Antim Dinon ke liye ek Jiwit Profat

Elder Allen D. Haynie dwara

Sattar ke

Swarg ke Pita ne profat ke maadhyam se Apane bachchon ko sachchai prakat karne ka tarika chuna hai.

Jab ham chota ladka tha, mujhe Shaniwaar bahut pasand tha kyunki us din mainne jo kuch bhee kiya woh ek edvencha jaisa tha. Lekin koi phark nahin padta ki hamne kya kiya, yeh hamesha sabse mahatvpurn cheej se pehle hota tha—teleevijan par kaartoon dekhna. Aisi hee ek Shaniwaar kee subah, jab main Televishan ke paas khada tha aur chainalon ko palat raha tha, hamne dekha ki jis kaartoon kee mujhe umeed thee, usse Ishu Masih ke Girjaghar Antim-dinon ke Santon ka maha sammelan ke prasaaran se badal diya gaya tha. Televishan dekhte hue aur shikayeti karte hue keeikoi kaartoon nahin tha, mainne ek saphed baalon vaale aadmi ko soot aur taee me ek achchi kursee par baithe dekha.

Waha kuch alag tha uske baare me, toh hamne apne bade bhaai se pucha, “Woh kaun hain?”

Usne bola, “Woh President David O. McKay hain, woh ek profat hain.”

Mujhe yaad hai kee kuch mehsoos kar raha tha aur yah jaane kee woh ek profat tha. Phir, kyunki ham ek jawaan ladka jo kaartoon dekhna bahut pasand tha, hamne chainal ko badal diya. Lekin ham kabhee nahin bhoola ki us thode samay ke dauraan mainne kya mehsoos kiya, achanaak revelatory samay kee. Ek profat ke saath, kabhee-kabhee ise jaanane me kewal ek samay lagta hain.1

Revelaishan dwara yah jaanna ki prithvi par ek jiwit profat hai, sab kuch badal deta hai.2 Yeh ek vyakti ko is bahas me dilchaspee nahin lene ka karan banata hai kee profat kab profat ke roop me bol raha hai ya kis profetik salaah ka palan karna ya aswikaar karna chunna.3 Aisa prakat gyaan ek jiwit profat kee salaah par bharosa karne ke liye aamantrit karta hai,4bhale hee ham ise puri tarah se na samajh pae.4 Aakirkar, ek sabse badhiya aur pyaari Swarg ki Pita ne profat ke maadhyam se apne bachchon ko sachchai prakat karne ka tarika chuna, hai, koi aisa vyakti jisne kabhee is tarah ke pavitr bulaave kee talaash nahin kee aur jise apne svayan ke prati jaagarook hone ke liye hamari madad kee koi aavashyakta nahin hai.5 Profat woh hai jise Parmeshwar ne vyaktigat roop se taeyaar kiya hai, bulaya hai, sudhaara hai, prerit kiya hai, rebuked kiya hai, pavitr kiya hai, aur sastaind kiya hai.6 Yahi karan hai ki profetik kee salaah ka palan karne me ham kabhi bhee aatmik roop se jokhim me nahin hain.

Bhale hee ham ise pasand kare ya nahin, ham sabhi ko in antim dinon me janm lene ke liye prithvi-purv jiwan me kisi na kisi roop me chuna gaya tha. Do sachchaiyon hain jo antim dinon se judee huee hain. Pehli sachchai yah hai ki Masih ki Girjaghar ko prithvi par phir se sthaapit kiya jaega. Dusri sachchai yah hai ki cheezen vaastav me chunauteepurn hone ja rahi hain. Dharamshaastra prakat karte hain ki antim dinon me prithvi kee phasalon ko nasht karne ke liye ek bada haelstom hogee,”7 plegs,8 “yuddh aur yuddh kee aphavaahen, aur saari prithvi me hangaama jaegi, … aur adharm badh jaega .”9

