Šri Činmoj, "Sedamdeset-sedam hiljada stabala služenja", knjiga 18.

Odabrani aforizmi između 17,701 and 18,000:

17,719.

Stop not climbing,

Even if you at times

            Slide down.

Ne prestaj da se penješ,

Čak i ako po nekad

            Sklizneš naniže.

17,821.

I was born to serve,

But now God is training me

            To lead.

Rođem sam da služim,

Ali Bog me sad obučava

            Da vodim.

17,878.

May my faith

            In God

Be ocean-deep.

Neka moja vera

            U Boga

Bude duboka kao okean.

17,879.

May my love

            For God

Be mountain-tall.

Neka moja ljubav

            Prema Bogu

Bude visoka kao planina.

17,887.

If we are not at peace

            With ourselves,

How can we ever imagine

Offering peace to the world?

Ako nismo u miru

            Sa samim sobom,

Kako možemo uopšte da pomislimo

Da ponudimo mir svetu?

17,898.

God wants me

            To change

And not to die.

Bog želi

            Da se promenim,

A ne da umrem.

17,981.

It is never too late

            To embark

On a divine journey.

Nikad nije prekasno

            Da se ukrca

Na božansko putovanje.
