Deset hiljada cvet-plamenova, deo 98, knjiga izdata 1983. godine.
9711. YOUR UNWILLINGNESS TO CHANGE
My Lord Supreme, I know, I know,
My insincerity, my impurity
And my doubt hurt You.
Is there anything else that hurts You?
"Yes, My child, there is something else.
Your unwillingness to change your nature
Hurts Me infinitely, infinitely more
Than your insincerity, impurity and doubt."
9711. TVOJA NEVOLJNOST DA SE MENJAŠ
Moj Gospode Svevišnji, znam, znam,
Moja nesigurnost, moja nečistota
I moja sumnja povređuju Te.
Ima li još nešto što Te povređuje?
"Da, dete Moje, ima još nešto.
Tvoja nevoljnost da promeniš tvoju prirodu
Povređuje Me beskrajno, beskrajno više
Nego tvoja nesigurnost, nečistota i sumnja."
9716. GIVE AND BECOME
Soulfully give what you have.
You will realise
That you have given nothing.
Consciously become what you are.
You will realise
That you have become everything:
A perfect instrument
Of your Beloved Supreme.
9716. DAJ I POSTANI
Duševno daj ono što imaš.
Shvatićeš
Da nisi dao ništa.
Svesno postani ono što jesi.
Shvatićeš
Da si postao sve:
Savršeni instrument
Tvog Voljenog Svevišnjeg.
9722. YOUR HEART'S DOOR
Keep your heart's door closed.
You will see that your own success
Is no success at all.
Keep your heart's door open.
You will see that the success of others
Is also your success.
9722. VRATA TVOG SRCA
Drži vrata svog srca zatvorena.
Videćeš da tvoj lični uspeh
Uopšte nije uspeh.
Drži vrata svog srca otvorena.
Videćeš da je uspeh drugih
Takođe i tvoj uspeh.
9725. YOUR HEROIC EFFORT
The determination in your heroic effort
Will permeate your mind and heart
Even after your success or failure
Is long forgotten.
9725. TVOJ HEROJSKI POKUŠAJ
Odlučnost u tvom herojskom pokušaju
Prožimaće tvoj um i srce
Čak i kad tvoj uspeh ili neuspeh
Bude već davno zaboravljen.
9728. THE DARK IGNORANCE-TUNNEL
The dark ignorance-tunnel
May seem endless to you,
But he who has already passed through it
Knows it is only a matter of time
Before you will also emerge
Into the effulgence of God's infinite Light.
9728. MRAČNI TUNEL NEZNANJA
Mračni tunel neznanja
Može ti izgledati beskrajan,
Ali onaj ko je već prošao kroz njega
Zna da je samo pitanje vremena
Kad ćeš i ti izroniti
U bljesak Božje beskrajne Svetlosti.
9730. THE NATURE OF DIVINE FRIENDSHIP
The nature of divine friendship:
If one friend loses,
The other's oneness-heart will break.
If one friend wins,
The other's oneness-heart will make him feel
It is he who has won.
9730. PRIRODA BOŽANSKOG PRIJATELJSTVA
Priroda božanskog prijateljstva:
Ako jedan prijatelj izgubi,
Srce jedinstva onog drugog će prepući.
Ako jedan prijatelj pobedi,
Srce jedinstva onog drugog će učiniti da oseća
Da je on pobedio.
9731. THE ULTIMATE VICTORY Although God is prepared to fail Every day, every hour and every minute When he deals with our human nature, He knows that His is the ultimate Victory. 9731. KONAČNA POBEDA Iako je Bog spreman na neuspeh Svakog dana, svakog sata i svakog minuta Dok radi na našoj ljudskoj prirodi, On zna da će na kraju Pobeda biti Njegova.
9732. CHERISH ONLY THE DIVINE FEAR
Human fear is absolutely useless!
Why be afraid of anybody or anything?
Cherish only the divine fear
That you may do something
Which will bring suffering
To your Beloved Supreme.
9732. NEGUJ SAMO BOŽANSKI STRAH
Ljudski strah je apsolutno beskorisan!
Zašto se plašiti nekog ili nečeg?
Neguj samo božanski strah
Da bi mogao da učiniš nešto
Što bi nanelo bol
Tvom Voljenom Svevišnjem.
9733. IF YOU CAN IDENTIFY
If you can identify
With your friend's achievements,
You will share his happiness.
