901 - 1000

 

Šri Činmoj, "Sedamdeset sedam hiljada stabala služenja", deo 34:

Aforizmi 33,901 - 34,000

 

33,901

Alas,

My heart is

An unused God-cry.

 

Avaj,

Moje srce je

Nekorišćen plač za Bogom.

 

33,902

The spiritual life

Without progress

Is meaningless.

 

Duhovni život

Bez napretka

Besmislen je.

 

33,903

I must destroy

My mind‘s

Unwilingness-snare.

 

Moram da uništim

Zamku nevoljnosti

Mog uma.

 

33,904

I always participate

In the heart-meetings

And, no, never

In the mind-meetings.

 

Uvek učestvujem

Na sastancima srca

Ali ne, nikad,

Na sastancima uma.

 

33,905

A devotion-heart

Is very sacred

   To God.

 

Srce posvećenosti

Veoma je sveto

   Bogu.

 

33,906

I must not celebrate

My own deplorable

Past activities.

 

Ne smem da proslavljam

Moje jadne

Aktivnosti iz prošlosti.

 

33,907

It is extremely difficult

For a man of self-importance

To be simple and sincere.

 

Izuzetno je teško

Sujetnom čoveku

Da bude jednostavan i iskren.

 

33,908

I have firmly closed

My heart-door

On fear and doubt.

 

Čvrsto sam zatvorio

Vrata moga srca

Za strah i sumnju.

 

33,909

Childlike enthusiasm

   Feeds us

And makes us very strong

To fight ignorance-attacks.

 

Detinji entuzijazam

   Hrani nas

I čini veoma jakim

Da se borimo protiv napada neznanja.

 

33,910

May my life become

An ever blossoming-joy.

 

Neka moj život postane

Radost koja neprekidno cveta.

 

33,911

When the heart is divinely strong,

Fear is bound to disappear

   Without a trace.

 

Kad je srce božanski snažno,

Strah će sigurno nestati

   Bez traga.

 

33,912

God‘s Oneness-Heart

Speaks and listens

At the same time.

 

Božje Srce Jedinstva

Govori i sluša

U isto vreme.

 

33,913

God tels me:

“My child,

Dive into My Heart.

I shall show you the Way

To God-realisation.”

 

Bog mi kaže:

„Dete Moje,

Zaroni u Moje Srce.

Ja ću ti pokazati Put

Ka ostvarenju Boga”.

 

33,914

Only the soul

Knows how to sing

   In silence.

 

Jedino duša

Zna kako da peva

   U tišini.

 

33,915

God wants me to exercise

My divine authority

Against the teeming darkness

   Of the mind.

 

Bog hoće da primenim

Moj božanski autoritet

Na preteću tamu

   Uma.

 

33,916

My Lord

Quite frequently visits

   My heart-throne.

 

Moj Gospod

Prilično često posećuje

   Presto moga srca.

 

33,917

All the members of my inner family

Are acting positively,

Except my God-doubting mind.

 

Svi članovi moje unutrašnje porodice

Postupaju pozitivno,

Osim mog uma koji sumnja u Boga.

 

33,918

Satisfaction

Is a very rare achievement

In the life of mankind.

 

U životu čovečanstva

Zadovoljstvo se

Veoma retko postiže.

 

33,919

When I make progress,

I see the unseen Hand.

 

Kad napredujem,

Vidim nevidljivu Ruku.

 

33,920

Never go back

To your old,

Unaspiring self.

 

Nikad se ne vraćaj

Svom starom,

Netežećem ja.

 

33,921

My Lord,

Do teach me the message

Of universal love.

 

Moj Gospode,

Nauči me poruci

Univerzalne ljubavi.

 

33,922

No matter how many times

   I speak to God,

Each time He bends down

   To listen.

 

Bez obzira koliko se puta

   Obraćam Bogu,

Svaki put On se saginje

   Da me čuje.

 

33,923

Delight

Is every soul‘s

Unmistakble birthright.

 

Blaženstvo je

Neporecivo pravo

Svake duše.

 

33,924

All your worries will disappear

If you pray to God

To appear before you.

 

Sve tvoje brige će nestati

Ako se moliš Bogu

Da se pojavi pred tobom.

