Mother Teresa was moved

Mother Teresa was moved by the sight of the sick and dying on the streets of Kolkata. She founded a home for the dying destitute and named it ‘Nirmal Hriday’, meanmg ‘Pure Heart’. She and her fellow nuns brought the dying people off the streets of Kolkata to this home. They were lovingly looked after and cared for. Since then many men, women and children have been taken from the streets and carried to Nirmol Hriday. These unloved and uncared for people get an opportunity to die in an environment of kindness and love. In their last hours they get human and divine love, and can feel they are also children of God. The Missionaries of Charity try to find jobs for those who survive, or send them to homes where they can live happily for some more years in a caring environment.

Regarding commitment to family, Mother Teresa said, “May be in our own family, we have somebody, who is feeling lonely, who is feeling sick, who is feeling worried. Are we there? Are we willing to give until it hurts in order to be with our families, or do we put our interest first? We must remember that love begins at home and we must also remember that future of humanity passes through the family”.

Mother Teresa’s work has been recognised throughout the world and she received a number of awards. These include the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971), the Nehru Prize for Promotion of International Peace & Understanding (1972), the Balzan Prize (1978), the Nobel Peace Prize (1979) and the Bharat Ratna (1980).

Mother Teresa died at the age of 87, on 5 September 1997.The world salutes her for her love and compassion for humanity. She has taught us how to extend our hand towards those who need our love and support irrespective of creed, caste and religion. The picture of Mother Teresa, draped in a white and blue-bordered sari, with a wrinkled face, ever soft eyes and a saintly smile, lives on in our mind.

মাদার তেরেসা কলকাতার রাস্তায় অসুস্থ ও মৃত্যুপথযাত্রী মানুষদের দেখে গভীরভাবে বিচলিত হয়েছিলেন। তিনি মৃত্যুপথযাত্রী ও আশ্রয়হীন মানুষদের জন্য একটি আশ্রয়কেন্দ্র প্রতিষ্ঠা করেন এবং এর নাম দেন ‘নিরমল হৃদয়‘, যার অর্থ ‘পবিত্র হৃদয়‘। তিনি এবং তাঁর সহকর্মী সন্ন্যাসিনীরা কলকাতার রাস্তা থেকে মৃত্যুপথযাত্রী মানুষদের এই আশ্রয়কেন্দ্রে নিয়ে আসতেন। তাঁদের স্নেহভরে দেখাশোনা ও যত্ন করা হতো। সেই থেকে অনেক পুরুষ, নারী ও শিশুকে রাস্তা থেকে তুলে নিরমল হৃদয়ে নিয়ে আসা হয়েছে। এই ভালোবাসাহীন ও যত্নহীন মানুষরা স্নেহ ও ভালোবাসার পরিবেশে মৃত্যুবরণ করার সুযোগ পান। তাঁদের জীবনের শেষ মুহূর্তগুলিতে তাঁরা মানবিক ও ঐশ্বরিক ভালোবাসা পান এবং অনুভব করতে পারেন যে তাঁরাও ঈশ্বরের সন্তান।

মিশনারিজ অব চ্যারিটি যাঁরা বেঁচে থাকেন তাঁদের জন্য কাজ খুঁজে দেওয়ার চেষ্টা করে, অথবা তাঁদের এমন আশ্রয়ে পাঠায় যেখানে তাঁরা আরও কিছু বছর যত্নশীল পরিবেশে সুখে vivir করতে পারেন।

পরিবারের প্রতি অঙ্গীকার সম্পর্কে মাদার তেরেসা বলেছিলেন, “হয়তো আমাদের নিজের পরিবারেই এমন কেউ আছেন, যিনি একাকিত্ব অনুভব করছেন, যিনি অসুস্থ বোধ করছেন, যিনি উদ্বিগ্ন বোধ করছেন। আমরা কি সেখানে আছি? আমরা কি আমাদের পরিবারের সঙ্গে থাকার জন্য কষ্ট স্বীকার করে হলেও দিতে প্রস্তুত, নাকি আমরা আমাদের নিজের স্বার্থকে প্রথমে রাখি? আমাদের মনে রাখতে হবে যে ভালোবাসা শুরু হয় ঘর থেকে, এবং আমাদের এটাও মনে রাখতে হবে যে মানবতার ভবিষ্যৎ পরিবারের মধ্য দিয়েই প্রবাহিত হয়।“

মাদার তেরেসার কাজ বিশ্বব্যাপী স্বীকৃতি লাভ করেছে এবং তিনি বহু পুরস্কার পেয়েছেন। এর মধ্যে রয়েছে পোপ জন ত্রয়োবিংশ শান্তি পুরস্কার (১৯৭১), আন্তর্জাতিক শান্তি ও সমঝোতা প্রসারের জন্য নেহরু পুরস্কার (১৯৭২), বলজান পুরস্কার (১৯৭৮), নোবেল শান্তি পুরস্কার (১৯৭৯) এবং ভারতরত্ন (১৯৮০)।

মাদার তেরেসা ১৯৯৭ সালের ৫ সেপ্টেম্বর ৮৭ বছর বয়সে মৃত্যুবরণ করেন। মানবতার প্রতি তাঁর ভালোবাসা ও সহানুভূতির জন্য বিশ্ব তাঁকে সালাম জানায়। তিনি আমাদের শিখিয়েছেন কীভাবে ধর্ম, বর্ণ ও জাতি নির্বিশেষে তাদের দিকে হাত বাড়িয়ে দিতে হয় যাদের আমাদের ভালোবাসা ও সহায়তা প্রয়োজন। সাদা ও নীল পাড়ের শাড়ি পরিহিতা, wrinkled মুখ, সদা কোমল চোখ এবং সন্তসুলভ হাসির মাদার তেরেসার ছবি আমাদের মনে চিরজীবী হয়ে আছে।
