23,918.

When you are determined

            To face bravely

The difficulty ahead of you,

The difficulty itself surrenders to you –

            To your wide surprise.

 

23,918.

Kad si odlulučan

            Da se hrabro suočiš

S teškoćom,

Teškoća ti se sama predaje –

            Na tvoje veliko iznenađenje.

            A hero-warrior

Achieves extraordinary things

            In his life

Because he does not allow himself

To be pushed by destiny's wind.

 

23,922.

            Heroj-ratnik

Postiže izuzetne stvari

            U životu

Zato što ne dozvoljava sebi

Da ga gura vetar sudbine.

 

 

 

 

23,935.

The secret of secrets

Of the dearest child of God:

            God is dearest

Not because He is omniscient,

            Omnipotent and omnipresent,

                        But because He is all Love.

 

23,935.

Tajna nad tajnama

Najdražeg deteta Božjeg:

            Bog je najdraži

Ne zato što je sveznajući,

            Svemoćan i sveprisutan,

                        Već zato što je sav Ljubav.

I make myself five years old.

            When I do not meditate,

I become eighty years old.

            Kad meditiram duševno,

Postajem petogodišnje dete.

            Kad ne meditiram,

Postajem osamdesetogodišnji starac.

 

 

 

 

23,948.

Although you have already seen

            Thousands of days,

                        O seeker,

When tomorrow dawns,

You can create something absolutely new

            In your life.

 

23,948.

Iako si već video

            Hiljade dana,

                        O tragaoče,

Kad svane sutrašnji dan,

Možeš da stvoriš nešto apsolutno novo

            U tvom životu.

 

 

 

 

23,949.

You can constantly transcend yourself

            Only by discovering

And maintaining your inner joy.

Možeš neprestano da prevazilaziš sebe

            Jedino tako što ćeš da pronađeš

I održavaš svoju unutrašnju radost.

Physical brothers

            Appear and disappear,

But spiritual brothers

            Follow the path

Of eternal friends.

Fizička braća

            Dolaze i prolaze.

Duhovna braća

            Slede stazu

Večnog prijateljstva.

Our true satisfaction

            Entirely depends

On our own sincere inner cry.

Naše istinsko zadovoljstvo

            U potpunosti zavisi

Od našeg iskrenog unutrašnjeg vapaja.

If you work hard inwardly,

Automatically you will be blessed

            With gratitude.

Ako naporno radiš iznutra,

Automatski ćeš biti blagoslovljen

            Zahvalnošću.

There is no neutrality in life.

Either you are on God's Side,

Or you are on the side of ignorance.

 

23,960.

Nema neutralnosti u životu.

Ili si na Božjoj Strani,

Ili si na strani neznanja.

 

 

 

 

23,992.

            When I live in the desire-world,

I feel that I came into the world

Only to make myself happy.

            When I live in the aspiration-world,

I feel that I came into the world

Only to make myself perfect

For the Satisfaction of my Lord Supreme.

 

23,992.

            Kad živim u svetu želje,

Osećam da sam došao na svet

Samo da sebe učinim srećnim.

            Kad živim u svetu težnje,

Osećam da sam došao na svet

Samo da sebe učinim savršenim,

Da bih ugodio mom Gospodu Svevišnjem.
