801 - 900

 

Šri Činmoj, "Sedamdeset sedam hiljada stabala služenja", deo 22:

Aforizmi 21,801 - 21,900

 

21,801

Life,

Like a river,

Always wants to go forward.

 

Život,

Kao i reka,

Hoće da stalno ide napred.

 

21,802

When aspiration descends,

How can life ascend?

   Impossible!

 

Kad težnja opada,

Kako život može da se uspinje?

   Nemoguće!

 

21,803

A self-conquered man

   Can master

      His fate.

 

Čovek koji je ovladao sobom

   Može da ovlada

      Svojom sudbinom.

 

21,804

Unlike the ordinary life,

In the spiritual life

Every moment counts,

Every moment is extremely valuable.

 

Za razliku od običnog života,

U duhovnom životu

Svaki trenutak se računa,

Svaki trenutak izuzetno je vredan.

 

21,805

Every day

Your imagination-mind

Aspiration-heart

And dedication-life

   Fly together.

 

Svakog dana,

Tvoj maštoviti um

Srce koje teži

I posvećeni život

   Zajedno lete.

 

21,806

Tell others

When you adore them.

Do not delay!

Your adoration

Will be rewarded inwardly

By those whom you adore.

 

Kad ih obožavaš,

Reci to drugima.

Ne odlaži!

Tvoje obožavanje

Iznutra će nagraditi

Oni koje obožavaš.

 

21,807

We want to live fast,

But God wants us

   To live deep.

 

Mihoćemo da živimo brzo,

Ali Bog hoće

   Da živimo duboko.

 

21,808

Value your heart-dreams

And not your mind-dreams,

For mind dreams, at times,

Are nothing other than

   Hallucionations.

 

Ceni snove svog srca,

A ne snove svog uma,

Jer su snovi uma ponekad

   Puke halucinacije.

 

21,809

Death

Is at once

An equaliser

And harmoniser.

 

Smrt je

Istovremeno

Ujednačivač

I usklađivač.

 

21,810

Before life wants to tame you,

Start taming life.

God will be the first one

   To help you.

 

Pre nego što život poželi da te ukroti,

Počni da krotiš život.

Bog će ti prvi

   Priskočiti u pomoć.

 

21,811

The time to be really happy

   Is now,

Here at the very place

   Where you are.

 

Trenutak da budeš zaista srećan

   Je sada,

Baš na tom mestu

   Gde jesi.

 

21,812

The world belongs

To the world-lovers

   And not

To the world-preachers.

 

Svet pripada

Onima koji vole svet,

   A ne

Onima koji propovedaju svetu.

 

21,813

Be your adamantine will.

You can easily go forward,

No matter what happens

   On the way.

 

Budi svoja nepokolebljiva volja.

Lako ćeš ići napred,

Bez obzira šta se desi

   Usput.

 

21,814

For a spiritual seeker,

To hope is to live,

For to live is to fulfill God

   In God’s own Way.

 

Za duhovnog tragaoca,

Nadati se znači živeti,

Jer živeti znači ispuniti Boga

   Na Božji sopstveni Način.

 

21,815

There should never be an end

   To our learning

Or our unlearning.

 

   Ni našem učenju

Ni našem odučavanju

Ne bi trebalo da bude kraja.

 

21,816

We cannot avoid

   Great falls

Unless we consciously avoid

   The little ones first.

 

Ne možemo izbeći

   Velike padove

Ukoliko svesno ne izbegavamo

   One male.

 

21,817

Every day

You can be true to yourself

   A little more.

 

Svakog dana

Možeš biti malo više

   Veran sebi.

 

21,818

At every moment

I wish to be intensely devoted

To please my Lord’s divine Will.

 

U svakom trenutku

Želim da budem intenzivno posvećen

Udovoljenju Božanskoj Volji mog Gospoda.

 

21,819

Good enaugh

Is nowhere near

   Excellence.

 

Dovoljno dobar

Nije ni blizu

   Savršenstva.

 

21,820

I had two realisations:

No one is indinspensible;

No one is infallible.

 

Imao sam dve spoznaje:

Niko nije nezamenljiv:

Niko nije nepogrešiv.

 

21,821

Talk can be cheap,

But action can be

Extremely expensive

   And expansive.

 

Pričanje može da prođe jeftino,

Ali delovanje može da košta

Izuzetno skupo

   I da zahvati sve.

 

21,822

My God-surrender-heart

   Is its own

Invaluable reward.

 

Moje srce predano Bogu

   Samo je sebi

Neprocenjiva nagrada.

 

 

21,823

The music of the heart

   Begins

Where the words of the mind

   Stop.

 

Muzika srca

   Počinje

Tamo gde prestaju

   Reči uma.

 

21,824

The more we control

   Our thinking,

The longer God extols

   Our achievements.

