Saat Baar ke Sattar Guna Tak

Galtiyaan to jiwan ka bhaag hai. Piano ko achchi tarah bajana seekhna na mumkin hai bina hazaaro galtiyaan kiye—shaayad milyan bhi. Ek anjaan bhaasha seekhe ke liye, kisi ko hazaaron galtiyaan karne ki sharmindagi sahe ke padi—shaayad milyan bhi. Duniya ke sabse bade khilaadi bhi galtiyaan karna nahi band karte.

Kaha gaya hai “Safalta me, yeh nahi ki asafalta nahin hota, parantu bina josh khoye asafalta se asafalta tak jaawe ke bole hai.”¹

Laait balb ka avishkaar kar, Thomas Edison sochta raha, “Hum 1,000 baar asafal nahin hoya. Laait balb ke avishkaar me 1,000 kadam laga raha.”² Charles F. Kettering asafalta ke “safalta ke rasta pe ishara kare la post” bolis raha.³ Aasha hai, har ek hamari har ek galti gyaan, praapt karne me ek seekh bane, thokar waale patthar ko aage-badhane waale pathar bana ke.

Nephi ke atoot biswaas uske madad kari asafalta se asafalta tak jaawe me jab tak u brass plait nahin paai lis. Moses ke 10 koshish laga tab jaae ke u Egypt se Israelites ke sange bhaage mein kaamyaab hois.

Hum long saait sochega—agar dono Nephi aur Moses Prabhu ke kaam karta raha, kaae nahi Prabhu is me madad karis aur u long ke pehla koshish me safalta deis? Kaae U u long ke maoka dis—aur kaae U hum long ke maoka dewe hai—ki hum long ladkhadaai aur asafal hoi safalta ke koshish me? U sawaal ke dher avashyak jawaab me se, yahan kuch dewa ge hai:

• Pehla, Prabhu jaane hai ki “i sab cheez [hum long] ke anubhav de, aur [hum long] ke achchaai ke kostin rahi.”⁴

• Dusra, hum long ke maoka dewe maange “kadwa chakhe ke, ki [hum long] ke meetha pasand aawe.”⁵

• Teesra, yeh dikhana ki “ladaai to Prabhu ki hai,”⁶ aur khali Usi ke kripa hai ki hum log Uske kaam pura kar paata hai aur Uske rakam banta hai.⁷

• Chautha, kayi Masih jaise gunon ke viksit kare me aur paawe me hum long ke madad kari jise acha se nahi sikhta agar virodh⁸ aur “mushkil ki bhatti me” me nahi jaate.⁹

Isliye, thokar waale patthar aur imperfection se bhare jiwan me, hum sab dusra maoka ke kostin abhaari hai.

1970 me, BYU ke pehle saal me, mai physics ke zarooraton par naya kors le raha tha jo Jae Ballif padhata raha, ek bemisaal profesa. Us kors ke har ek unit ko khalaas karne pe, u hum long ke pariksha deta raha. Agar koi studant ke C milta aur u achcha graid mangta raha, Profesa Ballif uske maoka deta raha ek aur pariksha kare ke jisme wohi sab sawaalon rahe. Agar studant ko B milta dusra koshish me aur u abhi bhi santusht nahi hai, u sakta raha pariksha teesra baar aur aur chautha baar, aur kitne baar karte rehwe. Hamein dher se dusra maoka dewe se, u hamein madad karis behtar bane ke aur ant me apan kaksha me A paawe ke.

Woh asaadhaaran rup se budhimaan profesa tha jon apan studants ke prerna deta raha ki koshish karte rahiye—asafalta ko ek seekh ki tarah lene waala, na ki ek udaasi ka pal, aur asafalta se darna nahi par usse seekhna.

Haal hi me hum i mahaan insaan ke phone se sampark kara uske physics korse lewe ke 47 saal baad. Hum usse pucha kaaye u studant long ke maoka dewe hai apan grade aage kare ke. Uske jawaab raha: “Hum mangta raha studant long ke tarafdaari kare.”

Jabki hum long abhaari hai galti ke baad dusra maoka paawe ke kostin, ya mann se haare ke baad, hum long sab achambhit hai Uddhaarkarta ke kripa pe hamein dusre maoke dene me taaki hum paap se vijay paaye, jo hai ichchaaon ki asafalta.

Uddhaarkarta se badh kar koi hamari tarafdaari nahi karta. Wohi maoka dewe hai hum long ke Uske pariksha ke baar baar lewe ke. Uske rakam bane me sab roj la mushkil long me dher dusra maoka ke zaroorat padi aam insaan long ke, jaise khaane me saodhaani, dheeraj rakhna aur chama kare ke sikho, aalsipan chodhna, aur jaan bujh ke paapon se dur rehna, us me se kuch hai. Agar galti karna insaan ke fitrat hai, kitne aur asafaltaae lagegi ki hum long insaan ke prakriti ke jagah divye ho jaayenge? Hazaaron? Shaayad milyan bhi.

Yeh jaante huwe ki seedha aur patra rasta me mushkil rahi aur asafaltaaon ko hamein har din jhelna padega, Uddhaarkarta ne an anant daan chukaya taaki hamein kayi maokein mile safaltapurwak hamare maransheel stithi ke paar kare ke. Woh jis virodh ka saamna hum long ke kare ke dewe hai aksar mushkil lage hai aur jhelne me namumkin lagega, phir bhi Woh hamein bina aasha ke nahi chode hai.