 

33,925

God whispers every morning

   A sweet Song

To each and every heart.

 

Bog svakog jutra šapuće

   Neku slatku pesmu

Svakom srcu.

 

33,926

O lover of God‘s Victory,

Rise up-please!

 

O ti koji voliš Božju Pobedu,

Ustani – molim te!

 

33,927

We all need faith

At every moment

In our spiritual life.

 

Svima nam je potrebna vera

U svakom trenutku

Našeg duhovnog života.

 

33,928

God Himself creates us

For the fulfilment

   Of His Will.

 

Sam Bog nas stvara

Da bismo ispunili

   Njegovu Volju.

 

33,929

God‘s Command

Knows no holidays.

 

Božja Zapovest

Ne zna za praznike.

 

33,930

We must water

   Mother Earth

With our heart‘s

   Utmost reverence.

 

Moramo da zalivamo

   Majku Zemlju

Krajnjim poštovanjem

   Našeg srca.

 

33,931

God came down

To inspire me

With His own Heart-Songs.

 

Bog je sišao

Da me nadahne

Pesmama Njegovog sopstvenog Srca.

 

33,932

God Himself

Proudly strikes

My victory-gong.

 

Sam Bog

Ponosno udara

U moj gong pobede.

 

33,933

Whenever we are ready

To sing for God,

He tells us to sing

The surrender song first.

 

Svaki put kad smo spremni

Da pevamo za Boga,

On nam kaže da prvo

Otpevamo pesmu predaje.

 

33,934

My Lord repeatedly

   Warned me,

But I failed to pay heed.

 

Moj Gospod me je često

   Upozoravao,

Ali ja nisam obratio pažnju.

 

33,935

I love challenges.

They make my entire being

Stronger than the strongest.

 

Volim izazove.

Oni čine celo moje biće

Jačim od najjačeg.

 

33,936

My aspiration is good,

But not good enough to be

A choice instrument of God.

 

Moja težnja je dobra,

Ali ne dovoljno dobra da bude

Odabrani Božji instrument.

 

33,937

The path of self-reliance

Is self-destructive.

 

Put samouverenosti

Je samouništenje.

 

33,938

My Lord has secret conversations

With each and every soul -

He tells the souls

Not to breathe a word.

 

Moj Gospod tajno razgovara

Sa svakom pojedinom dušom -

Ali kaže dušama

Da nikome ne kažu ni reč.

 

33,939

I cannot tell anyone

What I really feel

About the world.

 

Ne mogu da kažem nikom

Šta zaista osećam

O svetu.

 

33,940

Only a pure heart

   Is granted

God‘s Love-Nectar.

 

Samo je čistom srcu

   Garantovan

Nektar Božje Ljubavi.

 

33,941

The heart of devotion

Very quickly enters

Into a very high meditation.

 

Posvećeno srce

Vrlo brzo uđe

U veoma visoku meditaciju.

 

33,942

God very quickly disappears

When He sees He is not needed.

 

Bog veoma brzo nestaje

Kad vidi da nije potreban.

 

33,943

My mind cannot eclipse

My God-aspiration-life.

 

Moj um ne može da pomrači

Moj život težnje za Bogom.

 

33,944

Alas, I am totally lost –

I can neither avoid the world situation

   Nor seek God‘s Grace.

 

Avaj, potpuno sam izgubljen –

Ne mogu ni da izbegnem okolnosti sveta

   Ni da tražim Božju Milost.

 

33,945

All is God –

Both a wild elephant

   And a faitfhul dog –

But we have to choose

   Between them.

 

Sve je Bog –

I pobesneli slon

   I verni pas –

Ali mi moramo da izaberemo

  Između njih.

 

33,946

I see the world

   Blossoming

At every moment.

 

Vidim da svet

   Cveta

U svakom trenutku.

 

33,947

Do not look at the world

With your frustration-mind.

Look at the world

With your aspiration-heart.

 

Ne gledaj svet

Svojim frustriranim umom.

Gledaj svet

Svojim srcem težnje.

 

33,948

This world is not ready

To accept the Divine Light,

Even in a tiny measure.

