Pratham Adhyakshta ka Sandesh, January 2010
Thodi der aur Rukh Jaao
Ek sahane ka paath jo Kirtland samay ka hai hamari aatma ko atal badhanti ke liye zaroori hai. Hamein har din Prabhu ke kareeb rehna zaroori hai agar hamein aane waale durbhaag ko jhelna hay jo hum sab ke liye hay.
Pichle garmi ke samay meri patni aur mainne hamare do pote ko Kirtland, Ohio le gai. Wah ek khaas aur keemti mauka tha hamare liye unke saath bitane ka unke prachaar kaarye par jaane se pehle.
Wahaan par ghumte samay, humne achi tarah se samjha ki kaisi paristhitiyon mein Bhavishyevakta Joseph Smith aur uske sant rehte the jo Kirtland mein the. Wah kaal jo Girjaghar ke itihaas ke samay ke bure ghatnao ki tarah jaana jaata hai woh param ashirvaad ka bhi samay hai.
Kirtland mein Prabhu ne bahut asadhaaran swarg ke wishvarup aur aatmic uphaar pradaan kiya jo is duniya ne anubhav kiya hai. Sixty-five (payesat) sections Dharamsiddhant aur Vaade ke Kirtland aur agal-bagal ke sthaan mein praapt hua tha—prakat hone ki kirya ne naie roshni aur bidiya kuch aese vishay jaise ki Dusre Aanewali, zaroorat logon ki dekh-bhaal karna,uddhaar ka yojna, purohiti adhikaar, Gayaan ke Shabd, tithing,mandir, aur pavitra ke parivitra ke liye dene ka niyam.1
Woh ek maatra ke dhaarmik badhanti ka samay tha. Waastav mein, Parmeshwar ki Aatma aag ki tarah jal rahi thi. Moses, Elijah, aur kai swarg ke duth is samay par waha par ikatta hue, saath mein Swarg ka Pita aur us ke Putra bhi, is dharti ko Muktidaata, Ishu Masiha.2
Kai mein se ek prakat hone ki kirya jo Joseph ko Kirtland me praapt hui thi prakat hone ki kirya jise usne “olive ki patti… Swarg Log ke Vriksh se toda gaya, aur Prabhu dwara hamare liye shaanti ka sandesh” (introduction to D&C 88). Yeh asaadaran prakat hone ki kirya dhaarmik nimantran sammilit karta hai,” Mere kareeb aao aur mai tumhare pass auga; karamtapurwak mujhe dhoondhna aur tumhe main milunga” (D&C 88:63). Jaise dhoondhna ke sant Prabhu ke kareeb badhe, Woh saach mein unke kareeb badha, swarg ke aashirwaad ko vishwaasiyo ke sar par haath rakh kar bata.Ek Dhaarmik Uthpaadan
Shayad prakashta ke aatmic vishwarup Kirtland Temple ke samarpan ke samay mein March 27, 1836 mein hua. Ek jo waha par 28-saal ka William Draper maujud tha, jisne us din ko “Pentecost din” ghoshit kiya. Usne likha: “Waha par aisa waqt tha jab Prabhu ki Aatma uthpadan hui, ki mujhe likhne ki koi shabd nahi yah batlana kiya hua. Magar main yahan par kehti hoon ki Aatma ka prabhaao uthpaadit hua aur shaktishali hui hawa chali aur ghar ko bhar diya, ki wahan par jitne log the vibhinn bhaashaaon mein baante karne lage aur unhein drishti mili aur devdut ko dekha aur bhavishyevaani ki, aur ek aam samay tha jayjaykaar karne ka jo is peedhi ne nahin jaana tha.”3
Yeh aatmic vishwarupon sirf un logon ke pass nahin the jo mandir ke andar the, kyunki “pados ke log saath mein daudte hue aye (andar ki aasadhaaran awaaz suni,aur dekha ki tez roshni aag ki gole ki tarah mandir par ruka), aur chakit rah gaye ki kya ho raha tha.”4
Lorenzo Snow (1814–1901), aage chal kar Girjaghar ka Pradhaan, Kirtland me rah raha tha is aashish bhare ke samay. Usne dekha, “Ek ne socha hoga ki in aascharyejanak vishwarupon ko praapt karne ke baad koi laalach Santon ko paraajit nahin kar payegi.”5
Magar, vaastav mein, mahaan dhaarmik anubhavein hamein virodh ya sankat se mukt nahin karti. Mandir ke samarpan ke kuch mahine baad, United States me dur tak arthik sakat ne jhanjhor diya, aur Kirtland ne iska zyaada prakop mehsoos kiya. Bank ka ghata hua, bahoton ko katin vitt stithiyon mein daal diya gaya. Vishay ko kathin banane ke liye, bahut sare Santon jo Kirtland ko aaprawaas (immigration) ho rahe the bahut kam samaan ke saath aaye,pata nahi unhe waha kiya karege jab woh waha pahuchenge ya kaise woh jivit rahege.
Bahut der nahin hui thi,jab atyachaar badi aur uttejit bhid Santo ke khilaf utpan hui. Girjaghar ke Sadasyo—jo un me se kuch Bhavishyevakta ke karibi hai, jo un me se mandir ke samarpan me maujud the—siddhaant ko chod diya aur Joseph ko ek prajit bhavishyevakta ki tarah ninda kiya.
