Aao, Profat Ke Aavaaz Suno
Jaise hi hum apane jeevan me jeevit Profats ke aavaaz sunne aur paalan karne ka abhyaas karte hai, hum anant aashirvaad paaenge.
Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-din ke Santon ka Pradhaan ke baare me bolate hue, Parmeshwar ne ghoshana kis:
“Aur phir, High Pristhud ke padh ke President ka kartavy poore Girjaghar ke adhyakshata karna aur Moses ke tarah hona hai—
“… Haan, ek saadhak, ek rahasyodghaatan, ek anuvaadak, aur ek profat, Hone ke liye, jo Parmeshwar ke sabhi upahaar hai jo vah Girjaghar ke pramukhiye ko deta hai” (Doctrine and Covenants 107:91–92; mahatv diya).
Mujhe unke profat par Parmeshwar ke upahaaron ke gavaahi dene ke liye aashirvaad diya gaya hai. Kiya me aapake saath aisa ek pavitr anubhav shear kar sakata hoon? Mere vartamaan koling se pahale, maine bhavishy ke mandir banane waale jagah ka pahachaan aur sifaarish karne me sahaayta kiya. Septembar 11, 2001 ke baad, U.S seemaon ke krosing zyaada kadak hoi ge raha. Uske kaaran, doh se teen ghanta lagta raha kayi Girjaghar ke sadasyon ko Vancouver, Canada se kross karne me, jab woh Seattle Washington Tempal jaate the. Us samay Girjaghar ke Adhyaksh Pradhaan Gordon B. Hinckley the, ne sujhaav diya ki Vancouver me ek tempal Girjaghar ke sadasyon ko aashirvaad dega. Ek jagah khoje ke anumati dewa ge, aur kuch Girja keh apan property ke dekhe ke baad, anye jaghon ki bhi jaanch hui jo Girjaghar ke nahi the.
Ek sundar sait Trans-Canadian- Highway ke pass joh dharmik zoning ke saath raha, mila. Is sait me ukarshit pahunch thi, jise khoobasoorat Canadian pine trees rahe, ur ek pramukh sthaan ka aanand liya jo ise hajaaron gujarane vaale motar chaalakon ke liye drshyamaan bana dega.
Hum logh yeh sait ko foto aur naksha ke saath, mahina keh Sait Commity Baithak mei pesh kiya. Pradhaan Hinckley ne adhikaar dees ki hum ise anubandh ke tahat rakhen aur aavashyak adhyayan poora karen. Us varsh December me, hum logh comiti ko vaapas riport diya ki adhyyan poora ho gaya hai, aur hum logh adhikaar manga khareedhe ke saath aage badhe ke. Hum logh ke riport sunane ke baad, Pradhaan Hinckley ne kaha, “mujhe lagata hai ki mujhe yah sait dekhana chaahie.”
Us mahine baad me, Krismas ke do din baad, hum Pradhaan Hinckley ke saath Vancouver ke liye chale gae; Pradhaan Thomas S. Monson; aur Bill Williams, ek tempal architect. Hum local stake pradhaan Paul Christensen se mile the, jinhonne humen sait par hum logh ke pahuchais raha. Woh din thoda bheega aur dhundhala tha, lekin Pradhaan Hinckley kaar se baahar nikal gae aur pooree sait me chalaneh shuroo kara.
Sait par samay bitaay ke baad, mei Pradhaan Hinckley se poochha ki kiya woh un anyeh saiton ko dekhana chaahenge jinhen maana gaya tha. Usane haan kaha, vah use pasand karenge. Aap dekhte hai, aniyeh sait ko dekhakar, hum uskeh gunon ke tulna kare saktah.
Humane ek badha clockwise loop liyah aniyeh sampattiyon ko dekhar Vancouver ke chaaron or ant me mool sait par vaapas aa gaya. Pradhaan Hinckley ne kaha, “Yah ek sundar sait hai.” Phir usne poochha, “Kya hum Girjaghar-ki-apni meetinghaus jaa sakte hai joh ek-choutahi meel [0.4 km] door par hai?”
“Beshaq, Pradhaan,” hum logh javaab diya.
Hum gaadiyon me vaapas aa gae aur paas ke meetinghaus chale gaye. Jaise hi hum chepal pahunche, Pradhaan Hinckley ne kaha, “Yahaan baae mudo.” Hum nirdesh ke anusaar sadak badal diye aur usi or gaye. Sadak thoda unchaai ki or jaane laga.
Jaise hi gaadi ekdam unchaai par pahuncha, Pradhaan Hinckley ne kaha, “gaadi ko roko, gaadi ko roko.” Uske baad u daahine or ek tukde zameen ki or ishara karke bola, “Is sampatti ke baare me kya khyaal hai? Yah vah jagah hai jahaan tempal bani. Yah vah jagah hai jahaan Parmeshwar tempal chaahate hai. Kya tum ise pa sakte ho? Kya tum ise pa sakte ho?”
