Masih me I Din Sambhal Jaao

Woh spasht aur seedhe nitikathaaon, asaral, aur gehre siddhaanto se bhara din tha. Un logon ko kadi daant lagane ke baad jo “safed kabro ke samaan the, jo baahar se toh sundar dikhaai dete hai, par bheetar mare huwe insaano ki haddiyon aur saari ashudhtta se bhare huwe hain,”¹ Ishu ne dhaarmik taeyaari aur shishyeta ke baare me teen aur nitikathaaen sikhaae. In me se ek das kunwaariyon ka nitikatha tha.

“Tabh swarg ka raajye un das kuwaariyon ke samaan hoga jo apni battiyaan lekar dulhe se bhent karne ko nikli.

“Aur unmein paanch samajhdaar aur paanch moorakh thi.

“Woh jo murakh thi ne apne battiyaan li, aur apne saath kuch bhi tel nahi le gayi:

“Par jo unmein samajhdaar thi apan battiyon ke sange tel bhi le gayi.

“Jab dulhe ko aane me der hui, to weh jhapki maarne lagi aur so gayi.

“Aur achaanak aadha raat me koi chillae ke bolis, Dekho, dulha aai gais; aao aur milo.

“Tab uh sab kunwaariyan uthis aur apan apan batti taeyaar karis.

“Aur murakh ladki log samajhdaaron se bolis, Hamme apan tel me se kuch tel deo, kaae ki hamaar batti bute waala hai.

“Lekin uh samajhdaar ladki log uttar dees, Nahi, Ih hamaar aur tumaar waaste pura nahi hoi: lekin jaao beche la long ke paas, aur apan waaste tel khareedo.

“Aur jab uh-log tel khareede ke waaste chala gain, tab dulha aai gais; aur jon taeyaar rahis shaadi me chala gain uske saathe: aur palla band hoi gais.

“Baad me uh murakh ladki log tel le ke lautis, aur bulaais, Prabhu Prabhu, hum log ke liye palla kholo.²

“Lekin uh jawaab dees aur bolis, Hum tumse sach bolta hai, Hum tumme nahi janta.³

“Isliye jaagte raho, kyunki tum naa toh uh din ke janta hai, na uh samay, jab manushye ka Putr aaega.”⁴

President Dallin H. Oaks Dulha ke aawe ke samabandh me ih sochne-waala sawaal bolis:⁵ “Konchi hoi agar Uske aawe laa din bhyaan rahi? Agar hum log janta ki hum log bhyaan Prabhu se milega—apan haali maut ya Uske achaanak aawe se—toh hum log aaj konchi karega?”⁶

Hum apan khud ke anubhao se seekha hai ki Prabhu ke aawe laa dhaarmik taeyaari khali aawashyak nahi hai balkisachchi shaanti aur khushi paae ke ek hi tarika hai.

Woh ek thanda patjhadh ke din raha jab hum pehla dafa ih shabd suna “Aapke cancer hai.” Hum aur hamaar pati dang reh gaye! Jaise hi hum samaachaar ke baare me sochte huwe, chupchaap ghare jaata raha, hamme hamaar teen ladkan ke yaad aais.

Hum apan mann me Swargiye Pita se pucha, “Kya hum mare waala hai?”

Pawitr Aatma dhire se batais, “Sab cheez raait hoe jaai.”

Tabh hum pucha, “Kya hum zinda rahega?”

Phir se, wohi jawaab aais, “Sab cheez raait hoe jaai.”

Hamme haeraani hois. Kaae hum wahi jawaab mila chaahe hum zinda rahega ya marega?

Tabh achaanak hamaar rom-rom param shaanti se bhar geis, jab hamme yaad dilaawa ge: Hum long ke jaldi se ghare jaae ke apan ladkan ke praathna kare ke sikhaae ke zaroorat nahi hai. Uh log jaane ki praathna se jawaab aur aaraam kaese sake mile. Hamein jaldi se ghare jaae ke uh log ke shaastro ya jiwit prophets ke shabdo ke baare me sikhaawe ke nahi raha. Woh shabd pehle se hi taaqat aur samajh ke zariya raha. Hamein jaldi se ghare jaae ke uh log ke pashchataap, Punarjiwan, Punahsthaapna, uddhaar ke yojna, anant parivaaro, ya Ishu Masih ke siddhaant ke baare me sikhaae ke nahi raha.

Uh pal me har ek pariwaarik shaam sabha ka paath, dharamshaastr adhyan samay, vishwaas se ki gayi praathna, diya gaya ashirwaad, baanti gayi gawaahi, banae aur nibhaae gaye vachan, Prabhu ke ghar me bhaag lena, aur Sabbath din jiska paalan kiya gaya—oh, yeh kitna maaene rakhne laga! Hum log ke batti me tel chode laa samay nikal ge raha. Hum log ke har ek bund ke zaroorat raha, aur hum log ke abhi iski zaroorat thi!

Ishu Masih aur Uske punahsthaapit susamachaar ke kaaran, agar hum mar giya, toh hamaar parivaar ke sahanubhuti mili, majbooti mili, aur ek din sab sahi hoi jaae. Agar mai zinda rehti, toh mujhe sahayta dene, sahaara dene, aur theek hone ke liye ih dharti pe sabse badi shakti ki pahunch hoti. Anth me, Ishu Masih ke kaaran, sab cheez raait sake howe.

Hum log Doctrine and Covenants ke saodhaani se adhyan se seekhe sakta hai ki “raait” konchi ke bole:

“Aur uh din, jab Hum apan mahima me aaega, tabh uh nitikatha pura hoi jon hum das kunwaariyon ke baare me bataya raha.

