Humare Dhaarmik Badhanti aur Shikshan ke Liye

Jab main ek jawaan ladka tha, mere maata-pita ko ek uphaar prapt hua tha jo mere chote bhaai David aur mujhe bahut akarshit lagta tha. Wah uphaar devdut Moroni se Bhavishyevkta Joseph Smith ko prapt hua ek chota sa sone ke paleton ka pratirup tha. Jabki mujhe yaad hai, paleton ke pratirup mein 10 ya zyada sone ke panne the jispar shabd likhe hue the. Phirbhi, weh pannon humare dhyaan mein nahi the.

Hum Punahsthaapna ke kahaniyon ko sun kar bade hue the. Hum jaantey the aur Praathmik mein sone ke paleton ko pahaadon ki gaharaai mein chupe ke bare mein gaya tha aur devdut Moroni ne Joseph Smith tak pahunchaya ko.¹ Jab humare jawaan bhudhi mein aage jaane ki ikcha hua, waha ek hi cheez tha jo hum dekhna chahatey the: kya likha hua tha paleton ke pratirup ke us chote se bhaag mein jo do chote sone ke rassion se bandha hua tha par?

Paletein kai dinon tak ek chote se mez par padi rahi humare uch karne ke ummeed aagne tak. Bhale hi humne saaf taur se jaan liya tha ki yah wahi paletein nahi thi jo Moroni ne diya tha, hum bandhe hue bhaag ko dekhna chahatey the. To kai stithiyon mein, Mere bhaai aur maine battar lagane waali churi, puraane jammachon, aur kuch bhi jo hume laga ki bhaag ko khol dega se koshish kiya taaki andar ka dekh sakein ki kya tha- parantu itna nahi ki chote bandhanon ko todh sakein. Hum itna bhudimaan to the ki apne kiye hue ka koi bhi nashaan na chode. Humare niraash aur dukhi hone se the jab humare koshish nakaamyaab hui.

Mujhe abhi bhi pata nahi hai kya-kuchbhi kya- us bhandhe paleton mein chupa hua tha. Parantu humare sharmila kahani ki kosish yah thi ki aaj tak, mujhe nahi pata hai ki kya likha hua tha peetal ke pannon par jo padhaana tha. Main sirf yah sochta hoon ki us mein Joseph Smith aur Teen aur Aant Gawaahiyon ki Punahsthaapna aur gawaahiyon ki kahani likhi hui hogi, jinhone Moroni ke likhe hue sahi paleton ko dekha tha.

Is dharti ke Rachne tak, humare priye Swarg ke Pita ne Apne bachchon ko bhavishyevaktaaoun dwara maarg, neetatav, aur shikshanon ko diya hai. Uske shabdon ko in bhavishyevaktaaoun dwara likha gaya hi aur humare badhanti aur shikshan ke liye susmachaar mein likha gaya hai. Nephi ne is tarah batlaya:

“Kyunki dharamvidhiyon mein meri aatma anand vibhor hoti hai aur mera hriday unke mann mein magan hai, aur main unhein apni santon ki shiksha aur laabh ke liye likh raha hoon.

“Dekho, meri aatma Prabhu ki baaton mein anandith hai; aur jin baaton ko maine dekha aur sunna, un par mera hriday lagataar manan kar raha hai.”²

Saath mein, pichale vidhaan aur is aakhari vidhaan ke pure hone tak ke dauraan, Prabhu ke Girjaghar ke laayak sadasyon ko Pavitra Aatma ko humesha saath rahane ka aashirwaad prapt hua hai, jo humare dhaarmik badhanti aur shikshn mein madad kartein hain.

Mere jawaan bhaai ek nek insaan hai ko jaantey hue, mujhe yah pata hai ki usne paleton ke pratirup mein likhe sabhi shabdon ko padha hoga humare maata-pita ke ghar par. Main, phirbhi, un sachche aur mahaan sachchaai ko andekha kar diya tha aur balki un cheezon ko dhoondhane mein dhyaan ko lagaya jo jaanna hi nahi tha.

Dhurbhaagye se, humare badhanti aur shikshan kai baar tham yah rukh bhi sakta hai ek murakh ikcha ke kaaran “jaana jo zaroori nahi hai.” Yeh kaarye un cheezon tak le jaatein hain jo is samay par samajhne ki zaroori nahi hai, abhi tak ke sundar sachchaaiyon ko andekha karna jo humare aur humare stithiyon ke liye hai-Nephi ki wah sachchaaiyon jo humare shikshan aur munaafe ke liye batlaya gaya hai.

