"Ljudski umetnik ..."

    "Moja umetnost nije umetnost", iz knjige Šri Činmoj odgovara, 3. deo:

15.

Ljudski umetnik u meni kaže:
"Što je gotovo, gotovo je.
Što je kompletno, kompletno je."
Božanski Umetnik u meni kaže:
"Ništa ne može da bude konačno završeno,
Ništa ne može da bude sasvim kompletirano,
Jer u unutrašnjem svetu
Današnji cilj i
Današnja savršenost
Samo su startna tačka da se krene na novo putovanje
I da se vidi lice nove zore."
Ovo je poruka moje Umetnosti:
Samoprevazilaženje je život,
Srce, dah i duša
Moje Umetnosti.

The human artist in me says:
"What is finished is finished.
What is complete is complete."
The divine Artist in me says
"Nothing can be permanently finished,
Nothing can be completely complete,
For in the inner world
Today's destination and
Today's perfection
Are the starting points to embark on a new journey
And to see the face of a new dawn."
Here comes the message of my Art:
Self-transcendence is the life,
Heart, breath and soul
Of my Art.

U mom umetničkom životu,
Dva su velika ljubitelja Umetnosti:
Prastari ljubitelj umetnosti i
Moderni ljubitelj umetnosti.
Jednom su njih dvojica imali vrlo ozbiljnu svađu.
Svaki od njih želeo je da proglasi svoju nadmoć.
Bio sam nem od zaprepašćenja.
Konačno im rekoh:
"Što se mene tiče,
Ne marim da znam
Ko je bolji i
Ko je gori.
Jedino me zanima
Onaj ljubitelj umetnosti u meni
Koji me uči
Najvišoj Umetnosti -
Umetnosti bezuslovne predaje
Božjoj Volji
U svim mojim delima."

Inside my Art-life
There are two great art-lovers:
The ancient art-lover and
The modern art-lover.
Once they had a very serious quarrel.
Each one wanted to declare His supremacy.
I was dumbfounded.
Finally, I told them:
"As far as I am concerned,
I do not care to know
Who is superior and
Who is inferior.
I am only concerned with
That art-lover inside me
Who is teaching me
The supreme Art-
The Art of unconditional surrender
To God's Will
In all my activities."