Jab main apni patni aur pote ke saath Kirtland Mandir ke kareeb gaya, main ne yah socha ki yah kitni dukhant hai jab kuch log vishwaasi nahi rah sakte jabki unho ne aatmik vishwarupon ki gawahi diya tha. Kitna dukhit tha ki weh khilli udaane waalon aur avishwaasiyo ki alochna ant tak jhel nahin sakein. Kitna dukhi tha, jab vitt musibat ka saamna kiya ya anay sangharshon ka, weh apne aap me dhoondh na sakein aur shaakti prapt kiya vishwaasi rahene ke liye. Kitna abhaaga tha ki weh chamatkari dhaarmik parinaam jo mandir ke samarpan ke samay tha ko bhul gaye.
Shiksha
Hum Girjaghar ke itihaas se asadhaaran kaal ke baare me kiya sikh sakte hai?
Ek mahaan, Kirtland samay ki kabhi na khatam hone wali shiksha hai hamari aatmao ko atal poshan karna chahiye. Jaise Pradhaan Harold B. Lee (1899–1973) sikhaya: “Gawahi aisi cheez nai jo aaj tumhare paas hai aur tum use hamesha rakh sakoge. Gawahi chahe badhegi aur shaakti nisandhaye badhegi, yah kam hote huye khatam ho jaegi, us par nirbhar hay ki uske baare mein hum kya karte hai. Main kaheta hu, jo gawahi hum roz dhoharate hai wah cheez hume virodhi to spell as: virodhi ke chungal se bachati hai.”6 Hume roz Prabhu ke shikshon ko nibhana chahiye agar hum dorbhagye se jeevit rahana chahate hai jo hame zaroor saamna karna padega.
Kuch tareko se humari aaj ki duniya bhi Kirtland jo 1830s ki tarah hai. Hum bhi vitt kadhinai mein rahate hai. Wahaan kuch aise log hai jo kathorta se nipatte hai aur jo Girjaghar aur uske sadasyon ke baare mein ghor ninda karte hai. Vyaktigat aur samuhik parishan kabhi kabhi hume attiadhik bhari lage.
Wah samay jab humme zaroorat padti hai, pahale se zyaada, Prabhu ke kareeb jaane ke liye. Jab hum aesa karege, tab hume pata chalega ki hum kaise Prabhu ke kareeb ah sakte hai. Jab hum use zyaada karamdtapurwak talaashte hai, tab hum use zaroor paa sakege. Hum spashtta se dekh sakenge ki Prabhu Apne Girjaghar ya Apne vishwaasi Santon ko tyaagta nahin. Humari samajhne ki chamta puri hogi, aur hum Use swarg ki khidkiya kholte hue dekhege aur hume aur ziyaada roshni dega. Hume aatimic shaakti mil sakti hai jine ke liye bahot bade kadhnai ke samay.
Yadhapi Kirtland ke kuch Santon ne aatmic anubhav ko bhula diya, adhiktam ne nahi. Bahusankhiya, William Draper ko lekar, Parmeshwar ne aatmic shaakti ko unhe diya jise pakde rakha aur Bhavisyevakta ke piche chalna jaari rakhna. Raaste mein unhonne aur bhi zyaada kathinaaiyaan anubhav kiya magar zyaada mithi aatmik badhanti bhi, ant mein, agar woh ant-tak sachche rahe “unhein praapt kiya gaya … jisse ki woh sach ki stithi mein rahe” (Mosiah 2:41).
Tum Samarthan Paa Sakte Ho
Agar tum kabhi behkawe mein aate ho ya vishwaas khone lagta hai, un sachche Santo ko yaad karo jo Kirtland me sachche bane rahe. Thodi der aur taharo. Tum kar sakte ho! Tum is khaas peedi ke hissa ho. Is avashyak samaye mein sundar graha dharti ke asitav par jeevit rahane ke liye tumhe tayyaar aur surakhshit kiya gaya hai. Tum hare pass divye vanshawali aur isliye apne zindigi ko anant safalta kahani banane ke liye sare nipunta hona zaroori hai.
Prabhu ne tumhe sachche gawahi ke liye ashirvaad diya. Tumne uske prabhav ko mehsoos kiya aur Uske shaakti ki gawahi di. Aur agar tum uski talashme chalte rahate ho, woh tumhe pavitra anubhv dete chalte rahege. Is ke saath aur anay aatmik uphaar, nato tum apni zindigi ko sirf achchai ke liye badal sakte ho balki apne gharon ko aashish de sakte ho, wards ya shaakhaao, biradriyo, shaharo, desho, aur jaati ke saath tumhare achchai se.
Kabhi, kabhi dhekne mein kadra hote hain,magar thori dher aur rukh jaao, kyunki “aankh ne dekhi nahin, kaan ne suna nahin, na to manushye ke hriday mein daakhil hua hai, woh cheez jo Parmeshwar ne tayyaar kiya hai unke liye jo Unse prem karte hai” aur Unka intazaar karte hai (1 Corinthians 2:9; aur dekhiye D&C 76:10; 133:45).
Main punahsthaapit Ishu Masiha ke Susamachaar ko bayaan karta hoon aur is sachchai ko, Uska Girjaghar. Main apne dil se gawahi deta hu aur aatma jisme Parmeshwar rahata hai, ki Ishu Masiha uska putra hai aur apne bade Girjaghar ka mukhya hai ke saab se upar khade hokar. Phir hamare pass Bhavishyevekta is dharti par hai, Pradhaan Thomas S. Monson samaan.
Hum Kirtland ke is sabak ko samaanye se yaad karege aur thodi der aur taharo—jab cheeze rukha aur dhundla sa dikhe. Jaano aur yah yaad karo: Prabhu tumse pyaar karta hai. Woh tumhe yaad karta hai. Aur woh sade bane rahene wale logon ko “ant-tak vishwaas mein tike rakhega” (D&C 20:25).