 

Ovaj svet nije spreman

Da prihvati Božansku Svetlost -

Čak ni mrvu.

 

33,949

The seeker‘s heart

Has to be extremely vigilant

   All the time.

 

Tragaočevo srce

Mora da stalno bude

   Krajnje oprezno.

 

33,950

My Lord‘s Golden Feet

Quite often wait and wait

For my heart‘s devotion-flowers.

 

Zlatna Stopala mog Gospoda

Često čekaju i čekaju

Na cvetove posvećenosti moga srca.

 

33,951

If God knows how

   To command me,

Then I also know how

   To obey Him.

 

Ako Bog ume

   Da mi zapovedi,

I ja umem

   Da Ga poslušam.

 

 

33,952

Superiority and inferiority

Have no place

In our inner life.

 

Superiornosti i inferiornosti

Nema mesta

U našem unutrašnjem životu.

 

33,953

Enthusiasm braves the challenges

Of both our inner life

   And our outer life.

 

Entuzijazam se suprotstavlja izazovima

I našeg unutrašnjeg

   I našeg spoljašnjeg života.

 

33,954

I must regain

My heart‘s inner cries

   And

My soul‘s inner smiles.

 

Moram da obnovim

Unutrašnje vapaje mog srca

   I

Unutrašnje osmehe moje duše.

 

33,955

Everybody will be driven

To the perfection-goal

At God‘s Choice Hour.

 

Svi će biti dovedeni

Do cilja savršenstva

U Božjem Odabranom Času.

 

33,956

O my mind,

I urge you to be one

With my heart‘s breath.

 

O moj ume,

Preklinjem te da budeš jedno

Sa dahom mog srca.

 

33,957

First cry and smile.

Finaly, go and sit

   At God‘s Feet.

 

Najpre plači i smeši se.

Na kraju idi i sedni

   Kraj Božjih Stopala.

 

33,958

The hardest lessons

Are by far the best

For our fastest spiritual progress.

 

Najteže lekcije

Daleko su najbolje

Da bismo najbrže duhovno napredovali.

 

33,959

Life prefers

To go in cycles.

 

Život više voli

Da se odvija u ciklusima.

 

33,960

God wants my heart

Either to avoid

Or to disregard

The attacks of my mind.

 

Bog hoće da moje srca

Ili izbegne

Ili ne obraća pažnju

Na napade mog uma.

 

33,961

When my heart pleases God,

In silence, God immediately becomes

   The Slave of my heart.

 

Kad moje srce udovolji Bogu,

U tišini, Bog smesta postaje

   Rob moga srca.

 

33,962

We really help God

When we start forgiving

   Our enemies.

 

Mi zaista pomažemo Bogu

Kad počnemo da opraštamo

   Našim neprijateljima.

 

33,963

Life is a constant battle

Between the divine forces

And the undivine forces.

Needless to say, the divine forces

   Will ultimately win.

 

Život je stalna bitka

Između božanskih sila

I nebožanskih sila.

Suvišno je i reći da će božanske sile

   Na kraju pobediti.

 

33,964

The universe is nowhere else

   Save and except

Inside the heart of a God-lover.

 

Univerzum se nalazi

   Jedino

U srcu zaljubljenika u Boga.

 

33,965

To think highly

And speak highly

   Of this world

Is an almost impossible task.

 

Ceniti u mislima

I hvaliti na rečima

   Ovaj svet

Gotovo je nemoguć zadatak.

 

33,966

My Lord has forcefully lowered

   The sails

Of my disproportionate pride.

 

Moj Gospod je energično

   Snizio cenu

Mom nesrazmernom ponosu.

 

33,967

Alas, I am too afraid

To count my life‘s

Wasted moment.

 

Avaj, suviše se plašim

Da prebrojim

Protraćene trenutke mog života.

 

33,968

My Lord has entrusted me

To His own Heart.

 

Moj Gospod me je poverio

Svom sopstvenom Srcu.

 

33,969

We must cast aside doubt

Long before it tries to enter

   Into our mind.

 

Moramo da odbacimo sumnju

Mnogo pre nego što pokuša da uđe

   U naš um.

 

33,970

My Lord, do tell me,

Will my uselesness-life

   Be ever over?

