Raakh ke liye Sundarta: Chama se Changaai ka Raasta

1 Samuel ki pustak mein David, Israel ke bhavishye ke raaja aur Abigail naam ki ek mahila ki kam-jaani-maani kahani shaamil hai.

Samuel ki mrtyu ke baad, David aur uske log Raaja Saul ke paas se chale gae, jo David ka praan lena chahate the. Unhonne Nabal naam ke ek dhani vyakti ke bhed-bakariyon aur sewakon ki rakhwali ki, jo ki neech swabhaav ka tha. David ne 10 logon ko Nabal ko salaam karne aur ati aavashyak bhojan aur aapoorti ka anurodh karne ke liye bheja.

Nabal ne apmaan ke saath David ke anurodh ka jawaab diya aur apne logon ko khaali-haath bhej diya.

Yah kahakar David ne aake Nabal aur uske gharaane par chadhai karne ke liye taeyaar kiya, yeh keh kar, “Ki us ne bhalai ke badle mujh se burai ki hai.”¹ Ek daas ne Nabal ki patni Abigail ko apne pati dwara David ke aadmiyon ke saath kiye gae durvyavahaar ke baare mein bataya. Abigail ne sheeghrata se aavashyak bhojan aur saamagree ikatthi ki aur madhyastha karne chali gai.

Jab Abigaill us se mili, tab “woh David ke saamne munh ke bal girkar bhumi par gir gai,

“Aur uske paao par gir kar, aur kaha, he mere prabhu, mujh par yah adharm ho. …

“Isliye ab, … Prabhu ne tujhe lahu bahaane aane, aur aapke hi haath se apna palta lene se rok diya hai. …

“… Ab yah aashish jo teri daasi ne mere prabhu ko di hai, woh jawaan purshon ko bhi di jae. …

“Main tujh se praathana karta hoon, apni daasi ke aparaadh ko chama kar. …

“Tab David ne Abigail se kaha, Israel ka Prabhu Parmeshwar dhanye hai, jis ne aaj ke din tujh ko mujh se bhent karne ko bheja hai.

“Aur tera sammati dhanye hai, aur tuh dhanye hai, jisne aaj mujhe lahu bahaane, aur aapke hi haath se apna palta lene se, aane se rok rakha hai. …

“Tab David ne uske haath se jo kuch woh uske paas le aai thee, grahan kiya, aur us se kaha, kushal se apne ghar ja; main ne teri baat maani hai, aur tere praan ko grahan kiya hai.”²

Weh donon shaanti se chale gae.

Is akaunt mein, Abigail ko Ishu Masih ke ek shaktishaali prakaar ya prateek ke roop mein dekha jaa sakta hai.³ Apne praeshchit ke balidaan ke maadhyam se, Woh hamen ek yuddharat hriday ke paap aur bhaar se mukt kar sakta hai aur hamen wah jeevika pradaan kar sakta hai jiski hamen aavashyakta hai.⁴

Jis tarah Abigaill Nabal ke paap ko apne upar lene ke liye taeyaar thee, usi tarah Rakshak ne—ek samajh se baahar ke tarike se—hamare paapon aur un logon ke paapon ko Apne upar le liya jinhonne hamen chot pahunchai ya thes pahunchai.⁵ Gethsemane aur krus par, Usne in paapon ka davaa kiya. Usne hamare liye ek badla lenewaala hrday ko jaane dene ka maarg banaya. Woh “raasta” chama ke maadhyam se hai—jo hamare dwara kiye gae sabse kathin kaamon mein se ek ho sakta hai aur sabse divye cheezon mein se ek jise ham kabhi anubhav karte hain. Chama ke maarg par, Ishu Masih ki praeshchit ki shakti hamare jiwan mein pravaahit ho sakti hai aur hrday aur aatma ki gahari daraaron ko theek karna shuru kar sakti hai.

President Russell M. Nelson ne sikhaya hai ki Rakshak hamen chama karne ki chamta pradaan karta hai:

“Unke anant Praeshchit ke dwara, aap unhe maaf kar sakte hai jis ne aapko dukh diya hai aur apne kroorta ki zimmedaari nahi lena chahate.

“Zyaadatar unhe maaf karna aasaan hota hai jo sacche mann aur vinamrata se aap se maafi chahate hai. Lekin Rakshak aapko kisi bhi tarah se galat vyavahaar karne waale kisi bhi vyakti ko chama karne ki chamta pradaan karega. Tab unki chot pahunchaane wali harkaten ab aapki aatma ko naash nahin kar sakti.”⁶

Abigail ka prachur maatra mein bhojan aur aapurti laana hamen sikha sakta hai ki Rakshak un logon ko pradaan karta hai jo chot khaae aur ghaayal hue hain hamen changa hone aur sampurn banane ke liye bhojan aur sahaeta ki aavashyakata hai.⁷ Hum dusron ke kaaryon ke parinaamon se khud nipatne ke liye nahin bache hain; hamen bhi sampurn banaya ja sakta hai aur yuddharat hrday ke bhaar aur uske baad aane waali kisi bhi kaarravai se bachne ka mauka diya jaa sakta hai.