If you cannot identify
With your friend's achievements,
You will act like his worst enemy
In the inner world.
9733. AKO UMEŠ DA SE POISTOVETIŠ
Ako umeš da se poistovetiš
S postignućima tvog prijatelja,
Podelićeš njegovu radost.
Ako ne umeš da se poistovetiš
S postignućima tvog prijatelja,
Ponašaćeš se kao njegov najgori neprijatelj
U unutrašnjem svetu.
9734. YOU WILL NEVER BE BLESSED
If you cannot conquer
Your outer greed,
You will never be blessed
With an abiding inner hunger.
9734. NIKAD NEĆEŠ BITI BLAGOSLOVLJEN
Ako ne možeš da pobediš
Svoju spoljašnju halapljivost,
Nikad nećeš biti blagoslovljen
Trajnom unutrašnjom glađu.
9735. THE FIRST RUNG
Determination is the first rung
On the evolution-ladder,
Not only for unaspiring people
But also for those
Who have wholeheartedly accepted
The spiritual life.
9735. PRVA PREČKA
Odlučnost je prva prečka
Na lestvici evolucije
Ne samo za ljude koji ne teže,
Već i za one
Koji su celim srcem prihvatili
Duhovni život.
9737. I SEE FAILURE ALL AROUND
Although I see failure
All around me,
I shall always strive to maintain
My inner oneness with God.
9737. VIDIM NEUSPEH SVUDA OKOLO
Iako vidim neuspeh
Svuda okolo,
Uvek ću se truditi da održim
Moje unutrašnje jedinstvo sa Bogom.
9738. IF YOU HAVE THE CAPACITY
If you have the capacity
To please God for one day,
Then, without fail,
You have the capacity
To please Him always.
9738. AKO IMAŠ SPOSOBNOST
Ako imaš sposobnost
Da zadovoljiš Boga jednog dana,
Onda bez greške
Imaš sposobnost
Da Ga zadovoljiš uvek.
9741. A REPRESENTATIVE OF GOD
If you want to realise who you are,
Then start acting like
A representative of God
And not a representative of ignorance.
9741. BOŽJI PREDSTAVNIK
Ako želiš da spoznaš ko si,
Počni da se ponašaš
Kao Božji predstavnik,
A ne kao predstavnik neznanja.
9743. POSITIVE ENERGY
Curiosity cannot create
Positive energy.
Sincerity can not only create
Positive energy,
But can also offer it to others.
9743. POZITIVNA ENERGIJA
Radoznalost ne može da stvori
Pozitivnu energiju.
Iskrenost ne samo da može da stvori
Pozitivnu energiju,
Već takođe može i da je prenese na druge.
9746. STRUGGLE AGAINST DARKNESS!
Struggle!
Struggle vehemently against darkness!
Your soul, the blue bird inside your heart,
Desperately wants from you
The transformation of your earth-life.
9746. BORI SE PROTIV MRAKA!
Bori se!
Bori se ogorčeno protiv mraka!
Tvoja duša, plava ptica u tvom srcu,
Očajnički želi od tebe
Preobražaj tvog zemaljskog života.
9769. WHEN YOU SPEAK ILL OF OTHERS
When you speak ill of others,
You have already exposed
Your own inner weakness
To the outer world.
9769. KAD GOVORIŠ LOŠE O DRUGIMA
Kad govoriš loše o drugima,
Već si izložio
Svoju sopstvenu unutrašnju slabost
Pred spoljašnjim svetom.
9771. A STRONG CURIOSITY
The mind says to the heart,
"I am not ready
And I may never be ready
To pray to God,
But I have a strong curiosity
To see God.
Therefore, will you not take me
In your boat
And pilot me to the Golden Shore?"
9771. JAKA RADOZNALOST
Um kaže srcu:
"Ja nisam spreman
I možda nikad neću biti spreman
Da se molim Bogu,
Ali sam jako radoznao
Da vidim Boga.
Zar nećeš, dakle, da me uzmeš
Na tvoj brod
I da me odvezeš do Zlatne Obale?"
9780. MY UNMISTAKABLE CONVICTION
I always belong
At my Lord's Forgiveness-Feet:
This is my absolutely
Unmistakable conviction.
9780. MOJE NEPOGREŠIVO UVERENJE
Moje je mesto uvek
Uz Stopala Praštanja mog Gospoda.
To je moje apsolutno
Nepogrešivo uverenje.
