“Aap Sab Mere Dost Ho”
Rakshak ke ghoshna ki “aap sab mere dost ho” ek clerian bulawa hai badha aur pawitra rishta long banaye me Parmeshwar ke ladkan ke beech me.
Ek duniya jisme vivaad aur alagpan hai, jahan pe civil discorse ke jugment aur ghinna se badal diya ge hai, aur dosti ke -isms aur -ites se define kara ge hai, hum Ih jaan giya hai ke ek saaf, sadhaaran, aur divya udhaaran hai jon humlong sakta dekhe ekta, pyaar aur apnaapan ke liye. Uh udhaaran hai Ishu Masih. Hum gawahi deta ki Uh mahaan unifier hai.
Hum Sab Uske Dost Hai
December 1832 me, jaise “raashtron ke mushkilon ke appearances” “zaada dikhae lagis raha” tabse jabse Church organise bhe raha, Kirtland me Latter-day Saint neta lon, ikatha bhe samelan ke liye. Ulong “alag aur zor se praathna karis Prabhu ke ki Uh apan ichcha [ulong] ke batae de.” Ih kathin kasht ke samay ke dauraan uh wafadaar sadasyon ke praathna ke acknoeledge karke, Prabhu ulong ke comfort karis, teen baar dui shaktishaali shabd se Saints ke address karke: “huma doston.”
Ishu Masih baut paile se apan wafadaar followers ke Apan dost bulaet raha. Doctrine aur Covenants me chauda(14) baar, Rakshak dost shabd istamaal kare samjhae ke ek pawitra aur poshit rishta ke. Hum uh dost shabd ke baare me nai baat karta hai jaise duniya shabd samjhae hai—social media followers ya “likes” ke rakam. Uh hashtag ya Instagram pe ek number ya X ke rakam nai sake capture hoe.
Admittadly, jab hum ek teenager raha, humme yaad hai uh dredad baat chit jab hum uh peeda bhara shabd suna raha “Hey, Humlong sakta khali dost rahe?” ya “Humlong khali friend zone me rahi jae.” Kahin bi pawitra writ me humlong nai suna Uske bolte, “Aap khali huma dost hai.” Balke, Uh sikhais ki Isse zaada “gratar pyaar koi admi ke paas nai raha, ki ek admi apan jiwan apan dost ke liye dai dis raha.” Aur “aap uh hai jiske huma Pita humme dis hai, aap sab huma dost hai.”
Uh bhaav saaf hai: Rakshak humlong sab ke ginis hai aur humlong pe nazar rakhis hai. Ih nigraanee maamoolee ya tuchch nai hai. Balki, uh exalting, elevating aur shaashvat hai. Hum Rakshak ke ghoshna “aap sab huma dost hai“ ke dekhta hai jaise ek clarion bulaawa banae me badha aur pawitra rishta long apan sab Parmeshwar ke ladkan ke beech me “taaki hum sakta ek hoi jae.” Humlong ih karta hai jaise humlong sange aata hai dhoonde doono mauka ek hoe ke aur sab ke apnaapan ke bhaavna ke liye.
Humlong Usme Ek Hai
Rakshak baut sundar se iske dikhais raha Apan bulaawa me ki “aao, huma peeche.” Uh ek dieverse followars ke group se ulong ke alag alag tofa aur gun se Apan chela lon ke chunis. Uh bulais machwaara, ziilots,bhai long jon apan thamakedaar vyaktitv se jaane jaet raha, aur ek tax callector ke bhi. Ulong ke vishwaas Rakshak aur Uspe ghichae ke ichcha se ulong ke milai dis raha. Ulong Uske dekhis, Parmeshwar ke Uske dwara dekhis, aur “sidha apan jaal chchod dis, aur Uske piche chal dis.”
Hum bhi dekha hai kaise badha aur pawitra rishta lon banae se humlong sakta sange hoi ke ek bane. Huma patni, Jennifer, aur hum blessed raha apan paanch ladkan ke New York City me bada kare me. Wahan uh busy metropolis me, humlong kimti aur pawitra rishta lon banaya apan padosi, paathshaala ke doston, business assoshiates, dharm neta lon, aur fellow santo se.
