Dvadeset-sedam hiljada izdanaka težnje, deo 20
1906.
My Lord Supreme,
Whom in this world
Should I obey?
"My sweet child,
Obey only the one who shows you
All kindness, all compassion
And all forgiveness.
Only he deserves
Your constant obedience."
1906.
Moj Gospode Svevišnji,
Kome na ovom svetu
Treba da budem poslušan?
Ljupko dete Moje,
Budi poslušan samo onome ko je prema tebi
Ljubaznost sama, samilost sama
I oproštaj sam.
Jedino on zaslužuje
Tvoju neprestanu poslušnost.
1915.
Why does everyone need a project?
Everyone does not need a project,
But if anyone wants to make
Very fast progress
In his spiritual life,
Then he definitely needs a project.
When he has a project,
God cheerfully and powerfully gives him
Three injections:
Inspiration-injection,
Consecration-injection
And perfection-injection.
1915.
Zašto svakom treba projekat?
Ne treba svakom projekat,
Ali ako neko želi da
Vrlo brzo napreduje
U svom duhovnom životu,
Onda mu definitivno treba projekat.
Kad ima projekat,
Bog mu radosno i moćno daje
Tri injekcije:
Injekciju nadahnuća,
Injekciju posvećenja
I injekciju savršenstva.
1944.
Do not expect others,
Who are in so many ways
As weak as you are,
If not worse,
To stop you from doing
The wrong thing.
It is only your prayer to God
That can eventually help you
Overcome your weaknesses.
1944.
Ne očekuj da te drugi,
Koji su na tako mnogo načina
Jednako slabi kao i ti,
Ako ne i gori,
Spreče da postupaš
Pogrešno.
Jedino ti tvoja molitva Bogu
Može eventualno pomoći
Da prevladaš svoje slabosti.
1971.
It is true
That no one worth possessing
Can ever be possessed.
But every rule
Admits of exception.
My Beloved Supreme is not only
Worth possessing,
But I can possess Him quite easily
On the strength of
My absolutely surrendered life.
1971.
Tačno je
Da se nikad niko vredan posedovanja
Ne može posedovati.
Ali svako pravilo
Dozvoljava izuzetak.
Moj Voljeni Svevišnji je ne samo
Vredan posedovanja,
Već Ga ja mogu sasvim lako posedovati
Snagom
Mog apsolutno predanog života.
1980.
How can you maintain purity
Throughout the day?
Just keep a flower with you
And look at it with a soulful smile
As soon as impurity
Tries to assail your mind.
1980.
Kako možeš da održiš čistotu
Tokom dana?
Nosi cvet sa sobom
I pogledaj ga s duševnim osmehom
Čim nečistota
Pokuša da napadne tvoj um.
1981.
A rich person can definitely
Realise God.
Lord Buddha was a prince.
Sri Ramachandra was a prince.
Janaka was a king.
Like that, there were
Quite a few rich people on earth
Who did realise God.
Again, there are some people
Now living on earth
Who are both materially and spiritually rich.
1981.
Bogat čovek definitivno može
Da ostvari Boga.
Gospod Buda je bio princ.
Šri Ramačandra je bio princ.
Đanaka je bio kralj.
Poput njih, bilo je
Puno bogatih ljudi na zemlji
Koji su ostvarili Boga.
Opet, ima ljudi
Koji trenutno žive na zemlji,
A koji su i materijalno i duhovno bogati.
1982.
How can you feel
The living Presence of God
All the time?
Cry for a sincerity-mind.
Cry for a purity-heart.
Cry for a divinity-life.
1982.
Kako možeš da osećaš
Živo Božje Prisustvo
Sve vreme?
Vapi za iskrenim umom.
Vapi za čistim srcem.
Vapi za božanskim životom.
1990.
Peace and dynamism
Must go together.
To His children of the East,
God has given peace
In boundless measure.
To His children of the West,
He has given dynamism
In boundless measure.
The combination of the two
Will make a perfect world-family.
1990.
Mir i dinamizam
Moraju da idu zajedno.
Svojoj deci na Istoku
Bog je dao mir
U beskrajnoj količini.
Svojoj deci na Zapadu
Dao je dinamizam
U beskrajnoj količini.
Njihova kombinacija
Stvoriće savršenu svetsku porodicu.
1998.
A Gift from the Supreme
May come at any time, any place,
And it always far surpasses
Human dreams.
1998.
Blagoslov Svevišnjeg
Može da dođe u svako vreme, na svakom mestu,
I uvek daleko nadmašuje
Čovekove snove.
