Juu ya Kusikiliza Sauti ya Ndani<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Baadhi ya watu wamebahatika kukua katika mazingira ambayo wanalishwa, kuthaminiwa na kupendwa. Wanajifunza kujipenda na kujithamini hadi watu wazima. Sisi wengine, sio sana. Uunganisho wetu wa akili umewekwa kwenye mkondo wa gumzo la kujihujumu mara kwa mara. Katika kitabu chake cha tafakari za kila siku, Bread for the Journey<\/em> , marehemu kasisi wa Kikatoliki Henri Nouwen alielezea uzoefu wake hivi: <\/p>\n\n

\n

Sauti nyingi zinaomba usikivu wetu. Kuna sauti inayosema, ”Thibitisha kuwa wewe ni mtu mzuri.” Sauti nyingine inasema, ”Afadhali ujionee aibu.” Pia kuna sauti inayosema, ”Hakuna anayekujali kabisa,” na ile inayosema, ”Hakikisha kuwa umefanikiwa, maarufu, na mwenye nguvu.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Nouwen alikuwa Mkatoliki na shoga wakati vitambulisho hivyo vilitoa msingi mzuri wa migogoro mirefu katika moyo na akili yake. Ijapokuwa alilelewa katika nyumba yenye starehe, hakumpendeza kamwe baba yake, na baadaye alikiri kwamba alikuwa mraibu wa kupata kibali na shauku ya wengine. Alipata mfadhaiko mkubwa kutoka Desemba 1987 hadi Juni 1988 uliosababishwa na kuvunjika kwa urafiki wa karibu. Akitazama chini kwenye njia ndefu, isiyo na upendo, na ya upweke ya useja, alitilia shaka imani yake na maisha yake. Nouwen aliweza kwenda mafungo kupokea tiba, na huko alihifadhi jarida ambalo lilichapishwa miezi minne baada ya kifo chake mwaka wa 1996. Kitabu, Sauti ya Ndani ya Upendo<\/em> , ndicho kielelezo cha moja kwa moja cha mapambano yake ya kupatanisha msukosuko wake wa ndani na imani yake na kudhibiti hisia zake. <\/p>\n\n

Nouwen alipata usaidizi wa kimungu kwa usikivu mwaminifu kwa Sauti Ndani. Sehemu ya hapo juu kutoka kwa Mkate kwa Safari<\/em> inaendelea: <\/p>\n\n

\n

Lakini chini ya sauti hizi zote zenye kelele nyingi sana ni sauti tulivu, ndogo ambayo inasema, ”Wewe ni Mpenzi wangu, neema yangu iko juu yako.” Hiyo ndiyo sauti tunayohitaji zaidi ya yote kuisikia. Kusikia sauti hiyo, hata hivyo, kunahitaji jitihada maalum; inahitaji upweke, ukimya, na azimio kubwa la kusikiliza. Ndivyo maombi yalivyo. Ni kusikiliza sauti inayotuita \u201cMpenzi wangu.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Kwa Nouwen, sauti ya upendo (au Mungu kwa ajili yake) ilikuwa sala ya Uwepo. Alikuwa akirejelea sauti iliyozungumza na Yesu mapema katika utu uzima wake, kama inavyofafanuliwa katika Mathayo 3:16\u201317 : \u201cBaada ya ubatizo wa Yesu, alipopanda kutoka majini, mbingu zikamfunukia, akamwona Roho wa Mungu akishuka kama njiwa, akija juu yake; Nouwen, lakini katika nyakati zake za giza kabisa, alishikilia ile sauti ndogo iliyozungumza naye kama ilivyozungumza na Yesu. Nidhamu ya kusikiliza upendo na kupuuza sauti ya kutokubali ilimsaidia kushinda hisia zake za kutostahili, upweke, na ubatili. Ilimfanya ahisi kupendwa na kupendwa. <\/p>\n\n

Hadithi kuhusu Yesu katika Mathayo 3 ina sehemu mbili: ubatizo na ahadi ya muungano na upendo wa kiungu. Ukristo ulianzisha sehemu ya ubatizo, wakati kizazi cha kwanza cha Quaker kilikubali sehemu ya kiroho. Marafiki wa Awali waliamini kwamba upendo wa Mungu na neema ilimiminika ndani ya Yesu si kwa sifa yake mwenyewe bali kwa sababu tu alikuwa mtoto mpendwa wa wanadamu, na kwamba wangeweza pia kumwilisha Uungu kama matokeo ya kusadikishwa kwao. <\/p>\n\n

Baadaye katika huduma yake, Yesu alikumbuka hali halisi yake ya kiroho wakati mamlaka zilipomuuliza ni amri gani kuu kuliko zote, katika Mathayo 22:34\u201340:<\/p>\n\n