May 2020 me, jaise duniya grapple karet raha global pandemic ke faile ke leke, New York City Commission of Religious Leaders ke sadesyen lon milis virtually ek jald baazi ke bulae la meeting me. Koi kaaryasoochee nai raha. Koi khaas mehmaan nai raha. Khali ek anurodh sange aaye ke aur jon kathinai ke humlong saamna karta raha uske baare me baat kareke dharm neta ke haisiyat se. Disease Control ke Centres report karis raha wai samay ki humlong ke shahar COVID-19 pandemic ke epicentar raha United States me. Iske matlab koi sabha nai. Koi sange aao nai.
Ih dharm neta lon ke liye, nijee ministry, uh congregational melaap, aur uh hapta la worship hatao ek dukhjanit bhayaanak jhatka raha. Humlong ke chota group—jisme raha ek cardinal, reverends, rabbi, imam, pastor, monsignor, aur ek elder—sunis, dilaasa dis, aur ek dusra ke saath dis. Ek dusra ke uppar antar kare ke bajae, humlong uh dekha jonchi humlong me ek rakam hai. Humlong baat kara sambhaavna ke baare me aur phir anumaan ke baare me. Humlong rally aur jawaab diya vishwaas aur bhavish ke baare me sawaal lon ke. Aur phir humlolng praathna kara. Aur, kya humlong praathna kara.
Ek ameer diverse complaxity aur colluding culture se bhara shahar me, humlong dekha apan antar khatam hoe jaise humlong sange aaya dost ban ke ek awaaz, ek lakshya, aur ek praathna me.
Hum long table ke uh taraf ek dusra ke nai dekhta raha lekin swarg ke taraf ek dusra ke sange. Humlong har ek sabha aur bhi ekta me chchoda aur taiyaar raha apan “shovels” uthae ke aur kaam pe lage ke liye. Uh collaboration jon bhe aur uh sewa jon hazaaron New Yorkers ke mila humme sikhais ki ih duniya jon bulae hai division, duuri, aur disengagement ke, wahan baut kuch hai jon humlong ke alag kare se zaada milae hai. Rakshak nivedan karis, ”Ek bano; aur agar tum ek nai hai to tum hama nai hai.”
Bhaiyon aur behno, humlong mango bandh karo kaaran khoje alag hoe ke aur mauka khojo “ek bane ke.” Uh humlong ke anmol tofa aur gun lon ke ashirwaad dis hai jonchi ek dusra se sikhe aur nijee badhau ke nimantrit kare hai. Hum hamesha apan university ke chaatra lon se bolta hai ki agar hum uh kari jonchi tum karta hai aur tum uh karo jonchi hum karta hai, humlong ke ek dusra ke zaroorat nai rahi. Lekin kaiki tum uh nai karta hai jonchi hum karta hai aur hum uh nai karta hai jonchi tum karta hai, humlong ke ek dusra ke zaroorat hai. Aur uh zaroorat humlong ke sange lae. Alag ho aur jeeto virodhi ke yojna hai dosti, pariwaar, aur viswaas ke nasht kare me. Uh Rakshak hai jon ek kare hai.
Humlong Uske Hai
“Ek bane” ke ashirwaadon me se ek vaada hai shaktishaali ehsaas apnaapan ke. Elder Quentin L. Cook sikhais ki “uh sachme apnaapan ke saar hai Masih ke sange ek hoi jao.”
Apan pariwaar ke sange ek haalhi ke mulakaat West Africa ke Ghana shahar me, humme ek local custom se enamored kara ge raha. Koi church ya ghar pe aaye par, humlong ke ih shabd lon “aap ke swaagat hai” se greet kara ge. Jab khaana paraosa jae, humlong ke host ghoshna kare, “Aap amantrit hai.” Ih saadhaaran swaagat vistaarit karage uddeshy aur jaanbhooj ke. Aapke swaagat hai. Aap nimantrit hai.
