Masih mein Bhaaiyon aur Bhanon

Mere pyaare doston, aaj hamaare sammelan satr adbhut raha hain. Ham sabhi ne apne leadaron dvaara saajha kiye gae adbhut sandeshon ke maadhyam se Prabhu kee Aatma aur Unke prem ko mehsoos kiya hai. Aaj shaam is satr ke samaapan vakta ke roop mein aapko sambodhit karte hue mujhe saubhaagy mehsoos ho raha hai. Main praarthna karta hoon ki Prabhu ki Aatma hamaare saath banee rahe kyonki ham Masih mein sachche bhaiyon aur bahanon ke roop mein ek saath aanand manaate hain.

Hamare pyare prophet, Russell M. Nelson, ne kaha hain: “Main har jagah apne sadasyon se ek-tarfa soch ke drshtikon aur kaaryon ko tyaagne ka aahvaan karta hoon. Main aapse Parmeshwar kee sabhee bachchon ke prati sammaan ko badhaava dene ka anurodh karta hoon.”¹ Ek vaishvik aur nirantar badhte Girjaghar ke roop mein, hamaare profat ke is nimantran ka paalan karna duniya ke har desh mein Rakshak ke raajy ke nirmaan ke liye ek mahatvapoorn shart hai.

Ishu Masih ka susamaachaar sikhaata hai ki ham sabhee svargeey maata-pita ke putr aur putriyaan hain jo vaastav mein hamse pyaar karte hain² aur ham is dhartee par paida hone se pahale Parmeshwar kee upasthiti mein ek parivaar ke roop mein rahate the. Susamaachaar yah bhi sikhaata hai ki ham sabhee Parmeshwar kee chavi aur samaanta mein banae gae the.³ Isliye, ham uske saamne samaan hain,⁴ kyonki Usne “purushon [aur striyon] ki sab jaatiyon ko ek hee khoon se banaaya hai.”⁵ Isliye, ham sabhi mein divy prakrti, viraasat aur kshamata hai, kyonki “sabhee ka ek Parmeshwar aur Pita hai, jo sabse upar hai, aur sabhi ke maadhyam se, aur [ham] sabhi mein hai.”⁶

Ishu ke chele hone ke naate, hamen apne matbhedon ki parvaah kiye bina apne dilon ko ekata aur prem mein ek saath jodkar apne aadhyaatmik bhaee-aur bahan ke prati apna vishvaas aur pyaar badhaane ke liye aamantrit kiya jaata hai.⁷

Kya yah vahee sthiti nahin thee jiska anubhav Nephi ke logon ne Masih dvaara unkee seva karne ke baad lagbhag do shataabdiyon tak kiya tha?

“Aur nishchit roop se Parmeshwar ke haath se banae gae sabhee logon mein se koee bhee adhik khushhaal vyakti nahin ho sakta hai. …

“Waha Lamanites bhi nahin the, na hee kisi tarah ka -ites; lekin ve ek mein the, Masih ke bhachche, aur Parmeshwar ke raajye ke vaaris.

“Aur ve kitne dhanye the!”⁸

President Nelson ne kaha to unhon ne apne saathee praaniyon ke liye garima aur sammaan failne ke mahatv par bhee jor diya: “Ham sabhee ka nirmaata ham men se pratyek ko Parmeshwar ke bachchon ke kisi bhi samooh ke prati ek tarfa soch ke drshtikon ko tyaagne ke liye kahta hai. Ham men se jis kisee ke man mein doosree jaati ke prati ek tarfa soch hai, use pashchaataap karne kee zaroorat hai! … Yah ham men se pratyek ka kartavy hai ki ham Parmeshwar ke pratyek bete aur betee kee garima aur sammaan ko banae rakhne ke liye apne prabhaav kshetr mein jo kuchh bhee kar sakte hain vah karen.”⁹ Vaastav mein, maanaveey garima mein hamaare matbhedon ka sammaan shaamil hai.¹⁰

