Swikaar karne aur palan karne mein vinamr

Alma ke paanchwa adhyaye mein ek aatmavishleshanaatmak(introspective) prashn prastut kiya gaya hai: “Kya aap kah sakte hain, yadi tumhen is samay marne ke liye bulaya gaya hai, to apne mein hi, ki tum paryaapt roop se vinamr ho gae ho?”¹ Us prashn ka taatpary yah hai ki Parmeshwar ki upasthiti mein lautne ke liye taeyaar hone ke liye vinamrata ek anivaary aavashyak hai.

Ham sabhi yah sochna pasand karte hain ki ham kaaphi vinamr hain, lekin jeevan ke kuchh anubhav hamen yah ehasaas dilaate hain ki svaabhaavik roop se gauravaanvit vyakti aksar hamare bheetar bahut jeevit hota hai.

Varshon pahale, jab hamari do betiyaan abhi bhi ghar par rah rahi theen, main ne unhen aur apni patni ko vah vyaavasaayik ikaee(business unit) dikhaane ka phaisla kiya, jiske liye main jis company mein kaam karta tha, uska prabhaari tha.

Mera vaastavik uddeshy unhen ek aisee jagah dikhaana tha, jaha hamare ghar ke vipareet, har koi mujhse savaal kiye bina wahi karega jo main ne unse karne ko kaha tha. Jaise hi ham saamne vaale gate par pahunche, jo aam taur par meri kaar ke paas aane par apne aap khul jaata tha, mujhe aashchary hua ki is baar vah nahin khula. Iske bajaay, ek suraksha gaard jise main ne pahale kabhi nahin dekha tha, kaar ke paas aaya aur mujhse meree kampanee ID maangee.

Main ne us se kaha ki mujhe apnee kaar ke saath sampatti mein jaane ke liye kabhi bhi ID ki aavashyakata nahin padi aur phir main ne us se klaasik gauravapurn prashn pucha: “Kya aap jaante hain ki aap kis se baat kar rahe hain?”

Jis par unhone jawaab diya, “Theek hai, kyonki aapke paas aapkee kampani kee ID nahin hai, main nahin jaan sakta ki aap kaun hain, aur jab main is gate par hoon to aapko uchit pahachaan ke bina parisar mein pravesh karne kee anumati nahin dee jaegei.”

Maine us sab par apnee betiyon kee pratikriya jaanchane ke liye rearview mirar ko dekhne ke baare mein socha, lekin mujhe pata tha ki ve us pal ke har sekand ka aanand le rahee theen! Mere bagal mein meri patni mere vyavahaar par asahamati mein apna sir hila rahi thee. Antim upaay yah tha ki gaard se maaphi maangoon aur kahoon ki uske saath itna bura vyavahaar karne ke liye mujhe bahut khed hai. “Aapko maaph kar diya gaya hai,” usne kaha, “lekin kampanee ID ke bina aap aaj bheetar nahin aaenge!”

Is moolyavaan sabak ko seekhne ke baad, main apnee ID praapt karne ke liye bahut dheemee gati se ghar vaapas chala gaya: jab ham vinamr na hone ka nirnay lete hain, to antatah ham apmaanit hote hain.

Proverbs mein hammen milta hai, “Manushye ka abhimaan use neecha kar deta hai: parantu jo man mein deen hota hai uska aadar hota hai.”² Vinamrata vikasit karne ke liye, hamen yah samajhna chaahiye ki susamaachaar ke sandarbh mein iska vaastav mein kya arth hai.

Kuch log vinamr hone ko anye cheezon se bhramit karte hain jaise ki gareeb hona. Lekin vaastav mein aise kai log hain jo gareeb aur ghamandee hain aur kai aise bhi hain jo ameer hain aur phir bhi vinamr hain. Anye log jo bahut sharmeele hote hain ya jinmen aatm-sammaan kam hota hai, unmen baahari taur par vinamrata dikhati hai lekin andar se weh garv se bhare hote hain.

To phir vinamrata kya hai? Preach My Gospel ke anusar, yah “Prabhu kee ichcha ke prati samarpit hone kee ichcha hai. … Yah sikhaane yogy hai. … [Yah ek] aadhyaatmik vikaas ke liye ek mahatvapoorn utprerak hai.”³

Nishchit roop se ham sabhee ke liye is Masih-sadrsh gun ko sudhaarne ke ka avasar hain. Main pahale yah jaanana chaahunga ki ham apne prophat ki salaah ka paalan karne mein kitne vinamr rahe hain ya hona chahiye. Hamare liye vyaktigat roop se ek pop kviz ho sakta hai:

• Kya ham apni sabhi baatacheet mein Girjaghar ke pure naam ka ullekh karte hain? President Nelson kahata hai, “Prabhu ke Church se Prabhu ka naam hataana shaetaan ke liye ek badi jeet hai.”⁴

• Kya ham apne prophets ke vishisht nimantran ko swikaar karke Parmeshwar ko apne jeevan mein prabal hone de rahe hain? “Aaj main har jagah apne sadasyon se purvaagrah ki pravrtti aur kaaryon ko tyaagne ka aahvaan karta hoon.”⁵

• Kya ham manushyon ke darshan se adhik Masih ke siddhaant par bharosa karke duniya par vijay praapt kar rahe hain, jaisa ki hamare prophet ne sikhaya tha?⁶

