7,704.

      I desire

To become great.

      I aspire

To become good.

      I surrender

To become perfect.

      Želim

Da bih postao veliki.

      Težim

Da bih postao dobar.

      Predajem se

Da bih postao savršen.

7,705.

Do not feel sad!

God is definitely going to do

Something extraordinary

With your failure.

Ne budi tužan!

Bog će definitivno da učini

Nešto izuzetno

Sa tvojim neuspehom.

7,707.

Ask your mind how far away

      You are from God.

Ask your heart how close

      You are to God.

Pitaj svoj um koliko si daleko

      Od Boga.

Pitaj svoje srce koliko si blizu

      Bogu.

7,712.

      You do not understand.

Therefore, you cricise.

      You criticise.

Therefore, you will remain

      Unfulfulled.

      Ne razumeš.

Zato kritikuješ.

      Kritikuješ.

Zato ćeš ostati

      Neispunjen.

7,720.

      No matter what I do,

The outer world ridicules me.

      No matter what I do,

The inner world loves me.

      Bez obzira šta radim,

Spoljašnji svet mi se podsmeva.

      Bez obzira šta radim,

Unutrašnji svet me voli.

7,722.

      God does not ask me

What I know about Him.

      He only wants to know

How much I know about myself.

      Bog me ne pita

Šta znam o Njemu.

      On samo želi da zna

Koliko znam o sebi.

7,731.

Whether you accept or reject it,

God's Love for you

      Is permanent.

Bilo da je prihvataš ili odbacuješ,

Božja Ljubav prema tebi

      Je trajna.

7,748.

Have a mind

      Without doubts,

Not a life

      Without a mind.

Imaj um

      Bez sumnji,

A ne život

      Bez uma.

7,756.

You are quite advanced

The moment you feel

That yours is not the only way.

Prilično si napredan

Kad osetiš

Da tvoj put nije jedini.

7,757.

      Be wise!

Ask your heart

      To feel,

And do not ask your mind

      To understand.

      Budi mudar!

Traži od svog srca

      Da oseća,

Ne traži od svog uma

      Da razume.

7,768.

My life is only half full

      When I receive.

My heart is completely full

      Only when I give.

Moj život je samo napola ispunjen

      Kad dobijam.

Moje srce je kompletno puno

      Jedino kad dajem.

7,799.

I know only one path,

And this path does not demand.

It does not even expect.

Ja znam samo jednu stazu,

A ta staza ne zahteva.

Čak ni ne očekuje.