 

Što više kontrolišemo

   Svoje mišljenje,

To duže Bog veliča

   Naša dostignuća.

 

21,825

Great men

Always feel that

They are very great.

 

Veliki ljudi

Uvek osećaju da su

Veoma veliki.

 

21,826

Good men

Never feel that

They are good enaugh.

 

Dobri ljudi

Nikad ne osećaju da su

Dovoljno dobri.

 

21,827

The human mind

Monopolises.

 

Ljudski um

Monopolizuje.

 

21,828

The divine mind

Visualise.

 

Božanski um

Vizualizuje.

 

21,829

The human heart

   Has

The God-dream.

 

Ljudsko srce

   Sanja

San o Bogu.

 

21,830

The divine heart

   Manifests

The God-dream.

 

Božansko srce

   Ispoljava

San o Bogu.

 

21,831

Our dreams

Are nothing short of

Our personal stories.

 

Naši snovi

Nisu ništa drugo

Do naše lične priče.

 

21,832

Opportunities Do not wait for us

If we treasure

Our too-much thinking.

 

Prilike

Ne čekaju na nas

Ako volimo

Da predugo razmišljamo.

 

21,833

One of the main faults

   Of a fool

Is that he never changes

   His mind.

 

Jedna od glavnih mana

   Budalaste osobe

Jeste to da ona nikad ne menja

   Svoje mišljenje.

 

21,834

He who thinks and feels that

   Every change

Has a special significance

Is, indeed, extremely wise.

 

Onaj ko misli i oseća

   Da svaka promena

Ima poseban značaj

Zaista je izuzetno mudar.

 

21,835

I love doing good things

Because I want to,

And not because

I am compelled to.

 

Volim da činim dobre stvari

Zato što to želim,

A ne zato

Što sam prisiljen.

 

21,836

Here and now

Is the only real time.

Dream not of a better time.

 

Sada i ovde

Jedino je stvarno vreme.

Ne sanjaj o boljem vremenu.

 

21,837

May my God-thirsty mind

And God-hungry heart

Forever live together.

 

Neka moj um žedan Boga

I moje srce gladno Boga

Zauvek žive zajedno.

 

21,838

Long before

My heart starts hungering

   For God,

God's Compassion-Eye comes down

   To feed my heart.

 

Mnogo pre nego što

Moje srce počne da oseća glad

   Za Bogom,

Božje Samilosno Oko silazi

   Da nahrani moje srce.

 

21,839

In the outer world,

Everything is

   Expensive.

 

U spoljašnjem svetu,

Sve je

   Skupo.

 

21,840

In the inner world,

Everything is

   Expansive.

 

U unutrašnjem svetu,

Sve je

   U procesu širenja.

 

21,841

Whenever you give,

Give generously

Plus anonymously,

To please God

In His own Way.

 

Kad god daješ,

Daji velikodušno

I anonimno, Da bi udovoljio Bogu

Na Njegov sopstveni Način.

 

21,842

Do not shout!

God has big Ears.

 

Ne viči!

Bog ima velike uši.

 

21,843

Do nod shout!

Humanitys has no ears.

 

Ne viči!

Čovečanstvo nema ušiju.

 

21,844

The animal in us

Wants to rule us.

 

Životinja u nama

Hoće da vlada nama.

 

21,845

The human in us

Wants to rule

   The world.

 

Ljudsko u nama

Hoće

   Da vlada svetom.

 

21,846

The divine in us

Wants to love

  The world.

 

Božansko u nama

Hoće

   Da voli svet.

 

21,847

Go forward!

Dive inward!

Fly upward!

Daring is the best form

   Of loving God.

 

Idi napred!

Roni unutra!

Leti naviše!

Usuditi se - najbolji je oblik

   Ljubavi prema Bogu.

 

21,848

The divine in us

Sees everything

Through the heart-telescope.

 

Božansko u nama

Vidi sve

Kroz teleskop srca.

 

21,849

The human in us

Sees everything

Through the nimd-microscope.

Ljudsko u nama

Vidi sve

Kroz mikroskop uma.

 

21,850

Hope has the capacity

To see the beauty

And enjoy the fragrance

   Of the future.

 

Nada ima sposobnost

Da vidi lepotu

I uživa u mirisu

   Budućnosti.

 

21,851

Rise early.

Achieve abundantly

   During the day.

 

Ustani rano.

Postigni mnogo

   Tokom dana.

 

21,852

Sleep early.

Dream sweetly

   Every night.

 

Lezi rano.

Sanjaj slatko

   Svake noći.

 

21,853

If we cannot control

Each and every thought,

We are forced to become

The prefect slaves of thought.

 

Ako nismo u stanju da kontrolišemo

Svaku misao,

Prisiljeni smo da postanemo

Potpuni robovi misli.