Prabu ne kaha, “Mai Prabhu unko maaf karunga jise mai maaf karunga, magar tumko aavashyak hai ki sabhi manushye ko maaf karna.”⁸ Prabhu chahata hoon ki hum apne bhale ke liye chama karein.⁹ Lekin Woh hamen Uski madad, Uske pyaar, Uski samajh ke bina aisa karne ke liye nahin kehta hai. Prabhu ke saath hamari vaachaon ke maadhyam se, ham mein se pratyek ko mazboot karne waali shakti, maargadarshan, aur sahaeta praapt karne ki aavashyakta hai jo hamen chama karne aur chama paane ke liye chahiye.

Kripya jaan lein ki kisi ko chama karne ka matlab yah nahin hai ki aap khud ko aisi sthiti mein daal dein, jaha aapko chot lagti rahegi. Hum kisi ko chama karne ki disha mein kaarye kar sakte hain aur phir bhi Aatma dwara unse door rehne ke liye prerit mehsoos kar sakte hain.”¹⁰

Jis tarah Abigaill ne David ko “dil ka apmaan”¹¹ na karne aur uski zaroorat ki madad paane mein madad ki, usi tarah Rakshak aapki madad karega. Woh aapse pyaar karta hai, aur Woh aapke raaste mein “Apne pankhon mein changai ke saath” aapse mil raha hai.¹² Woh aapki shaanti chahata hai.

Mainne vyaktigat rup se apne yuddhara(warring)t hrday ko changa karte hue Masih ke chamatkaar ko dekha hai. Apne pita ki anumati se, main saajha karta hoon ki main ek aise ghar mein pali-badhi hoon jaha main bhaavanaatmak(emotional) aur maukhik(verbal) durvyavahaar ke kaaran hamesha surakshit mehsoos nahin karti thi. Apni yuva avastha aur jawaan baalig ke saalon mein, mainne apne pita se naaraazgi jataai aur us chot se mere dil mein gussa aa gaya.

Varshon se aur chama ke maarg par shaanti aur changai paane ke mere prayaason mein, mujhe gehrai se ehsaas hua ki wahi Parmeshwar ka Putr jisne mere paapon ka praeshchit kiya wahi Muktidaata hai jo un logon ka bhi uddhaar karega jinhonne gehrai se mujhe dukh pahuchaya hai. Main vaastav mein dusre par vishwaas kiye bina pehle sachch par vishwaas nahin kar sakta tha.

Jaise-jaise Rakshak ke liye mera prem badha hai, waise hi meri ichcha hai ki main chot aur krodh ko Uske changaai ke baam se badal doon. Yah kai varshon ki prakriya rahi hai, jismen saahas, bhedyata, drdhata, aur bachaane aur changa karne ke liye Rakshak ki divye shakti par bharosa karna seekhna aavashyak hai. Mujhe abhi bhi kaam karna hai, lekin mera dil ab yuddh ke raaste par nahin hai. Mujhe “naya hrday” diya gaya hai”¹³—ek aisa jisne ek vyaktigat Rakshak ke gehre aur sthaayi prem ko mehsoos kiya hai, jo mere saath raha, jisne dhire aur dhairyapurvak mujhe ek behtar sthaan par pahunchaaya, jo mere saath roya, jo mere dukh ke baare mein jaanta tha.

Prabhu ne mujhe pratipurak aashishen bheji hain, jaise Abigail David ko jo kuch chahiye thee, woh le aayi. Unhonne mere jiwan mein guru bheje hain. Aur sabse madhur aur sabse adhik parivartankaari mere Swargiye Pita ke saath mera sambandh raha hai. Uske maadhyam se, mainne krtagyataapurvak ek siddh Pita ke komal, surakshaatmak aur maargadarshak prem ko jaana hai.

Elder Richard G. Scott ne kaha: “Jo kiya gaya hai use aap mita nahin sakte, lekin aap chama kar sakte hain.¹⁴ Chama bhayaanak, dukhad ghaao ko bhar deti hai, kyunki yah Parmeshwar ke prem ko aapke hrday aur mann ko ghrna ke zahar se shuddh karne ki anumati deti hai. Yah badla lene ki ichcha ki aapki chetna ko shuddh karta hai. Yah shuddhikaran, changaai, Prabhu ke prem ko phir sthaapit karne ke liye jagah banaata hai.”¹⁵

Mere prithvi pita ka bhi haal ke varshon mein hrday mein chamatkaari parivartan hua hai aur unhonne Prabhu ki or rukh kiya hai—aisa kuch jiski mainne is jiwan mein aasha nahin ki hogi. Ishu Masih ki purn aur parivartankaari shakti ki mere liye ek aur gawahi.

