Duniya par Kaaboo Paen aur Aaraam Paen

Mere pyaare bhaaiyo aur bahanon, hum abhaari hai aaj is vishwabhar ke Sabbath sabha me aapke saath ke liye. Aap lagaataar mere dimaag me hain. Jab bhi aap dusron ko zaroorat me dekhate hain to aap jis tarah se harakat me aate hain, mujhe aashchary hota hai. Aap baar-baar jis vishwaas aur gawahika pradarshan karte hain, us par main chakit rah jaata hoon. Main aapke dil ke dard, niraasha aur chintaon par rota hoon. Main aapse pyaar karti hu. Main aapko vishwaas dilaata hoon ki hamare Swargiye Pita aur Unke Priye Putr, Ishu Masih, aapse prem karte hain. Weh aapki paristhitiyon, aapki bhalai, aapki zarooraton aur madad ke liye aapki prathanaon se achchhi tarah vaakiph hain. Baar-baar, main aapse prathana karta hoon ki aap Unke pyaar ko mehsoos karen.

Unke pyaar ka anubhav karna mahatvapoorn hai, kyunki aisa lagta hai ki ham pratidin gambheer samachaaron ke hamale se prabhaavit hote hain. Aapke paas aise din ho sakte hain jab aap chahate the ki aap apna pajaama pahan saken, ek gend me karl kar saken, aur uthal-puthal khatm hone par kisi ko jagaane ke liye kahen.

Lekin, mere pyaare bhaiyon aur bahanon, aage bahut see adbhut cheejen hain. Aane vaale dinon me, ham Rakshak ki shakti ka sabse mahan praktikaran dekhenge jo duniya ne kabhi dekha hain. Ab aur samay ke beech Woh “shakti aur badi mahima ke saath lautenga,”¹ Woh vishwaasiyon ko anaginat visheshaadhikaar, aashirvaad aur chamatkaar pradaan karega.

Phir bhi, ham vartamaan me us samay me rah rahe hain jo nishchit roop se duniya ke itihaas me sabse jatil samay hain. Jatilataen aur chunautiyaan bahut se logon ko abhibhoot aur thaka hua mehsoos karti hain. Haalaanki, haal ke ek anubhav par vichaar karen jo is baat par prakaash daal sakta hai ki aap aur main kaise aaraam pa sakte hain.

Washington D.C Mandir ke haaliya opan haus ke dauraan, opan haus kametee ke ek sadasye ne mandir ke maadhyam se kai pramukh patrakaaron ko anurakshan karte hue ek vyaavahaarik aadaan-pradaan dekha. Is meediya tour se kisi tarah ek yuva parivaar jud gaya. Ek riportar mandir ke sanrakshak ki “yaatra” ke baare me poochhata raha jab woh mandir se guzar raha tha. Woh jaanana chahate the ki kya mandir ki yaatra kisi vyakti ke jiwan ki yaatra me aane waali chunautiyon ka prateek hain.

Baatcheet par parivaar ka ek jawan ladka utha. Jab tour samooh ne ek endowment room me pravesh kiya, to ladke ne altar ki or ishaara kiya, jahaan log Parmeshwar ke saath anubandh karne ke liye ghutne tekate hain, aur kaha, “Oh, yah achcha hai. Yahan logon ke liye mandir ki yaatra ke dauraan aaram karne ka sthaan hai.”

Mujhe sandeh hai ki ladka jaanta tha ki uska avalokan kitna gehra tha. Unhen mandir mein Parmeshwar ke saath vaachan banaane aur Rakshak ke aashcharyejanak vaade ke beech seedhe sambandh ke baare me koi jaankaari nahin thee:

“He sab parishram karne waale aur bojh se dabe huwe logon, mere paas aao, main tumhe aaram dunga.

“Hamar juaatha aapan uppar uthaao, aur ham se seekho, kaahe ke ham naram dil ke aur deen hai, aur tumme aaram mili.

