Mahaan Mahima mein Parmeshwar kee Shakti ke saath

Pahelee Yaatra ke lagabhag teen varsh baad, September 21, 1823 kee raat mein, jawan Joseph Smith apne paapo kee kshama praapt karne aur apnee sthiti jaanane aur Parmeshwar ke saamne khade hone ke liye prarthana kar raha tha.¹ Uske bistar ke paas ek vyakti prakat hua, jiska naam Joseph tha, aur ghoshit kiya ki “vah Parmeshwar kee upasthiti se bheja gaya ek doot tha … aur uska naam Moroni tha.” Usne samajhaaya ki Parmeshwar ke paas [Joseph] ke liye ek kaarye tha” ² aur phir use Mormon Dharamashaastra ke aane ke baare mein pataa chalaa. Mahatvapoorn roop se, Mormon Dharamshaastra Moroni ke sandesh mein sambodhit kiye gae pahale vishayon mein se ek thee.

Mormon Dharamashaastra Ishu Masih ka ek aur gawahi hai aur antim dinon mein parivartan ka mahaan upkaran hai. Susmaachaar ko share karne ka hamara uddeshy sabhee ko Ishu Masih ke paas aane ke liye aamantrit karna hai, ³ punahsthaapit susmaachaar ka aasheervaad praapt karna hai, aur Uddhaarkarta mein vishwaas ke maadhyam se ant tak bane rahana hai.⁴ Logon ko hirday ke shaktishaalee parivartan ka anubhav karne mein madad karna⁵ aur pavitr vaachanon aur adhyaadeshon ke maadhyam se khud ko Prabhu se baandhana, susmaachaar ke prachaar ke mool uddeshy hain.

Moroni ne Joseph Smith ko Mormon Dharamshaastra kee shuruat kee, samay kee paripoornata ke yug mein parde ke is taraf ke vyaktiyon ke liye uddhaar aur utkarsh ke kaary kee shuruaat kee.

Joseph ko apna nirdesh jaaree rakhte hue, Moroni ne King James Version mein istemaal kee jaane vaalee bhaasha mein thodee bhinnata ke saath Old Testament mein Malachi kee kitaab se uddhrt kiya:

“Dekho, mai tumhe Priesthood prakat karunga, Prophet Elijah ke haatho se bhejunga, Prabhu ke aane ke daraaona aur bhayankar din se pehle:

“… Aur vah bachchon ke dil mein pitaon se kee gaee pratigyaon ko lagaega, aur bachchon ke dil apne pita kee or phirenge. Agar aisa nahin hota toh, pura duniya barbaad ho jaaega unke aane par.”⁶

Mandiron ke nirmaan mein hamara uddeshye un pavitr sthaanon ko uplabdh karna hai jahaan maanav parivaar ke uddhaar aur utthaan ke liye aavashyak pavitr vaade aur adhyaadesh jeevit aur mrit donon ke liye prashaasit kiye ja sakte hain. Elijah aur priesthood adhikaar kee mahatvapoorn bhoomika ke baare mein Joseph Smith ko Moroni ke nirdesh ne parde ke is taraf uddhaar aur utthaan ke kaarye ka vistaar kiya aur hamare yug mein parde ke doosre taraf or mritakon ke liye kaarye kee shuruaat kee.

Sankshep mein, Mormon Dharamshaastra aur Elijah ke mishan ke baare mein Septembar 1823 mein Moroni kee shikshaon ne parde ke donon tarafuddhaar aur utkarsh ke kaarye ke liye saiddhaantik aadhaar sthaapit kiya.

Joseph Smith ne Moroni se jo sabak seekha, usne uskee sevakaee ke har ministry ko prabhaavit kiya. Udhaaran ke liye, 6 April, 1837, ko Kirtland Mandir mein aayojit ek pavitra sabha mein, Prophet ne kaha: “Aakhir jo kaha gaya, sabse bada aur sabse mahatvapoorn kartavye Susmaachaar ka prachaar karna hai.”⁷

Lagbhag theek saat saal baad, 7 April, 1844 ko, Joseph Smith ne ek updesh diya jise aaj King Follett Discourse ke roop mein jaana jaata hai. Unhonne us sambodhan mein ghoshna kee,“Is sansaar mein sabse badee zimmedaaree jo Parmeshvar ne ham par rakhee hai, vah hai hamare mritakon kee khoj karna.”⁸

Lekin kaise susmaachaar ka prachaar karna aur hamare mritakon kee khoj karna donon hee ekamaatr sabse bada kartavye aur zimmedaaree hai jisse Parmeshwar ne ham par rakha hai? Mera maanana hai ki Prophet Joseph Smith donon bayaanon mein maulik saty par jor de rahe the ki vaade, jo aadhikaarik priesthood adhyaadeshon ke maadhyam se darj kee gaee hain, hamen Pabhu Ishu Masih se baandh saktee hain aur parde ke donon or mukti aur utthaan ke kaarye ka aavashyak mool hain.

