201 - 300

 

Šri Činmoj, "Sedamdeset sedam hiljada stabala služenja", 22. deo:

Aforizmi 21,201 - 21,300

 

21,201

Today is the day

That I am relinquishing

All my life's sighs and moans.

 

Na današnji dan

Odričem se

Svih uzdaha i zapomaganja svog života.

 

21,202

Today is the day that I shall promise

To my Lord Supreme

That from now on I shall never, never

Run short of faith,

Either in Him or in myself.

 

Na današnji dan obećaću

Mom Gospodu Svevišnjem

Da mi odsad nikad, nikad

Neće ponestati vere

Ni u Njega ni u samog sebe.

 

21,203

My Lord Supreme sees today

Two shrines:

The sincerity-shrine in my eyes

And

The purity-shrine in my heart.

 

Moj Gospod Svevišnji danas vidi

Dva oltara:

Oltar iskrenosti u mojim očima

I

Oltar čistote u mom srcu.

 

21,204

No more shall I light

A temptation-conflagration

In my aspiration-life.

 

Nikad više neću podmetnuti

Požar iskušenja

U moj život težnje.

 

21,205

Today I am blessed

With the capacity

To keep my distance

From desire-life.

 

Danas sam blagosloven

Sposobnošću

Da se držim na odstojanju

Od života želja.

 

21,206

My Lord,

Do give me the capacity

To take

My willingness and eagerness-run

Towards You.

 

Moj Gospode,

Daj mi sposobnost

Da potrčim

Sa voljnošću i žarom

Prema Tebi.

 

21,207

A human body needs

A dymanic push

At every moment.

 

Ljudskom telu potreban je

Dinamički podsticaj

U svakom trenutku.

 

21,208

Every morning

I keep my heart-flowers

On my God-devotion-shrine.

 

Svakog jutra

Polažem cvetove mog srca

Na oltar moje posvećenosti Bogu.

 

21,209

Only the heart-singers

Are always in tune

With their Lord Beloved Supreme.

 

Jedino su pevači srca

Uvek usklađeni

Sa njihovim Gospodom Voljenim Svevišnjim.

 

21,210

Never accept

The mind's

Discouraging and frustrating thoughts.

 

Nikad ne prihvataj

Obeshrabrujuće i frustrirajuće

Misli uma.

 

21,211

Human life is always under

God-Compassion-construction

Towards perfect Perfection.

 

Božja Samilost stalno

Dograđuje ljudski život

Da postigne savršeno Savršenstvo.

 

21,212

A soulful smile

Decreases and negates

The power

Of the undivine forces.

 

Duševni osmeh

Smanjuje i poništava

Moć

Nebožanskih sila.

 

21,213

Love the hope-star

In your heart-sky

All the time,

So that it can never disappear.

 

Voli zvezdu nade

Na nebu tvog srca

Sve vreme

Da ne bi nikad mogla da nestane.

 

21,214

Each seeker

Needs blazing aspiration

To burn out all his desires.

 

Svakom tragaocu

Potrebna je plamteća težnja

Da sagori sve svoje želje.

 

21,215

I breathe in

My Lord's

Nectar-Heart-Fragrance.

 

Udišem

Miris Nektar-Srca

Mog Gospoda.

 

21,216

I breathe out

My life's

Impurity-futility-air.

 

Izdišem

Vazduh nečistote i jalovosti

Mog života.

 

21,217

The happiness of the heart

Does have the capacity

To put an end

To the depression of the mind.

 

Sreća srca

U stanju je

Da okonča

Depresiju uma.

 

21,218

Each human being

Is meant to be

A God-realisation-song.

 

Svakom je ljudskom biću

Namenjeno da bude

Pesma ostvarenja Boga.

 

21,219

Each human being

Is meant to be

A God-liberation-flute.

 

Svakom je ljudskom biću

Namenjeno da bude

Flauta Božjeg oslobođenja.

 

21,220

Each human being

Is meant to be

A God-manifestation-gong.

 

Svakom je ljudskom biću

Namenjeno da bude

Gong ispoljenja Boga.

