Vishwaas ke Sidee

Jiwan ki chunautiyaan Ishu Masih mein hamaare vishwaas ko kaise prabhaavit karengi? Aur is jiwan mein hum jo anand aur shaanti ka anubhav karte hain us par hamare vishwaas ka kya prabhaav padega?

Woh saal 1977 tha. Phone ki ghanti bajee, aur sandesh ne hamare dilon ko cheer diya. Graduate school khatam karne ke baad Carolyn and Doug Tebbs apne naye ghar mein jaane ke liye prakriya kar rahe the. Elders quorum madad kare aais van ko load karne mein. Doug, dekhte rahete the ki piche jaane se pahale raasta saaf tha, ek aankhri nazar daali. Wah dekh nahi paaya ki uski chotti betti, Jennie, truck ke piche kone mein galat samay par thi. Pal bhar mein, unki pyaari Jennie chali gai.

Aage kya hoga? Kya dard unhonne itni gaharaee se mehsoos kiya aur nuksaan kee bhaavna Carolyn aur Daug ke beech ek khaee paida karegi, ya kya yah woh kisi tarah unke dilon ko ek saath baandhegi aur Swarg Pita ki yojna mein unke vishwaas ko majboot karegi?

Unke kashton ka maarg lamba aur dardnaak raha hai, lekin kahin se aaya woh aadhyaatmik dillaasa ki aasha khona nahi hai balki “[unke] maarg par bane rahane ke liye aae hain.”¹ Kissi tarah yah avishvasaneey joda aur bhi adhik Masih jaisa ban gaya. Zyada pratibanddh. Zyada dayalu. Unka maanna tha ki, Unke samay mein, Parmeshwar unke kashton ko unke laabh ke liye samarpit karenge.²

Haalaanki dard aur nuksaan puri tarah se nahin chhod sakta tha, Carolyn aur Doug ko is aashvaasan se dilaasa mila hai ki niyamon ke raaste par jab woh drdhata se rahenge, unki pyaari Jennie hamesha ke liye unki hogee.³

Unke udhaaharan ne Prabhu ki yojna mein mere vishwaas ko majboot bana di. Hum sabhi cheez dekh nahi paate hai. Woh sakta hai. Prabhu ne Joseph ko Liberty Jail mein bataya “ye sab baaten tujhe anubhav dengi, aur tere bhale ke liye hongi. Manushye ka Putra un sab se neeche utra hai. Kya tu usse bada hai?”⁴

Jab hum Prabhu ki ichchha ko sweekaar karte hain, to vah humen sikhaata hai ki Uske saath kaise chalna hai.⁵ Tahiti mein seva kar rahe ek jawaan missionary ke roop mein, mujhe ek beemaar bachche ko dekhne ke liye kaha gaya. Hamne unke sir par haath rakha aur unhen theek hone ka aasheervaad diya. Uksi tabyat mein sudhaar hone laga, par phir wah bimaar ho gaya. Doosri baar hamne prathna kiya par wahi parinaam aaya. Teesri prarthna maang hui. Hamne Prabhu se prarthna ki ki uski ichcha puri ho jae. Thodi der mein, yah choti aatma apne swargeey ghar ko laut gaya.

Lekin hamein shaanti mili. Hum is bachche ke liye jeevandaan chahate the, lekin Prabhu ki koi aur yojna thi. Hamaari apni ichchha ke sthaan par uski ichchha ko sweekaar karna khushi paane ki chaabi hai, chaahe hamaari paristhitiyaan kaisi bhi hon.

Jab ham Ishu Masih ke baare mein sikhnaa shuru karte hain to hamaare paas jo saral vishwaas hota hai vah hamaare dilon mein bana rahata hai jab ham jeevan ki chunautiyon ka saamna karte hain. Us par hamaara vishwaas jeevan ki asaraltaa ke maadhyam se hamaara maargadarshan kar sakta hai aur karega. Vaastav mein, ham paenge ki jeevan ki asaraltaa ke doosri taraph saralta hai⁶ jab ham “Masih mein [drdh] rahate hain, aasha ki puri chamak rakhte hain.”⁷

Jiwan ke uddeshy ka ek hissa in sambhaavit thokaron ko safalta ki sidee banne dena hai kyonki ham us par chadhte hain jise main “vishwaas ke sidee” kahata hoon—kyunki ek sidee sujhaao deta hai ki vishwaas ka tehraao nahi hota. Yah upar ya niche ja sakta hai hammare dwara chunne gae raste se.

