Bahut Anmol

Pachim Africa ke Sierra Leone desh me ghumte samay, mai ek stake Praemri Lidar dwara sanchalit ek sabha me gayi. Mariama itni pyaar, mahima, aur nidar ho ke aguwaai kar rahi thi ki ayse lagta raha u bahut din se Girjaghar ke sadasye hai. Lekin, Mariama ke bahut din nahin hois raha girjaghar join karke.

Uske choti bhaini Girjaghar join karis aur Mariama ke bulais apan sange Girjaghar ke klas mein. Mariama sandesh sun ke bahut laaik karis. Lesson shudhta ke kaanoon(law of chastity) pe raha. Uh maangis ki missionaries long uske aur padhawe aur uske Profat Joseph Smith ke gawahi milis. Uh 2014 mein beptaiz hois aur uske larki pichla mahina(Agast me). I socho, jon dui jaruri siksha se Mariama mein badlaao aais raha shudhta ke kaanoon aur Profat Joseph Smith, uh dui baat jiske duniya jaada karke bematlab, purana, ya to asubidha dene waala bole hai. Lekin Mariama gawahi dis ki uh ek parwana(moth) ke rakam batti ke or chali aais raha. Uh bolis, “Jab hamme susamachaar mila, ham apne aap ke paai liya.” Uh apan mol sundar sidhaant me paais. Parmeshwar ke ek putri ke rup me uske mol uh jaanis Pavitra Aatma ke zariye.

Ab hum long India(Bhaarat) ke Singh bhaini long se milega. Renu, jon dur raait saaid pe hai, paanch bhaini long me se pehli rahi Girjaghar join kare ke, i vichaar baatis hai:

“Girjaghar ke baare mein pata lagae se pehle, hum kabhi nahin socha ki hum bahut speshal(khaas) hai. Hum uh sab long me se ek hi raha, aur hamaar samaaj aur sanskriti hamme utna nahin sikhaais ki hamaar ek insaan ke rup me koi mol raha. Jab hum susamachaar sikha aur jaana ki hum hum long ke Swarg ke Pita ke beti raha, humme badal dis. Achanak hum etna khaas fil kare laga raha—Parmeshwar humme banais aur hamaar aatma aur hamaar jiwan ke bhi koi mol aur matlab raha.

“Hamaar jiwan me susamachaar aae se pahle, hum sab taaim mangta raha aur sab long ke dikhaae ki hum koi khaas hai. Lekin jab hum sach jaan giya, ki hum Parmeshwar ke larki hai, humme koi ke kuch bhi dikhaawe ke nahin pada. Hum janta raha ki hum khaas hai. … Kabhi i nahin sochna ki tum bekaar hai.”

Pradhaan Thomas S. Monson achcha se bolis jab uh i sab baat dohraais: “Ek aatma ka mol hai uske Parmeshwar ke rakam bane ke haesiyat.”¹

Hum khush kismat raha ki humme ek aur jawaan mahila milis jon yahi sachchaai samajhta raha. Uske naam Taiana hai. Hum uske Salt Lake Shahar me Praemri Children ke Aspataal me mila raha. Taiana haae skool mein ek junia raha jab uske batawa ge ki uske cancer hai. Uh athara(18) mahine tak bahaduri se ladis kuch hafta pahle mare se pahle. Taiana ujiyaala aur pyaar se bhari thi. Uh apan faelane waale muskaan ke kostin mashoor raha aur uske traid mark raha “dui-angutha uppar karke dikhana.” Jab aur sab koi puchi, “Kaae tum, Taiana?” uske jawaab raha, “Hum kaae nahin?” Taiana Uddhaarkarta ke rakam bane mangta raha, jiske u bahut pyaar karta raha. Uske mile la taaim, hum sikha ki Taiana apan divye mol janta raha. I jaan ke ki uh Parmeshwar ke ek larki hai se uske shaanti aur saahas milis apan mushkil ke saamna khushi se kare ke.