 

21,221

Every day

I listen without fail

To God-Broadcasts

On my soul-divinity-station.

 

Ni jednog dana

Ne propuštam da slušam

Božje emisije

Na radio-stanici božanstvenosti moje duše.

 

21,222

If I do not place myself totally

Inside the Heart of my Lord Supreme

How can I ever claim Him to be

My own, very own?

 

Ako ne postavim samog sebe potpuno

U Srce mog Gospoda Svevišnjeg,

Kako uopšte mogu da tvrdim da je On

Moj, sasvim moj?

 

21,223

O my mind,

Are you really so blind

That you cannot see

Our Lord's blissful Smiles?

 

O moj ume,

Zar si zaista toliko slep

Da ne možeš da vidiš

Blažene osmehe našeg Gospoda?

 

21,224

When I do not please God

In His own Way,

I am forced to hear

My own ceaseless cries.

 

Kad ne udovoljavam Bogu

Na Njegov sopstveni Način,

Prisiljen sam da slušam sopstvene

Neprekidne jecaje.

 

21,225

We have so many divine things

To accomplish

Before the suns of our lives

Go to sleep for good.

 

Ima tako mnogo božanskih stvari

Koje treba da postignemo

Pre nego što sunca naših života

Zauvek usnu.

 

21,226

A day of complete surrender

To God's Will

Is, indeed, a red-letter day

Not only for the God-lover,

But also for God-Beloved.

 

Dan potpune predaje

Božjoj Volji

Uistinu je crveno slovo u kalendaru,

Ne samo za zaljubljenika u Boga,

Već i za Boga Voljenog.

 

21,227

Self-doubt

Is the arch-enemy

Of our inner progress.

 

Sumnja u sebe

Vrhovni je neprijatelj

Našeg unutrašnjeg napretka.

 

21,228

There is a secret and sacred way

To purify our mind,

And that is through observing

The purity-moon of our heart.

 

Postoji tajni i sveti način

Da pročistimo naš um -

Posmatrajući

Mesec čistote našeg srca.

 

21,229

Disobedience

Is

Self-destruction-inevitability.

 

Neposlušnost

Je

Neizbežnost samouništenja.

 

21,230

O my mind,

Never allow your

God-enthusiasm-engine

To stall.

 

O moj ume,

Nikad ne dopuštaj

Motoru tvog Bogoentuzijazma

Da stane.

 

21,231

God says that

A self-giver is, indeed,

A God-owner.

 

Bog kaže da

Onaj ko daje sebe, uistinu,

Poseduje Boga.

 

21,232

Each seeker

Needs

A God-vigilance-mind.

 

Svakom tragaocu

Potreban je

Um budan za Boga.

 

21,233

Each seeker

Needs

A God-devotion-heart.

 

Svakom tragaocu

Potrebno je

Srce posvećeno Bogu.

 

21,234

Each seeker

Needs

A God-surrender-life.

 

Svakom tragaocu

Potreban je

Život predaje Bogu.

 

21,235

Like my soul,

I select my Beloved Supreme

To be

My eternity's life-Governor.

 

Kao i moja duša,

I ja biram mog Voljenog Svevišnjeg

Da bude

Upravitelj Večnosti mog života.

 

21,236

Although my heart

Is small in outer stature,

It is extremely powerful.

 

Iako je moje srce

Spolja malo,

Ono je izuzetno moćno.

 

21,237

Surrender

Is your only safe guarantee

To the Golden Shore.

 

Predaja je

Tvoja jedina garancija

Za Zlatnu Obalu.

 

21,238

A self-offering thought

Is, indeed,

A supremely chosen passenger

In a God-service-sailboat.

 

Samodajuća misao

Uistinu je

Vrhunski odabrani putnik

Na brodu služenja Bogu.

 

21,239

Like my soul, I shall also be

Immortality's ignorance-challenger

And ignorance-destroyer.

 

I ja ću, kao i moja duša,

Biti besmrtni borac protiv neznanja

I uništitelj neznanja.

 

21,240

We must receive our

God-inheritance

On the strangth of our

God-reliance.