Main jaanta hoon ki Woh paapiyon aurjinke khilaaf paap kiya gaya hai ko changa kar sakta hai. Woh duniya ka Rakshak aur Muktidaata hai, jisne apna jiwan de diya taaki ham phir se jee saken. Usne kaha, “Prabhu ka Aatma mujh par hai, kyunki us ne kangaalon ko susamaachaar sunaane ke liye mera abhishek kiya hai; us ne mujhe toote mann waalon ko changa karne, bandhuon ko chudaane, aur andhon ko drshti praapt karne ka updesh dene, kuchle huon ko chudaane ke liye.”¹⁶

Un sabhi ke liye jo toote hue, bandee, chotil, aur shaayad chot ya paap se andhe hue hain, vah changaee, sahi karna, aur chutakaara ko deta hai. Main gawahi deta hoon ki Woh jo changaai aur sudhaar pradaan karta hai woh vaastavik hai. Woh changaai ka samay vyaktigat hai, aur ham dusre ke samay ka nyaay nahin kar sakte. Is prakriya mein khud ko theek hone aur khud ke prati dayalu hone ke liye aavashyak samay dena mahatvapurn hai. Rakshak hamesha dayalu aur chaukas hai aur hamen sahaeta pradaan karne ke liye taeyaar hai.¹⁷

Chama aur changaai ke maarg par hamare parivaaron ya anye jagahon par aswasth petan ya rishton ko kaayam na rakhne ka vikalp hai. Hamare prabhaav mein sabhee ke lie, ham kroorata ke lie daya, napharat ke lie pyaar, gharshan ke lie namrata, sankat ke liye suraksha, aur vivaad ke liye shaanti ki peshkash kar sakte hain.

Jise dene se aapko inkaar kiya gaya hai, woh Ishu Masih mein vishwaas ke maadhyam se sambhav ishvareeye changaai ka ek shaktishaali hissa hai. Is tarah se jeene ke liye jo aap dete hain, jaisa ki Isaiah ne kaha hai, aapke jiwan ki raakh ke liye sundartaa¹⁸ vishwaas ka ek kaary hai jo ek Rakshak ke sarvuchch udaaharan ka anusaran karta hai jisne vah sab saha taaki Woh sabhi ki sahaayata kar sakein.

Egypt ka Joseph raakh ke saath jiwan vyateet karta tha. Woh apne bhaaiyon se nafrat karta tha, vishwaasghaat saha tha, gulaami mein becha jaata tha, galat tarike se kaid kiya jaata tha, aur kisi aise vyakti dwara bhula diya jaata tha jisne madad karne ka vaada kiya tha. Phir bhi usne Prabhu par bharosa rakha. “Prabhu Joseph ke sang raha”¹⁹ aur apni parikshaon ko apni aashish aur vrddhi ke liye apne parivaar aur saare Egypt ke uddhaar ke liye pavitr kiya.

Jab Joseph apne bhaaiyon se Egypt mein ek mahaan neta ke roop mein mila, to uski chama aur parishkrt drshtikon uske dwara bole gae anugrahapurn shabdon mein prakat hua:

“Ab tum dukhi mat ho, aur na hi khud se krodhit ho, ki tum ne mujhe yaha bech diya: kyunki Parmeshwar ne mujhe jiwan ki raksha karne ke liye bheja tha. …

“To ab woh tum nahi the ki mujhe yaha bheja, lekin Parmeshwar.”²⁰

Rakshak ke dwara, Joseph ka jiwan “raakh ke liye sundarta” ban gaya.”²¹

BYU ke adhyaksh Kevin J Worthen ne kaha hai ki Parmeshwar “achcha laa sakta hai … na kewal hamari saphaltaon se balki hamari asafaltaon aur dusron ki viphalataon se bhi jo hamen dard dete hain. Parmeshwar utna achcha aur utna shaktishaali hai.”²²

Main gawahi deta hoon ki prem aur chama ka sabse bada udhaaran hamare Rakshak, Ishu Masih hai, jisne kadvee peeda mein kaha, “Pita, unhen chama kar; kyunki weh nahin jaante ki ve kya karte hain.”²³

Main jaanta hoon ki Swarg mein hamara Pita apne pratyek bachche ke liye bhalaee aur aasha chahata hai. Jeremiah mein ham padhte hain, “Kyunki jo vichaar main tere vishay mein sochta hoon, vah Main jaanta hoon, Prabhu ki yahi vaani hai, shaanti ke vichaar.”²⁴

Ishu Masih aapka vyaktigat Masiha hai, aapka pyaar karne vaala Muktidaata aur Rakshak hai, jo aapke dil kee yaachna ko jaanta hai. Woh aapke changaai aur khushi ki kaamna karta hai. Woh aapse prem karta hai. Woh tumhare dukhon mein tumhare saath rota hai aur tumhen changa karne mein aanandit hota hai. Hum dil thaam lein aur Uska pyaar bhara haath lein jo hamesha badhaaya jaata hai²⁵ jab ham chama ke changaai ke maarg par chalte hain, Ishu Masih ke naam se meri praathana hai, amen.