Hum ne is sampatti ko nahin dekha tha. Yeh mukhye sadak se peecheh aur door tha, aur ise bechne ke liye nahi rakkha gaya tha. Jab hum logh javaab diya ki hum nahi jaante hei, Pradhaan Hinckley ne sampatti ke or ishaara kiya aur kaha, “yeh woh jagah hai jahaan tempal hoga.” Hum kuch der tehre, phir havai adda chale gaye taaki ghar laut sake.
Agale din, Bratha Williams aur mujhe Pradhaan Hinckley ke office me bulaaya gaya tha. Unhonne kaagaz par sab kuch banaya: sadakein, chepal, yaha baaen(left) mudhe, X nishaan tempal ke liye jagah hai. Usne poocha ki hum logh kiya pata kiye hei. Hum logon ne use bataya ki usne itna mushkil property chuna tha. Yeh teen vyaktiyon ke naam par tha: ek Canada ka, ek India ka, aur ek China ka! Aur is me aavashyak dhaarmik zoning nahin raha.
“Achcha, apnee pooree koshish karo,” usne kaha.
Then the miracles happened. Kuch hi mahinon mei hum logh sampatti ka haasil kar liye, aur baad me British Columbia ka Langley shahar ne, tempal banaane ke anumati di.
Is anubhav pe sochne me, mujhe yah ahasaas ho raha hai ki Bratha Williams aur mere paas aupchaarik shiksha aur achal sampatti aur tempal dijain me varshon ka anubhav tha, Pradhaan Hinckley ke paas aisa koee aupchaarik prashikshan nahin tha, lekin unke paas kuch aur badhiya tha—uphaar jo profatik seership ka. Woh kalpana kar sakta tha ki Parmeshwar ke tempal ko kaha banaye.
Jab Parmeshwar ne mandir banane ke liye is vivaad me shuruat ki Santon ko aadesh diya, to Unhonne ghoshna kiya:
Parantu mere naam ke anusaar ek ghar banaaya jae jise mai unhen dikhaoonga.
“Aur yadi mere log ise us patern ke anusaar nahin banaate jo mei dikhaoonga … , mei ise apane haathon me sveekaar nahin karoonga” (Doctrine and Covenants 115:14–15).
Jaiseh praarambhik santon ke saath, waiseh hi aaj humare saath hai: Parmeshwar ne prakat kiya hai aur Girjaghar ke Pradhaan ko un patternon ko jiskeh dwara Parmeshwar ke raajye ko humare din nirdeshit kara jaawe hai. Aur, vyaktigat starr par, woh maarg darshan pradaan kareh hai ki hum me se pratyek ko apne jeevan ko kaise nirdeshit karna chaahie, jaise ki humaara aacharan bhi Parmeshwar ko sveekaar hoe.
April 2013 me hum u koshishon pe bola jon har ek tempal ke buniyaad taeyaar kare me lage hai jisse i dekha jaawe ki u sab toofaan aur mushikil long me mazboot rahi jo uspe aayi. Lekin yeh buniyaad sirf shuruaat hai. Ek mandir kaee bilding blok se racha ge hai, jo poorva nirdhaarit petan ke anusaar ek saath jodha jaata hai. Yadi humare jeevan, mandir ban jaae jaise hum koshish karte hei banneh ko, jaiseh Parmeshwar sikhais (dekhiye 1 Corinthians 3:16–17), hum uchit roop se khud se poochh sakate hai, “Koun building blok ko hum rakhe jagah par, jo humar jiwan ko sundar, aalishaan aur naash rahit banaae duniya ke sab toofaanoh seh?”
Hum Mormon Dharamshaastra me is prashn ka jawaab pa sakte hai. Joseph Smith ne is bahumulye dharamshaastra ke baare me kaha, “mene bhaaiyon se kaha ki Mormon Dharamshaastra is dharti par sabhi pustakon me se sabse sahi hai, aur humare dharm ka mukhye patthar hai hamare dharam ka (jaise ek arch ka mukhye patthar), aur ek aadmi Ishwar ke kareeb ja sakta hai jab uske niyamon ko paalan kare, kisi aniye kitaab ke milaan me.” (Introduction to the Book of Mormon). Morman Dharamshaastra ke parichay me, humen sikhaaya jaata hai ki “jo log Pavitr Aatma se [ek]divye gavaah praapt karte hai [ki Mormon Dharamshaastra Parmeshwar ka vachan hai] useh bhi wohi shakti se pata chal jaai ki Ishu Masih duniya ki Uddhaarkarta hai, Joseph Smith Unke praktikarta aur [Punahsthaapna ke profat hai], aur yah ki Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dinon ke Santon ka ek baar phir prithvee par sthaapit Prabhu ka raajye hai.”