• Kya ham logon se aur unke baare mein sakaaraatmak baaten kahane vaale shaantidoot ban gae hain? President Nelson ne pichhale aam sammelan mein hamen nimnalikhit baaten sikhaeen: “agar kuch bhi gunee hai, sundar ya achchi report ya prashansaneey jo ham kisee anye vyakti ke baare mein kah saken—chaahe uske saamne ho ya uskee peeth ke piche—yahi haamre sanchaar ka maanak hona chahiye.”⁷

Ye saral lekin shaktishaali nirdesh hain. Yaad hain, Moses ke logon ko changa hone ke liye bas us peetal ke saap ko dekhna tha jise usne uthaaya tha.⁷ Lekin“kyonki raaste ki saralata, ya uski sugamata ke karan, bahut se log nasht ho gae.”⁸

Is sammelan ke dauraan hamne apne prophets aur devdut kee atal salaah sunee hai aur aage bhi sunenge. Yah vinamrata vikasit karne aur hamare majboot vichaaron ko aur bhI majboot vishvaas se nigalne ka ek aadarsh avasar hai ki Prabhu in chune hue netaon ke maadhyam se baat karte hain.

Sabse badhkar, vinamrata vikasit karne mein, hamen yah bhi samajhna aur sveekaar karna hoga ki ham keval apne prayaason se apni chunautiyon par kaabu paane ya apni puri kshamata haasil karne mein saksham nahin hain. Duniya bhar ke prerak vakta, lekhak, prashikshak aur prabhaavashaalee log, khaaskar digital platforms par, kahenge ki sab kuch puri tarah se ham par aur hamare kaaryon par nirbhar karta hai. Duniya maas kee baanh mein vishvaas karti hai.

Lekin punarsthaapit susamaachaar ke maadhyam se hamne seekha hai ki ham Swargiye Pita kee paropakaarita aur hamare Rakshak Ishu Masih ke praeshchit par bahut adhik nirbhar hain, “kyonki ham jaante hain ki anugrah ke dwara hee ham bachaaye gaye hain, aakhirakaar ham jo kar sakte hain.”⁹ Iseeliye Parmeshwar ke saath anubandh banaana aur nibhaana itna mahatvapoorn hai, kyonki aisa karne se hamen Ishu Masih ke praayashchit ke maadhyam se upachaar, saksham karne aur poorn karne kee shakti tak puri pahunch milegee.

Saaptaahik roop se sanskaar baithak mein bhaag lena aur adhyaadeshon mein bhaag lene aur anubandhon ko praapt karne aur naveeneekrt karne ke liye niyamit roop se mandir mein pooja karna ek sanket hai ki ham Swargiye Pita aur hamare Rakshak Ishu Masih par hamari nirbharta ko pahachaante hain. Yah unkee shakti ko hamare jeevan mein aamantrit karega taaki ve hamari sabhee samasyaon se nipatane mein hamari madad kar saken aur antatah hamari rachna ke paimaane ko pura kar saken.

Kuch samay pahale meree vinamrata ke star aur Prabhu par meri nirbharata kee samajh ka ek baar phir parikshan kiya gaya. Main ek taxi mein savaar hokar ek aisee jagah ke liye choti udaan pakadne ke liye havaee adde ja raha tha jaha ek bahut hee kathin paristhiti ka samaadhaan karna tha. Taxi driver ne, jo Girjaghar ka sadasye nahi tha, mujhe shishe se dekha aur kaha, “Main dekh sakta hoon ki aaj aapki tabiyat theek nahin hai!”

“Kya aap bata sakte ho?” Main ne pucha.

“Beshak,” Unhone kaha. Phir unhon ne kuchh aisa kaha, “vaastav mein aapake chaaron or ek bahut hee nakaaraatmak prabhaamandal hai!”

Jab usne mujhse poochha to main ne use samjhaya ki mujhe kaaphi kathin sthiti se nipatana hai, “Kya aapne ise hal karne ke liye apni shakti mein sab kuch kiya hai?”

Main ne jawab diya ki main ne vah sab kuch kiya hai jo main kar sakta tha.

Phir unhone kaha, “To ise Parmeshwar ke haathon mein chhod do, aur sab kuch theek ho jaega.”

Main sveekaar karta hoon ki main us se puchane ke liye pralobhit tha, “Kya tum janate ho ki tum kis se baat kar rahe hon?” Parantu mainne nahi ” Main ne jo kiya vah us ek ghante kee udaan ke dauraan Prabhu ke saamne praarthna mein vinamr hona tha, divye sahaayata maanthe hue. Jaise hee main ne havaee jahaaj choda, Mujhe pata chala ki hal kee jaane vaalee kathin paristhiti pahale se hee vyavasthit thee aur ab meri upasthiti bhee aavashyak nahin hogee.

Bhaiyon aur Bahanon, aagya,Prabhu ka nimantran aur vaada spasht aur aaraamadaayak hai “ Tum vinamr bano; aur tera Prabhu Prameshwar haath pakadakar teri aguvaee karega, aur apnee prarthanaon ka uttar do.”¹⁰

Ham apne profats kee salaah ka paalan karne ke liye vinamr banen aur sveekaar karen ki keval Parmeshwar aur Ishu Masih hee hamen badal sakte hain—Uske Girjaghar mein praapt adhyaadeshon aur anubandhon ke maadhyam se—is jeevan mein ham svayan ka sarvottam sanskaran bana sakte hain aur, ek din, hamen Masih mein purn bana sakte hain. Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