Jam ham bachcha tha, ant ke dinon kee un bhavishyavaaniyon ne mujhe dara diya aur hamko prarthna karne ke liye prerit kiya ki Dusri Aanewaala mere jiwankaal me na aae—kuch saphalta ke saath main ab tak jod sakta hoon. Lekin ab main iske vipreet prarthana karta hoon, bhale hee bhavishyavaanee kee gai chunautiyon ka aashvaasan diya gaya ho,10 kyunki jab Masih shaasan karne ke liye waapas aaega, to Uski sabhi rachanaen “surakshit roop se so jaegi.”11

Duniya kee maujood halaat se kuch logon ko gabrahat me daal diya hai. Jaisi kee Parmeshwar kee vaachan bachchon ke roop me, hamen iske piche bhaagne kee zaroorat nahin hai ya pareshaan samayon ke maadhyam se kaise neviget kiya jae. Hamen nahi darna chahiye.12 Siddhaant aur niyam jinka hamen aadhyaatmik roop se jiwit rehne aur shaareerik roop se sahane ke liye paalan karna chahiye, ek jiwit profat ke shabdon me pae jaate hain.13 Isliye President M. Russell Ballard ne yah ghoshana kee “yah koi choti baat nahin hai … kee hamare beech me Parmeshwar ke profat ho.”14

President Russell M. Nelson ne gawahi di kee “Apne bachchon ko padhaane ka Parmeshwar ka purana sthaapit tarika profats ke dwara hamen vishwaas dilaata hai ki Woh pratyek profat ko aasheesh dega aur Woh unhen aashish dega jo bhavishyadvaanee kee sammati maanate hain.”15 Aisa hai kee chaabi jiwit profat ka aagya karna hai.16 Bhaaiyon aur bahanon,purani komik kitaabon aur klaasik kaaron ke vipareet, bhavishyavaaniy shikshaen umr ke saath adhik moolyavaan nahin ho jaatee. Isliye hamen pichale profats ke shabdon ka upayog karne kee koshish nahin karni chahiye kee jeevit profats kee shikshaon ko khaarij karne ke liye.17

Main Ishu Masih dwara istemaal kiye gae perabals bahut pasand hain susamaachaar siddhaanton ko sikhaane ke liye. Ham aaj subah aapke saath ek vaastavik jiwan ka perabals sheyar karna chahata hoon.

Ek din ham dopahar ka bhojan karne ke liye Girjaghar hedqortas ke kaipheteriya me gaya. Khaane kee thaalee milne ke baad, mainne daening jagah me pravesh kiya aur ek mej dekha jis par First Presidency ke teenon sadasye baithe the, saath me ek khaalee kursee. Meri asurakshain(securities) ke karan mujhe us tebal se jaldee se alag ho jaana pada, aur phir hamne hamare profat ki awaaz ko sunna, President Russell M. Nelson, ne bola, “Allen, waha ek khaalee kursee hai. Aao, aur hamare saath baetho.” Aur mainne kiya.

Dopahar ke bhojan ke ant ke paas, jor se karkash aawaaj sunkar main haeraan rah gaya, aur jab main upar dekha, hamne dekha ki President Nelson apani plaastik kee paani kee botal ko seedha khada kar diya tha aur phir ise chapata kiya aur dhakan ko badal diya.

President Dallin H. Oaks ne phir woh sawal puha jo main puchna chahata tha, “President Nelson, tumne apni plaastik kee paani kee botal ko chapata kyon kiya?”

Usne jawaab diya, “yah un logon ke liye aasaan banata hai jo reesaekal mateeriyals ko sambhaal rahe hain kyunki yah reesaekal kantenar me utanee jagah nahin leta hai.”