Hum long ke aasha mazboot rakkhe ke liye jiwan ke mushkil ke saamna kare la taaim, Uddhaarkarta ke kripa hamesha tayaar aur maojood hai. Uske kripa ek “divye maadhyam hai madad ya taakat ka, … ek shakti dene waala taakat hai jo aadmi aur aurat ke maoka dewe hai anant jiwan aur ananta ke paawe ke apan khud ke bharpur khoshishon ke baad(after).”¹⁰ Unka kripa aur Unka prem bhara nazar pure safar me hamare upar hai jab Woh prerit karta, bojh halka karta, mazboot karta, chutkaara dilaata, surakshit rakhta, changa karta, aur iske alawa “apan logon ko raahat[ein] deta,” jab woh seedhe aur patle raaste pe ladkhadaaenge.¹¹

Pashchataap Parmeshwar ka hamesha-uplabdh uphaar hai jisse hum long sakta asafalta se asafalta tak jaaye bina josh khoe. Pashchataap Unka backup yojna nahi ki jab shaayad hum asafal ho. Pashchataap Unka yojna hai, yeh jaanke ki hum galti karenge. Yeh pashchataap ka susamachaar hai, aur jaise Pradhaan Russell M. Nelson ne dekha hai, yeh “seekh jiwan bhar rahega.”¹²

I jiwan ke seekh me, sekrament Prabhu ka chuna hua tarika hai hum long ke lagataar Unki chama maange ke maoka dewe ke kostin. Agar hum use sokhaart hriday aur dukhit aatma se khaenge, Woh hamein har hafte chama karega vachanbadh maarg pe asafalta se asafalta tak pragati karke. Kyunki “unke paapon ko nazarandaaz karke, mere andar sahanubhuti hai unke liye.”¹³

Lekin ketne baar Woh hum long ke chama kari? Uska sabra kitna lamba ho sakta hai? Ek samay pe Peter Uddhaarkarta se puchis, “Prabhu, agar mera bhaai mere khilaaf paap karta rahe, aur mai use chama kar doon? kya saat baar tak?”¹⁴

Saait ke baat, Peter sochis saat ek bada nambar hoi jisse bahut baar maaf kare la bewakufi itna dafa kare ke liye aur upkaar pe paabandi rahe ke chaahi. Uske jawaab me, Uddhaarkarta khud batais Paul ke gino zaroori nahi hai—chama pe koi paabandi mat banao.

“Ishu usse bolis, Mai tujh se kehta hoon, saat baar tak: lekin saat baar ke sattar guna tak.”¹⁵

Waise bhi to, Uddhaarkarta koi 490 zyaada ke paabandi nahi lagata raha. Yeh to asa kehne ke samaan hoga ki sekrament 490 baar le sakte hai, aur fir 491st samay pe, swarg ka ek auditor aaega aur kahega, “Mujhe maaf karna, lekin aapka pashchataap card abhi abhi expire ho chuka hai—ab se aap khud sambhal ke raho.”

Prabhu ne saat baar se sattar guna ki math sikhaai Apne aseem Praeshchit, Apne aprampaar prem, aur Apne bina aprampaar kripa ko samjhaane ke liye. “Haan, aur jitni baar mere log pashchataap karenge mai utni baar mere virudh unke apraadhon ko chama karunga.”¹⁶

Iske matlab i nahin ki sekrament paap kare ke maoka dewe hai. Yahi kaaran se i Prabhu shabd ke Moroni ke pustak me i baat likhis raha: “Par jaise jaise woh sachche iraade se pashchataap kari aur chama paayi, unhe chama kar diya jaata.”¹⁷

Sachcha iraada ke matlab howe sachchi koshish se aur sachche badlaao se. “Badlaao” Gaaid to the Skripchas me mukhye shabd hai jisse pashchataap ke samjhawa jaae hai: “Mann aur hriday ka badlaao jo Parmeshwar, khud se, aur jiwan se ek naye tarike se dekhta hai.”¹⁸ Is tarah ke badlaao se milti hai aatmik badhanti. Hum long ke safalta, tab, asafalta se asafalta tak jaaawe ke nahin bole, par asafalta se asafalta tak badhna bina josh khoye.

Badlaao,ko leke is saral nazariya par sochiye: “Jo cheez badalte nahin waise hi reh jaate hai.” I ek sachchaai jaan le se tum jaada to nahi seekh lega lekin Pradhaan Boyd K. Packer ke badhiya gyaan hai, jon bolis raha, “Aur jab badlaao hoi jaawe hai—hum long aur aage nahi badhta phir.¹⁹

Kyunki hum long nahi mangta aage badhe se ruk jaawe jab tak hum long apan Uddhaarkarta ke rakam nahin banta,²⁰ hum long ke chaahi jab jab girta tab tab uthete karo, aage badhne aur pragati karne ki ek ichcha ke saath chaahe jo bhi hamara kamzori ho. Hum long ke kamzori me, Wohi hum long ke ashuwaasan dewe hai, “Mera kripa tumaar kostin paryaapt hai: to mera durbalta mazboot kiya jaaega.”²¹

Hum apna sharirik badhanti sirf jiwan-bhar ke tasveeron ko ek saath rakh kar ya badhanti ke chart dekh kar jaan sakte hai. Wahi rakam, hum long ke aatmik badhanti ko sirf ek pal me yaad karne se nahin samjha jaa sakta hai. Yeh budhimaani ke baat hoi ki hum long apan aap mein jhaank le sab taaim taaki apan pragati pehchaan sake aur apne aap ke prerit kare sake “Masih me lagataar biswaas karte huwe, aasha ke pure chamak ke saath aage badhte chalo.”²²

Hum Swarg ke Maata-pita aur Uddhaarkarta ke chahat bhara daya, dhaerye, aur lambe-sahen shakti ke liye anant rup se abhaari hai, jinse hum long ke etna dher dusra maoka mile Unke upasthiti me waapas jaawe ke liye. Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