Us pavitr bandhan par vichaar karna jo hamen Parmeshwar ke saath Uskee bachcho ke roop mein jodta hai, President Nelson dvaara diya gaya yah bhavishyasoochak nirdesh nissandeh hamaare beech ek tarfa soch aur alagaav kee deevaaren paida karne ke bajaay samajh ke pul banaane kee disha mein ek maulik kadam hai.¹¹ Haalaanki, Paul ne hamen aagah kiya Ephesians mein, is uddeshy ko praapt karne ke liye hamen ise pehchaanna hoga, ek doosre ke prati deenta, namrata aur sahan-sheelta ke saath vyavahaar karne ke liye vyaktigat aur saamoohik prayaas karne kee aavashyakta hogee.¹²

Ek Jewish rabbi kee kahaanee hai jo doh doston ke saath sooryoday ka aanand le raha tha. Usne un se poochha, “Tumhen kaise pata chalega ki kab raat khatm ho gaee hai aur ek naya din shuroo ho gaya hai?”

Un mein se ek ne javaab diya, “Jab aap poorv kee or dekh sakte hain aur bhed ko bakree se alag kar sakte hain.”

Doosre ne ohir javaab diya, “Jab aap kshitij mein dekh sakte hain aur jaitoon(olive) ke ped ko anjeer ke ped se alag kar sakte hain.”

Phir ve buddhimaan rabbi ke paas gae aur us se bhee vahee prashn poochha. Lambe sochne ke baad, usne javaab diya, “Jab aap poorv kee or dekh sakte hain aur kisee mahila ka chehara ya kisee purush ka chehara dekh sakte hain aur kah sakte hain, ‘Vah meri bahan hain; vah mera bhai hain.’”¹³

Mere pyare doston, main aapko aashvast kar sakta hoon ki ek nae din kee roshnee hamaare jeevan mein aur adhik chamaktee hai jab ham apne saathee praaniyon ko sammaan aur sammaan ke saath aur Masih mein sachche bhaiyon aur bahanon ke roop mein dekhte hain aur unke saath vyavahaar karte hain.

Unke saansaarik mantraalay ke dauraan, Ishu ne is siddhaant ka bahut hee uttam udaaharan prastut kiya “achchha karne chala gaya”¹⁴ sabhee logon ke liye, Unhen apne paas aane aur Unkee achchhaee ka hissa banane ke liye aamantrit karna, chaahe unkee utpatti, saamaajik varg ya saanskrtik visheshataen kuchh bhee hon. Unhon ne seva kee, upchaar kiya aur hamesha har kisee kee zarooraton par dhyaan diya, khaaskar un logon kee jinhen us samay alag, tuchchh ya bahishkrt maana jaata tha. Unhon ne kisee ko bhee sveekar nahin kiya balki Unke saath samaanta aur prem se vyavahaar kiya, kyonki Usne unhen apne bhaiyon aur bahanon, ek hee Pita ke bete aur betiyon ke roop mein dekha.¹⁵

Sabse ullekhaneey avsaron mein se ek vah tha jab Rakshak ne Galilee kee yaatra kee thee, jaan-boojhkar vah maarg lena jo Samaria se hokar jaata tha.¹⁶ Tab Ishu ne aaraam karne ke liye Jacob ke kuen ke paas baithne ka nishchay kiya. Waha ek Samaritan stree apna ghada paanee bharne ke liye uske paas aaee. Unkee sarvagyata mein, Ishu ne use sambodhit kiya, bolte hue, “Mujhe peene ko do.”¹⁷

Yah mahila aashcharyachakit thee ki ek jew ne ek Samaritan mahila se sahaayata maangee thee aur aashchary vyakt karte hue kaha, “Yeh kaise ho sakta hai, ek Jew hone ke bavajood, mujhse maangkar pine ke liye kaha, jo Samaria kee stree hoon? kyonki Jews ka Samaritans se koee len-den nahin hai.”¹⁸

Lekin Ishu, Samaritans aur Jews ke beech dushmanee kee lambe samay se chalee aa rahee paramparaon ko chhodkar, is mahila kee pray se seva kee, Use madad karte hue samjhaaya kee vah kaun hain—vah hain, Masiha, jo saaree baaten bataega aur vah kiske aane ka intazaar kar rahee thee.¹⁹ Is halke mantraalay ke prabhaav ke kaaran mahila ko shahar mein bhaagkar logon ko yah bataana pada ki kya hua tha, bolte hue, “Kya yah Masih nahi hain?”²⁰