Us jawaab par vichaar karte hue, mujhe phir se wahi churmur kee aawaaj sunaee dee. Hamne apani daahinee or dekha, aur President Oaks ne President Nelson kee tarah hee apani plaastik kee paani kee botal ko chapata kiya hai. Hamne tab apani baee or kuch shor suna, aur President Henry B. Eyring apani plaastik kee paani kee botal ko chapata kar rahe the, aisa hone par bhee woh botal horizontal hone par aisa karke ek alag stretajee apana raha tha, jismen botal ko seedhe upar uthaane se zyaada mehnat lagti thee. Yeh dekhte hue, President Nelson ne botal ko aur aasaani se chapata karne ke liye krpaya unhen botal-stret-ap takneek dikhai.

Us point me, hamne President Oaks ki or jhuka aur chupchaap pucha, “kya aapki plaastik kee paani kee botal ko chapata karna kaipheteriya kee ek naee reesaikling zaroorat hai?”

President Oaks ne jawaab diya, uske chehre par muskaan ke saath, “Achchai, Allen, tumhe profat ka aagya karna chahiye.”

Hamme vishwaas hai ki President Nelson us din kaipheteriya me kuch nae reesaikling-based siddhaant kee ghoshna nahin kar rahe the. Lekin ham President Oaks18 kee utejit jawaab se seekh sakte hain aur President Eyring President Nelson ke udhaaran se aur President Nelson kee saodhaani se un logon ko behtar tareeke se padhaane me madad kare.19

Kai saal pahale, Elder Neal A. Maxwell ne kuch tippaniyon aur salaah ko saajha kiya tha jo hamare dinon ke sambandh me bhavishyadvaanee ke anusaar hai:

“Aane vaale maheenon aur varshon me, kaaryekram me har ek sadasye ko yah tay karne kee zaroorat hotee hai ki woh [ya wah] First Presidency ka aagya karega ya nahin. Sadasyon ko do raayon ke beech adhik samay tak rukhna bahut kathin lagega. …

“… Aaie ham ek rikord chhod de taaki chunaav kleeyar ho, dusron ko jaisa weh chahate hain waisa karne dena bhavishyavaanee kee salaah ke chehre me. …

“Ishu ne bola kee jab anjeer(fig) ke ped apane pattee dete hain, ‘garmee kal neekat hai.’ … Ih prakaar chetaaoni dee ki garmee ham par hai, ham garmee kee shikaayat na karen!”20

Badtee peedhi badh rahee hai aisa samay jab anjeer ke patte adhik hain aur adhik garmee hotee hai. Woh sachchai pehle se hee uthee huee peedhee par ek bhaaree zimmedaaree daltaa hai, khaas taur par jab bhaavishyevaani salaah ka palan karne kee baat aatee hai. Jab maata-pita jiwit profat kee salaah ko dyaan na de, weh na kewal svayan ke liye pratigya kee gai aashishon ko kho dete hain lekin isse bhee adhik dukh kee baat hai ki weh apane bachchon ko sikhaate hain ki profat jo kehta hai woh mahatvaheen hai ya bhavishyevaani salaah ko parinaamee aadhyaatmik krposhaan(mulnutrition) kee parvaah kiye bina ek smorgaasbord phaishan ke maadhyam se liya ja sakta hai.

Elder Richard L. Evans ek baar bola tha: “Kuch mata-pita galtee se mehsoos karte hain ki weh thoda aaraam kar sakte hain achcharan aur anuroopta … ki weh apane parivaar ko prabhaavit kiye bina buniyaadi baaton me thodee aasani kar sakte hain ya uski parivaar kee bhavishye. Lekin, agar koi maata-pita thoda bhatak jaata hai, bachchon maata-pita ke udhaaran se adhik hone kee sambhaavana hai.”21

