Parmeshwar ke Ichcha Anusaar Badalna
Hamare vyaktigat anusaar badalna mein Ishu Masih ke susamaachaar ko duniya ke saath saajha karne ki jimmedaari shaamil hai.
Mai President Russell M. Nelson ke mishanari sewa ke liye shaktishaali bhavishyasuchak aahvaan aur President M. Russell Ballard aur Elder Marcos A. Aidukaitis ke prerak mishanari sandesh ke liye aabhaari hoon.
Pichle saal ke ant mein Great Britain ko ek mishanari asainament ne mujhe un anamol aadhyaatmik ghatanaon par chintan karne ki anumati di jo ek mishanari ke roop mein sewa karne ke mere nirnay ke liye aadhaarabhoot thee.1 Jab mai 15 saal ka tha, mere pyaare bade bhai, Joe, 20—saal ke the, jo ek mishan ki sewa ke liye yogyata ki umr thee. United States mein, Korean sangharsh ke kaaran se, bahut kam logon ko sewa karne ki anumati di gai thee. Prati ward mein se prati varsh se kewal ek ko hee bulaya ja sakta tha.2 Yah ek aashcharye ki baat thee jab hamare bishap ne Joe se hamare pita ke saath is sambhaavana ka pata lagaane ke liye kaha. Joe medikal skool ke liye aplikaishans taeyaar kar raha tha. Hamare pita, jo Girjaghar mein ektiv nahin the, ne unki madad ke liye aarthik taeyaari ki thee aur Joe ke ek mishan par jaane ke paksh mein nahin the. Pitaji ne sujhaav diya ki Joe medikal skool mein jaakar aur achcha kar sakta hai. Yah hamare parivaar mein ek bahut bada vishay tha.
Apne buddhimaan aur anukaraneey bade bhaai ke saath ek ullekhaneey charcha mein, hamane nishkarsh nikaala ki ek mishan ki sewa karne aur apani shiksha mein deree karne ka unka nirnay teen prashnon par nirbhar karta hai: (1) Kya Ishu Masih ishvareey hai? (2) Kya Mormon Dharamshaastra Parmeshwar ka vachan hai? aur (3) Kya Joseph Smith Punahsthaapna ki Profat hain? Agar in sawaalon ka jawaab haa tha, to yah spasht tha ki Joe pahale ki taarikh mein doktar banane ki tulna mein Ishu Masih ke susamaachaar ko duniya mein le jaane se zyaada achcha kar sakta tha.3
Us raat mainne utsao se aur sachche man se praarthana ki. Aatma ne, inkar roop se shaktishaali tarike se, mujhe pushti kee ki in teenon prashnon ke uttar sachch the. Yeh ek vineetha samay tha mereliye. Mainne mehsoos kiya ki mai jiwan bhar jo bhi nirnay lunga, wah in sachchaiyon se prabhaavit hoga. Mujhe yah bhi pata tha ki agar mauka mila to main ek mishan ki sewa karunga. Jiwan bhar ki sewa aur aadhyaatmik anubhavon ke dauraan, mujhe samajh mein aa gaya hai ki sachcha parivartan Parmeshwar ki ichcha ki sachet swikrti ka parinaam hai, aur hamen Pavitr Aatma dwara hamare kaaryon mein nirdeshit kiya ja sakta hai.
Mere paas pahale se hee duniya ke Rakshak ke roop mein Ishu Masih ki divyata ki gawahi thee. Us raat mujhe Mormon Dharamshaastra4 aur Profat Joseph Smith ki aatmik gawahi mili.
Joseph Smith Prabhu ke Haathon mein ek yantra tha.
Aapki gawahi tab aur mazboot hogee jab aap apane dil mein apni prarthanaon ke maadhyam se jaanenge ki Profat Joseph Smith Prabhu ke haathon mein ek yantra tha. Pichle aath varshon ke dauraan Twelve Apostles mein mera ek kaarye Joseph Smith ke sabhi ullekhaneey patron aur dastaavejon ki sameeksha karna aur padhna tha aur shodh ke kaaran Santon ka prakaashan hua.5 Profat Joseph Smith ki meri gawahi aur prashansa ki unke jiwan aur poorvanirdhaarit bhavishyavaani mantraalay ke prerak vivaranon ko padhane ke baad bahut mazboot aur badhi hai.
Joseph Smith ne Parmeshwar ke tohfe aur shakti dwara Mormon Dharamshaastra ka anuwaad kiya Restoration ki neev thee.6 Mormon Dharamshaastra aantarik roop se susangat hai, khubsoorati se likhi gai hai, aur ismen jiwan ke mahan prashnon ke uttar hain. Yah Ishu Masih ka ek aur gawahi hai. Mai gawahi deta hoon ki Joseph Smith dharmi the, vishwaas se bhare hue the, aur Mormon Dharamshaastra ko saamne laane mein Prabhu ke haathon mein ek yantr the.
