14605. The outer freedom Has a short breath. The inner freedom Is at once birthless and deathless. 14605. Spoljašnja sloboda Kratkog je daha. Unutrašnja sloboda Je bez početka i bez kraja. 14638. Alas, every day My thought-train Runs to the wrong destination, And stops there! 14638. Avaj, svakog dana Voz mojih misli Vozi do pogrešne stanice I tamo se zaustavlja! 14645. God does not mind When He sees in us Teeming imperfections. But He does mind When He sees in us An iota of unwillingness. 14645. Bog ne mari Kad vidi u nama Obilje nesavršenosti. Ali ne voli Da vidi u nama Makar samo mrvicu bezvoljnosti. 14648. Humanity weeps Not because it is neglected And rejected. Humanity weeps and has to weep Because God's Satisfaction with humanity Is still a very far cry. 14648. Čovečanstvo plače Ne zato što je zapostavljeno I odbačeno. Čovečanstvo plače i mora da plače Zato što je Božje Zadovoljstvo čovečanstvom Još uvek samo vapaj u daljini. 14649. My Lord Supreme, I see Your Infinity's blue sky, But I see not the divinity Of my soul-bird. Alas, where is it? Where is it? 14649. Moj Gospode Svevišnji, Vidim plavo nebo Tvog Beskraja, Ali ne vidim božanstvenost Moje ptice-duše. Avaj, gde je? Gde je? 14656. Although I am evading my soul These days, My soul maintains the same concern, The same affection And the same responsibility for me. 14656. Iako izbegavam moju dušu Ovih dana, Moja duša zadržava istu brigu, Istu naklonost I istu odgovornost prema meni. 14662. Play your role! Make soulful efforts To build your oneness-bridge With God. God will definitely and proudly Use it. 14662. Igraj svoju ulogu! Trudi se duševno Da sagradiš most tvog jedinstva S Bogom. Bog će sigurno i s ponosom Da ga koristi. 14670. The blame for humanity's mistakes, Humanity does not want to take. My Lord says once a mistake is made, Somebody has to accept the blame. Therefore, my Lord is all ready To accept the blame For humanity's mistakes. 14670. Odgovornost za greške čovečanstva, Čovečanstvo ne želi da prihvati. Moj Gospod kaže da kad se jednom pogreši, Neko mora da prihvati odgovornost. I stoga je moj Gospod sav spreman Da prihvati odgovornost Za greške čovečanstva. 14671. Who says that you do not love God? You do love God - Unfortunately, not exactly in His Way. 14671. Ko kaže da ne voliš Boga? Ti voliš Boga - Na žalost, ne baš na Njegov Način. 14673. Just be positive In everything that you say and do. Your mind will escape the poison Of self-created negativity. 14673. Samo budi pozitivan U svemu što govoriš i činiš. Tvoj um će izbeći otrov Samostvorene negativnosti. 14678. The love that can only forgive But not forget, According to me, Is not a perfect love. 14678. Ljubav koja ume samo da oprosti, Ali ne i da zaboravi, Po meni Nije savršena ljubav. 14680. No matter how hard we try, Consciously or unconsciously, We cannot push God's Patience Beyond our life's boundary. 14680. Bez obzira koliko zapinjemo, Svesno ili nesvesno, Ne možemo da izguramo Božje Strpljenje Van granica našeg života. 14682. Who says that God does not forget? God does forget To use His Justice-Hammer Even when I consciously do a wrong thing. 14682. Ko kaže da Bog ne zaboravlja? Bog zaboravlja Da koristi Čekić Njegove Pravde Čak i kad ja svesno postupam pogrešno.
