Unke Naam se Asheervaad

Mere pyaare bhaaiyon, Parmeshwar ki pristhud mein sewakon hai, aaj raat aapse baat karna mere liye samman ki baat hai. Aap mera gehra samman aur abhaar rakhte hain. Jab main aap ki saath baat karte hai aur apki mahan vishwaas ke baare mein suna hai, yeh mera vishwaas hai ki waha kabhi duniya mein pristhud shakti badh rahi hai, kabhi majboot koram aur kabhi adhik wafadar pristhud hoilda ke saath.

Apne kuch pal meh aaj raat tumhare saath, main tum logon se baat karunga jo aur bhi prabhaavi hona chahate hai apni vyaktigat pristhud sewa mein. Aap us aagya ke baare mein jaante hain jisse aap sewa karne ke liye apne kol badhaana chahate hain.¹ Lekin aapko ashcharya ho sakta hai ki us kol ka aapke liye kya matlab ho sakta hai.

Main adhuneek deacons ke saath shuru karunga kyunki weh sabse anishchit mehsoos karne ki sambhavna hai ki apni pristhui sewa ka matalab kya hai. Naye thaharaaya badon ko bhi sunana chahate ho sakta hai Aur sewa ki apne pahele saptah mein ek bishop ki bhi dilachaspi ho sakti hai.

Ye mere liye shikshsk hai ek deacon ke roop mein apne dinon par wapas dekho. Meri ichcha hai ki kisi ne mujhe bataya hota jo main abh sujhav dunga. Yeh un sabhi pristhud kaaryon mein madad kar sakta tha jo tab se mere paas aye hain-—yahaan tak ki aaj ke samay mein mujhe jo bhi prapt hote hain.

Main ek shakha itna chota mein ek deacon mein odain hua tha ki main kewal deacon aur mere bhaai Ted hee shikshak tha. Shaka mein kewal hum log parivaar the. Poori shakha hamare ghar mein mile. Mere bhaai aur mere liye pristhud neta ek naya parivartit tha jisne abhi khud purohiti prapt kiya tha. Mera manna tha ki mera ek hi pristhud kartavya ki apneee bhojan ka kamre mein sekrament paas karna tha.

Jab mera parivaar Utah chala gaya, main apne aap ko kai deacons ke saath ek bade ward mein dekha. Waha meri paheli sekrament baithak mein, mainne deacons ko dekha ki shuddhata se chal raha jaise hi unhonne ek prashikshit team ki tarah sekrament paas kiya tha.

Agle Raviwaar main ward ki bilding jaldi chala gaya apne aap se ho jab koi bhi mujhe nahi dekh sakta hai. Mujhe yaad hai ki yeh Salt Lake Shahar mein Yalecrest Ward tha, or iske aadhaar par ek pratima thi Main madad ke liye utsaah se prathana kiya yeh jaanane ke liye ki kaise ek galti nahin karna hoga jab main sekrament ko paas karne mein apani jagah le liya. Us parthana ki jawab diya gaya.

Lekin main ab jaan gaya hu ki waha ek behtar tarika prathana aur sochne ke liye hai jab hum pristhud sewa mein badhne ki koshish karte. Yeh meri samajh aaya hai ki vyaktiyon ko pristhud kyon diya jaata hai. Hamare pristhud prapt karne ka karan hamen Prabhu ke liye logon ko asheervad dene ke liye hai, Uske naam par aisa karna.²

Yeh saalon baad jab main ek deacon tha mainne sikha hai asaal mein kya matlab tha. Ek high priest ke roop mein, mujhe ek care centre sekrament ki baithak mein jaane ke liye saupa gaya tha. Mujhe sekrament pass karne ke liye kaha gaya. Prakriya ya shuddhata ke baare mein sochne ke bajae ki kis tarah mainne sekrament paas kiya, badale mein main har bujurg vyakti ke chehron ko dekha. Mainne unmen se kai ko rote hue dekha. Ek mahila ne meri astin pakad lee, upar dekha, aur jor se kaha, “Oh, dhanyevaad, dhanyevaad.”

