Anth Tak Vaphaadar Rehna
Uske haath se, aap apane jeevan mein aane vaale pratyek Goliath ko giraane mein saksham honge.
Priye jawaan doston, aaj main aapse—Girjaghar ke yuvaon se sidhe baat karana chahati hoon.
Hamari Young Women Jenral Presidensi ko bulae hue ek saal ho gaya hai. Ih pichale saal mein kitna kuch hua hai!
Ham aap mein se kai logon se mil chuke hain aur hamane ek saath Masih ki shikshaon ka adhyayan sikha hai. Ham gaane gae hain, nae dost banae hain aur apane samudaayon mein aapake saath sewa ki hai. Yuva sammelanon aur duniya ki ghatnae mein aapke gawahi sunakar ham majboot hue hain. Aur ham ne Prabhu ke ghar mein ek saath sammaan(worshipped) kiya hai.
Har baar hamane apane Prabhu Ishu Masih ka ek sandesh sheyar kiya hai. Aaj raat alag nahin hogi; mere paas ek sandesh hai, Ishu Masih ke Girjaghar ke yuvaon ke liye.
Wah Bade Sawaalein
Kya aapne kabhi socha hai ki paap ki duniya mein rahate hue aap Parmeshwar ke prati kaise wafaadar rah sakate hain? Aapko aage badhane aur achcha karate rahane ki taakat kaha se milti hai? Aap sachche khushi ka anubhav kaise karate hain?
Mujhe lagta hai ki David aur Goliath ka anubhav madad kar sakata hai.
David aur Goliath
Puraane Niyam mein, Philistines ki sena Israelites se yuddh kar rahi thee, aur har subah aur har shaam, Goliath naam ka ek vishaal Philistine kisi bhi Israelite ko usse ladane ke liye chunaoti deta tha.
Israelite logon ke beech David raheta tha, ek jawaan charavaaha jo Goliath se bahut chota tha lekin Ishu Masih mein bahut bada vishwaas rakhata tha! David ne ladne ke liye volantiyaar kiya. Yaha tak ki raaja ne bhi use mana karne ki koshish ki, lekin David ne Ishu Masih par bharosa rakhana chuna.
Isse pahale, David ne sher aur bhaaloo se bhi ladai ki thee. Uski anubhavon se, use pata tha ki Parmeshwar ne uski raksha ki thi aur use vijayee banaya tha. David ke liye, Parmeshwar ka kaaran sabse mahatvapurn kaaran tha. Islie, us Parmeshwar mein vishwaas bhara hua jo use nahin tyaagega, usne paanch chikane patthar ikatthe kiya, apana gophan uthaaya, aur vishaal ka saamana karane ke liye chala gaya.
Dharamshaastra hamen bataate hain ki David ne jo pahela patthar phenka woh Goliath ke maathe par laga, jisse uska jeevan samaapt ho gaya.
Jawaab khoj raha hoon
Jabki David ne Goliath ko maarane ke liye kewal ek patthar ka istemaal kiya, woh paanch ke saath taeyaar tha. Paanch ke saath! Yah mujhe sochane par majboor karata hai ki main duniya ka saamana karane ke liye khud ko kaise taeyaar kar sakati hoon.
Kya hoga agar David ke har ek patthar us taakat ka pratinidhitv karate hain jiski hamen apane jeevan mein vijayee hone ke liye aavashyakata hai? Woh paanch patthar kya ho sakte hai? Maine in sambhaavanaon ke baare mein socha:
-
Parmeshwar par mere prem ka patthar.
-
Hamare Uddhaarkarta, Ishu Masih mein mere vishwaas ka patthar.
-
Meri asali pahechaan ke gyaan ka patthar.
-
Mere har roj ka paschtataap ka patthar.
-
Parmeshwar ki shakti tak meri pahunch ka patthar.
Aaie is baare mein baat karen ki ham in shaktiyon se kaise dhanye hain.