Doctrine and Covenants mein darj revelaishan aur ghatanaen moksh aur utthaan ke liye aavashyak kunjee, adhyaadesh aur vachaen pradaan karti hain. Unhonne na kewal Girjaghar ki sthaapna ke liye aavashyak cheezon ko nirdhaarit kiya balki gahan siddhaant bhi pradaan kiya jo hamen jiwan ke uddeshye ko samajhane ki anumati deta hai aur hamen ek shaashvat pariprekshy pradaan karta hai.
Joseph Smith ki bhavishyevani ki bhoomika mein kai udharanon mein se ek 76th section of the Doctrine and Covenantsmein paaya jaata hai. Yeh swarg ke darshan ka ek spasht rikord hai, jismen mahima ke raajye shaamil hain, jise Profat Joseph aur Sidney Rigdon ko 16 February, 1832 ko praapt karne ka aashirvaad mila tha. Us samay, adhikaansh Girjaghar yah shiksha de rahe the ki Rakshak ka Praeshchit adhikaansh logon ke liye uddhaar pradaan nahin karega. Yeh maana jaata tha ki kuch ko bachaya jaega, aur vishaal bahumat ko narak aur abhishaap ke liye barbaad kiya jaega, jismen sabse bhayaanak aur akathaneey teevrata ki antaaheenyaatnaen shaamil hain.”7
76th bhaag mein nihit revelaishan mahima ki digree ki ek shaandaar drshti pradaan karta hai jaha Swarg ke Pita ki bachchoke vishaal bahumat, jo apani purv-nashvar sampatti mein bahadur the, antim nirnay ke baad gaherai se dhanye hain.8 Mahima ki teen digree ki drshti, jinmen se sabse kam “sabhi samajh se pare hai,”9 tatkaali mazboot lekin galat siddhaant ka pratyaksh khandan hai ki bahumat narak aur abhishaap ke liye barbaad ho jaega.
Jab aapko pata chalta hai ki Joseph Smith kewal 26 varsh ka tha, uski seemit shiksha thee, aur shaastreey bhaashaon se bahut kam ya koi sampark nahin tha, jisse Baibal ka anuwaad kiya gaya tha, woh vaastav mein Prabhu ke haathon mein ek yantr tha. 17th verse 76 ke bhaag mein, unhen John ke Susamachaar mein istemaal kiye gae shaap ke bajaay aannyayee shabd ka upyog karne ke liye prerit kiya gaya tha.10
Yeh dilachasp hai ki 45 saal baad ek Anglican girja ke neta aur akaadamik roop se pramaanit shaastriye vidvaan,11 Frederic W. Farrar, jinhonne The Life of Christ12 likhne mein varshon bitae the, ne jor dekar kaha ki Baibal ke King James Sanskaran mein dikhaar ki paribhaasha thee Hebrew aur Greek se Angrezi mein anuwaad trutiyon ka parinaam.13
Hamare samay mein, bahut ne yah dhaarana apanai hai ki paap ka koi parinaam nahin hona chahiye. Weh pashchaataap ke bina paap ki bina shart chama ka samarthan karte hain. Hamara prakat siddhaant na kewal is vichaar ka khandan karta hai ki kai logon ko hamesha ke liye narak aur abhishaap ki ninda ki jaegi, balki yah bhi sthaapit karta hai ki vyaktigat pashchaataap Rakshak ke Praeshchit ka hissa banane aur celestial raajye ko viraasat mein lene ke liye ek anivaary shart hai.14 Mai gawahi deta hoon ki Joseph Smith sach mein Prabhu ke haathon mein ek yantr the Apni susamaachaar ki Punahsthaapna ko aage laana.
Ishu Masih ke susamaachaar kei Punahsthaapna ke karan, ham pashchaataap aur “dhaarmikata ke kaaryon” donon ke mahatv ko samajhte hain.”15 Ham Rakshak ke Praeshchit aur Uske bachaane vaale niyamon aur vachaon ke atyadhik mahatv ko samajhte hain, jismen mandir mein kiye gae anubandh bhi shaamil hain.
“Dhaarmikata ke kaaryon” parivartan se utpann hote hain aur parivartan ke phal hain. Sachcha anusar badalna Parmeshwar ki ichcha ka palan karne ke liye sachet sveekrti aur pratibaddhata se hota hai.16 Dharm parivartan se bahane vaale parinaamon aur aashirvaadon ka bhoj sachchi aur sthaayi shaanti hai aur param sukh ka vyaktigat aashvaasana17is jiwan ke tuphaanon ke baauvjood.
Rakshak mein parivartan ek praakrtik manushye ko ek pavitr, naya janm, shuddh vyakti-Masih Ishu mein ek naya praanee mein badal deta hai.18
Bahut Log ko Sachchai se Dur Rakha jaata hai Kyonki Weh Nahin Jaante ki ise Kaha Khojna hai.