Nephi ke bhaai Jacob ne sikhlaya: “Dekho Prabhu ke kaam mahaan aur ashchariyejanak hai. Uske rahassiyon ki gaharaaiyon ko khojna kitna katin hai; aur Uske sam maargon ko samajh pana manushyon ke liye asambho hai.”³

Jacob ki vaani hume sikhlata hai ki hum puri tarah se Parmeshwar ke bhed ko “nahi jaan saktein hai” ya dabaao daal saktey hain hum jaane ki liye. Balki, Parmeshwar ki rahasye Pavitra Aatma ki shakti ke dwara sirf Uske ikcha ke anusaar unke liye khol diye jaanege.⁴

Jacob aage batlaya:

“Aur koi bhi manushye uske maargon ko nahi jaanta jab wah us par inhein prakat na kare; isliye, bhaaiyon, Parmeshwar ke prakatikaranon ki upeksha mat karo.

“Kyunki dekho, uske vachan ki shakti ke dwara manushye prithivi par aya. … To wah , kyunki prithivi ko aagya nahi de sakta tha iske upar uske haaton ki kaarigari, uski ikcha aur marzi se kyo nahi ho sakti?

“Isliye, bhaaiyon, Prabhu ko salaha dene ka prayaas na kare, lekin uske haathon se salaha lein.”⁵

Parmeshwar ke bhed ko jaanne ke liye, ya wah cheezein jo sirf pratikaran se jaani ja sakti hai ke liye, hume Nephi ke uddhaaran par hi chalna hoga, jisne kaha, “Aayu mein bahut chota tha, phirbhi sharir se apni awastha se adhik hasht-pusht aur balwaan tha, aur Parmeshwar ke bhedon ko jaanne ke liye meri badi abhilaasha thi, isliye, maine Prabhu ko pukara; aur sunno , unhone mujhe darshan diye, aur mere hriday ko itna vinamar kiya ki mane apne pita dwara kahe gaye har ek shabdon par vishwaas kiya.”⁶ Prabhu ne Khudh hi aage batlaya ki Nephi ne apne vishwaas se kiya, lagan aur deen hriday se khoja, aur Uske aagyaaoun ka paalan kiya .⁷

Nephi ke uddhaaran mein gyaan ko dhoondhane mein (1) ek sachche chaahat, (2)  vinamrata, (3)  prarthna (4) bhavishyevakta mein vishwaas, aur (5) vishwaas, (6) lagan, aur (7) laayak se karna shaamil hai. Yah tarika se dhoondhana mere liye ek mahaan tulna hai “nahi jaan saktein hai,” ya us rahasye ko samay se pahale jaane ki koshish karne mein jo Prabhu ke samay ke anussar pata chalna hai aur Pavitra Aatma ki shakti ke dwara.

Is naye peedi mein, humne yah jaana hai ki gyaan ko pa saktein hain aur turant hi pana chahiye; jab jaankaari asaani se prapt na ho ya mile, use humesha andekha ya vishwaas nahi karna chahiye. Kyunki kai jaankarion ke kaaran, bina hi sahi pahachaan ko jaane sadhanon par zyada vishwaas nahi karna chahiye balki Prabhu ke banaye hue vyaktigat pratikaran ko prapt karne par nirbhar hona chahiye. Jacob ne humare samay ke liye batlaya hoga jab unhone kaha: “Lekin dekho, [weh] hati log the; aur unhone spashta ke shabdon ko andekha kar diya … aur un baaton ki khojh karne lage jisse weh samajhtey nahi the. Isliye, unke andhepan ke karan, yah andhapan lashye se pare dekhne ke kaaran aya tha, unka patan avnashye hona tha; kyuki Parmeshwar ne apni spashta ko unse waapis leliye, aur unhein weh baatein di jo weh nahi samjhtey the, kyunki unhone iski ikcha ki thi.”⁸

Aamne saamne bhi Pradhaan Dieter F. Uchtdorf ki is salaha mein. Usne prachaarakon ke bare mein batlaya, parantu uske shabh sabhi dhaarmik sachchaai ko dhoondhane waaalon ke liye hai. “Jab … prachaarakhein Ishu Maseeh mein vishwaas rakhtein hain,” usne kaha, “weh Prabhu mein untna vishwaas rakhenge ki Uske aagyaaoun ka paalan karenge- bhale hi weh puri tarah se kaaran ko khudh ke liye nahi jaanege. Unke vishwaas lagan aur kaarye ke dwara badhenge.”⁹