Ek aisee peedhee ke roop me jiske paas aane waali peedhee ko baad ke dinon me iskee bhavishyavaani kee gai bhoomika ke liye tayaar karane ka pavitr prabhaar hai,22 kis bhoomika ko aise samay me pura kiya jaana chahiye jab virodhee apne prabhaav ke charam par ho,23bhavishyavaani salaah ka paalan karne ke mahatv ke baare me ham bhram ka srot nahin ho sakate. Yeh wahi salaah hai jo bhadtee peedhi ko dekhne kee anumati dega ki “dushman jab tak [abhee] dur hai;aur phir [weh ban sakte hain] dushman ke hamale ka saamna karne ke liye taeyaar.24 Hamare prateet hone vaale chote bhool, dhyaan na dena, ya bhavishyavaani kee salaah ke jawab me phusaphusae alochanao ka parinaam ho sakta hai ki ham kewal vaachan ke maarg ke kinare ke paas chal rahe ho; lekin jab badhtee peedhee ke jiwan me virodhi dwara badha, aisee chal-chalan unhen us raaste ko puree tarah se chodne ke liye prabhaavit kar saktee hain. Aane waalee peedhiyon par iska keemat prabhaav bahut adhik hoga.25

Tum me se kuch logon ko lag sakta hai ki tumhari apane koshihon me kam pad gae hain President Russell M. Nelson kee salaah ka paalan karne me. Yadi aisa hai, to pash‍chaataap karo; phir se Parmeshwar ke chune hue profat kee salaah par aagya shuroo karo. Bachcho ka sa kaartoono kee vyaakulata ko dur karen aur Prabhu ke abhishikt par bharosa rakhe. Kush ho kyunki ek baar phir “Israel me ek profat hai.”26

Bhale hee aap anishchit ho, main gawahi deta hoon ki ham antim dinon kee garmee ka saamana kar sakte hain aur unme panpanaa bhee. Ham antim dinon ke Sant hai, aur ye bade achche dinon hai. Ham is samay prithvi par aane ke liye chinteet the, vishwaas ke saath ki jab virodhi ke booraaur badhte hue ja raha hai to ham thokar nahin chhode jaenge aur braamak dhoondh27 balki salaah lene ke liye aur uski or se nirdesh jo puri duniya ko kehne ke liye adhikar diya gaya hai.“Ih prakar Prabhu ne bola.”28 Us profat ke pavitr naam se jise Parmeshwar ne paala, Israel ka Pavitra,29 yaha tak bhee Ishu Masih, amen.

Notes

  1. President Russell M. Nelson ne haal hee me Brigham Young University me chaatron ko usee vyaktigat reveilashan anubhav ka anubhav karne ke liye aamantrit kiya: “Apane Swarg ke Pita se puche ki kya ham vaastav me Prabhu ke apostal aur profat hain. Puche ki kya hamen is aur anye maamlon par revelaishan mila hai ” (“The Love and Laws of God” [Brigham Young University devotional, Sept. 17, 2019], speeches.byu.edu). Neil L Andersen bhi dekhiye“, “The Prophet of God,” LiahonaMay 2018, 26: Antim-dinon ke Santon hoye ke hum log ke paas vishesh adhikaar hai, jisse hum log sakta apne gawahi prapt kare ki President Nelson ke niyukti Parmeshwar se mila hai. Profat Abinadi ko sunane se Alma ke konveshan kee kahani is baat ka aur saboot detee hai ki profat ke vishay me reveilashan ham sabhee ke liye uplabdh hai (dekhiye Mosiah 13:5; 17:2).

  4. “Kabhi-kabhi hamen aisee salaah milti hai jise ham samajh nahin paate ya ham par laagoo nahin hota hai ki, hoshiyaar prarthana aur soch ke baad bhee. Salaah ko na chhode, lekin iss paas rakhe. Agar koi jis par tum bharosa karte ho woh tumhe ret ke siva aur kuch nahin is pratigya ke saath saumpe ki usme sona hai, aap samajhdari se ise thodee der ke liye apane haath me pakad sakte hain, ise dheere se hila sakte hain. Har baar mainne profat kee sammati se aisa kiya hai,kuch samay baad sone ke guchche dikhaee dene lage hain aur main abhaari ho gaya hoon ” (Henry B.
