Pratham Adhyakshta ka Sandesh, July 2013
Aaj Duniya ko Aguwaaon ki Zaroorat hai
Kaiyon ke liye, 1847 ka aguwaaon ka chalna Nauvoo, Kirtland, Dur Pakshim Missouri, ya New York mein nahi shuru hua tha balki dur England, Scotland, Scandinavia, ya Germany mein hua tha. Chote bachchein sahi taur se us mahaan vishwaas ko nahi jaante the jo unke maata-pitaon ko apne parivaar, mitron, daya, aur surakcha ko chodne ke liye prerit kar raha tha.
Ek chota bachcha shaayad puchega, “Maa, hum ghar kyun chodh rahe hai? Hum kaha ja rahe hai?”
“Mere saath aao, anmol ratan; hum Zion ja rahein hai, hamare Parmeshwar ka shahar.”
Ghar ke suraksha aur Zion ke vaade ke beech mahaan Atlantic ki ashaant aur khatarnaak lehrein khadi hui thi. Kaun dobara logon ko us dil ke dar ko yaad dila sakti hai us khatarnaak yaatra ke daoraan? Aatma ke dhimi awaaz se prerit hua, sadhaaran par ant tak ke vishwaas se bana, weh aguwa Santon ne Parmeshwar mei vishwaas kiya aur apne yaatra par nikal gaye.
Woh ant mein Nauvoo pahunch gaye ek baar phir yatra mein musibaton ko jhelte hue. Hoshiyaari ki chinha aur patthar se Nauvoo se Salt Lake Shahar tak ki kabron ko dikhlaya gaya hai. Yah kuch kimat hai jo kuch aguwaaon ne bhari hai. Unko dafan kiya gaya hai magar, unke naam sabhi ki zubaan par hai.
Bandhe hue bael dhire se chalne lage, taange ke pahiye nache, bahadur aadmi badhe, ladaai shuru hui, aur jangali kutte rone lage. Magar vishwaasi-aur musibaton se bhare aguwaaen aage badhte rahe. Kai baar weh gaaye:
Come, come, ye Saints, no toil nor labor fear;
But with joy wend your way.
Though hard to you this journey may appear,
Grace shall be as your day. …
All is well! All is well! 1
In aguwaaon ne Prabhu ke vaani ko yaad kiya: “Mere log sabhi cheezon ko jaaane, taaki weh taeyaar rahe us mahima ke liye jo Usne unke liye taeyaar kiya hai, Zion ki mahima ke liye bhi.”2
Samay hamare yaadon ko kam kar deta hai aur un logon ke musibat ke raaste par ho kar chalta hai ke badhanti ko kam kar deta hai, aansoo se bhare anjaan kabron ko piche chodh deta hai. Magar aaj ke chunaoti ka kya hua? Kya koi patthrila raasta nahi hai safar karne ko, koi badhi pahaad nahi hai chadhne ko, gaddhe nahi hai paar karne ko, koi bhi raasta nahi hai banane ko, koi bhi nadi nahi hai paar karne ko? Ya sahi mein us aguwa ke aatma ki zaroorat hai hume us khatre se maargdarshan dene ke liye jo hamare ird-gird hota hai aur hume surakshit Zion tak pahunchane ke liye?
Saalon pehle World War II ke khatam hone ke baad, neatikta ke sttar girte hi ja rahe hai. Jurum badhti hi jarahi hai; logon ka bartaao ek dosre ki or gir rahi hai. Kai kam ya zyaada musibatein hai jiwan mein, anant ke khushiyon ke balidaan ke samay ko dhoondhate hue. Is prakaar hum shaanti kho dete hai.
Hum bhool jaatey hai ki kis tarah Greek aur Romans is buri duniya mein badhe hi achi tarah se fael gaye the aur kaise woh jeet khatam hua tha—kis tarah aalas aur kamzooriyaan unhein naash kar diye the. Ant mein, azaadi se ziyaada weh, surakhcha aur ek khushi ka jiwan chahate the; aur weh sabhi kuch—daya aur suraksha aur azaadi ko kho chuke the.
Shaitaan ki buraaiyon se bacho; balki, sachchaai mein khade raho. Aatma ki nakhatam hone waali chaahat khushi ke liye kabhi bhi puri nahi hogi ehsaas aur paap ke khushi se. Paap kabhi sadgun ki or nahi le jaata. Nafrat kabhi pyaar nahi deta. Kaayarta kabhi himmat nahi deta. Shak kabhi vishwaas nahi prerit karta.
Kuch log paagal logon ke taanon aur bure nasihaton ko jhel nahi paate jo Parmeshwar ke aagyaaon ke or suddh, sachche, aur aagyaakaari hote hai. Magar duniya dharamsiddhaant ko kam ahemiyat deti hai. Jab Noah ko jahaaz banane ke liye aagya mili thi, murkh log saaf baadal ki or dekh kar aur haase aur taane maare—jab tak ki baarish nahi hui.
Zaroor hume yeh keemti shiksha ko baar baar shikna chahiye? Samay badalta hai, magar sachchaai nahi. Jab hum beete hue anubhao se faaeda nahi uthaate hai, hum unhe dobara dohra sakte hai unke sir ka peeda, jhelne, aur dukh ke saath. Kya hamare paas Use nibhaane ke liye gyaan nahi hai jo hamare Prabhu—ko shuruwaat se anth tak jaanta hai, jisne mukti ki yojna ko banaya hai—naaki us shaaetaan ne, jisne uske sundarta ko nahi pyaar kiya hai?
Ek dictionary mein aguwa ko “ek jo pehle jaata hai taeyaari karne ke liye ya dusron ke liye raasta banane ke liye” ko kahatey hai.3 Kya hum kisi bhi tarah pehle ke peedi ke aguwaaon ke himmat aur vishwaas se apne jiwan ko prerit kar saktey hai? Kya tum aur main, sahi mein, aguwa bann saktey hai?
Main jaanta hoon ki hum ban saktey hai. Are, kis tarah duniya ko aguwaaon ki zaroorat hai!

Is Sandesh Mein se Shikshan
Dharamsiddhaant yeh batlate hai ki gharelu shikshakon ko “chetaoni, badhaana, salaah dene, aur sikhlaane, aur sabhi ko Masih ke paas aane ko amantrit karna chahiye” (D&C 20:59). Pradhaan Monson ke sandesh mein se chetaaoniyon aur nimantranon ko unhe batlaao jinhe tum bhent karoge. Tum unke saath un tarikon ko baantna chahoge jo sahi udhaaranon ko dikhlaata aur karta hai, beimaaniyon se bacho, aur dosron ki galtiyon se sikho. Un se pucho jinhe tum shikshan dete ho ki weh aaj kis tarah aguwa ban sakte hai.