 

21,854

Things could be worse:

This is, indeed, a real way

Of seeing light

   In everything.

 

Stvari bi mogle da budu gore:

To je, zaista, pravi način

Da se vidi svetlost

   U svemu.

 

21,855

I give myself away

Because I want to,

Not because I am supposed to.

 

Ja se dajem

Zato što to hoću,

Ne zato što tako treba.

 

21,856

If you pay all attention

   To pleasing God,

God will definitely come

   To your heart-door.

 

Ako svu pažnju obraćaš na to

   Da udovoljiš Bogu,

Bog će svakako doći

   Na vrata tvog srca.

 

21,857

If you want to be perfect

   In your life,

Then do not allow anything

   To remain a mystery.

 

Ako hoćeš da postaneš savršen

   U svom životu,

Ne dopusti ničemu da

   Ostane misterija.

 

21,858

Power enjoys power.

Happiness enjoys happiness.

I enjoy mu Lord's Feet.

 

Moć uživa u moći.

Sreća uživa u sreći.

Ja uživam u Stopalima mog Gospoda.

 

21,859

If you are not honest

   With yourself,

God will not be Himself

   With you.

 

Ako ti nisi iskren

   Prema sebi,

Ni Bog neće biti Onakav Kakav Jeste

   Prema tebi.

 

21,860

Every day

Illumine your mind-way

With your heart's searchlight.

 

Svakog dana

Osvetli put svoga uma

Reflektorom svoga srca.

 

21,861

If your heart

Does not reach down,

How can your life

Lift any human being

   On earth?

 

Ako se tvoje srce

Ne sagne na dole,

Kako će tvoj život

Uzdići bilo koje ljudsko biće

   Na svetu?

 

21,862

Joy is something

   We give

And also something we look for

   To make ourselves perfect.

 

Radost je nešto

   Što dajemo,

A takođe i nešto za čim tragamo

   Da bismo učinili sebe savršenim.

 

21,863

Happiness shared

   Is

Maximised.

 

Sreća koja se podeli

Maksimalno se

Uveća.

 

21,864

Sadness shared

   Is

Minimised.

 

Tuga koja se podeli

Umanji se.

 

21,865

My aspiration-heart-happiness

Has no parallel.

 

Sreća mog srca težnje

Nema premca.

 

21,866

Opinion has only

One very weak eye.

 

Mišljenje ima

Samo jedno veoma slabo oko.

 

21,867

Facts have

Two perfect eyes.

 

Činjenice imaju

Dva savršena oka.

 

21,868

Reason and faith

Start walking together.

After some time

Reason gets tired.

Faith continues

And reaches the destination.

 

Razum i vera

Počinju da idu zajedno.

Nakon nekog vremena

Razum se umori.

Vera nastavlja

I stiže do cilja.

 

21,869

The outer education

Gives us

Information.

 

Spoljašnje obrazovanje

Pruža nam

Informaciju.

 

21,870

The inner education

Gives us

God-illumination.

 

Unutrašnje obrazovanje

Daje nam

Boga-prosvetljenje.

 

21,871

Hope is

Our most faithful friend.

It dies only when we die.

 

Nada je

Naš najverniji prijatelj.

Ona umire jedino kad i mi umremo.

 

21,872

Do not allow

Your mind's darkness

To contrast and challenge

Your heart's wisdom-light.

 

Ne dozvoli

Tami tvog uma

Da se suprotstavlja i izaziva

Svetlost mudrosti tvog srca.

 

21,873

Remember, by any means,

The day you first prayed

   To God

With all your heart.

 

Zapamti, na svaki način,

Dan kad si se prvi put molio

   Bogu

Od sveg srca.

 

21,874

You are the one

To encourage

The divine in you

   To far surpass

Not only the undivine in you,

But also the human in you.

 

Ti si onaj

Koji treba da ohrabri

Božansko u tebi

   Da daleko prevaziđe

Ne samo nebožansko u tebi,

Već i ljudsko u tebi.

 

21,875

Strive for

Your God-closeness-heart.

   You will succeed.

 

Teži za

Tvojim srcem bliskosti sa Bogom.

   Uspećeš.

 

21,876

Strive for

Your God-surrender-life.

   You will succeed.

 

Teži za

Tvojim životom predaje Bogu.

   Uspećeš.

 

21,877

Strive for

Your God-satisfaction-breath.

Lo, your success is

Right in front of you.

 

Teži za

Tvojim dahom udovoljenja Bogu.

Gle, tvoj uspeh je

Tik pred tobom.

 

21,878

There is always room

Inside our aspiration-heart

For humanity to enjoy

A heart-delight-vacation.

