SLEEP

Lord, is sleep death or rest?

"Son, sleep is death; sleep is rest.

Sleep is fulfilling rest

When angels visit you

Or

You enter into the world

Of the illumining Beyond.

Sleep is death

When the vital world

Of

Destruction-night

Threatens you and frightens you.

Sleep is death

When you fail to see

The flow of Eternity's river

In

Your consciousness-realm."

 

1.

SAN

Gospode, je li san smrt ili odmor?

"Sine, san je smrt; san je odmor.

San je ispunjujući odmor

Kad te posete anđeli

Ili

Kad uđeš u svet

Prosvetljujućeg Onostranog.

San je smrt

Kad ti vitalni svet

Noći neznanja

Preti i zastrašuje te.

San je smrt

Kad ne uspeš da vidiš

Tok reke Večnosti

U

Domenu tvoje svesti."

 

 

 

 

 

19.  

NO TIME

I love and love;

No time to hate!

I build and build;

No time to break!

I promise and promise;

No time to withdraw!

I become and become;

No time to see!

I am and am;

No time to dream!

 

19.

NEMAM VREMENA

Ja volim i volim –

Nemam vremena da mrzim!

Ja gradim i gradim –

Nemam vremena da rušim!

Ja obećavam i obećavam –

Nemam vremena da odustajem!

Ja postajem i postajem –

Nemam vremena da gledam!

Ja jesam i jesam –

Nemam vremena da sanjarim!

HIS UNMISTAKABLE ANSWER

Is it his impatience

That scolds

The disciples of his inner circle?

Who can answer?

Not he, not he!

Perhaps God.

Is it his sense of duty

That scolds

The disciples of his inner circle?

Who can answer?

Not he, not he!

Perhaps God.

Is it his unconscious attachment

That scolds

The disciples of his inner circle?

Who can answer?

Not he, not he!

Perhaps God.

Is it his supreme promise

To the Absolute Supreme

That compels him to scold and perfect

The disciples of his inner circle?

Ah, at least he knows how to answer this question.

He needs no God to answer this question,

For his very existence on earth

Is his unmistakable answer.

NJEGOV NEPOGREŠIVI ODGOVOR

Je li to njegovo nestrpljenje

Što grdi

Njegove najbliže učenike?

Ko može da odgovori?

On ne može, on ne može!

Možda Bog.

Je li to njegov osećaj dužnosti

Što grdi

Njegove najbliže učenike?

Ko može da odgovori?

On ne može, on ne može!

Možda Bog.

Je li to njegova nesvesna vezanost

Što grdi

Njegove najbliže učenike?

Ko može da odgovori?

On ne može, on ne može!

Možda Bog.

Je li to njegovo uzvišeno obećanje

Apsolutnom Svevišnjem

Što ga primorava da grdi i usavršava

Njegove najbliže učenike?

Ah, bar na ovo pitanje on ume da odgovori.

Ne treba mu Bog da odgovori na ovo pitanje,

Jer samo njegovo postojanje na Zemlji

Je njegov nepogrešivi odgovor.

SIX MESSAGES

My imagination tells me

That my God is far, very far.

My inspiration tells me

That although my God is very far,

I shall be able to reach Him

Someday, somewhere, somehow.

My aspiration tells me

That I shall ascend one step

And God will descend ninety-nine steps,

And then we shall be together

And become one.

My realisation tells me

That I do not ascend

And God does not descend.

He just comes out of my dream-reality

And

I just come out of His Reality-dream.

My revelation tells me

That God and I together reveal

Eternity's cry,

Infinity's smile

And

Immortality's light.

My manifestation tells me

That we manifest only two things on earth:

The promised land

And

A perfect life.

ŠEST PORUKA

Moja mašta kaže mi

Da je moj Bog daleko, vrlo daleko.

Moje nadahnuće kaže mi

Da ću, iako je moj Bog vrlo daleko,

Biti u stanju da Ga dosegnem

Jednog dana, negde, nekako.

Moja težnja kaže mi

Da ću se ja popeti jedan korak,

A Bog će se spustiti devedeset-devet koraka,

I onda ćemo biti zajedno

I postati jedno.

Moje ostvarenje kaže mi

Da se ja ne uspinjem

I da se Bog ne spušta.

On samo izlazi iz moje san-stvarnosti,

A

Ja samo izlazim iz Njegovog stvarnost-sna.

Moje otkrovenje kaže mi

Da Bog i ja zajedno otkrivamo

Vapaj Večnosti,

Osmeh Beskraja

I

Svetlost Besmrtnosti.

Moje ispoljavanje kaže mi

Da mi ispoljavamo samo dve stvari na Zemlji:

Obećanu zemlju

I

Savršen život.

BECOMING HAPPY

Lord, why am I suffering so much?

"You are suffering

Because you are a sleeping body."

Lord, why am I suffering so much?

"You are suffering

Because you are a demanding vital."

Lord, why am I suffering so much?

"You are suffering

Because you are a doubting mind."

Lord, why am I suffering so much?

"You are suffering

Because you are an unaspiring heart."

Lord, why am I suffering so much?

"You are suffering

Because you are an unillumining soul."

Lord, is there any way I can be happy?

"Yes, you can.

Just tell your body

That its boss is your dynamic vital.

Just tell your vital

That its boss is your searching mind.

Just tell your mind

That its boss is your surrendering heart.

Just tell your heart

That its boss is your fulfilling soul.

Just tell your soul

That its boss is your

Dream-transforming

And

Reality-immortalising God."

POSTATI SREĆAN

Gospode, zašto toliko patim?

"Patiš

Zato što si telo koje spava."

Gospode, zašto toliko patim?

"Patiš

Zato što si vital koji zahteva."

Gospode, zašto toliko patim?

"Patiš

Zato što si um koji sumnja."

Gospode, zašto toliko patim?

"Patiš

Zato što si srce koje ne teži."

Gospode, zašto toliko patim?

"Patiš

Zato što si duša koja ne prosvetljava."

Gospode, mogu li ikako da postanem srećan?

"Da, možeš.

Samo kaži svom telu

Da je njegov šef tvoj dinamični vital.

Samo kaži svom vitalu

De je njegov šef tvoj um koji traga.

Samo kaži svom umu

Da je njegov šef tvoje srce koje se predaje.

Samo kaži svom srcu

Da je njegov šef tvoja duša koja ispunjuje.

Samo kaži svojoj duši

Da je njen šef tvoj Bog koji

Preobražava snove

I

Obesmrćuje stvarnost.
