Parmeshwar ka Pyaar: Aatmao ko Sabse Zyaada Kushi dene wala

Bhaaiyo aur bahano, kya tum puri tarah se jante ho ki Parmeshwar, hamare Swarg ke Pita, hamein kithna pyaar karte hai. Kya tumne Uske pyaar ko gehrai se aatma tarah se mehsoos kiya hai?

Jab tum puri tarah se jante aur samajhte ho ki swargye maata pita tumhe kithna pyaar karte hai, wah sab badal deta hai. Jab aap galti karte ho tab tum jis tarah se mehsoos karte ho use badal deta hai. Kathinayio ke samay aap kaisa mehsoos karte ho use badal deta hai. Parmeshwar ke aagyao ka dhrishye badal deta hai. Yah dusron ke baare mein aapke drshtikon aur phark karne kee aapkee kshamata ko badal deta hai.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland ne sikhlaya hai: “Anant kaal kee pahali mahaan aagya yah hai ki ham apne pure dil, shakti, mann aur shakti se Parmeshwar se prem kare—yah paheli mahaan aagya hai. Lekin pahela sabse mahaan sach anant kaal ka yah ki Parmeshwar humeinpyaar karta hai dil, Unkipoore hriday, shakti, mann aur taqat se.”¹

Kaise hum apne aatmao ke gaharai se jaan sakte hai ki kya hai anant kaal ka mahaan satye?

Prophet Nephi ko darshan mein Parmeshwar ke pyaar ka sabse shaktishaali pramaan dikhaaya gaya tha. Jiwan ke pedh ko dekhkar, Nephi ne uske vyaakhya jaanane ko kaha. Sawal ke aur par, ek devdut ne Nephi ko ek shahar dikhaya, ek maa, aur ek bachcha. Jaise hee Nephi ne Nazareth shahar aur dharmee maa Mary ko dekha, bachche Ishu ko apni baahon mein pakde hue, swargdut ne ghoshna ki, “Dekho, Parmeshwar ka Memna, haa, Anant Pita ka putra bhee!”²

Us pavitra shan mein, Nephi samajh gaya ki Uddhaarkarta ke janm mein, Parmeshwar apne shuddh aur purn pyaar ko prakat kar raha tha. Parmeshwar ka pyaar, Nephi ne gawahi di,“videsh mein khud ko bahaaya aadmi ke bachcho ke dilon mein,”³

Tasveer

Jiwan ka pedh

Hum Parmeshwar ke prem ko jiwan ke vrksh se nikalne vaale prakaash ke roop mein dekh sakte hain, jo puri prithvi par manushyon ke bachchon ke dilon mein phail raha hai. Parmeshwar ka prakaash aur prem Uski sabhi krtiyon mein vyaapt hai.⁴

Kabhi kabhi hum galtee se sochte hain ki lohe kee chhad ka paalan karne aur phal khaane ke baad hee hum Parmeshwar ke prem ko mehsoos kar sakte hain. Parmeshwar ka pyaar, halaanki, pedh par aane vaalon ko hee nahin balki woh shakti hee hamen us ped kee talaash karne ke liye prerit karti hai.

“Isiliye, yah sabhi cheezon mein sabse adhik vaanchhaneey hai,” Nephi ne sikhaaya, aur swargadut ne kaha, “Haan, aur aatma ke liye sabse adhik aanandadaayak .”⁵

Bees saal pahele, ek pyaara pariwaar Girja se dur ho gaye. Uske paas bahut se sawaal the jiske uttar nahi mila. Meri paatni, jo ek convert thi, apne vishwaas pe tika raha. Unhonne paida hue matabhedon mein apni shaadi ko banae rakhne ke liye kadi mehanat kee.

Pichhale saal unhonne Girja ke baare mein teen prashn likhe jo unke liye mel-milaap karna mushkil tha aur unhen do jodon ke paas bhej diya jo kai saalon se dost the. Unhonne unhen un savaalon par vichaar karne aur apne vichaar saajha karne ke liye raat ke khaane par aane ke liye aamantrit kiya.

Doston ke saath is mulaakaat ke baad vah apne kamare mein gaya aur ek project par kaam karne laga. Shaam kee baatcheet aur uske doston dwara use dikhaaya gaya pyaar uske dimaag mein sabse aage aa gaya. Baad mein unhonne likha ki unhen apna kaam band karne ke liye majboor kiya gaya. Usne kaha: “Ek ujjval prakaash ne meri aatma ko bhar diya. … Main aatmagyaan ki is gaharee bhaavna se parichit tha, lekin is maamle mein yah pahale se kaheen jyaada majboot hoti gaee aur kaee minaton tak chalee. Main us bhaavna ke saath chupchaap baitha raha, jise main apne liye Parmeshwar ke prem kee abhivyakti ke roop mein samajh paaya. … Mujhe ek aadhyaatmik prabhaav mehsoos hua jisne mujhe bataaya ki main girja laut sakta hoon aur jo kuch main waha karta hoon usmen Parmeshwar ke is pyaar ko vyakt kar sakta hoon.