Humlong sammaan pawitra ghoshna apan meetinghouse ke darwaaza pe rakhta hai. Lekin uh sign Aditi ke Swaagat Hai kaafi nai hai. Kya humlong uh sab ke pyaar se swaagat karta hai jon uh darwaaza me aaye hai? Bhaiyon aur behno, sirf pews me baithna kaafi nai hai. Humlong mango suno Rakshak ke bulaawa ke ki badha aur pawitra rishta lon banao Parmeshwar ke sab ladkan ke sange. Humlong mango apan vishwaas ke jiyo! Huma pitaji humme har waqt yaad karaet raha ki Atwaar ke khali pew me baithe se hum acha Christian nai sakta bane jaise garage me suute se hum gaadi nai sakta bane.
Humlong mango apan jiwan aise jiyo taaki duniya humlong ke nai dekhe lekin Uske humlong ke dwara sake dekhe. Ih khali Atwaar ke nai hoe hai. Ih hoe hai sauda ke dukaan, gas pump, skool ke baithak, pados ke sabha—uh sab jagha jahan humlong ke pariwaar ke baptized aur unbaptized sadasya kaam kare aur rahe hai.
Hum Atwaar ke worship karta hai jaise ek remindar ki humlong ek dusra ke need karta hai aur ek saath humlong Uske need karta hai. Humlong ke anmol tofa aur talents jon humlong ke ek secular duniya me alag kare hai humlong ke ek pawitra jagah me sange kare hai. Rakshak humlong ke batae hai ki ek dusra ke madat karo, ek dusra ke lift karo, aur edify karo. Uh wai cheez karis jab Uh theek karis raha uh aurat ke jiske khoon ke bimaari raha, uh leper ke saaf karis raha jon Usse reham ke bheek mangis raha, ek jawaan raajkumar ke counsel karis raha jon Usse puuchis raha ki uh aur konchi kare sake, pyaar karis Nicodemus ke jon jaanet raha lekin apan vishwaas pe dagmagai ge raha, aur baithis uh aurat ke sange kuuwa pe jon nai fit bhe raha din ke custom me lekin jiske Uh Apan messianic mission ke ghoshna karis. Ih huma liye church hai—sabha aur recovery, marammat aur refocus ke jagah. Jaise President Russell M. Nelson sikhais hai: “Ih gospel ke jaal duniya ke sabse bada jaal hai. Parmeshwar sab ke nimantritkare hai ki Uske paas aao. … Waha pe sab ke liye jagah hai.”
Kuch log ke anubhav shaayad ulong ke mehsoos karaya hoi ki ulong nai belong kare hai. Rakshak ke sandesh tuma aur humma liye ekke hai: “Huma paas aao, uh sab jon labour kare hai aur heavy laden hai, aur Hum tumme aaraam de ga.” Ishu Masih ke gospel humlong ke liye uttam jagah hai. Church aaye se behtar din ke umeed dikhae hai, uh waada ki tum akele nai hai, aur ek pariwaar jon humlong ke need kare jitna humlong ulong ke need karta hai. Elder D. Todd Christofferson affirm karis ki “Pita, Putra aur Pawitra Aatma ke sange ek hona bina sandhe uh ultimate apnaapan hai.” Koi bhi jon door hoi gis hai aur ek mauka khoje hai waapas aye ke liye, hum ek shaashvat sachaai aur nimantran deta hai: Aap yahi ke ho. Laut ke aao. Waqt aai ge hai.
Ih contentious aur divided duniya me, hum gawahi deta hai ki Rakshak Ishu Masih uh mahaan Unifier hai. Hum sakta nimantran de ki apne aap ke worthy banao Rakshak ke nimantran ke liye ki “ek ho” aur boldly ghoshna karo, jaise Uh karis raha, “Aap sab huma dost hai.” Ishu Masih ke pavitra naam se, amen.