 

Moramo da dobijemo naše

Božje nasleđe

Uz pomoć našeg

Uzdanja u Boga.

 

21,241

May my life be

A Heaven-ascending

Soul-bird.

 

Neka moj život bude

Ptica duše

Koja se uspinje ka Nebu.

 

21,242

A constantly God-surrender life

Is the best candidate

For the God-manifestation-team

On earth.

 

Život koji je stalno predan Bogu

Najbolji je kandidat

Za reprezentaciju Božjeg ispoljavanja

Na zemlji.

 

21,243

God's definition of desire

Is:

Self-limitation-bondage.

 

Božja definicija želje

Glasi:

Okov samoograničenja.

 

21,244

When my heart soulfully arrives

At dawn's doorstep,

My Lord greets my heart

With the broadest smile.

 

Kad moje srce duševno stupi

Na prag svitanja

Moj Gospod ga dočeka

Najlepšim osmehom.

 

21,245

May my heart

Not allow me to have

Even a moment

Of my Master-absence-life.

 

Neka mi moje srce

Ne dopusti

Da moj Učitelj čak i na sekund

Bude odsutan iz mog života.

 

21,246

Wisdom-delight and ignorance-night

Are only

An inch apart.

 

Blaženstvo mudrosti i noć neznanja

Samo su santimetar udaljeni

Jedno od drugog.

 

21,247

Imagination plays

A considerable role

In our dedication-life.

 

Imaginacija igra

Značajnu ulogu

U našem životu posvećenosti.

 

21,248

Occult powers

Can thrill the mind temporarily,

But never permanently.

 

Okultne moći

Mogu da privremeno ushite um,

Ali nikad trajno.

 

21,249

Spiritual powers,

Unlike occult powers,

Carry wisdom-light in them.

 

Duhovne moći,

Za razliku od okultnih,

U sebi nose svetlost mudrosti.

 

21,250

Empty your mind:

The fulfilment-life

Will be all yours.

 

Isprazni svoj um:

Život ispunjenja

Biće potpuno tvoj.

 

21,251

Not once, not twice,

But repeatedly

We get chances from God

To mend our ways.

 

Ne jednom, ne dvaput,

Već neprekidno,

Bog nam pruža prilike

Da se ispravimo.

 

21,252

Are we so blind,

That we fail to see hostile forces

   Hovering over us

Ruthlessly and constantly?

 

Jesmo li toliko slepi

Da ne vidimo kako neprijateljske sile

   Obigravaju oko nas

Nemilosrdno i bez prestanka?

 

21,253

Failure is failure

Only when

We stop trying any more.

 

Neuspeh je neuspeh

Jedino

Kad prestanemo da dalje pokušavamo.

 

21,254

Do not be a foool:

God Himself

Has not given up on you

   As yet.

 

Ne budi lud.

Sam Bog

Još uvek nije

   Digao ruke od tebe.

 

21,255

The path of the heart

Is not only straight

But also vast,

   Very vast.

 

Put srca

Ne samo da je prav

Već je i širok,

   Veoma širok.

 

21,256

A clever mind

Cannot prevail

   For long.

 

Lukavi um

Ne može dugo

   Da gospodari.

 

21,257

A pure heart is blessed

   By God Himself

To prevail forever.

 

Čisto srce

   Blagoslovio je Sam Bog

Da gospodari zauvek.

 

21,258

Even a heart of purity

Can easily be assailed

By temptation-volcanos.

 

Čak i čisto srce

Lako mogu napasti

Vulkanska iskušenja.

 

21,259

A heart-hero

Does not accept any defeat,

   Outer or inner.

 

Junak srca

Ne prihvata poraz,

   Bilo spoljašnji ili unutrašnji.

 

21,260

Truth will eventually be recognised.

It does not have to wait

   Forever.

 

Istina će na kraju biti priznata.

Ona ne mora da čeka

   Do u beskraj.

 

21,261

God-School has many levels -

Unconditional surrender

   Is the highest.

 

Božja Škola ima mnogo razreda -

Bezuslovna predaja

   Je najviši.