Pichale April ke maha sammelan ke dauraan, Elder Dallin H. Oaks ne samjhaya: “Girjaghar bahut ki koshish kar raha hai humare paas lekh ko pahuchaane ke liye, parantu humare chaapne jaane ke bawjood, humare sadasyon ke paas kuch mul sawal hotein hain jo shikshan se pure nahi hote. …Wah jo sirf vishwaas se sikha ja sakta hai.”¹⁰

Puraane bhavishyevaktaon ne yahi sikshan ko sikhlaya tha, batlatey hue ki samay beet gaya par insaan nahi badale aur Prabhu ke sikhne ka paat anant tak hai. Is Puraane Niyam proverb ko dekho: “Tu apni smajh ka sahara na lena, waran sampurn mann se Prabhu par bharosa rakhna.”¹¹

Isaiah ne samjhaya, Prabhu ke liye batlatey hue, “ Kyunki meri aur tumhari gati mein aur meri aur tumhari soch vichaaron mein, akaash aur prithivi ka antar hai.”¹²

Nephi ne ek aur gawahi diya jab usne batlaya, “Wah Prabhu, maine tum par vishwaas kiya aur sadeo tum par vishwaas karta hi rahunga.”¹³

Prabhu mein vishwaas aur bharosa humare gyaan ke liye zaroori hai jaanna ki Uska gyaan humare khudh ke se mahaan hai. Hume yah bhi jaanna chahiye ki Uska yojna dhaarmik badhanti aur shikshan ke liye sabse zyada shakti deta hai.

Humne kabhi sich nahi tha “ki cheezon ka pura gyaan milega” is maranshil jiwan ke dauraan. Balki humne socha tha “vishwaas hai to un andekhi cheezon ki asha rakho jo ki sach hai.”¹⁴

Nephi ki mahaan vishwaas se bhi, usne apne kam samjh se jaana jab usne devdut ko jawaab diya jisne use pucha tha, “Kya tum Parmeshwar ki kripa ko jaantey ho?” Nephi ne jawaab diya, “main jaanta hoon ki Wah apne bachcho se prem karta hai; phirbhi, main sabhi baaton ka arth nahi jaanta.”¹⁵

Ussi tarah, Alma ne apne putra Helaman se batlaya, “Ab in bhedon ko abhi puri tarah se mujh par prakat nahi kiya gaya hai; isliye main dhirajh rakhunga.”¹⁶

Main apni gawahi deta hoon ki humare Swarg ke Pita Apne bachcho se prem karte hain, aur phirbhi, Nephi aur Alma ki tarah, main sabhi cheezon ka matlab nahi jaanta hoon. Aur mujhe sabhi cheezon ko jaana zaroori bhi nahi hai; mujhebhi shaanti se thamna chahiye aur Prabhu ka intazaar karna chahiye, jaantey hue ki “Mere paas sabhi kuch ka gawahi hai ki yah sabhi kuch sachcha hai; aur tumhare paas bhi sabhi cheezon ka gwaahi hai ki weh sachche hai. …

“… Aur sabhi cheezein suchit karti hai ki Parmeshwar hai; ha, yaha tak ki prithivi aur iske upar bhi sari cheezein, ha, iski iski gati, ha, aur garah jo ki apne niyamit duri par chalti hai weh sabhi saakshi hai ki Mahan Srishtikarta hai.”¹⁷

Jab ki hum jaantey hai ki hum budhimaan aur bhakti purn Swarg ke Pita ke karamchaari hai, “Are phir,” kyu nahi Usko hume dhaarmik badhanti aur shiksha ka maarg dikhlaane do “uski ikcha aur marzi se” naki apne khudh ke?¹⁸

Wah jiwit hai. Ishu Maseeh Uska Eklauta Putra aur manushyon ka Mukhtidata hai. Maseeh ke anmol Praeschit ke karan, Uske paas gyaan aur dirishti hai hume is antim dinon men maarg dikhlane ke liye. Joseph Smith Uska bhavishyevakta hai, Uske raajye ko is dharti par puri tarah se punahstaapit karne ke liye. Thomas S. Monson Uska aaj ka jiwit bhavishyevakta aur bhaashankarta hai, Main is ka sachcha gawahi deta hoon Ishu Maseeh ke naam se, amen.