“Kaahe ki hamaar juaatha(yoke) dhowe me sahaj hai, aur bojha bhi halluk hai.”²

maha sammelan mein bheed

Priye bhaiyon aur bahanon, main un logon ke liye shok karta hoon jo Girjaghar ko chhod dete hain kyunki unhen lagta hai ki sadasyata ke liye unhen bahut adhik aavashyakta hai. Unhen abhi tak pata nahin chala hai ki anubandh banaana aur paalan karna vaastav me jiwan ko aasaan banaata hai! Har ek vyakti jo baptisma phont aur mandiron me anubandh banaata hai—aur unhen rakhta hai—Ishu Masih ki shakti tak pahunch me vrddhi hui hai. Krpaya us aashcharyajanak sachch par vichaar karen!

Parmeshwar ke saath anubandhon ko nibhaane ka pratiphal swargiye shakti hai—vah shakti jo hamen apne parikshanon, pralobhanon, aur dil ke dard ko behtar dhang se jhelne ke liye mazboot karti hai. Yeh shakti hamara maarg aasaan kar deti hai. Jo log Ishu Masih ke uchch niyamon ko jeete hain Unki uchch shakti tak pahunch hai. Is prakaar, vaachan rakhne vaale ek vishesh prakaar ke aaraam ke hakadaar hain jo unhen Parmeshwar ke saath unke vaachaee sambandh ke maadhyam se milata hai.

Isse pahale ki Rakshak ne khud ko Gethsemane aur Calvary ki peeda ke saamne prastut kiya, Usne Apane Apostal ko ghoshna ki. “Sansaar me tumhen takleefe milti hai: parantu dheeraj baandho; maine sansaar ko jeet liya hai.”³ Iske baad, Ishu ne ham me se pratyek se aisa hee karne ka anurodh kiya jab Usne kaha, “Main chahata hoon ki tum sansaar ko jeet lo.”⁴

Priye bhaiyon aur bahanon, aaj aapke liye mera sandesh yah hai ki kyunki Ishu Masih ne is patit duniya par vijay praapt ki hai, aur kyunki unhonne ham me se pratyek ke liye praeshchit kiya hai, aap bhi is paap-santrpt, aatm-kendrit, aur aksar thaka dene waale sansaar par vijay praapt kar sakte hain.

Kyunki Rakshak ne, apne anant Praeshchit ke dwara, ham me se pratyek ko kamzori, galatiyon, aur paap se chhudaaya, aur kyunki Usne har us dard, chinta, aur bojh ka anubhav kiya jo aapke paas tha,⁵ to jab aap vaastav mein pashchaataap karte hain aur Uski madad maangte hain, to aap kar sakte hain is vartamaan anishchit duniya se oopar utho.

Aap ahankaar, ghamand, krodh, anaitikata, ghrna, laalach, eershya aur bhay sahit duniya ki aadhyaatmik aur bhaavanaatmak roop se thaka dene wali vipattiyon par vijay praapt kar sakte hain. Hamare chaaron or ghoomane vaale vikarshanon aur vikrtiyon ke bauvjood, aap apni sabse adhik pareshaan karne wali samasyaon ke beech bhi sachcha aaraam—arthaat raahat aur shaanti—pa sakte hain.

Yeh mahatvapoorn sachch teen moolabhoot prashnon ko sanket deta hai:

Pehla, sansaar par jay paane ka kya arth hai?

Dusri, hum kis tarah karte hain?

Aur teesra, kaise sansaar par vijay praapt karna hamare jiwaanon ko aashishit karta hai?

Duniya par kaboo par vijay paane ka kya arth hai? Iska arth hai Parmeshwar ki baaton se adhik is sansaar ki baaton ki parvaah karne ke pralobhan par vijay praapt karna. Iska arth hai manushye ke dharamshaastra se adhik Masih ke siddhaant par vishwaas karna. Iska arth hai sachche me aanandit hona, dhokhe ka khandan karna aur “Masih ke vinamr anuyaayee banana.”⁶ Iska arth hai Aatma ko door bhagaane waali kisi bhi cheez se door rahena chunana. Iska arth hai hamare pasandeeda paapon ko bhi “dene” ke liye taeyaar rahena.⁷

Ab, duniya par jeet haasil karne ka matlab nishchit roop se is jiwan me paripoorn hona nahin hai, aur na hee iska matlab yah hai ki aapki samasyaen jaaduee roop se lupt ho jaengee- kyunki ve nahin hongi. aur iska matlab yah nahi hai ki aap abhi bhi galatiyaan nahin karenge. Parantu sansaar par kaaboo paane ka arth yah hai ki paap ke prati aapka pratirodh badh jaega. Jaise jaise Ishu Masih mein aapka vishwaas badhega aapka hrday komal hoga.⁸ Duniya par kaaboo paane ka matlab hai ki aap kisi aur se ya kisi bhi cheej se zyaada Parmeshwar aur Uske Pyaare Bete se pyaar karna chahate hain.

