Tafakari ya Mkutano<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Katika hatua ya mabadiliko katika maisha yangu karibu miaka 35 iliyopita, nilipokuwa nikitafuta njia ya kiroho na jumuiya inayolingana na imani na maadili yangu, zaidi au kidogo nilijikwaa kwenye mkutano wa Quaker. Katika ziara yangu ya kwanza, niliingia kwenye chumba cha ibada na kukaa. Kisha nikasubiri na kusubiri na kusubiri. Baada ya dakika nyingi, nilijiuliza ni lini ibada itaanza. Na hivyo iliendelea hadi, mwishowe, mwanamke alianza kusema moja kwa moja kutoka moyoni mwake. Dakika chache baadaye, wote waliokuwepo walisalimiana. <\/p>\n\n

Niliguswa moyo sana na kuvutiwa na usahili na ukweli wa yale niliyosikia na kujionea. Nilijiuliza watu walikuwa wanafanya nini pale kwenye ukimya; ni swali ambalo bado najiuliza. Katika mkutano huo, kulikuwa na mabango yaliyowekwa karibu na chumba cha ibada yanayoonyesha nukuu za Quakers za mapema, pamoja na hii ya George Fox: <\/p>\n\n

\n

Tulia na kupoa akilini na rohoni mwako kutokana na mawazo yako mwenyewe, na ndipo utahisi kanuni ya Mungu ya kugeuza mawazo yako kwa Bwana Mungu ambaye kutoka kwake msaada unatoka, ambapo utapokea nguvu na uwezo Wake wa kutuliza dhoruba na tufani zote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Kwa miaka mingi ya mazoezi, maneno haya yamekuwa mwongozo muhimu wa kunisaidia katikati na kuingia katika ukimya wa ibada. Hapa kuna mchakato wa jumla ambao unanifanyia kazi; labda utapata msaada, pia. <\/p>\n\n

Ili kujitayarisha kwa ajili ya mkutano kwa ajili ya ibada, nilisoma vifungu vifupi vya Biblia na maandishi mengine ya kiroho katika juma zima, na kutafakari juu ya yale ambayo nimesoma na jinsi yanavyohusika katika maisha yangu. Siku ya Kwanza inapofika, napenda kuondoka wakati mwingi ili kufika kwenye mkutano, na mimi huepuka midia yote ili nipate uzoefu kamili wa wakati uliopo. Ninapohisi kuharakishwa, kukengeushwa, au kufadhaika, inanichukua muda mrefu zaidi kugeuka ndani. Ikiwa majukumu mengine au wasiwasi huingilia kati, ninajaribu kukubali. Kupigana nao huongeza mkazo tu. <\/p>\n\n

Ninapowasili, ninastarehe, nafunga macho yangu, naelekeza fikira zangu ndani, na kurudia maneno machache ya kwanza ya nukuu ya Fox: \u201cTulia na utulivu akilini na rohoni mwako.\u201d Ikiwa mawazo mengine yananisumbua au kunisumbua, kuzingatia kifungu hiki cha maneno husaidia kujitayarisha kuingia ndani zaidi katika ibada. <\/p>\n\n

Maadamu tuna uwezo wetu wa kusikia, tunaona kwamba hakuna ukimya kabisa duniani. Walakini, tunaweza kuwa tulivu. Fikiria bwawa ambalo hakuna kitu kinachosonga na hakuna upepo. Uso wa maji huonyesha anga kikamilifu. Lakini hata mdudu mdogo au jani linaloanguka juu ya uso hutuma mawimbi. Ninapenda taswira hii kwani inanipa msukumo wa kutulia kimwili na kupumua polepole na kwa uthabiti; Ninajaribu kuwa mtulivu kama bwawa lisilo na usumbufu. ”Tulia na utulivu.” Wazo la kuwa mtulivu huleta hisia ya utulivu, na mara tu mwili unapokuwa kimya, ni rahisi zaidi kuacha. Kwa hiyo basi, \u201cTulia na kutulia katika akili na roho yako kutokana na mawazo yako mwenyewe.\u201d Kugeuza hili mara kwa mara huruhusu uhuru kwa akili na roho yangu kugeukia ndani na kutoa wasiwasi wa kila siku. Wakati mwingine matunzo hayo yanatugusa kwa undani zaidi kuliko akili zetu tu; wanasumbua roho zetu. Hivyo, kuwa tulivu na tulivu kunaweza kutusukuma kuachilia mahangaiko haya, tukiacha \u201cmawazo yetu wenyewe\u201d nyuma, na inawezekana kuendelea zaidi: \u201cndipo utahisi kanuni ya Mungu.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Mara tu hapo, ninaruhusu wakati na nafasi kuhisi chemchemi hii, hii ”kanuni” ya Uungu: uwepo wa Mungu. Ninaanza kuhisi ufahamu zaidi wa wakati uliopo, wa kila mtu kwenye chumba, ambapo wakati unahisi kusimamishwa. Ni muda usio na maneno unaofikia na kugusa ule wa Mungu ndani ya kila mmoja wetu. Hapa sio lazima kufanya au kuwa chochote. Tunaweza kuwa tulivyo: \u201ckuelekeza nia yako kwa Bwana Mungu.\u201d (Ikiwa maneno kama vile \u201cBwana\u201d au \u201cMungu\u201d yanapuuza au hayapatani na imani yako, jaribu maneno yenye maana zaidi kwako: wa Milele, Roho, Kimungu, n.k.) Kwa Marafiki wa mapema, huyu alikuwa \u201cKristo Ndani,\u201d \u201cMbegu ya kimungu,\u201d \u201cile ya Mungu,\u201d ambayo hutupatia ujuzi wa upendo, wema, ukweli, haki, na yaliyo sawa. Katika kuhisi chanzo hiki, kanuni hii ya Uungu, akili inaweza kukutana na kumsikiliza Mwalimu wa Ndani na kuhisi upendo, huruma, na amani isiyo na kikomo ambayo inapatikana milele. <\/p>\n\n