Prabhu ne meri sewa ka asheervaad diya tha Unke naam par di gai sewa ka. Us din main ek chamatkar ke liye prathana kiya tha yeh prathna karne ke bahay ki main kitni acchi tarah apna hissa kar sakta hu. Mainne prathana kee ki log meri prem sewa kee madhyam se Prabhu ke prem ko mehsoos karen. Mainne sikha hai ki yeh Unke naam par dusron ki sewa aur asheervad dene ki kunji hai.

Mainne hal hi mein ek aisa anubhav suna jo mujhe aise prem kee yaad dilai. Jab sabhi Girjaghar baithakon COVID-19 mahamari ke karan rok diya gaya, ek dekhrekh kare la bhaai apne elders koram pradhaan se ek kaam swikar kiye jaate hai asheervad aur ek bahan vah mantriyon ke liye sekrament prashaasan kare. Jab usne usse sekrament lane kee peshkash karne ke liye bulaya, to usne anichcha se swikar kar liya, use itne khatarnaak samay mein apane hi ghar se bahar le jaane se nafrat ki aur yeh bhi vishwaas kiya ki chizen jaldi se saamaanye ho jaaengi.

Raviwaar subah jab woh uske ghar pahuncha to uske paas ek neevedan tha. Kya weh agale darvaje chal sakta hai aur yeh bhi uske 87-saal padosi ke saath sekrment kare? Bishop kee pradhikar ke saath, usne maanaa.

Kai, kai hafton ke liye, aur bahut hoshiyaar social distancing aur anya suraksha upayon ke saath, Santon kee is chote samooh ek sadharan sekrament sewa ke liye pratyek Raviwaar ikatthe hue. Bas roti kee tukde aur paani ka pyaala—lekin kai ansu ek pyaare Parmeshwar ki bhalai ke liye bahaya.

Kuch samay baad, dekhrekh kare la bhaai, uska pariavar, aur bahan jo woh dekhrekh karta tha, woh girjaghar lautne aaye. Lekin 87-saal ki vidhwaa, ek padosi, ko atirikt saodhaan rehna, ghar rehna pada. Dekhrekh kare la bhaai---ko yaad hai ki uska kaam uske padosi ke liye bhi hai aur khud bhi is buzurg bahan ke liye nahin hai---aaj bhi is din ke liye chupchap har Ravivaar ko uske ghar aata hai, shastron aur haath mein roti ka ek chota sa tukda, Prabhu kee Supper ka sekrament ka prashasan karne ke liye.

Uski pristhud sewa, meri tarah dekhbhal kendra mein us din, pyaar se bahar diya jaata hai. Darasal, dekhrekh kare la bhaai ne hal hee mein apne bishop se pucha ki kya ward mein kuch anya log hain, jiske liye woh dekhbhal kar sakte hain. Uski pristhud sewa ko badhaane ki ichcha badhi hai jaise usne Prabhu ke naam par sewa ki hai aur ek tarah se lagbhag vishesh roop se Unke liye jana jata hai Main nahin janta ki kya dekhrekh kare la bhaai ne prathana kee hai, jaisa ki mainne kiya tha, un logon ke liye jo woh Prabhu ke prem ke baare mein janane ki sewa karte hain, lekin kyunki uski sewa Prabhu ke naam par rahi hai, parinam wahi raha hai.

Ek hi adbhut parinam aata hai jab main iske liye prathana karta hoon isse pahale ki main kisi aise vyakti ko pristhud asheervad de jo bimar hai ya avashyakta ke samay mein hai. Yeh ek baar ek aspatal mein hua jab adhir doctoron ne mujhse agrah kiya- mujhse adhik agrah kiya-mujhe-adesh diya-jaldi karo or raste se bahar nikalna taki weigh apna kaam kar saken, bajay mujhe pristhud asheervad dene ka avsar de sakte hain. Main ruka, aur mainne asheervad diya. Aur woh choti ladki main us din asheervad diya, jo doctoron ne socha tha ki mar jaaega, rahate the. Main iss pal mein abhaari hoon ki us din, main apni bhavnaon ko raste mein nahin milata hai, lekin mehsoos kiya ki Prabhu chahata tha ki choti ladki ko ek asheervad hai. Aur mujhe pata tha ki asheervad kya tha: main use changa hone ka asheervad diya. Aur woh thi.