Missionary aur mandir aur paarivaarik itihaas kaarye ek mahaan kaarye ke poorak aur paraspar sambandhit pahaloo hain jo pavitr vaadoh aur adhyaadeshon par dhyaan kendrit karte hain jo hamen apne jiwan mein Ishvareeyata kee shakti praapt karne mein saksham banaate hain aur antatah, Swarg ke Pita kee upasthiti mein vaapas aate hain. Is prakaar, Prophet ke do bayaan jo shuroo mein virodhaabhaasee lag sakte hain, vaastav mein, is mahaan antim din kaarye kendr bindu ko ujaagar karte hain.

Uddhaarkarta ne kaha:

“Hamar juaatha aapan uppar uthaao, aur ham se seekho, kaahe ke ham naram dil ke aur deen hai, aur tumme araam mili.

“Kaahe ki hamaar juaatha(yoke) dhowe me sahaj hai, aur bojha bhi halluk hai.”⁹

Jab ham pavitr vaadoh aur vidhiyon ke baare mein seekhte hain, yogy roop se praapt karte hain, aur unka sammaan karte hain, to ham Uddhaarkarta ka jooa apne oopar le lete hain. Ham surakshit roop se aur Uddhaarkarta ke saath bandhe hain jaisa ki ham eemaandaree se yaad karte hain aur hamare dwara sveekaar kiye gae daayitvon ke anusaar jeene kee pooree koshish karte hain. Aur Uske saath woh bandhan hamare jeevan ke har mausam mein aadhyaatmik shakti ka srot hai.

Main aapko un aasheeshon par vichaar karne ke liye aamantrit karta hoon, jinka vaachan Ishu Masih ke chelon ko vaachan ka paalan karne ke liye kiya gaya tha. Udhaaran ke liye, Nephi ne “Parmeshwar ke Memne kee girjaghar ko dekha [antim dinon mein], aur uskee sankhya bahut kam thee, …Parmeshwar ke sant, poore prithvee par bhee the; aur unke raajye … chote the.”¹⁰

Usne bhi, “Parmeshwar ke Memne ki shakti ko dekha, ki wah Memne ke girja ke santon ke upar aaya, aur Parmeshwar ke vaachano log par , … aur weh dhaarmikata aur mahaan mahima mein Parmeshwar kee shakti ke saath sashastr mein.”¹¹

Is shabdwaalee “dhaarmikata aur mahaan mahima mein Parmeshwar kee shakti ke saath sashastr” keval ek achchha vichaar ya sundar shaastr kee bhaasha ka udharaan nahin hai. Iske bajaay, ye asheervadon Prabhu ke chelon antim-dinon ke shishyon ke jiwan mein spasht roop se dikhaee detee hain.

Barah ke sadasye ke roop mein mere kaarye mujhe puri duniya mein le jaate hain. Aur mujhe aap mein se kaee logon se milne aur yaadgaar sabak seekhne ka saubhaagye mila hai. Main gawahi deta hoon ki aaj Prabhu kee vaachan ke log vaastav mein dhaarmikta aur mahaan mahima mein Parmeshwar kee shakti se lais hain. Mainne vishwaas, saahas, drishtikon, dridhata, aur aanand dekha hai jo nashvar kshamata se bahut aage tak phaila hua hai—aur jo kewal Parmeshwar hee pradaan kar sakta hai.

Mainne Girjaghar ke ek yuva sadasye ke jiwan mein anubandhon aur vishwaaniyeta vaachano ke maadhyam se praapt mahaan mahima mein Parmeshwar kee dhaarmikta aur shakti ko dekha, jo ek bhayaanak otomobail durghatna mein aanshik roop se pangu tha. Theek hone ke mahinon ke bheeshan aur pratibandhit gatisheelta ke saath ek naee jiwan shailee ko apnane ke baad, main is dridh aatma se mila aur baat kee. Hamaree baacheet ke dauraan mainne poocha, “Is anubhav ne aapko kya seekhne mein madad kee hai?” Turant jawaab thee, “Main dukhi nahin hoon. Main paagal nahin hoon. Aur sab theek ho jaega.”