Sasa nikisikiliza kwa akili na roho yangu kwa Uungu, kisha ninauliza kama kuna ujumbe kwa ajili yangu au usaidizi wa mapungufu ya kibinafsi\u2014ni wapi ambapo nimekosa, ni kitu gani ambacho ningeweza kukiacha, au kama ninahitaji msamaha. Je, Mungu anaweza kuwa ananiuliza nini? Ni nini huja akilini mwangu kutokana na hisia hii na kukutana na Roho? Hakuna haja ya kuuliza maswali mengi lakini kuuliza tu kile kinachotokea kwa wakati huu. Wakati mwingine maneno au mawazo huja yenyewe, bila kutabirika, au kwa kushangaza. Wakati mwingine mawazo au wasiwasi hutokea tena kutoka kwa siku chache zilizopita, wiki, au zaidi. Sijaribu mara moja kutoamini mawazo haya kama yanatoka kwangu tu; badala yake, mimi hukaa nao kwa muda. Je, zinapatana na hisia za chemchemi ya Milele? Ni mahali hapa \u201cambapo msaada unatoka kwake, ambapo utapokea nguvu na uwezo Wake.\u201d Nikiwa na wazo hili, wasiwasi, au mawazo, ninajiuliza: je, inaendelea kujisikia sawa? Je, ina hiyo \u201cnguvu na uwezo,\u201d huo upole, wema, upole, na upendo unaotoka kwa chanzo cha Milele cha Kweli yote? Je, ni ujumbe ambao umekusudiwa mimi peke yangu? Ikiwa ndivyo, ninaishikilia na ninashukuru kwa zawadi hiyo ya upendo. Je, ujumbe unabeba maana na umuhimu unaotumika zaidi kuliko mimi mwenyewe? Wakati mwingine inakusudiwa kushirikiwa. Ninaishikilia; kufuata hisia za Roho; na ungojee wakati ambao unahisi sawa kuzungumza. Wakati fulani, utulivu ni wa kina sana, na ninahisi haja ya kuomba mwongozo: ”nguvu na uwezo” kuwa mwaminifu kuzungumza kile kinachotolewa. <\/p>\n\n

Baada ya kusema, ninarudisha akili na roho yangu kwa utulivu, ubaridi, na uwazi kwa uwepo wa wengine waliokusanyika na Roho. Ninatoa shukrani kimya kwa kile ambacho kimetolewa kwenye mkutano kupitia huduma yangu ya sauti. Iwe ujumbe unapokelewa au kutoshirikiwa wakati wa mkutano kwa ajili ya ibada, ninaamini kwamba kuweka akili na roho zetu zimeelekezwa kwa Mungu, Roho wa Milele, hutengeneza hali ambapo wote katika mkutano wanaweza kuwa wazi na kupokea maongozi ya Kimungu na huduma kutoka kwa jumuiya. <\/p>\n\n

Hii ni njia moja tu ya ibada ya Quaker. Bila shaka kuna wengine wengi, lakini labda inaweza kusaidia kujibu swali kwa wageni kuhusu nini watu wanafanya katika utulivu. Je, ujumbe hutokeaje? Huduma ya sauti ni nini hasa? Tunapoingia ndani kwenye shimo hilo lenye kina kirefu la roho yetu na kutazama Ule wa Milele, tunaweza kupata Nuru ya Ndani ya Ukweli, Matumaini, na Upendo katika watu wote na viumbe vyote. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