Jaise hum Rakshak mein vishwaas ka nirmaan karne ka prayaas karte hain, to hum apne liye Parmeshwar ke prem ko puri tarah se nahin samajh sakte hain, aur daayitv ki bhaavna se shaayad hum Uske kaanoono ka paalan karenge. Prem ke vajay apraadh hamare primary utsah ban jaata hai. Uske saath ek vaastavik sambandh abhi tak anubhav nahin kiya gaya hai.

Jaise jaise hum apne vishwas ko badate hai, hum samajh nahi payenge ki James ne sikhaya tha. Usne humme yaad dilaaya ki “kaam ke bina vishwas mar chuka hai.”⁸ Hum thokar kha sakte hai agar hamme lagta hai ki sab kuch ham par nirbhar karta hai. Hum long janta hai ki konchi se hum long aur asaani se swarg ke shaktiyon ke paawe sakta hai.

Lekin jaise jaise ham Ishu Masih mein sachche vishwaas ki or badhate hain, hamaari maansikta badalne lagti hai. Ham maante hain ki Rakshak mein aagyaakaarita aur vishwaas hamen uski aatma ko hamesha hamaare saath rahane ke yogy banaata hai.⁹ Aagyakaarita ab ek taklif dene vastu (irritant) nahin hai balki ek khoj ban jaati hai.¹⁰ Hum maante hai ki Parmeshwar ke agyaaon ka paalan karna hamein us par bharosa karne ki shamta deti hai. Unke bharosa ke saath badthi hui roshni aati hai. Yah prakaash se hamaari yaatra ka maargadarshan karta hai aur hamen us maarg ko aur adhik spasht roop se dekhne ki anumati deta hai jise hamen lena chahiye.

Lekin kuch aur bhi hai. Jaise-Jaise Rakshak mein hamaara vishvaas badhta hai, ham ek sookshm badlaav dekhte hain jismen Parmeshwar ke saath hamaare sambandhon ki divy samajh shaamil hai—“mujhe kya chaahiye?” se door ek sthir gati. “Parmeshwar kya chahata hai?” Rakshak ke tarah, hum karna chahate hai “jaisa mein chahata hu waisa nahi, balki jaisa aap chahate hai.”¹¹ Hum Parmeshwar ke kaam karna chahate hai aur unke Unke kaarye kare.¹²

Hamaari pragati shaashvat ke liye hai. President Russell M. Nelson ne sikhaya hai ki aur bhi bahut kuch hai jo Swarg Pita chahate hai ki hum jaane.¹³ Hum jaise pragati karte hain, hum bahetar jaante hai Prabhu ne Joseph ko kya sikhaya hai: “Kyonki agar tum meri aagyaon ka paalan karoge, to uski paripoornata paoge, aur waise hi mujh mein mahima paoge; … main tumse kahata hoon, tum anugrah ke liye anugrah praapt karoge.”¹⁴

Ham vishwaas ki sidee par kitna unche chadhate hain yah hamaara nirnay hai. Elder Neil L, Andersen ne sikhaya hai ki “vishwaas ittefaak se nahi hota hai, par chunaao se.”¹⁵ Hum chun sakte hai jab zaroorat pade Rakshak mein apni vishwaas ko badane ke liye.

Jab Laman aur Lemuel vishwaas ki sidee se neeche utre, jabki Nephi oopar chadhe, tab kiye gae chunaawon ke prabhaav par vichaar karen. Kya Nephi ki pratikriya ke beech antar ki tulna mein ek spasht pratinidhitv hai “main jaoonga aur karoonga”¹⁶ verses Laman aur Lemuel, ek swargadoot ko dekhkar,“Yah kaise sambhav hai ki Prabhu uddhaar karega?”¹⁷

Avishwaas chamatkaar dekhne ki hamaari kshamata ko avruddh karta hai, jabki Rakshak mein vishwaas ki maansikata swarg ki shaktiyon ko khol deti hai.

Yahaan tak ki jab hamaara vishwaas kamzor hota hai, tab bhi Prabhu ka haath hamesha badhaaya jaatha hai.¹⁸ Saaloh pahile mujhe Nigeria stake mein ek hissedaari ko punargathit karne ka kaary mila. Antim waqt tak, date mein badlao aaya. Stake mein ek aadmi tha jisne pahali sammelan ki taareekh ke liye shahar chhodne ka faisla kiya tha. Vah stake president kahalaane ka jokhim nahin uthaana chaahate the.

Jab vah udhar hi tha, tab ek bhayanak gurghatna ghati, par use chot nahi aai thi. Isse usne vichaar kiya ki uske jiwan ko kyo baksh mila. Unhonne dubara gaur kiya apne liye gae nirnay par. Unhonne pashchataap ki aur namrata se naye sammelan mein bhaag liya. Aur haan, unhen naya stake president banne ke liye bulaaya gaya tha.