 

21,262

The easiest way

To be loved by God

Is to smile at Him

   Incessantly.

 

Najlakši način

Da nas Bog voli

Jeste da Mu se smešimo

   Bez prestanka.

 

21,263

Each surrender-song of yours

Is a heart-melting song

   For God.

 

Svaka tvoja pesma predaje

Pesma je koja topi srce

   Božje.

 

21,264

You will not be able to recognize

   Your soul

Unless you discard

   Your charcoal-mind.

 

Nećeš biti u stanju da prepoznaš

   Svoju dušu

Ukoliko ne odbaciš

   Svoj ćumur-um.

 

21,265

The inner Guru is at once

The suffering heart

   And

The smiling eye.

  

Unutrašnji Guru istovremeno je

Srce koje pati

   I

Oko koje se smeši.

 

21,266

The heart

Knows how to correct

   And perfect itself.

 

Srce zna

Kako da ispravi

   I usavrši sebe.

 

21,267

The mind

Knows how to excuse itself

   Day in and day out.

 

Um zna

Kako da se izgovara

   Svaki Božji dan.

 

21,268

God-realisation-preparation

   Takes time

But definitely is worthwhile.

 

Priprema za ostvarenje Boga

   Traje,

Ali nesumnjivo vredi.

 

21,269

   Steadily

If you go to God,

   Readily

God will receive you.

 

   Ako postojano

Ideš ka Bogu,

   Bog će te

Primiti spremno.

 

21,270

Now is the time for me

   To surrender

And cheerfully wait and wait

For God's choice Hour

   To arrive.

 

Sada je trenutak

   Da se predam

I radosno čekam i čekam

Da kucne

   Božji odabrani Čas.

 

21,271

We must never oscillate

In our God-manifestation-commitment

   On earth.

 

Nikad ne smemo da se kolebamo

U svojoj obavezi da ispoljimo Boga

   Na Zemlji.

 

21,272

Every day God urges me

To strike off my name

   From ignorance-list.

 

Svakog dana Bog me nagovara

Da precrtam svoje ime

   Sa spiska neznanja.

 

21,273

God asks me to make

An immediate choice

Between my mind-thorn

   And my heart-rose.

My hesitation astonishes myLord.

 

Bog me moli

Da odmah izaberem

Između trna mog uma

   I ruže mog srca.

Moje oklevanje zaprepašćuje mog Gospoda.

 

21,274

God-devotion-worship

Can never remain unreachable

   By the aspiration-heart.

 

Posvećeno obožavanje Boga

Nikad ne može ostati nedostižno

   Za srce težnje.

 

21,275

When God stands in front of you,

He will ask you

For your own achievement list

And not for your world-complain list.

 

Kad Bog stane pred tebe,

On će te pitati

Za spisak tvojih dostignuća,

A ne za spisak tvojih žalbi na svet.

 

21,276

My heart

Secretly teaches me

   The art of affection.

 

Moje srce me

U potaji uči

   Veštini ljubavi.

 

21,277

My mind

Openly teaches me

   The art of rejection.

 

Moj um me

Otvoreno uči

   Veštini odbacivanja.

 

21,278

My prayer

Invokes God

The Compassion-Eye.

 

Moja molitva

Priziva Boga

Samilosno Oko.

 

21,279

My meditation

Invokes God

The Universal Heart.

 

Moja meditacija

Priziva Boga

Univerzalno Srce.

 

21,280

A life of dedication

   I want to become;

A heart of aspiration

   I want to become,

A soul of realisation

   I want to become -

All three at the same time.

 

Život posvećenosti

   Hoću da postanem;

Srce težnje

   Hoću da postanem;

Duša ostvarenja

   Hoću da postanem –

Sva tri u isti mah.

 

21,281

I live between

My God-curiosity-mind

   And

My God-necessity-heart.

 

Živim između

Mog uma znatiželjnog da zna o Bogu

   I

Mog srca kome je Bog neophodan.

 

21,282

My life belongs not to me

But to my Lord Supreme.

Therefore I shun the faces

   Of problem-night.