Pahela, Parmeshwar par mere prem prem ka patthar. Parmeshwar se prem karna paheli mahan aagya hai. Woh For the Strength of Youth hamen sikhaata hai: “Parmeshwar aapase pyaar karata hai. Woh aapke Pita hai. Uska sampurn prem aapko Usse prem karane ke liye prerit kar sakata hai. Jab Swarg ke Pita ke liye aapka pyaar aapke jiwan mein sabse mahatvaprn prabhaav daalta hai, to kai nirnay aasaan ho jaate hain.”
Parmeshwar ke prati hamara prem aur Usake saath hamara ghanishth sambandh hamen apane hrdayon ko badalne aur apani chunautiyon par adhik aasaani se kaaboo paane ke liye aavashyak shakti pradaan karata hai.
Dusra, hamare Uddhaarkarta, Ishu Masih mein mere vishwaaska patthar. Jab Ishu Masih prthvee par aae, Usne hamare paapon ke liye kasht uthaayaaaur Usne hamare dukhon, hamari peedaon, hamari kamajoriyon aur hamari shaareerik aur maanasik beemaariyon ko apane upar le liya. Isiliye Woh jaanta hai ki hamari madad kaise karni hai. Ishu Masih mein vishwaas rakhane ka arth hai Uski buddhi, Uska samay, Uski prem aur hamare paapon ka praeshchit karane ki Uski shakti par pura bharosa karana. Ishu Masih mein vishwaas ka patthar hamare jiwan mein kisi bhi “vishaal” ko hara dega Ham is patit sansaar par vijay praapt kar sakate hain kyonki usane sabase pahale is par vijay praapt ki.
Nambar teen, meri asali pehechaan ke gyaanka patthar. Hamaare priye profat, President Russell M. Nelson, ne hamen sikhaya ki hamarie sabase mahatapurn pahechaan Parmeshwar ki santaan, vaachan ki santaan aur Ishu Masih ke shishyon ke roop mein hai.
Jab hamein pata chalta hai ki main vaastav mein kaun hoon to sab kuch badal jaata hai. Jab main apani kshamataon par sandeh karti hoon, to main aksar apane aap ko man mein ya zor se doharaati hoon, “Main Parmeshwar ki beti hoon, main Parmeshwar ki beti hoon,” jitni baar mujhe zaroorat hoti hai jab tak main phir se aage badhane ke liye aashvast mehsoos nahin karati.
Chautha, mere har roj paschaatapka patthar. Humare For the Strength of Youth gaid mein, ham padhate hain: “pashchaataap paap ki saza nahin hai; yah woh tareeka hai jisse Uddhaarkarta hamen paap se mukt karata hai. Pashchaataap ka matlab hai badalna―paap se vimukh hokar Parmeshwar ki or mudana. Iska matlab hai sudhaar karna aur chama praapt karna. Is prakaar ka parivartan koi ek-baar ki ghatana nahin hai; yah ek satat prakriya hai. ”
Parmeshwar ki chama ko mehsoos karane aur yah jaanane se adhik muktidaayak kuch bhi nahin hai ki ham shuddh hain aur Usake saath riconsiled hain. Chama sab ke liye sambhav hai.
Paanchavaan patthar Parmeshwar ki shakti tak meri pahaunchka patthar. Jo vachanein ham Parmeshwar ke saath banaate hain, jaise ki ham bapatisma ki vidhi mein karate hain, weh hamen ishvaratv ki shakti tak pahunch pradaan karate hain. Parmeshwar ki shakti ek vaastavik shakti hai jo hamen chunautiyon ka saamana karane, achche nirnay lene, aur kathin paristhitiyon ko sahane ki hamari kshamata badhaane mein madad karati hai. Yah ek aisi shakti hai jisake saath ham apani aavashyak vishisht kshamataon mein vikaas kar sakate hain.
WohFor the Strength of Youth gaid samjhata hai ki “Vachanein aapko Ishu Masih aur Uddhaarkarta se jodate hai. Weh tumhari jeevan mein Parmeshwar ki shaktiko badhaate hain.”