Phir usne apne sawaalo ke baare mein socha. Unhen yah mehsoos hua ki Parmeshwar ne unke sawaalo ka sammaan kiya hai aur spasht uttar na hone se unhen aage badhne se nahin rokna chahiye.⁶ Jab tak vah chintan karta raha use Parmeshwar ke prem ko sabke saath baantna chaahiye. Jaise hi unhonne us dhaarna par kaam kiya, unhonne Joseph Smith ke saath ek rishtedaaree mehsoos kee, jinhonne apni Paheli Drishti ke baad tippanee kee, “Meri aatma pyaar se bhar gaee thee, aur kai dinon tak main bahut khushi se aanandit ho sakta tha.”⁷

Ullekhaneey roop se, kuch hee maheenon baad, ussi parivaar ke sadasye ko wahi calling praapt hui jo unhonne 20 saal pahale kee thee. Paheli baar jab unhonne calling sambhaala, to unhonne Girja ke ek kartavyaparaayan sadasye ke roop mein apni jimmedaariyon ka nirvahan kiya. Ab unke liye yah prashn nahin tha ki “Main is bulaawe ko kaise pura kar sakta hoon?” parantu “Main apni seva ke dwara Parmeshwar ka prem kaise dikha sakta hoon?” Is nae drshtikon ke saath, unhonne apnee bulaahat ke sabhee pahaluon mein aanand, arth aur uddeshy ko mehsoos kiya.

Bahanon aur bhaaiyon, hum Parmeshwar ke prem kee parivartanakaaree shakti ko kaise praapt kar sakte hain? Prophet Mormon hamen aamantrit karte hai “Pita se man kee saaree shakti ke saath prarthana karo, ki tum is prem se bhar jao, jo usne un sabhi ko pradaan kiya hai jo uske putr, Ishu Masih ke sachche anuyaayee hain.”⁸ Mormon na kewal hamen prarthna karne ke liye aamantrit kiya raha balki dusron ke liye Parmeshwar ke pyaar ko mehsoos kar saken apne liye⁹

Jaise-jaise hum Uske prem ko praapt karte hain, hum uske samaan prem karae aur Uskee seva karne ka prayaas karne mein aur adhik aanand paate hain, “uske putr, Ishu Masih ke sachche anuyaayee bante hain.”¹⁰

Parmeshwar ka pyaar hamare jiwan kee paristhitiyonmein nahin, balki hamare jiwan mein uski upasthitimein paaya jaata hai. Hum Uske prem ke baare mein tab jaane hain jab hum apnee shakti se adhik shakti praapt hote hain aur jab Uske Aatma shaanti, aaraam aur disha laati hai. Kai baar Uske pyaar ko mehsoos karna mushkil ho sakta hai. Hum prarthna kar sakte hain ki hamare jiwan mein unka haath dekhne ke liye hamaree aankhe khul jaen aur Unkee rachnaon kee sundarta mein unke prem ko dekhen.

Jab hum Uddhaarkarta ke anant aur anant balidaan par vichaar karte hain, to hum apne liye uske prem ko samajhna shuroo kar sakte hain. Hum aadar ke saath Eliza R. Snow ke shabdon ko gaate hain: “Uska keemtee khoon usne khulkar bahaaya; apna jiwan unhonne svatantr roop se diya.”¹¹ Badee peeda mein unki namrata hamari aatmaon ko bhar deti hai, unke haath se chama maangne ke liye hamare dilon ko kholti hai aur hamen unke jaisa jeene kee ichcha se bhar deti hai.¹²

President Russell M. Nelson ne likha, “Jitna adhik hum apne jiwan ko unke anuroop dhaalne ke liye pratibaddh hote hain, hamara prem utna hee shuddh aur adhik divy hota jaata hai.”¹³

Hamare beta ne sanbhandit ki: “Jab main 11 saal ka tha, mainne aur mere doston ne apane shikshak se chipane aur apni praathmik kaksha ke pahale bhaag ko chodne ka phaisla kiya. Jab hum ant mein pahunche, hamare aascharye se, shikshak ne anukul se hamara swaagat kiya. Iske baad unhonne ek haardik prarthna kee, jiske dauraan unhonne Prabhu ke prati krtagyata vyakt kee ki hamne apni marjee se us din kaksha mein aane ka phaisla kiya tha. Mujhe yaad nahin hai ki paath kis baare mein tha ya hamare shikshak ka naam kya tha, lekin ab, lagbhag 30 saal baad, main abhee bhee us shuddh pyaar se prabhaavit hoon jo unhonne mujhe us din dikhaaya tha.”

Paanch saal pahale mainne Russia ke ek ward mein Praathmik mein jaate samay ishwariye pyaar ka ek udhaaran dekha. Mainne ek vaphaadaar bahan ko do ladkon ke saamne ghutane tekte hue dekha aur unhen gawahi dee ki bhale hee ve prithvee par rahane vaale akele hote, Ishu ne dukh uthaaya hota aur sirph unke liye mar jaata.

Main gawahi deta hoon ki hamare Prabhu aur Uddhaarkarta vaastav mein hum mein se pratyek ke liye mar gae. Yah hamare aur Unke Pita ke liye Unke aseem pyaar kee abhivyakti thee.

“Mai jaanta hoon ki mera Muktidaata jiwit hai. Yah madhur vaaky kya dilaasa deta hai! … Woh [humen] apne pyaar se aasheeshit karne ke liye jiwit hai.”¹⁴

Kya hum apne hrday ko us shuddh prem ko praapt karne ke liye khol sakte hain jo Parmeshwar ke paas hamare liye hai aur phir hum jo kuch bhee karte hain aur hain usmen apna prem bahaate hain. Ishu Masih ke pavitr naam se, amen.