 

U našem srcu težnje

Uvek ima mesta

Da čovečanstvo uživa

U prazniku blaženstva srca.

 

21,879

Anything divine

That we want to give

   To the world

Must be given spontaneously.

 

Sve božansko

Što želimo da damo

  Svetu

Mora se dati spontano.

 

21,880

   If your heart

Is interested in others,

   Then your life

Is bound to be interesting.

 

   Ako je tvoje srce

 Zainteresovano za druge,

   Onda će i tvoj život

Sigurno biti interesantan.

 

21,881

Our way of perfection

Does not guarantee

God-satisfacion.

 

Naše viđenje savršenstva

Ne garantuje

Božje zadovoljstvo.

 

21,882

Our prayer-life

Must not be

A beggar-life.

 

Naš život molitve

Ne sme biti

Prosjački život.

 

21,883

Our prayer-life

Must be

A God-fulfilment-choice.

 

Naš život molitve

Mora biti

Izbor ispunjenja Boga.

 

21,884

Forget yesterday,

If you want to be

A perfect enjoyer

   Of today.

 

Zaboravi juče

Ako hoćeš

Da savršeno uživaš

   U današnjem danu.

 

21,885

Those who criticise

Do not know how

   To fertilise

Their heart-ground.

 

Oni koji kritikuju

Ne znaju kako

   Da učine plodnim

Tlo svoga srca.

 

21,886

When we do something

For the betterment

   Of the world,

Enlightenment beckons us.

 

Kad učinimo nešto

Za boljitak    Sveta,

Prosvetljenje nas doziva.

 

21,887

No divine thing

Has to be defined.

It has only

To be recognised.

 

Nijedna božanska stvar

Ne mora se definisati.

Ona se jedino

Mora prepoznati.

 

21,888

Our inner silence

   Preserves

Our outer dignity.

 

Naša unutrašnja tišina

   Čuva

Naše unutrašnje dostojanstvo.

 

21,889

If you really want

To love and serve

   The world,

Then you must take the world

   As it is.

 

Ako zaista želiš

Da voliš i služiš

   Svet,

Onda moraš prihvatiti svet

   Takav kakav je.

 

21,890

If you forget to dream

Of higher realities,

The higher realities

Will never be manifested.

 

Ako zaboraviš da sanjaš

O višim stvarnostima,

Te više stvarnosti

Nikad se neće ispoljiti.

 

21,891

To please God

And to offer Him happiness

   At every moment,

What I need is utmost eagerness

   In my aspiration heart.

 

Da bih udovoljio Bogu

I ponudio Mu sreću

   U svakom trenutku,

Potrebna mi je krajnja revnost

   U mom srcu težnje.

 

21,892

To bring newness and freshness

   Into the dry mind,

Humour is of paramount importance.

 

Humor je vrhunski važan

Da bi se unela novina i svežina

   U suvoparni um.

 

21,893

My Lord,

You are telling me

That I am not supposed to know

   The future.

But please tell me

If You have any objection

To my walking with You

Early in the morning and in the evening

With my heart-tears and my soul-smiles.

 

Moj Gospode,

Kažeš mi

Da ne bi trebalo da znam

   Budućnost.

Ali, molim te, reci mi

Imaš li nešto protiv

Da hodam sa tobom

Rano ujutro i uveče

Sa suzama mog srca i osmesima moje duše?

 

21,894

God tells me to keep aside

My reasoning mind.

He wants me only to obey

The promptings of my soul

   Inside my heart.

 

Bog mi kaže da držim po strani

Moj um koji razmišlja.

On hoće da slušam jedino

Šapate moje duše

   Unutar mog srca.

 

21,895

The seeker has to be

Completely flexible

To make genuine and fast progress

   In his spiritual life.

 

Tragalac mora da bude

Sasvim fleksibilan

Da bi istinski i brzo napredovao

   U svom duhovnom životu.

 

21,896

God leads us

In unexpected ways.

We must have implicit faith in Him.

His Compassion-Eye 

Will never guide us amiss.

 

Bog nas vodi

Na neočekivane načine.

Moramo Mu čvrsto verovati.

Njegovo Samilosno Oko

Nikad nas neće zavesti.

 

21,897

I love to watch

My Lord's

Beaming smiles.

 

Volim da gledam

Sjajne osmehe

Mog Gospoda.

 

21,898

My Lord loves to become one

With my heart's

Streaming tears.

 

Moj Gospod voli da postane jedno

Sa bujicom suza

Mog srca.

 

21,899

My Lord unconditionally

   Wants to be

My burden-bearer.

 

Moj Gospod želi da

   Bezuslovno ponese

Moj teret.

 

21,900

I want to be my Lord's

   Universal

Victory-proclaimer.

 

Hoću da proglasim

   Sveopštu

Pobedu mog Gospoda.