Ih kai baar hua hai jab main maut ke pas jahira taur par kisi ko ek asheervad diya hai, parivaar kee bistar ke aspas kee sadasyon ke saath, upchar kee ek asheervad ke liye unmeed hai. Yaha tak ki agar mere pass keval ek pal hai, toh main yeh janne ke liye prathana karta hoon ki Prabhu ke pass kya asheervad hai jo main Unke naam par de sakta hoon. Aur main yeh janne ke liye puchta hoon ki Woh us vyakti ko kaise asheervad dena chahata hai aur main ya aas-paas khade log kya chahate hain. Mera anubhav yeh hai ki jab bhi asheervad nahin hai jo dusron ko khud ke liye ya apne priyajan ke liye ichcha hai, Aatma dil ko chuta hai bajay nirasha swikriti aur aram ka anubhav.

Yahi prerna tab milti hai jab patriach upvas karte hain aur margadarshan ke liye prathana karte hain ki ek vyakti ke liye Prabhu ka asheervad chahata hai. Fir, mainne yeh dekhte hue asheervad suna hai ki mujhe ashcharya hua aur asheervad prapt karne vale vyakti ko bhi ashcharyachakit kar diya. Saaf-saaf se, asheervad Prabhu se tha—donon chetaoniyan mein shaamil hai aur saath hi Unke naam par sajha kiye gaye vaade bhi hain. Patriach kee prathana aur upvas ko Prabhu ne puraskrit kiya.

Ek bishop kee roop mein, mainne Prabhu se prarthana kee jab yogyata interview ayojit karte samay sikha kee mujhe yeh samajhne de ki woh vyakti ke liye kya chahata tha, kisi bhi prerna Woh mere apne faisle se chipa hua. Ih mushkil hai agar Prabhu, pyaar mein, sudhar ke saath kisi ko asheervad dena chahate ho sakta hai. Ih antar karne ke liye prayas leta hai ki Prabhu kya chahate hain jo aap aur doosre vyakti chahate hain.

Mujhe vishwaas hai ki hum apne jeewankal mein aur shayad pare hamare pristhud sewa badhaana kar sakte hain. Ih Prabhu kee ichcha aur Unki aavaj sunne ke hamare prayason ko janne ki koshish mein hamari parishram par nirbhar karega taki hum behtar jaan saken ki Woh us vyakti ke liye kya chahata hai jise hum Unke liye sewa kar rahe hain. Us badhaai chote kadam mein ayega. Yeh dhire-dhire a sakta hai, lekin yeh a jaaega. Prabhu humse yeh vaada karta hai:

“Jo log vishwaasi hote hain ih donon pristhud ko paane ke liye jo mainne bola hai, aur apna niyukti ka paalan kartein hain, ko Aatma dwara asheervaad milta hai unke shareer ko changa rakhne ke liye.

“Weh Moses aur Aaron ke bete aur Abraham ke beej, aur girjaghar aur rajya, aur Parmeshwar ka chunav ban jaate hain.

“Aur yeh bhi weh sabhi jo is pristhud praapt kare mujhe praapt karte hain, Prabhu ne kaha.”³

Yeh mera gawaah hai ki pristhud kee chabiyan Profat Joseph Smith ko sthaapit kar di gai thee. Prabhu ke sewak swarg se prakat hue ki jo mahan ghatnayen samne aai hain aur jo hamare samne jhooth bolti hain, unke liye pristhud ko sthaapit karne ke liye. Israel ikattha kiya jaaega. Prabhu ke log Unke gauravashali Dusra Ane ke liye taeyaar ho jaaega. Punahsthaapit age bhi jaari rahega. Prabhu apne profats ke liye Apni ichcha ka adhik prakat karega.

Aap Prabhu kya karenge kee mahatvapurn reveleishan kee tulna mein chote mehsoos kar sakte hain. Agar aap karenge, main aapko amantrit karta hoon ki Prabhu se prathanapurwak se pooche ki aapko kaise dekhta hai. Woh tumhen vyaktigat roop se jaanta hai, Usne tum par pristhud pradan kiya hai, aur tumhari vriddhi hui hai aur pristhud ke mamle ko badha raha hai kyunki Woh tumse prem karta hai aur Woh tum par bharosa karta hai ki aap Unki naam se jo Woh pyaar karta hai logon ko asheervad de.

Main ab tumhen asheervad deta hoon ki aap Unki prem aur Unki vishwaas ko mehsoos kare Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