Aaiye us judaav(connection) ke baare mein baat kare. Yaad hai jab Masih ne chattaan par bane ghar aur ret par bane ghar ke beech antar sikhaaya tha? Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf ne samjhaaya: “Tufaan mein koi ghar isliye nahin tikata kyunki ghar mazboot hota hai. Yah isliye bhi nahi tikata kyunki chattaan mazboot hai. Ghar tufaan se bachta hai kyunki woh us mazboot chattaan se mazbooti se juda hua hai. Yah chattaan se judaavki taakat hai jo maayane rakhati hai.”
Ishu Masih ke saath hamara vyaktigat judaav hamen un logon ke beech aage badhane ka saahas aur aatmavishwaas dega jo hamari maanyataon ka sammaan nahin karate hain ya jo hamen dhamakaate hain. Masih hamen use lagaataar apane vichaaron mein rakhane ke liye aamantrit karate hain; Woh kahate hain, harvichaar mein meri or dekho.” Uddhaarkarta ke baare mein sochne se hamen nirnay lene, bina kisi dar ke kaary karane, aur Parmeshwar ki shikshaon ke vipareet jo bhi ho use na kahane ke liye man ki spashtata milati hai. Jab mera din kathin hota hai aur mujhe lagata hai ki main aur nahin sah sakata, to Masih ke baare mein sochane se mujhe shaanti milati hai aur aasha milati hai.
Ham Ishu Masih ki is shakti ka laabh kaise utha sakate hain? Hamare vachanon ka paalan karana aur Ishu Masih mein hamara vishwaas badhaana pramukh hain.
Main vaastav mein chahati thi ki David ke paas ek aur patthar hota; jo meri gawahi ka patthar hota. Hamari gawahi vyaktigat aadhyaatmik anubhavon se nirmit hoti hai jismen ham apane jeevan mein daiveey prabhaav ko pahechante hain. Us gyaan ko hamase koi nahin cheen sakata. Apne aadhyaatmik anubhavon ko jeene se ham jo jaanate hain woh anmol hai. Us gyaan ke prati sachcha hona hamen svatantrata deta hai. Yah hamen khushi deta hai! Yadi ham sach se prem karate hain, ham usaki khoj karenge, aur ek baar jab hamen vah mil jae, to ham usaka bachaav karenge.
Ek Nimantran
Jaise mainne patthar sankhya chah ko chuna, main aapko apane kaksha, korum, ya parivaar se milane aur is baare mein sochane ke liye aamantrit karati hoon ki Parmeshwar ke prati vaphaadaar bane rahane, aur, duniya par vijay paane ke liye aapako aur kaun see taakat haasil karane ki zaroorat hai.
Ek Vaada
Priye doston, Masih hamare jeevan ki yaatra mein hamara saath dene ke liye utsuk hain. Main aapse vaada karati hoon, jaise hi aap lohe ki chad ko pakadenge, aap Ishu Masih ke saath haath milaakar chalenge Wohaapka maargadarshan karega, aur Wohaapko sikhaega Uskehaath se, aap apane jeevan mein aane vaale pratyek Goliath ko giraane mein saksham honge.
Gawahi
Main gawahi deti hoon ki har din prarthana karane mein, har din Morman Dharamshaastra padhane mein, har Ravivaar ko sekrament mein bhaag lene mein, aur seminary jaane mein khushi hoti hai—yaha tak ki subah jaldi bhi! Achcha karane mein khushi hai.
Brahmaand(universe) ke Parmeshwar, duniya ke Uddhaarkarta, Raajaon ke Raaja ke prati vaphaadaar rahane mein khushi hai. Ishu Masih ka shishye hone mein khushi hai
Parmeshwar hamare Swarg ke Pita hai. Woh aapake dil ki ichchaon aur aapki sambhaavanaon ko jaanata hai, aur Woh aap par bharosa karate hai.
Priye yuvaon, Ishu Masih aapko ant tak vaphaadaar bane rahane mein madad karenge. In sachchaaion ki main gawahi deti hoon Ishu Masih ke naam se, amen.