\n

Mafarisayo waliposikia kwamba Yesu amewanyamazisha Masadukayo, wakakusanyika pamoja. Kisha mmoja wao, ili kumjaribu, akamwuliza swali hili, \u201cMwalimu, ni amri gani iliyo kuu katika torati?\u201d Jibu lake lilikuwa, \u201c’Lazima umpende Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote, na kwa roho yako yote, na kwa akili zako zote.’ Hii ndiyo amri iliyo kuu ya kwanza; Katika amri hizi mbili hutegemea torati yote na manabii.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Amri ya kwanza haina mashaka, lakini amri ya pili haina utata. Kwa Marafiki wengi, inamaanisha kuwapenda majirani zetu kama vile tunavyojipenda wenyewe, na sisi ni wazuri sana katika hilo. Hata hivyo, kuna maana ya kinyume ambayo Yesu alikusudia pia: mapenzi ya Mungu ni sisi kujipenda wenyewe kama vile tunavyowapenda jirani zetu. Hiyo ndiyo nidhamu ya mtu halisi wa kiroho. <\/p>\n\n

Tunajifunzaje kujipenda ikiwa hatukujifunza utotoni? Njia moja ni kubadilisha maandishi yetu ya ndani kwa kuhudhuria Sauti ya Ndani ya Upendo. Sauti inaweza kuwa ya Mungu, Gaia, Kristo, Umoja, Siri Kubwa, au nguvu ya ulimwengu mzima ya upendo ambayo Martin Luther King Jr. alieleza hivi: \u201cUpendo ndio kani kuu zaidi katika ulimwengu wote mzima. <\/p>\n\n

Kufikia Sauti Ndani hakuzuiliwi na wakati au eneo mahususi; inaweza kutufariji, kutufariji, kutulea upya, na kutusaidia kudhibiti hisia zetu wakati wowote na mahali popote. Ili kufanya hivyo, upendo lazima uwe wimbo mpya unaochezwa ndani, nidhamu ya sala isiyokoma. <\/p>\n\n

Sauti Yangu ya Ndani haikupata msamiati wa upendo, kwa hivyo nilitazama maandishi ya Marafiki wa mapema na nikapata walijua juu ya nguvu ya upendo. Mnamo 1663, Isaac Penington aliandika juu ya jinsi upendo unaweza kubadilisha: <\/p>\n\n

\n

Upendo ni nini? Nitasema nini juu yake, au nitaelezeaje asili yake kwa maneno? Ni utamu wa maisha; ni hali tamu, laini, inayoyeyuka ya Mungu, inayotiririka kupitia mbegu yake ya uhai ndani ya kiumbe, na ya vitu vyote kikifanya kiumbe kifanane naye zaidi, katika maumbile na utendaji wake. Inatimiza sheria, inatimiza injili; inafumbata yote katika umoja, na kuleta yote katika umoja. Huondoa uovu wote nje ya moyo, hukamilisha mema yote moyoni. Mguso wa upendo hufanya hivi kwa kipimo; upendo kamili hufanya hivi kwa utimilifu. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Nilishikamana na mtindo wa maua wa George Fox, katika Waraka wake wa 270, ambao niliuweka kibinafsi na kukariri ili kufikiria na kusikia katika mawasiliano ya mara kwa mara na Spirit:<\/p>\n\n

\n

Nuru inayoangaza moyoni mwangu inanipa maarifa ya Kimungu. Naijua hazina ya mbinguni katika chombo changu cha udongo. Nyota ya mchana inatokea na siku inapambazuka moyoni mwangu mwenyewe. Mimi ni hekalu la Kristo. Kristo anakaa pamoja nami, anatembea nami, na anakula pamoja nami.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Pia nilichukua uhuru wa kumrekebisha Thomas Kelly kwa mahitaji yangu, kutoka kwa kifungu katika insha ya \u201cUtiifu Mtakatifu\u201d katika Agano lake la Kujitolea<\/em> :<\/p>\n\n

\n

Ninajitolea nafsi yangu yote katika kuachana kwa furaha na Upendo Ndani. Geuza kwa mshangao mnyenyekevu kwa Nuru, uzimie ingawa inaweza kuwa hivyo. Vuta sala ya kimya kwa ajili ya msamaha na uanze tena. Usikubali kuvunjika moyo, lakini rudi kimya kwa Upendo.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Baada ya muda, na kwa nidhamu, marudio ya maneno kama haya yaliweka upya akili na moyo wangu, na kuweka upya mifumo yangu ya kufikiri. Bado ni maombi ya mara kwa mara ya Uwepo ambayo hutiririka ndani yangu kwa upendo, na haiachi nafasi nyingi kwa sauti ya kuudhi ya chuki binafsi. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