Mujhe un logon par gaharee daya aatee hai jinke saath asanvedanasheel aur vichaaraheen logon ne durvyavahaar kiya hai, unka apmaan kiya hai ya unhen sataaya hai, kyonki, mere jeevan ke dauraan, main ne pratyaksh roop se us dard ko dekha hai jo achchhe logon ko isliye aanka jaata hai ya barkhaast kar diya jaata hai kyonki ve alag tarah se bolte, dikhate ya rahate hain. Main un logon ke liye bhee apne dil mein vaastavik duhkh mahasoos karta hoon jinka dimaag andhera rahata hai, jinkee drshti seemit hotee hai, aur jinke dil apne se alag logon kee heenata mein vishvaas se kathor khaa jaate hain. Doosron ke prati unka seemit drshtikon vaastav mein yah dekhne kee unkee kshamata mein baadha daalata hai ki ve Parmeshwar kee santaanon ke roop mein kaun hain.

Jaise prophets ne bataaya hain, ham Rakshak ke Dusre Aagman se pahale ke khataranaak dinon mein jee rahe hain.²¹ Aam taur par duniya nasleey, raajneetik aur saamaajik-aarthik aadhaar par majboot vibhaajanon se dhruveekrt hai. Is tarah ke vibhaajan kabhee-kabhee logon ke sochne ke tareeke aur unke anye logon se sambandh mein kaary karne ke tareeke ko prabhaavit karte hain. Is kaaran se, logon ko any sanskrtiyon, naslon aur jaateeyataon ke baare mein sochne, kaary karne aur bolne ke tareeke ko nimnatar bataate hue, poorvakalpit, galat aur ka upayog karte hue dekhna asaamaany nahin hai aur aksar vyangyaatmak vichaar, unke prati avamaanana, udaaseenata, anaadar aur yahaan tak ki ek tarfa soch ka drshtikon utpann karte hain. Is tarah ke vyavahaar kee jaden ahankaar, ahankaar, eershya aur eershya mein hotee hain, jo ki shaareerik prakrti ke lakshan hain,²² jo pooree tarah se Masih jaise gunon ke vipareet hain. Yah aacharan un logon ke liye anuchit hai jo unke sachche shishy banane ka prayaas kar rahe hain.²³ Sach mein, mere pyaare bhaaiyo aur bahano samaaj mein ek-tarfa soch aur kaaryon ke liye koee sthaan nahin hai.

Vachanon ke bate aur betiya hone ke naate, ham apne beech maujood spasht matbhedon ko Rakshak kee nazar se dekhkar is prakaar ke vyavahaar ko khatm karne mein madad kar sakte hain²⁴ aur hamaare beech jo kuchh samaan hai uske aadhaar par—hamaaree divy pahachaan aur rishtedaaree. Iske alaava, ham apne padosee ke sapnon, aashaon, dukhon aur peedaon mein khud ko pratibimbit dekhne ka prayaas kar sakte hain. Parmeshwar kee santaan ke roop mein ham sabhee sahayaatree hain, apnee apoorn avastha aur vikaas karne kee kshamata mein samaan hain. Hamen Parmeshwar aur sabhee manushyon ke prati prem se bhare hrdayon ke saath, shaantipoorvak ek saath chalne ke liye aamantrit kiya jaata hai—ya, jaise Abraham Lincoln ke likha hain, “kisee ke prati dvesh nahin, sabhee ke prati dayaluta ke saath.”²⁵

Kya aapne kabhee is baat par vichaar kiya hai ki Prabhu ke ghar mein hamaare pahanaave ke saadhaaran tareeke se maanaveey garima aur samaanata ke sammaan ka siddhaant kaise pradarshit hota hai? Ham sabhee ek uddeshy se ekjut hokar aur Unkee pavitr upasthiti mein shuddh aur pavitr hone kee ichchha se bhare hue mandir mein aate hain. Safed vastr pahane hue, ham sabhee ko svayan Prabhu ne Apne priy bachchon, Parmeshwar ke purush aur mahilaon, Masih kee santaan ke roop mein praapt kiya hai.²⁶ Hamen samaan adhyaadeshon ka paalan karne, samaan anubandh banaane, uchch aur pavitr jeevan jeene ke liye khud ko pratibaddh karne aur samaan shaashvat vaade praapt karne ka visheshaadhikaar praapt hai. Uddeshy mein ekjut hokar, ham ek-doosre ko naee aankhon se dekhte hain, aur apnee ekta mein, ham Parmeshwar ke divy bachchon ke roop mein apne matbhedon ka jashn manaate hain.

