ka aadesh diya hai; aur yadi tum ek nahin ho to tum mere nahin ho” (Doctrine and Covenants 38:27). Vaastav mein, ekta Ishu Masih ke sachche Girjaghar ki pehchaan hai.

Ham divishan aur kontenshan ki taakaton ke khilaaph kaise kaam karte hain? Hum ekta kaise praapt kare?

Saubhaagya se, Mormon Dharamshaastr mein 4 Nephi hamein ek udhaaran deta hai. Ih adhyaay sankshep mein bataata hai ki Rakshak ke unke paas aane, unhein shiksha dene aur unke beech Apna Girjaghar sthaapit karne ke baad log kaise rahate the. Ih akauntt darshaata hai ki kaise in logon ne aanandamay(blissful) aur shaantipurn ekta haasil ki, aur yah hamein ek petarn deta hai jise aazmaake ham svayan bhi isi ekta ko praapt kar sakte hain.

Badlaao

4 Nephi 1:1 mein, ham padhate hain: “Ishu ke shishyon ne aaspaas ke sabhi deshon mein Masih ka ek girjaghar banaaya tha. Aur [log] unake paas aaye, aur vaastav mein apne paapon ka pashchaataap kiya.”

Ham Prabhu aur Rakshak Ishu Masih ke ird-gird ekjut hote hain. Jaise hi har ek vyakti Ishu Masih, Unke susamaachaar aur Unke Girjaghar ke baare mein sikhata hai, Pavitra Aatma har ek vyakti ke hrday mein sachchai ki gawahi deta hai. Man mein se har ek tab Rakshak par vishwaas karne aur pashchaataap karke Uska anusaran karne ke nimantran ko swikaar kar sakta hai.

Is prakaar ek vyakti ki badlaao ki yaatra shuroo hoti hai—matlabi aur paapapurn ichchaon se dur aur Rakshak ki or. Woh hamare vishwaas ki neev hai. Aur jaise hi ham mein se har ek vyakti har vichaar mein uski or dekhta hai (dekhiye Doctrine and Covenants 6:36), Woh hamare jeevan mein ek ekeekrt shakti ban jaata hai.

Vachanein

4 Nephi mein rikord yah bataata hai ki jo log Girjaghar mein aae aur apane paapon se pashchaataap kiya unhen “Ishu ke naam par bapatisma diya gaya; aur unhen Pavitra Aatma bhi praapt hui” (4 Nephi 1:1). Unhonne Parmeshwar ke saath—ek anubandh ek vishesh, bainding rishta—mein pravesh kiya tha.

Jab ham anubandh banate hain aur usaka paalan karte hain, to ham vyaktigat roop se Prabhu ka naam lete hain. Iske alawa, hum ek logon ke rup me bhi Unka naam lete hai. Weh sabhi jo anubandh banaate hain aur unhen nibhaane ka prayaas karte hain, Prabhu ke log, Unka vishesh khazaana ban jaate hain (dekhiye Exodus 19:5). Is prakaar, hum vyaktigat aur saamuhik rup se vachanbadh maarg par chalte hai. Parmeshwar ke saath hamara vachan sambandh hamein ek saamaany kaaran aur ek saamaany pehchaan deta hai. Jaise hi ham apne aap ko Prabhu se jodate hain, Woh hamare “hrday ko ekta mein aur ek dusre ke prati prem mein ek saath baandhane” mein hamari madad karta hai (Mosiah 18:21).

Sachcha vyavahar, Samaanata, aur Gareebon ki Madad

Ih 4 Nephi mein vivaran jaaree hai: “Unke beech koi vivaad aur behais nahin the, aur har ekvyakti ne ek dusre ke saath nyaayapurvak vyavahar kiya.

“Aur unme saari cheezein ek samaan theen; isliye unmen koi dhani ya gareeb nahi tha, daas ya svatantr nahin the, parantu weh sabhi svatantr ho gae, aur divya upahaar ko grahan kiya tha.” (4 Nephi 1:2–3).

Hamare asthaayee vyavahaaron mein, Prabhu chahate hain ki ham ek-dusre ke prati nishpaksh aur nyayepushta rahen aur ek-dusre ko dhokha na de ya ek-dusre ka phaayada na uthaen. (dekhiye 1 Thessalonians 4:6). Jaise-jaise ham Prabhu ke kareeb aate hain, ham “ek dusre ko chot pahunchane ka man nahin rakhenge, balki shaanti se rahenge, aur har aadmi ko uske anusaar bhugataan karenge” (Mosiah 4:13).

Prabhu ne hamen gareebon aur zarooratamandon ki dekhbhaal karane ka bhi aadesh diya hai. Hamen unki madad karane ke liye “[hamari] padaarth ka hissa” banana chahiye, aisa karane ki hamari kshamata ke anusaar, unhen jadge karne ke bina (dekhiye Mosiah 4:21–27).

Ham mein se har ek ko “apane bhai ka apane samaan aadar karna chahiye” (Doctrine and Covenants 38:24). Agar hamen Prabhu ke log banna hai aur ekjut hona hai, to hamen na kewal ek dusre ke saath sammaan vyavahaar karana chahiye, balki hamen vaastav mein ek dusre ko sammaan ke roop mein dekhna chahiye aur apane dil mein mehsoos karana chahiye ki ham sammaan hain —Parmeshwar ke saamane sammaan, sammaan mooly ke aur sammaan kshamata.

Aagya Paalan

4 Nephi se agala paath is saral abhivyakti mein aata hai: “Weh un aagyaon ke anusaar chale jo unhen apane Prabhu aur apane Parmeshwar se milee thee” (4 Nephi 1:12).

