A MARATHON RUN

            A marathon run

Is not fun.

It is an unspeakably

            Serious matter.

 

            A marathon run

Turns me into an orphan-life:

            No father, no mother,

            Helpless and hopeless.

 

307.

TRČANJE MARATONA

            Trčanje maratona

Nije šala.

Ono je neizrecivo

            Ozbiljna stvar.

 

            Trčanje maratona

Pretvara me u dete:

            Bez oca, bez majke,

            Bespomoćno i bez nade.

 

 

 

317.

WHY AM I SO TIRED?

Why am I so tired?

I am tired

            Not because I work very hard,

            Not because I sleep too little,

But because I think too much.

 

317.

ZAŠTO SAM TAKO UMORAN?

Zašto sam tako umoran?

            Ne zato što naporno radim,

            Ne zato što nedovoljno spavam,

Već zato što previše razmišljam.

 

 

 

320.

INSIDE I LIVE

            Inside I live

Soulfully and sleeplessly.

            Outside I give

Generously and unconditionally.

 

320.

IZNUTRA ŽIVIM

            Iznutra živim

Duševno i besano.

            Spolja dajem

Velikodušno i bezrezevno.

 

 

 

329.

THE REAL REALITY

The real reality

Is a simple simplicity,

            And not a complexity.

Complexity has never been related to reality.

 

329.

STVARNA STVARNOST

Stvarna stvarnost

Je jednostavna jednostavnost,

            A ne kompleksnost.

Kompleksnost nikad nije bila ni u kakvoj vezi sa stvarnošću.

 

 

 

346.

I SEE A GARDEN

I see a garden

            In your face.

 

I see a rose

            In your heart.

 

I see celestial beauty

            In your eyes.

 

346.

VIDIM CVETNI VRT

Vidim cvetni vrt

            U tvom licu.

 

Vidim ružu

            U tvom srcu.

 

Vidim nebesku lepotu

            U tvojim očima.

 

 

 

353.

YOUR HOME

Your ignorance-night tells you

There is no home for you,

            There is no home.

 

Your wisdom-light tells you

The entire universe is your home,

            The entire universe.

 

353.

TVOJ DOM

Tvoja noć neznanja kaže ti:

Nema doma za tebe,

            Nema doma.

 

Tvoje svetlo mudrosti kaže ti:

Ceo univerzum je tvoj dom,

            Ceo univerzum.

 

 

 

360.

YOUR GOD-ORDAINED TASK

Try not to put others right;

That is God's task.

Try to put yourself right;

Indeed, that is your God-ordained task.

 

360.

ZADATAK KOJI SI DOBIO OD BOGA

Ne pokušavaj da popraviš druge,

To je Božji posao.

Pokušaj da popraviš sebe,

Zaista, to je zadatak koji si dobio od Boga.

 

 

 

361.

ASPIRATION TELLS ME

Aspiration tells me that my God is

            Compassion-Mother.

Realisation tells me that my God is

            Liberation-Father.

God-oneness tells me that my God is

            Perfection-Friend.

 

361.

TEŽNJA MI KAŽE

Težnja mi kaže da je moj Bog

            Majka – Samilost.

Ostvarenje mi kaže da je moj Bog

            Otac – Oslobođenje.

Jedinstvo s Bogom mi kaže da je moj Bog

            Prijatelj – Savršenstvo.

 

 

 

368.

FRIEND AND FOE

In Heaven and on earth

I have only one friend:

            The same old God.

 

Within and without

I have only one foe:

            The same old Chinmoy.

 

368.

PRIJATELJ I NEPRIJATELJ

Na Nebu i na zemlji

Ja imam samo jednog prijatelja:

            Uvek istog Boga.

 

Iznutra i spolja

Ja imam samo jednog neprijatelja:

            Uvek istog Činmoja.

 

 

 

370.

DON'T BLAME GOD

Don't blame God.

He is sincerely trying

To help you out.

 

Don't blame yourself.

By blaming yourself

You cannot arrive

At the perfection-satisfaction-door.

 

Just love God a little more;

Just think of yourself a little less.

Lo and behold,

All your untold problems are solved.

 

370.

NE KRIVI BOGA

Ne krivi Boga.

On se iskreno trudi

Da ti pomogne.

 

Ne krivi sebe.

Ako kriviš sebe

Ne možeš da stigneš

Do vrata savršenstva i zadovoljstva.

 

Samo voli Boga malo više.

Samo misli o sebi malo manje.

Gle, gle!

Svi tvoji neizrecivi problemi su rešeni.

 

 

 

388.

NOTHING ELSE GOD WANTS FROM YOU

Arouse the body.

Cleanse the vital.

Correct the mind.

Open the heart.

Nothing else God wants from you.

 

388.

BOG NE TRAŽI OD TEBE NIŠTA VIŠE

Probudi telo.

Pročisti vital.

Ispravi um.

Otvori srce.

Bog ne traži od tebe ništa više.

 

 

 

391.

EVERY ASPIRATION-DAY

Every aspiration-day

Begins with new possibilities.

 

Every aspiration-day

Ends with new achievements.

 

391.

SVAKI DAN TEŽNJE

Svaki dan težnje

Počinje s novim mogućnostima.

 

Svaki dan težnje

Završava se s novim postignućima.