Main ne haal hee mein Brasilia Brazil Mandir ke khule ghar ke maadhyam se ganmaany(dignitaries) vyaktiyon aur sarkaaree adhikaariyon ka maargadarshan karne mein madad kee. Main Brazil ke upraashtrapati ke saath kapde badalne ke kshetr mein ruka aur hamne un safed kapdon par charcha kee jo har koee mandir ke andar pahanata hai. Main ne use samajhaaya ki safed kapdon ka yah saarvabhaumik upayog is baat ka prateek hai ki ham sabhee Parmeshwar aur mandir mein ek samaan hain, hamaaree pehchaan kisee desh ke upraashtrapati ya charch neta ke roop mein nahin balki ek pyaare Swargiye Pita ke putron ke roop mein hamaaree shaashvat pahachaan hai.

Tasveer

Iguaçú Jharna(Falls).

Iguaçú Nadee dakshinee Brazil se hokar bahatee hai aur ek pathaar mein girtee hai jo jharnon kee ek pranaalee banaatee hai jise duniya bhar mein Iguaçú Falls ke naam se jaana jaata hai—prthvee par Parmeshwar kee sabse sundar aur prabhaavashaalee rachanaon mein se ek, jise duniya ke saat aashcharyon mein se ek maana jaata hai. Paanee kee ek vishaal maatra ek hee nadee mein bahatee hai aur phir alag ho jaatee hai, jis se saikadon adviteey jharne te hain. Roopakaatmak roop se bolna, jharnon kee yah abhootapoorv pranaalee prthvee par Parmeshwar ke parivaar ka pratibimb hai, kyonki ham ek hee aadhyaatmik mool aur tatv ko saajha karte hain, jo hamaaree divy viraasat aur rishtedaaree se praapt hua hai. Haalaanki, ham mein se pratyek alag-alag sanskrtiyon, jaatiyon aur raashtreeyataon mein, alag-alag raay, anubhav aur bhaavnaon ke saath bahata hai. Iske bavajood, ham Parmeshwar kee santaan aur Masih mein bhai-bahan ke roop mein aage badhte hain, apne divy sambandh ko khoe bina, jo hamen ek adviteey log aur ek priy samudaay banaata hai.²⁷

Mere pyaare bhaaiyo aur bahano, kya ham apne dil aur dimaag ko is gyaan aur gawahi ke saath sanrekhit kar sakte hain ki Parmeshwar ke samaksh ham sabhee samaan hain, ki ham sabhee ek hee shaashvat kshamata aur viraasat se pooree tarah sampann hain. Ham apne beech maujood aadhyaatmik rishtedaaree ka adhik aanand utha saken aur ham sabhee ke vibhinn gunon aur vividh upahaaron ko mahatv de saken. Agar ham karenge, Main aapse vaada karta hoon ki ham apne tareeke se bahenge, jaisa ki Iguaçú Jharne ka paanee hai, hamare divy sambandh ko khoe bina jo hamen ek vishisht logon ke roop mein pahachaan deta hai, “Masih ke bachche, aur Parmeshwar ke raajy ke uttaraadhikaaree.”²⁸

Main aapko gawahi deta hoon ki jaise ham apne nashvar jeevan ke dauraan isee tarah bahate rahate hain, ek naya din ek naee roshnee ke saath shuroo hoga jo hamaare jeevan ko roshan karega aur adhik mooly dene ke adbhut avsaron ko roshan karega, aur Parmeshwar dvaara apne bachchon ke beech banaee gaee vividhata se pooree tarah se dhany ho jaen.²⁹ Ham nishchit roop se Unke sabhee putron aur putriyon ke beech sammaan aur garima ko badhaava dene ke liye Unke haathon mein saadhan banenge. Parmeshwar jiwit hai. Ishu is duniya ka Rakshak hain. President Nelson Parmeshwar ke profat hai in dinon nein. Main in sachchaaiyon ka gawahi Ishu Masih ke pavitra naam se deta hoon, amen.