To phir ham duniya par kaaboo kaise praapt karen? Raaja Benjamin ne hamen sikhaaya ki kaise. Usne kaha ki “svaabhaavik manushye Parmeshwar ka shatru hai” aur hamesha ke liye bana rahata hai “jabtak ki vah Pavitr Aatma ke pralobhanon ke aage na jhuk jae, aur praakrtik manushy ko tyaag kar Masih Prabhu ke praeshchit ke dwara sant na ban jae.”⁹ Har baar jab aap Aatma ki preranaon ki talaash karte hain aur uska paalan karte hain, har baar jab aap kuch achcha karte hain—cheejen jo “praakrtik manushy” nahin karega—aap duniya par vijay praapt kar rahe hain.

Duniya par kaaboo paana koi aisi ghatna nahin hai jo ek ya do din me ghatit ho jaati hai. Yah jiwan bhar hota hai kyunki ham baar-baar Masih ke siddhaant ko apanaate hain. Ham pratidin pashchaataap karke aur un anubandhon ka paalan karke jo hamen shakti pradaan karte hain, Ishu Masih me vishwaas vikasit karte hain. Ham anubandh ke maarg par bane rahate hain aur aadhyaatmik shakti, vyaktigat prakateekaran, badhate hue vishwaas, aur swargdooton ki sevakaee se aashishit hote hain. Masih ke siddhaant ko jeena sabse shaktishaali puny chakr utpann kar sakta hai, hamare jiwan me aadhyaatmik gati paida kar sakta hai.¹⁰

Jaise-jaise ham Ishu Masih ke uchch niyamon ko jeene ka prayaas karte hain, hamare hrday aur hamare svabhaav badalne lagte hain. Rakshak hamen adhik daan, vinamrata, udaarata, daya, aatm-anushaasan, shaanti aur aaraam ka aashirvaad dekar is patit sansaar ke khinchaav se oopar utjaata hai.

Ab, aap soch rahe honge ki yah aaraam ki tulna me kathin aadhyaatmik kaarye jaisa lagta hai. Lekin yaha mahaan sachch hai: jabki duniya jor dekar kaheti hai ki shakti, sampatti, lokapriyata, aur deh ke sukh sukh laate hain, weh aisa nahin karte! Weh nahin kar sakte! Jo kuch weh paida karte hain vah aur kuch nahin balki Parmeshwar ki aagyaon ko [jo] maanane vaalon ki dhanye aur sukhi dasha ka ek khokhala vikalp hai.”¹¹

Sachch to yah hai ki jahan aap kabhi khushee nahin pa sakte, waha khushee ki talaash karna kaheen adhik thaakao hai! Haalaanki, jab aap apane aap ko Ishu Masih ke saath jodte hain aur duniya ko jeetane ke liye aavashyak aadhyaatmik kaarye karte hain, to Woh aur kewal Wahi aapko is duniya ke khinchaav se oopar uthaane ki shakti rakhte hain.

Ab, kaise duniya par kaaboo praapt karna hamare jiwaanon ko aashishit karta hai? Uttar spasht hai: Parmeshwar ke saath vaachan ke sambandh me pravesh karna hamen Uske saath is tarah baandhata hai jo jiwan ke baare me sab kuch aasaan bana deta hai. Krpaya mujhe galat na samajhen: mainne yah nahi kaha ki anubandh karne se jiwan aasaan ho jaata hai. Vaastav me, virodh ki apeksha karen, kyunki virodhi nahin chahata ki aap Ishu Masih ki saamarthy ki khoj karen. Lekin apne aap ko Rakshak ke saath jotane ka matlab hai ki aapke paas Uski taakat aur mukti dene waali shakti tak pahunch hai.