Prabhu ne in logon ko Apna siddhaant sikhaya tha, unhen aagyaen di thee, aur un par prashaasan karane ke liye sewakon ko bulaaya tha. Aisa karne ka Unka ek uddeshy yah sunishchit karna tha ki unake beech koi vivaad na ho (dekhiye 3 Nephi 11:28–29; 18:34).

Prabhu aur Uske sewakon ki shikshaon ke prati hamari aagyaakaarita hamare ekeekrt hone ke liye aavashyak hai. Ismen jab bhi ham kam paden to pashchaataap karane ki aagya ka paalan karane aur har din behtar karane aur behtar banane ka prayaas karate hue ek-dusre ki madad karane ki hamari pratibaddhata shaamil hai.

Ek Saath Milna

Iske baad, ham siikhte hain ki 4 Nephi mein log “[jaaree rahe] upwaas aur prarthana mein, aur prarthana karne aur Prabhu ke vachan sunane ke liye aksar ek saath milte the” (4 Nephi 1:12).

Hamen ek saath milne ki zaroorat hai. Hamari saaptaahik pooja baithaken hamare liye vyaktigat aur saamuhik roop se taakat khojane ka ek mahatvapurn avasar hai. Ham sekrament mein bhaag lete hain, sikhte hain, prarthana karate hain, ek saath gaate hain aur ek dusre ka samarthan karate hain. Anye sabhaen bhi apanepan, mitrata aur saajha uddeshy ki bhaavana ko badhaava dene mein madad karti hain.

Pyaar

4 Nephi ka rikord hamen bataata hai ki shaayad is sab ki bhavy chaabi kya hai—woh cheej jiske bina vaastavik ekta praapt nahin ki ja sakti hai: “Parmeshwar ke prem ke karan bhoomi mein koi kontenshan nahin tha jo dilon mein basa tha logon ki” (4 Nephi 1:15).

Vyaktigat shaanti tab praapt hoti hai jab ham vinamr samarpan bhaav se Parmeshwar se sachcha prem karate hain. Badi aur mukhye aagya to yahi hai. Kisi se ya kisi bhi cheez se adhik Parmeshwar ko pyaar karna woh shart hai jo sachchi shaanti, aaraam, atmavishwaas aur anand laati hai. Jaise-jaise ham Parmeshwar aur Ishu Masih ke prati prem vikasit karate hain, parivaar aur padosiyon ke prati prem svaabhaavik roop se utpann ho jaega.

Sabse bada anand aap tab anubhao karenge jab aap Parmeshwar aur Unke sabhi bachchon ke liye pyaar se bhar jaaenge.

Dayaluta, Masih ka shuddh prem, kontenshan ka pratikaar(antidote) hai. Yeh Ishu Masih ke sachche chele ka pramukh lakshan hai. Jab ham Parmeshwar ke saamne khud ko vinamr karte hain aur apne dil ki pure oorja se prarthna karte hain, to Parmeshwar hamen dayaluta denge. (dekhiye Moroni 7:48).

Jaise-jaise ham sabhi Parmeshwar ke prem ko apane dilon mein basaana chahate hain, ekta ka chamatkaar hamen puri tarah se swaabhaavik lagega.

Divye Pehchaan

Ant mein, 4 Neph ke logon ne ekta ka sanket pradarshit kiya jo hamare dhyaan ke yogye hai: “Waha pe na koi chor, na koi khooni, na koi Lamanites, na to koi bhed-bhaao hi tha; parantu sabhi ikattha the, Masih ki santaan, aur Parmeshwar ke raajye ke waaris the.” (4 Nephi 1:17).

Weh lebal, jinhonne saikadon varshon se logon ko vibhaajit kiya tha, ek adhik sthaayi aur utkrsht pahachaan ke saamane piche hatate ja rahe hain. Unhonne khud ko—aur baaki sabhi ko—Swarg ke Pita aur Ishu Masih ke saath apane rishte ke anusaar dekha.

Daiversiti aur matabhed hamare liye achche aur mahatvapurn ho sakate hain. Lekin hamari sabase mahatvapurn pehchaan ve hain jo hamari divye utpatti aur uddeshy se sambandhit hain.

Sabse pehle aur sabse mahatvapurn baat, ham mein se har ek Parmeshwar ki bachche hai. Dusra, Girjaghar ke sadasye ke roop mein, ham mein se har ek vaachan ka bachcha hai. Aur teesra, hamein se har ek Ishu Masih ka shishye hai. Main ham sabhi se aagrah karata hoon ki kisi anye pehchaankarta ko “in teen sthaayee padanaamon ko visthaapit karne, pratisthaapit karne ya praathamikata lene ki anumati na de.”

Ek Ho

Parmeshwar hamen Uske paas aane ke liye bulaata hai. Waha har kisi ke liye jagah hai. Ham apni sanskrti, raajneeti, jaateeyata, svaad aur kai anye tarikon se bhinn ho sakate hain. Lekin jaise hi ham Ishu Masih mein ekjut hote hain, aise matabhed apane mahatv mein pheeke pad jaate hain aur ek hone ki hamari prabal ichcha se visthaapit ho jaate hain—taaki ham Unke ho saken.

4 Nephi. mein sikhae gae paathon ko hrdayangam karen. Jaisa ki ham mein se har ek ekta ke in aavashyak tatvon ko apane jeevan mein shaamil karane ka prayaas karata hai, hamare baare mein yah kaha ja sakata hai, jaisa ki unake baare mein kaha gaya tha, “Nishchit roop se un sabhi logon mein se koi bhi adhik khushahaal vyakti nahin ho sakata hai jo usake haath se banae gae the.Parmeshwar” (4 Nephi 1:16).