Mainne Girjaghar ke nae baptisma aur pushti sadasyon ke jiwan mein vaachaon ke parti wafadaari aur adhyaadeshon ke maadhyam se praapt mahaan mahima mein Parmeshwar kee dhaarmikta aur shakti ko dekha. Yeh parivartit log seekhne aur sewa karne ke liye utsuk the, ichchuk the, lekin aksar is baare mein anishchit the ki purani aadaton aur majboot paramparaon ko kaise dur kiya jae, aur phir bhi “santon ke saath saathee naagarik, aur Parmeshwar ke gharaane banane ke liye khush the”¹².

Mainne ek aise parivaar ke jiwan mein vaachaon aur adhyaadeshon ke maadhyam se praapt mahaan mahima mein Parmeshwar ki dhaarmikta aur shakti ko dekha, jisne ek lailaaj beemari se peedit jiwansathi aur maata-pita kee komalta se dekhbhaal ki. In bahaadur chelon ne us samay ka varnan kiya jab unka parivaar akela mehsoos karta tha - aur kaee baar weh jaante the ki Prabhu ka haath unhen utha raha hai aur unhen majboot kar raha hai. Is parivaar ne kathin nashvar anubhavon ke liye eemaandaaree se kritagyata vyakt kee jo hamen hamare Swarg ke Pita aur hamare Muktidaata, Ishu Masih kee tarah badhane aur banane kee anumati dete hain. Parmeshwar ne is parivaar ko Pavitr Aatma kee sangati se sahaara diya aur aasheervaad diya aur unke ghar ko mandir ke roop mein ek pavitr sharan sthaan bana diya.

Mainne Girjaghar ke ek sadasye ke jiwan mein anubandhon aur vishwaasniyeta vaachano ke maadhyam se praapt mahaan mahima mein Parmeshwar ki dhaarmikta aur shakti ko dekha, jisne talaak ke dard ka anubhav kiya tha. Is bahan kee aadhyaatmik aur bhaavanaatmak pareshaanee uske pati dwaara vachaano ke ullanghan aur unke vivaah ke tootne se judee anuchitta kee bhaavna se badh gaee thee. Wah nyaaye aur javaabadehee chahatee thee.

Jaise is vaphaadaar mahila apne saath huee sabhee ghatanaon se joojh rahee thee, usne Uddhaarkarta ke Praeshchit ka apne jeevan mein pahele se kaheen adhik gahanata aur gahantaa se adhyayan kiya aur us par vichaar kiya. Dheere-dheere, Masih ke chutakaare ke mishan kee ek gaharee samajh uskee aatma par chha gaee - hamare paapon ke liye Uskee peeda, aur hamare dard, kamajoriyon, niraashaon aur peedaon ke liye bhee. Aur woh khud se ek gahan prashn poochane ke liye prerit huee: Jaise ki un paapon kee keemat pahale hee chukaee ja chukee hai, to kya aap maang karenge ki keemat do baar chukaee jae? Usne mehsoos kiya ki aisee aavashyakta nah to nyaayasangat hogee aur nah hee dayalu.

Is mahila ne seekha ki vaachano aur adhyaadeshon ke maadhyam se khud ko Uddhaarkarta ke saath baandhana kisee anye vyakti ke naitik ejensee ke adharmee abhyaas ke kaaran hue ghaavon ko theek kar sakta hai aur use chaama karne aur shaanti, daya aur prem praapt karne kee chamta khojne mein saksham banata hai.

Vaachan ke vaade aur aasheeshen hamare Uddhaarkarta, Ishu Masih ke kaaran hee sambhav hain. Woh hamen Use dekhne ke liye aamantrit karta,¹³ uske paas aao,¹⁴ Uske baare mein jaanen,¹⁵ aur ¹⁶ Uske punaasthaapit susmaachaar kee vaachano aur vidhiyon ke dwara svayan ko Usse baandh len. Main gawahi deta hoon aur vaada karta hoon ki vaachano ka sammaan karne se hamen dhaarmikta aur mahaan mahima mein Parmeswvar kee shakti miltee hai. Aur apnee gawahi deta hai ki jiwit Prabhu Ishu Masih hamare Uddhaarkarta hai. In sachchaaiyon ki mai gawahi deta hoon Ishu Masih ke pavitra naam se, amen.
