6.

 

My Lord,

Inwardly I may argue with You

In season and out of season

But, rest assured,

If You are ever in need of me,

I will immediately throw myself

                Heart and soul

                At Your Feet.

 

 

6.

 

Moj Gospode,

Iznutra se možda raspravljam s Tobom

I kad treba i kad ne treba,

Ali budi spokojan,

Ako Ti ikad zatrebam,

Ja ću se smesta baciti

                Srcem i dušom

                Pred Tvoja Stopala.

 

 

 

 

11.

 

My Lord,

You have told me time and again

That when I am desperately

                In need of You,

You will come to my rescue.

My Lord,

I need You badly.

How is it that You are neglecting

Your Promise to me?

 

 

11.

 

Moj Gospode,

Rekao Si mi više puta:

Kad mi budeš očajnički

                Potreban,

Doći ćeš da me spasiš.

Moj Gospode,

Jako Si mi potreban.

Kako to da zanemaruješ

Svoje Obećanje?

 

 

 

 

13.

 

My Lord,

I am swimming

In the sea of ecstasy,

For You are deeply enjoying

                My heart-garden.

I am commanding my eyes

Not to lose sight of You,

Even for a fleeting second.

 

 

13.

 

Moj Gospode,

Plivam

U moru ekstaze,

Jer Ti duboko uživaš

                U vrtu mog srca.

Naredjujem mojim očima

Da Te ne gube iz vida,

Ni na delić sekunde.

 

 

 

 

17.

 

My Lord,

My outer life is fast asleep,

But my inner life is fully awake.

Do not abandon me because of

                My outer life's misbehaviour.

There shall come a time,

                I am sure,

When my outer life

Will follow my inner life

Happily and proudly.

 

 

17.

 

Moj Gospode,

Moj spoljašnji život je čvrsto usnuo,

Ali moj unutrašnji život je potpuno budan.

Nemoj me Se odreći zbog

                Mog spoljašnjeg lošeg ponašanja.

Doći će vreme,

                Siguran sam,

Kad će moj spoljašnji život

Krenuti za mojim unutrašnjim životom

S radošću i ponosom.

 

 

 

 

 

18.

 

My Lord,

We know that earthly happiness

                Is of short duration.

How is it that

We do not increase every day

                The speed

Of our climbing aspiration?

 

 

18.

 

Moj Gospode,

Mi znamo da je zemaljska sreća

                Kratkog veka.

Kako to da

Ne uvećavamo svakog dana

                Brzinu

Naše uspinjuće težnje?

 

 

 

 

 

21.

 

My Lord,

My entire being is burning

With love, devotion

And surrender for You.

I simply cannot understand

How You can remain aloof.

 

 

21.

 

Moj Gospode,

Celo moje biće plamti

Ljubavlju, posvećenošću

I predanošću za Tebe.

Prosto ne mogu da razumem

Kako možeš da ostaneš ravnodušan.

 

 

 

 

 

25.

 

My Lord,

Why do both of us boast

                Unnecessarily?

Who chose whom first

Is of no consequence.

As long as we love each other

                Unreservedly,

Let us put an end

To our sweet dispute.

 

 

25.

 

Moj Gospode,

Zašto se nas dvojica nepotrebno

                Razmećemo?

Ko je koga prvi izabrao

Uopšte nije važno.

Sve dok volimo jedan drugog

                Bezrezervno,

Hajde da okončamo

Ovu slatku svađu.

 

 

 

 

30.

 

My Lord,

I know what I offer You

Is always small, very small,

Yet Your Heart overflows

                With Nectar-Delight.

I am prepared

To come into the world

                Again and again

Only to fathom Your Love

                Unfathomable.

 

 

30.

 

Moj Gospode,

Znam da je ono što Ti nudim

Uvek malo, veoma malo,

A opet, Tvoje Srce preplavljuje

                Nektar-Blaženstvo.

Ja sam spreman

Da dolazim na svet

                Iznova i iznova

Samo da bih spoznao Tvoju Ljubav

                Neshvatljivu.

 

 

 

 

 

39.

 

My Lord,

You have shown me many things,

But out of Your infinite Compassion,

Do show me Your own Path

                Through my life.

 

 

39.

 

Moj Gospode,

Pokazao si mi mnogo toga,

Ali iz Tvoje beskrajne Samilosti,

Pokaži mi Tvoj sopstveni Put

                Kroz moj život.

 

 

 

 

 

 

41.

 

My Lord,

It seems to me

That You have ceased

                To care for me.

If I am right,

                Do show me the way,

And if I am wrong,

                Then prove it.

 

 

41.

 

Moj Gospode,

Izgleda mi

Da si prestao

                Da mariš za mene.

Ako sam u pravu,

                Kaži mi šta da radim,

A ako nisam u pravu,

                Dokaži da nisam.

 

 

 

 

 

42.

 

My Lord,

If I jump into Your Arms,

Will You hold me

                Or drop me?

 

"My child,

If you believe in your courage,

Then I believe in My Concern."

 

 

42.

 

Moj Gospode,

Ako skočim u Tvoje Naručje,

Hoćeš li me uhvatiti

                Ili ispustiti?

 

"Dete Moje,

Ako ti veruješ u tvoju hrabrost,

Onda i ja verujem u Moju Pažljivost."

 

 

 

 

43.

 

My Lord,

I have purified my mind,

I have widened my heart.

Is there anything more

                You expect?

 

"My child,

Only one thing more:

                Patience."

 

 

43.

 

Moj Gospode,

Pročistio sam moj um,

Proširio sam moje srce.

Ima li još nešto

                Što očekuješ?

 

"Dete Moje,

Samo još jednu stvar:

                Strpljenje."

 

 

 

 

 

48.

 

My Lord,

My desire-life who chose,

                If not You?

 

"My child,

If you think that way,

Then I have something new

                For you:

Aspiration-heart."

 

 

48.

 

Moj Gospode,

Moj život želja ko je odabrao,

                Ako ne Ti?

 

"Dete Moje,

Ako razmišljaš na taj način,

Onda imam nešto novo

                Za tebe:

Srce težnje."

 

 

 

 

 

 

51.

 

My Lord,

Everything is topsy turvy

                In this world.

I am supposed to run after You.

You are running after me

                Instead.

 

 

51.

 

Moj Gospode,

Sve je navrat-nanos

                Na ovom svetu.

Ja treba da jurim za Tobom.

                Umesto toga,

Ti juriš za mnom.

 

 

 

 

52.

 

My Lord,

Have You any idea how beautiful

Your Compassion-Eye is?

My Lord,

Have You any idea how powerful

Your Protection-Hands are?

My Lord,

Have You any idea how merciful

Your Lotus-Feet are?

My Lord,

Have You any idea how blissful

Your Satisfaction-Heart is?

"My child,

I do not know.

But if you think

That I should know,

Then let Me hear it from you."

My Lord,

On one condition,

I expect Your undivided attention.

"Of course, My child, of course."

 

 

52.

 

Moj Gospode,

Znaš li kako je predivno

Tvoje Oko Samilosti?

Moj Gospode,

Znaš li kako su moćne

Tvoje Ruke Zaštite?

Moj Gospode,

Znaš li kako su milosrdna

Tvoja Lotus-Stopala?

Moj Gospode,

Znaš li kako je blaženo

Tvoje Srce Zadovoljstva?

 

Dete Moje,

Ne znam.

Ali ako misliš

Da bi trebalo da znam,

Onda daj da to čujem od tebe."

 

Moj Gospode,

Pod jednim uslovom,

Očekujem Tvoju nepodeljenu pažnju.

 

"Naravno, dete Moje, naravno."