President Ezra Taft Benson

Main President Ezra Taft Benson ki ek gahan shiksha ki pushti karta hoon: “Purush aur mahilaen jo apane jiwan ko Parmeshwar ko saump dete hain, unhen pata chal jaega ki Woh unake jiwan se bahut kuch bana sakta hai. Woh unki khushiyon ko gahara karega, unki drshti ka vistaar karega, unke dimaag ko tej karega, unki aatmaon ko uthaega, unki aasheeshon ko badhaega, unke avasaron ko badhaega, unki aatmaon ko aaraam dega, doston ko khada karega aur shaanti barasaega.”¹²

Ye atulaneey visheshaadhikaar un logon ka anusaran karte hain jo is duniya ko door karne me madad karne ke liye swarg ka sahaara lete hain. Is uddeshy ke liye, main pure Girjaghar ke sadasyon ko wahi zimmedaari deta hoon jo mainne pichale May me hamare yuva vayaskon ko dee thee . Mainne tab unse aagrah kiya tha—aur main ab aapase vintee karta hoon—ki weh Ishu Masih aur Uske susmaachaar ki apni svayan ki gawahi ko sambhaalen. Iske liye kaam karein. Iska paalan-poshan karen taaki yah badhe. Isse sach khilao. Avish‍vaasee purushon aur striyon ke jhoothe philospohies se ise apavitr na karo. Jaisa ki aap Ishu Masih ki apani gawahi ki nirantar mazbooti ko apani sarvochch praathmikta banaate hain, apane jiwan me hone vaale chamatkaaron ke liye dekhen.¹³

Aaj subah aapse meree vinatee hai Parmeshwar ke saath apane anubandhon ke maadhyam se duniya par kaaboo paane ke dwara is duniya ki teevrata, anishchitata aur peeda se aaraam paen. Apni praathnaon aur apane kaaryon ke dwara Usse bataen ki aap duniya par kaaboo paane ke liye gambheer hain. Usse apne man ko prabuddh karne ke liye kahen aur aapko aavashyak sahaeta bhejen. Har din, praathana karte samay aapke man me aane waale vichaaron ko rikord karen; phir lagan se paalan karen. Mandir me adhik samay bitaen, aur yah samajhane ki koshish karen ki kaise mandir aapko is patit duniya se oopar uthana sikhata hai.¹⁴

Jaisa ki mainne pahale kaha hai, Israel ka ekatreekaran aaj prthvee par ho raha sabse mahatvapoorn kaarye hai. Is sabha ka ek mahatvapoorn tatv aise logon ko taeyaar kar raha hai jo Prabhu ke phir se aane par use grahan karne me saksham, taeyaar aur yogy hain, aise log jinhonne pahele se hee is patit sansaar ke oopar Ishu Masih ko chun liya hai, aise log jo jiwan jeene ke liye apani ejensi me aanandit hote hain Ishu Masih ke uchch, pavitr kaanoon.

Main aapse aahvaan karaa hoon, mere pyaare bhaiyon aur bahanon, is dharmik log banne ke liye. Anye sabhi pratibaddhataon se oopar apane anubandhon ko sanjoen aur unka sammaan karen. Jaisa ki aap apane jiwan mein Parmeshwar ko prabal hone dete hain, main aapko adhik shaanti, aatmavishvaas, khushee aur haan, aaraam.ka vaada karta hoon.

Main aapko Ishu Masih mein aane vishwaas ko badhaane aur Unki shakti ko kaise aakarshit karna hai, yah behtar tarike se sikhne ke liye aashirvaad deta hoon. Main aapko aashirvaad deta hoon ki aap sachch ko truti se pehchaanane me sakshamhon. Main aapko aashirvaad deta hoon ki Parmeshwar ki baaton se adhik is duniya ki baaton ki parvaah karne ke pralobhan par kaaboo praapt karna. Main aapko aashirvaad deta hoon ki aap apne aaspaas ke logon ki zarooraton ko dekhen aur jinhen aap pyaar karte hain unhen mazaboot karen. Kyunki Ishu Masih is duniya par kaaboo pae, aap bhi jeet sakte hain. Mai yah gawahi Ishu Masih ke pavitra naam se deta hoon, amen.