Elder Neal A. Maxwell ne sikhaya: “Keval hamari ichchaaon ko Parmeshwar ki ichchha ke saath jodkar hee poorn sukh paaya ja sakta hai. Kuch bhi kam parinaam kam hisse mein hota hai.”¹⁹

“Sab kuch jo hamaare vash mein hai” karne ke baad, yah samay hai “sthir khade rahane ke liye … Parmeshwar ke uddhaar ko dekhne ke liye.”²⁰ McCormick parivaar ke ministering bhai ke roop mein seva karte samay maine ise dekha. 21 saal ke shaadi mein, Mary Kay ne emaandaari ke apni calling ko nibhai. Ken Girjaghar ka sadasy nahin tha aur use ek banne mein koi dilchaspi nahin thee, lekin apni patni se pyaar karte hue, usne uske saath Girjaghar jaane ka phaisla kiya.

Ek Ravivaar ko main Ken ke saath apni gavaahi baatne ke liye prabhaavit hua. Mainne unse pucha ki kya main kar sakta hu. Uske sawaal saral aur spasht tha: “Nahi, dhanyewaad.”

Mein hairaan hua. Maine ek sanket mahasoos kiya tha aur uska paalan karne ki koshish ki thi. Yah tay karna paana mushkil tha ki mainne apna kaam kar diya hai. Lekin praarthna aur chintan ke baad, main dekh sakta tha ki haalaanki mere iraade sahi the, maine khud par bahut adhik aur Prabhu par bahut kam bharosa kiya tha.

Baad mein main laut gaya lekin ek alag maansikta ke saath. Main keval Prabhu ke haathon mein ek instrument ke roop mein apni Aatma ka anusaran karne ke alaava, aur koee ichchha nahin rakhoonga. Mere wafadaar saathi saath mein, Gerald Cardon, ham McCormick ke ghar mein bheetar gae.

Thode hi der baad, maine mehsoos kiya ki mein Gerald ko gaane ke liye kahoo “I Know That My Redeemer Lives.”²¹ Wah mujhe prashn waale nazar se dekha, lekin mere vishwaas par vishwaas karke usne aisa kiya. Ek khoobsurat aatma kamra ke bhar dees. Mujhe mehsoos hua ki Mary Kay aur Kristin, unki beti ko, apni gawahi baatne ke liye bulaya jaye. Jab unhonne aisa kiya, tab Aatma majboot hoti gai. Darasal, Kristin ki gawahi ke baad Ken ke gaalon se aasoo bah rahe the.²²

Parmeshwar hamme samaa gae. Dilon ko na sirf chhua gaya balki hamesha ke liye badal diya gaya. Pavitr aatma ki shakti se ikkees saal ka avishwaas dhul gaya. Ek hafthe baad, Ken ko baptisma mila. Ek saal baad, Ken aur Mary Prabhu ke ghar mein sada ke liye aur yug yug ke liye bandh (sealed) jayege.

Saath mein hamne anubhav kiya tha ki hamaari ichchha ko Prabhu ki ichchha se badalne ka kya matlab hai, aur Us par hamaara vishwaas badh gaya.

Jab aap apne vishwaas ki sidee par chadhane ka prayaas karte hain, to kripya Parmeshwar ke prophets dwaara poochhe gaye kuch prashnon par vichaar karen:

Kya mera abhimaan cheen liya gaya hai?²³

Kya main apne dil main Parmeshwar ke shabd ke liye jagah deta hu?²⁴

Kya main apne kashton ko apne laabh ke liye pavitr karne ki anumati deta hoon?²⁵

Kya main apni ichchha ko Pita ki ichchha mein nigalne ke liye taiyaar hoon?²⁶

Agar maine mukti denewaale pyaar ka geet gaane ka anubhav kiya hai, to kya main ab aisa mahasoos kar sakta hoon?²⁷

Kya main apne jeevan mein Parmeshwar ko prabal(prevail) hone deta hoon?²⁸

Yadi aap paate hain aapka vartamaan maarg Uddhaarkarta mein aapke vishwaas ke virodh mein hai, to kripya Uske paas waapas jaane ka raasta khojen. Aapka aur aapke vansh ka utthaan(posterity) is par nirbhar karta hai.

Hum apne dilon mein vishwaas ke beej boen. Ho sakta hai ki ham in beejon ka poshan karen jaise ham apne aap ko Rakshak se baandhate hain un vachaon ka sammaan karte hue jo hamne Uske saath ki hain. Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