Mariama, Renu, aur Taiana hum long ke sikhaawe hai ki Aatma hum long ke alag se batai hum long ke divye mol konchi hai. Sachche ke jaanna ki aap Parmeshwar ke ek larki hai, aapka jiwan ke har pehlu pe asar kari aur tumme raait se disha batai har roj ke sewa me. Pradhaan Spencer W. Kimball i mahima bhara shabd se i samjhaais hai:

“Parmeshwar aapka Pita hai. Uh tumse prem kare hai. Uh aur aap ke maa jon swarg me hai aapke bahut anmol maane hai. … Tum alag hai. Alag rakam ke, anant budhi se banaya gaya jisse tumme anant jiwan sake mile.

“Aapka mann me koi sawaal nahi rehwe aapka apan mol ke baare me. Susamachaar ke yojna ke maksad hai tum sab long ke ekdam behtar insaan banaye, jon hai anant pragati aur parmeshwar jaisa banna.”²

Humme dui jokhim waale shabd ke beech ke antar batae ke jarurat batawe do: worth(mol) aur worthiness(yogyata). I duno ek nahin hai. Aatmik mol ke matlab hai apne aap ke uh rakam anmol samjho jaise Swarg ke Pita samjhe hai, na ki jaise duniya samjhe hai. Hum long ke i dharti pe aae se pahle hum long ke mol tay kar lewa ge raha. “Parmeshwar ke pyaar hamesha ke kostin hai aur uh barkaraar rahi.”³

Dusra taraf, yogyata mile jab aagya paalan kar jaawe. Agar hum long paap karega, hum long kamti yogye rahega, lekin kabhi hum long bekaar nahin rehta! Hum long pashchataap karte rehta hai aur Ishu ke rakam bane ke koshish karta apan yogyata rakhte huwe. Jaise Pradhaan Brigham Young sikhaais: “Jon sabse chota, sabse nicha aatma dharti pe hai abhi …, bahut anmol hai.”⁴ Chaahe kuch bhi hoe, hum long ke Swarg ke Pita ke nazar me hum long ke mol rahi.

I badhiya sachchaai ke baojood, hum long me se kitna log, kabhi na kabhi, tadpe hai apne aap ke baare me chota soch ya ehsaas ke saath? Hum bhi to. I ek aasaan jaal hai. Saitaan sab jhut ke baap hai, jyaada kar ke jab hum long ke apan divye banawat aur lakshye ke galat tarah se batae ke rehwe. Apan baare me nicha sochna theek nahi hae hum long ke liye. Iske bajae hum long ke piche kar de hae. Jaise hum long ke aksar batawa ge hai, “Aapka marzi ke bina koi aapko nicha nahi sake dikhaae.”⁵ Hum long ke apan durbhaagye ke aur koi ke saobhaagye se mukaabla kare ke band kare ke padi. “Mukaabla karna khushiyaali ke chor hai.”⁶

Iske bawajood, Prabhu hum long ke asuwaasan dewe ki jab hum long ke soch shudh rehwe, Uh hum long ke nidarta ke ashish dei, uh nidarta jisse hum long apan sachchaai jaanega. Isse jaruri taaim isse pehle nahi raha Uske baat sune ke. “Apan soch ke lagataar saaf rakho.” Uh bolis, “Tab aap ke nidarta mazbooth hoi Parmeshwar ke saamne; … aur … Pavitra Aatma aap ke sangi saathi rahi.”⁷

Prabhu ne ek aur naya sachchaai bataya Profat Joseph Smith ke: “Jon koi Parmeshwar se paawe, uh maango Parmeshwar se batao konchi kara; aur uske khushi hoin do ki uh yogye hai paaye ke kostin jon Parmeshwar ke batai dis hai.”⁸ Jab hum long Aatma mehsoos karta hai, jaise i ves me batawe, hum long samajhta ki hum long ke ehsaas hum long ke Swarg ke Pita se aawe hai. Hum long jaan jaata aur Uske jayjaykaar karta hum long ke ashish dewe ke baad. Hum long tab khushi manata ki hum long paawe ke kostin yogye hai.

I socho ki tum ek roj sabere skripchas padta hai aur Aatma dhire se tumme batawe ki tum jon chiz padta uh sach hai. Kya tum Aatma ke pehchaan paaega aur khushi hoega ki tum Uske pyaar mehsoos kara hai aur paae ke liye yogye raha?