Weh kaun se daayitv hain jo anusaar badalna se pravaahit hote hain? Liberty Jail mein Profat Joseph ne ullekh kiya ki bahut log “unhen kewal sach se dur rakha jaata hai kyonki weh nahin jaante ki ise kaha khojna hai.”19
Doctrine and Covenants ke liye Prabhu ki prastaavana mein, hamare liye Prabhu ke uddeshy ki ek badee tasveer waali ghoshna ko nirdhaarit kiya gaya tha. Usne ghoshna ki, “Isliye, Mai Prabhu, yah jaankar ki prithvi ke nivaasiyon par vipatti anewali hai, apne daas Joseph Smith, Jun., ko bulaaya, aur swarg se us se baaten ki, aur aagyaen di.” Usne aage kaha, “Mere susamachaar ki purnata ki ghoshna kamzor aur saadhaaran dwara ho duniya bhar mein.”20 Ismen pure-samay ke mishanari bhi shaamil hain. Ismen ham mein se pratyek shaamil hai. Yeh un sabhi ke liye lejar jaisa phokas hona chahiye, jinhen Parmeshwar ke ichchha anusaar badalna mein parivartan ka aashirvaad mila hai. Rakshak dayaluta se hamen Uski awaaz aur Uske haath banane ke liye aamantrit karta hai.21 Rakshak ka prem hamara maargadarshak prakaash hoga. Rakshak ne Apane shishyon ko sikhaya, “Isliye tum jaao, aur sab jaatiyon ko shiksha do.”22 Aur Joseph Smith par, Usne ghoshna ki, “Mere susamaachaar ka prachaar har us praani ko karo, jisne ise praapt nahin kiya hai.”23
3 April, 1836 ko Kirtland Mandir ke samarpan ke ek saptaah baad, jo Easter Raviwaar aur Passover bhi tha, Prabhu Joseph aur Oliver Cowdery ko ek shaanadaar darshan mein dikhai diye. Prabhu ne mandir ko swikaar kiya aur ghoshna ki, “Aur yeh us ashirvaad ka shuruaat hai jo hamara logon pe barsaaya jaai.”24
Ih drishye ke khatam hoe ke baad, Moses uh log ke saamne aais, “aur uh log Israel ke duniya ke chaaro kona se ikattha hoe la chaabi dees, aur ten tribes ke uttar ke deshon se chuda le aaya jaaega.”25
President Russell M. Nelson, hamare aaj ki priye profat jinke paas yahi chaabi hai, ne aaj subah sikhaya: “Tum jawaan purush ko is samay ke liye aarakshit kiya gaya hai jab Israel ki pratigyaat sabha ho rahi hai. Jab aap mission pe jaaega, aap ek bahut zaroori kartavye pura karega ih bemisaal ghatna me!”26
Ham jo hain uska hissa banane ke liye susamaachaar ko saajha karne ke Rakshak ke aadesh ke liye, hamen Parmeshwar ki ichchha mein anusaar badalna hone ki aavashyakta hai; hamen apne padosiyon se prem karne, Ishu Masih ke punaasthaapit susamaachaar ko saajha karne aur sabhi ko aane aur dekhne ke liye amantrit karne ki aavashyakta hai. Girjaghar ke sadasyon ke roop mein, ham 1842 mein Chicago Democrat, ke sampaadak John Wentworth ko Profat Joseph ke jawaab ko sanjote hain. Woh Girjaghar ke baare mein jaankaari maang raha tha. Joseph ne terah Articles of Faith lekhon ki prastaavana ke roop mein “Standard of Truth” maanak” ka upyog karke apni pratikriya samaapt ki. Sthar sankshep, mein bataata hai ki, kya pura kiya jaana chahiye:
“Koi bhi pavitr haath kaam ko aage badhane se nahin rok sakta; utpeedan bhadak sakta hai, bheed mil sakti hai, senaen ikattha ho sakti hain, badnaami badnaam ho sakti hai, lekin Parmeshwar ka sach saahasapurvak, mahan aur swatantr roop se aage badhega, jab tak ki yah har mahadweep mein pravesh nahin kar leta, har jalavaayu ka daura kiya, har desh mein bah gaya, aur har kaan mein lag raha thajab tak ki Parmeshwar ka uddeshye pura na ho jae, aur mahan Jehovah kahega ki kaam ho gaya hai.”27
Yah Antim-dinon ke Santon, visheshkar mishanariyon ki peedhiyon ke liye spasht aahvaan raha hai. “Standard of Truth” ki bhaavna mein, ham aabhaari hain ki ek vishvavyaapi pendemik ke beech wafaadaar mishanariyon ne susamaachaar ko saajha kiya hai. Mishanariyon, hum log aapse pyaar karta hai! Prabhu ham mein se pratyek ko vachan aur kaarye mein apane susamaachaar ko saajha karne ke liye kahate hain. Hamare vyaktigat anusaar badalna mein Ishu Masih ke susamaachaar ko duniya ke saath saajha karne ki zimmedaari shaamil hai.
Susamaachaar ko saajha karne ki aasheeshon mein Parmeshwar ke ichcha anusaar badalna mein hamare parivartan ko badhaana aur Parmeshwar ko hamare jiwan mein prabal hone dena shaamil hai.28 Ham dusron ko hrday ke “shaktishaalee parivartan” ka anubhav karne ka aashirvaad dete hain.29 Aatmaon ko Masih ke paas laane mein madad karne mein vaastav mein shaashvat aanand hai.30 Apna aur dusron ka dharm anusaar badalne karne ke liye parishram karna nek kaarye hai.31 Mai yeh gawahi deta hoon Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
