Šri Činmoj, "Sedamdeset-sedam hiljada stabala služenja", knjiga 18.

Odabrani aforizmi između 17,001 and 17,300:

17,019.

Everything that takes my Lord

            Away from me

Is not at all worth having.

Sve ono što mog Gospoda

            Udaljava od mene

Uopšte nije vredno imati.

17,077.

If I love God

More than I love ignorance,

            It is not enough.

I must love only God

            And nobody else.

Ako Boga volim

Više nego neznanje,

            To nije dovoljno.

Moram da volim samo Boga

            I nikog drugog.

17,097.

To please God

At every moment

            In His own Way

Is a constant learning process.

Udovoljiti Bogu

U svakom trenutku

            Na Njegov sopstveni Način

Je proces neprestanog učenja.

17,109.

God loves me

Not because I keep succeeding,

            But because I am trying.

Bog me voli

Ne zato što stalno uspevam,

            Već zato što pokušavam.

17,130.

Every day I pray to God

To make me worthy

            Of His Trust.

Svakog dana se molim Bogu

Da me učini vrednim

            Njegovog Poverenja.

17,139.

Who will awaken

            My aspiration-heart?

Who will teach my heart

            God-songs?

Ko će probuditi

            Moje težeće srce?

Ko će moje srce učiti

            Da peva o Bogu?

17,147.

In God's Heartland,

            Gratitude

Is the only currency.

U zemlji Božjeg Srca

            Zahvalnost

Je jedina valuta.

17,155.

My failure starts

When I compel God

            To please me

In my own way.

Moja propast počinje

Kad nateram Boga

            Da mi ugodi

Na moj sopstveni način.

17,164.

A peaceful mind

Is a short-cut

To God-discovery.

Smiren um

Je prečica

Do otkrića Boga.

17,167.

Meditation is absolutely

The best friend

            Of a seeker.

Meditacija je apsolutno

Najbolji prijatelj

            Tragaočev.

17,176.

Not to believe

Is to invite

            Failure.

Ne verovati

Jeste prizivati

            Neuspeh.

17,197.

The human in me

            Behaves well

Only when I am

            In front of God.

Ljudsko u meni

            Ponaša se lepo

Samo kad sam

            Ispred Boga.

17,198.

The divine in me

Behaves well everywhere,

For it knows God's Presence

            Is everywhere.

Božansko u meni

Ponaša se lepo svuda,

Jer ono zna da je Bog

            Sveprisutan.

17,252.

God's Protection

Entirely depends

On our receptivity.

Božja Zaštita

Potpuno zavisi

Od naše prijemčivosti.