Ye humare vyaktigat vishvaas aur gavaahi ke kuchh aavashyak bilding blok hai:
-
Ishu Masih is duniya ke Masiha hai.
-
Mormon Dharamshaastra Parmeshwar ka prakat kiya hua shabd hai.
-
Ishu Masih ka Girjaghar Antim-dinon ke Santon ka Parmeshwar ke raajye hai is dharti me.
-
Joseph Smith profat hai aur aaj bhi hum log ke paas ek zinda profat hai.
Haal ke mahinon me, mene har saamaany sammelan padhe ke baad sunee hai jise Pradhaan Nelson ne diya hai jab seh unhen pahale Apostal ke roop me jaana jaata tha. Is abhyaas ne meree jiwan badal dee hai. Jaisa ki mene adhyayan kiya aur 34 saal ke Pradhaan Nelson ke ekatrit gyaan par vichaar kiya, spasht aur barkaraar aadarsh unke shikshaon se ubhara. In mei se pratyek vishay un nirmaan khand building block se sambandhit hai jo abhi batawa ge hain yah phir ek aur kunjee nirmaan khand hum logh ke vyaktigat tempal ke. Un me vishwaas Prabhu Ishu Masih par, pashchaataap, paapon ke shama ke liye baptisma, Pavitra Aatma ka uphaar, mirtakon aur tempal ke kaam ke phir shuru karna, Sebath ke din ko pavitra rakhna, man shuruaat me anth dekhna, vachanbadh maarg par rahana. Pradhaan Nelson ne un sabhi seh pyaar aur bhakti ke baat kiya.
Girjaghar ke mukhye konastone aur imaarat blok aur humare jeevan ke liye Ishu Masih hai. Yeh Unka Girjaghar hai. Pradhaan Nelson Uska Profat hai. Pradhaan Nelson ke shikshaen humare laabh ke liye Ishu Masih ke jeevan aur charitr ko prakat karte hai. Vah Uddhaarkarta ke prakrti aur uske mishan ke pyaar se aur jaan boojh kar bole hai. Unhonne jeevit Profaton ke divye kolling pe lagataar aur dil se gawaah di hai—Girjaghar ke Pradhaano—jinke aguwaai me unhonne sewa ki hai.
Ab, aaj, prithvi par Parmeshwar ke jiwit Profat ke roop me use swikriti dena humara vishesh saobhaagye hai. Hum apanee swikriti aur samarthan ko prakat karne ke liye varg me apanee baahon ko badhaane ke divy paitarn ke maadhyam se Girjaghar ke netaon ko banae rakhane ke aadee hai. Hum ne kuch hi minat pahale aisa kiya tha. Lekin sachchi swikriti is bhautik tokan se aage chala jaata hai. Jaise ki Doctrine and Covenants 107:22me, Pratham Adhyakshta ko “saahas, vishvaas aur girjaghar ke praathna se thahraaya jaata tha.” Hum jeevit profat ko pure tarah se aur vaastav me banae rakhne ke liye aate hai kyonki hum unke shabdon me vishvaas karne ke paitarn ko vikasit karte hai, un par kaary karne ke liye vishvaas rakhte hai, aur phir Parmeshwar ke nirantar aashirvaad ke liye praathna karte hai.
Jab mai Pradhaan Russell M. Nelson ke baare me sochta hoon, to me Uddhaarkarta ke shabdon me santaona deta hoon, jab usne kaha, “aur yadi mere log meri aavaaz sunenge, aur mere sevakon ke aavaaz sunenge jinhen maine apne logon ka netritav karne ke liye niyukt kiya hai, dekho, mai tum se sach kahata hoon, weh apne sthaan se baahar nahin chale jaenge” (Doctrine and Covenants 124:45).
Jeevit Profats ko sunna aur sunne anusaar karna humare jeevan mein gehra, yahaan tak ki jeevan-parivartan kare la prabhaao daalega. Hum majboot honge. Hum adhik aashvasan aur saahas rakhte hai Prabhu me. Hum Parmeshwar ke vachan sunte hai. Hum Parmeshwar ke pyaar mehsoos karte hai. Hum jaan lenge ki uddeshy ke saath apne jeevan kaise aayojit karen.
Me Pradhaan Russell M. Nelson aur anye logon ko pyaar aur banae rakhata hoon jinhen Profats, santon aur rahasyodha ke roop me bulaaya jaata hai. Me gavaahi deta hoon ki uskeh paas Parmeshwar ka diya gaya uphaar hai, aur mai saakshi deta hoon ki jaise hi hum apne jeevan me jeevit Profats ke aavaaz sunne aur paalan karne ka abhyaas karte hai, humare jeevan Parmeshwar ke divy paitarn ke anusaar bani, aur hum anant aashirvaad paaenge. Nimantran sabhi ke liye hai. Aao, profat ke avaaz suno haan, Masih ke paas aao aur jio. Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