“Jon bhi budhimaan hai aur sachchaai paae lees hai, aur Pavitr Aatma ke apan aguwa banae lees hai, aur abhi tak behka nahi hai—dekho hum tumse bolta hai, uh long ke giraya nahi jaai aur aagi me nahi biga jaai, lekin uh long ih din sambhal jaai⁷

Ishu Masih hum long ke liye mumkin kare hai “ih din sambhle ke.” Ih din sambhle ke matlab lagaataar-badhti kaarye-suchi me shaamil hona nahi hai. Ek megnifaaing lens ke baare me sochiye. Uska ekmaatr lakshye sirf cheezon ko badaa dikhaana nahi hai. Ise adhik shaktishaali banaane ke liye yeh raushni ko ikattha aur focas bhi kar sakta hai. Hamein apne koshisho ko saral banana, aur focas karna hai, aur Ishu Masih ki raushni ko ikattha karnewaala banne ki zaroorat hai. Hamein adhik pawitr aur revalaishan paane waale anubhao ki zaroorat hai.

Uttar-pakshimi Israel me sthit ek khoobsurat parwat maala hai jise aksar “sadaa-bahaar parwat” kaha jaata hai. Maunt Carmel⁸ pura saal bhar hara rehta hai, zyaadatar isliye ki thodi maatra me oas(dew) wahan rehti hai. Poshan har din hota hai. Carmel ki oas ki tarah,”⁹ jab hum log apan aatmaaon ke “dhaarmikta se sambandhit cheezon se,”¹⁰ ”choti aur saral cheezon se”¹¹ poshit karna chahate hai, hamari gawahi aur hamare bachcho ki gawahi jiwit rahegi!

Ab, aap soch rahe honge, “Lekin Bahan Wright, aap hamaar parivaar ke nahi jaanti. Hum vaastav me sangharsh kar rahe hain aur aise kuch bhi nahi dikhta hai. Aap sahi ho. Hum aapke parivaar ke nahi jaanti. Lekin anant prem, daya, shakti, gyaan, aur mahima waala Ishwar aysa karta hai.

Jon sawaal aap karta hai woh dil ke sawaal hai jon aapke aatma ke gehraai me dard karte hai. Yahi rakam ke sawaal pawitr shaastro me paae jaate hai:

“Swami, kya aapke nahi lage ki [hamaar parivaar] nasht ho jaai?”¹²

“Ab hamaar aasha kahan hai?”¹³

“[Hum] konchi kari, ki andhkaar ke ih baadal [hamaar uppar] se hath jaae?”¹⁴

“Kahan buddhi mili? aur samajh ke jagah kahan hai?”¹⁵

“Ih kaise mumkin hai ki [hum] sab achcha cheez pe kabza kar saki?”¹⁶

“He Prabhu, aap hum se konchi karwaae mangta hai?”¹⁷

Aur tabh bahut sundar jawaab mile hai:

“Kya aap mukti ke liye Masih ke shakti me vishwaas karta hai?”¹⁸

“Kya Prabhu koi ke aagya dees hai ki uh uske bhalaai me bhaag nahi le?”¹⁹

“Aap ko vishwaas hai ki [Woh] aesa kare paai?”²⁰

“Kya aap prophets pe vishwaas karta hai?”²¹

“Kya aap unki mukti me vishwaas karta haijon aapke banais hai?”²²

“Kya pura dharti ka Nyayi(Judge) sahi kaam nahi kari?”²³

Hamar pyaare doston, hum apna tel baant nahi sakte, lekin hum Unki raushni baant sakte hai. Hamare battiyon ka tel na sirf hamein “ih din sambhle” me madad kari, balki uh maarg ke raoshan kare ke saadhan bhi bane saki, jon uh log ke Rakshak tak le ke jaai, jon uh log ke “praapt kare ke liye khuli baanho ke saath” taeyaar hai.²⁴

“Prabhu yeh kehta hai; apan aawaaz ke rowe se roko, apan aankho ke aansu se roko: kyunki aapke kaam ka pratifal milega, … aur woh shatru ke desh se laot jaaenge.

“Aur Prabhu ka yahi kehna hai ki tumhare anth me aasha hai, ki tumhare ladkan apne desh me phir laot aaenge.”²⁵

Ishu Masih hi “tumhare anth me aasha hai.” Hum ne jo kuch bhi kiya hai ya naa kiya hai woh Uske anant aur shaaswat balidaan ke pahunch se door nahi hai. Woh hi kaaran hai ki yeh hamare kahaani ka kabhi anth nahi hai.²⁶ Is kaaran “tum Masih me dridh vishwaas rakhte huwe aasha ki akhand jyoti me aur Parmeshwar aur sabhi manushyon se prem rakhte huwe, sadeo aage badhte chalo. Isliye, agar [hum] aage badhte rahega, Masih ke vaani ke pyaala peete rahega, aur anth tak sab jhelega, tab suno, Pita ih rakam se bole hai: [Hum log ke] anant jiwan mili.”²⁷

Anant jiwan anant khushi hai. Ih jiwan me khushi, abhi—hamare din ki chunaotiyon ke baawajood nahi balki Prabhu ki madad se seekhne aur anth me unse ubarne ke ki wajah se—aur aane waale jiwan me aseem khushi. Aansu sookh jaaenge, tute dil judh jaaenge, jo kho gaya hai woh mil jaaega, chintaaen door ho jaaengi, pariwaas phir se sthaapit ho jaaenge aur Pita ke paas jo kuch hai woh sab hamara ho jaaega.²⁸

Ishu Masih ki or dekho aur jiyo²⁹ priye “[hamari] aatmaaon ke Charwaahe aur Bishop”³⁰ ke paak aur pawitr naam me meri gawahi hai, Ishu Masih, amen.