 

Moj život ne pripada meni

Već mom Gospodu Svevišnjem.

Zato se klonim lica

   Mrak-problema.

 

21,283

I am sincerely grateful

To my Lord's Justice-Hands

For it is His Justice-Hands alone

That will give me perfection-life.

 

Iskreno sam zahvalan

Rukama Pravde mog Gospoda,

Jer mi jedino Njegove Ruke Pravde

Mogu podariti život savršenstva.

 

21,284

God's infinite Smile

Shines upon my life

Only when I am immersed in

My God-gratitude-heart-tears.

 

Beskrajni Božji Osmeh

Obasjava moj život

Jedino kad utonem

U suze zahvalnosti moga srca Gospodu.

 

21,285

In my case,

God does not care when I prosper.

He cares only when I suffer.

 

Što se mene tiče,

Bog se ne brine kad napredujem.

On se brine jedino kad patim.

 

21,286

The purification of the mind

Is absolutely necessary

   To receive

True spiritual nutrition.

 

Pročišćenje uma

Apsolutno je neophodno

   Da bismo dobili

Pravu duhovnu hranu.

 

21,287

True aspiration

Never accepts retirement.

It only longs for enlightenment.

 

Istinska težnja

Nikad ne prihvata penziju.

Ona čezne jedino za prosvetljenjem.

 

21,288

There is only one reason for me

   To live on this earth,

And that reason is to sleeplessly love

And breathlessly fulfil

  My Lord Supreme.

 

Za mene postoji samo jedan razlog

   Da živim na ovom svetu,

A to je da besano volim

I neumorno ispunjavam

   Mog Gospoda Svevišnjeg.

 

21,289

Nothing else can liberate my mind,

   Save and except

My God-melody-heart-flute.

 

Ništa ne može da oslobodi moj um

   Osim jedne stvari:

Flaute mog srca koja svira Božje melodije.

 

21,290

Expectation-extermination:

This is what my life has to be.

 

Ukinuće očekivanja:

To je ono što moj život mora biti.

 

21,291

I came into the world

Not to lead a comfortable life

Bot to win a struggle-battle-life.

 

Došao sam na svet

Ne da vodim lagodan život

Već da izvojujem pobedu u životu napora i borbi.

 

21,292

Discard, discard,

Before anything else,

A doubter-intruder-mind.

 

Odbaci, odbaci,

Pre svega ostalog

Sumnjajućeg um - uljeza.

 

21,293

Increase, increase,

Before anything else,

Your aspiration-heart-hours

   And

Your dedication-life-hours.

 

Produži, produži

Pre svega ostalog

Sate težnje tvog srca

   I

Sate posvećenosti tvog života.

 

21,294

Where else is peace,

If not in the poise

   Of your mind?

 

Gde je mir,

Ako ne u uravnoteženosti

   Tvoga uma?

 

21,295

I have many mentors,

But I love my silence-mentor

   The most.

 

Imam mnogo mentora,

Ali mog mentora tišinu

   Volim najviše.

 

21,296

A restless mind

Is nothing but

A runaway train

That courts destruction.

 

Uznemireni um

Samo je

Pomahnitali voz

Koji se udvara uništenju.

 

21,297

May I be a possessor of

An ever-increasing

   Enthusiasm-mind.

 

Neka moj um

Neprekidno uvećava

   Svoj entuzijazam.

 

21,298

May I be a possesor of

An ever-increasing

   Aspiration-heart.

 

Neka moje srce

Neprekidno uvećava

   Svoju težnju.

 

21,299

May I be a possesor of

An ever-increasing

   Dedication-life.

 

Neka moj život

Neprekidno uvećava

   Svoju posvećenost.

 

21,300

To my greatest joy,

My God-realisation-capacity

My God-revelation-capacity

And my God-menifestation-capacity

   Are coming out of hiding.

 

Na moju najveću radost,

Moja sposobnost da ostvarim Boga,

Moja sposobnost da ukažem na Boga

I moja sposobnost da ispoljim Boga

   Izlaze na videlo.

Prevod: Goran Bojić