Sab maa long, tum sait apan chaar-saal ke bacha ke paas ghutna pe rahega jab uh apan sute se pehle la praathna boli. Tum kuch mehsoos kare lagega uske sun ke. Tum pyaar ke garmi aur shaanti mehsoos kare lagega. I ehsaas thoda deri ke rahi, lekin aap jaanega ki, uh taaim pe, aapko paae ke yogye samjha jaawe. Hum long bahut kamti, agar kabhi, bada aatmik prabhaao dekhta apan jindagi me; lekin hum barambaar Pavitra Aatma ke mithe fusfusaahat ke maza lega, jon hum long ke aatmik yogyata ke sachchaai saabit kare.

Prabhu hum long ke mol aur Apan mahaan praeshchit ke balidaan ke beech ke rishta samjhaais jab Uh bolis:

“Yaad rakhna ki Parmeshwar ke liye ek bhi aatma anmol hae.”

“Kyunki, dekho, Prabhu aapka Muktidaata shaarir me maut pais; wahi kaaran uh sab insaan ke peera sahis, ki sab insaan pashchataap kari aur uske nazdik aai.”⁹

Bhaini long, kaahe ki Uh hum long ke kostin jonchi karis, “hum long uske saath pyaar ke kaaran usse bandha hai.”¹⁰ Uh bolis, “Hamaar Pita humme bhejis ki hum krus pe chadhaya jaai; aur hamme krus pe chadhaae ke baad, hum sab insaan ke apan paas laae sakega.”¹¹

Raaja Benjamin bhi Uddhaarkarta ke sange hum long ke atoot rishta ke baare me samjhaais: “Aur suno, uh behkaawa, aur sharir ke peera, bhukh, pyaas, aur thakaan sahi, jitna insaan nahin sahe sake, khali maut se kamti; kaae ki dekho, rom-rom se khoon bahi, itna jaada rahi takleef,¹²apan log ke dushtta aur bure kaam ke dukh ke kaaran.” Uh takleef aur uh takleef ke natija se hum long ke dil pyaar aur abhaar se bhar jaai. Elder Paul E. Koelliker sikhaais, “Jab hum long duniya ke taraf ghiche la rukawat ke hataega aur Uske dhundhe ke kostin apan ayjensi yuz karega, hum long ek swargiye taaqat ke mehsoos karega jon hum long ke Uske taraf lle ke jaai.”¹³ Uddhaarkarta hum long ke tab madad kari apan jindagi ke mushkil dur kare ke jab, hum long Uske aur jon chiz Uh karis ke kostin jaada pyaar mehsoos karega, na ki apan kamjori, apan-aap-pe-daut, ya kharaab aadat pe jyaada dhyaan dewe me. Woh hum logon ke apne aap se bachaae hai.

Hum phir se batai: agar duniya ke ghichaao Uddhaarkarta mein hum long ke biswaas aur bharosa se mazboot hai, tab duniya ke ghichaao sab taaim jeeti. Agar hum long apan niche soch pe dhyaan dega aur apan mol pe daut karega, Uddhaarkarta se bandhe rahe ke bajae, Pavitra Aatma ke ehsaas pehchaane ke mushkil hoi jaai.

Bhaini long, hum long ke nahi chaahi ghabraao apan aap ke jaane me! Jabki aksar bahut easy rehwe hai dhaarmikta amal me laawe ke apan divye pehchaan yaad kare aur apnaawe ke milaan me, hum long i antim dino mein ayse nai sakta kare. Hum bhaini long maango, “Masih me vishwaasi raho; … Masih [hum long] ke safal kare, aur aisan hoi ki Uske takleef aur maut, … aur uske daya aur sehne-ke-shakti, aur uske mahima aur anant jiwan ke aasha, [hum long ke mann] me sada rahe.”¹⁴ Jab Uddhaarkarta hum long ke uncha jagah pe rakkhe, hum long na sirf sakta aur achcha se dekhe hum long kon hai par ki hum long jonchi socha raha usse jaada Uske kareeb hai. Ishu Masih ke pavitra naam se, amen.