 

Moj Gospode, reci mi,

Hoće li se beskorisnost mog života

   Ikad okončati?

 

33,971

My Lord wants my soul

To teach me everything

   Anew.

 

Moj Gospod hoće da me moja duša

Nauči svemu

   Iznova.

 

33.972

Only a devotion-heart

Can value God‘s Blessings.

 

Jedino posvećeno srce

Ume da ceni Božje Blagoslove.

 

33,973

Until the God-Hour strikes,

All our efforts seem futile.

 

Dok ne kucne Božji Čas,

Svi naši napori izgledaju jalovi.

 

33,974

God‘s Heart shows us

   The first step,

And then His Eye shows us

   The rest of the steps.

 

Božje Srce pokazuje nam

   Prvi korak,

A onda nam Njegovo Oko pokaže

   Ostale korake.

 

33,975

My Lord,

Do allow me to drown

In Your Forgiveness-Sea.

 

Moj Gospode,

Dopusti mi da se utopim

U moru Tvog Praštanja.

 

33,976

Since surrender to God‘s Will

   Is absolutely needed,

Why not do it right away?

 

Pošto je predaja Božjoj Volji

   Apsolutno neophodna,

Zašto da to ne uradimo odmah?

 

33,977

My God-dedication

Entirely depends on

God‘s Compassion.

 

Moja posvećenost Bogu

Potpuno zavisi

Od Božje Samilosti.

 

33,978

My Lord is all ready

To see me climbing,

But alas, my fear is torturing me!

 

Moj Gospod je sasvim spreman

Da me vidi kako se penjem,

Ali, avaj, mene muči strah!

 

33,979

Sincerity, humility and faith

Can never be surpassed.

 

Iskrenost, poniznost i veru

Ništa ne može nadmašiti.

 

33,980

God is compeling me

Ti like myself.

 

Bog me prisiljava

Da volim samog sebe.

 

33,981

God is requesting my heart

To take care of my mind.

 

Bog traži od mog srca

Da se pobrine o mom umu.

 

33,982

As difficulties are increasing,

Even so, my faith in God

   Is increasing.

 

Kako teškoće rastu,

Tako raste

   I moja vera u Boga.

 

33,983

Meditation has its own

Secret and sacred protection.

 

Meditacija ima sopstvenu

Svetu i tajnu zaštitu.

 

33,984

We must not think of

Our lost opportunities.

We must create new opportunities.

 

Ne smemo da mislimo

O našim propuštenim prilikama.

Moramo da stvorimo nove prilike.

  

33,985

The mind adores

The heroes

Of the outer world.

 

Um obožava

Junake

Spoljašnjeg sveta.

 

33,986

The heart worships

The spiritual figures

Of the inner world.

 

Srce obožava

Duhovne figure

Unutrašnjeg sveta.

 

33,987

Our first and foremost duty

Is to listen the dictates

   Of our soul.

 

Naša prva i prevashodna dužnost

Jeste da slušamo zapovesti

   Svoje duše.

 

33,988

Every day

We must pray to God

At a God-appointed hour.

 

Svakog dana

Moramo da se molimo Bogu

U vreme koje je Bog odredio.

 

33,989

God has tried countless times

To cancel my friendship

With ignorance-night.

 

Bog je bezbroj puta probao

Da otkaže moje prijateljstvo

Sa noći neznanja.

 

33,990

God does not like the word

   ‘Beggar‘.

He likes the world

   ‘Child‘.

 

Bog ne voli reč

   ‘Prosjak‘.

On voli reč

   ‘Dete‘.

 

33,991

May my heart

Swim sleeplessly

In aspiration-tears.

 

Neka moje srce

Neumorno pliva

U suzama težnje.

 

33,992

Constant God-remembrances

   Lead us

To sure God-realisation.

 

Stalna sećanja na Boga

   Vode nas

Sigurnom ostvarenju Boga.

 

33,993

My golden progress-days

   And nights

Are fast approaching me.

 

Zlatni dani i noći

   Mog napretka

Brzo mi se približavaju.

 

33,994

Now that I know

That God is the sole Possessor

   Of my life,

I am utterly relieved.

 

Sad kad znam

Da je Bog jedini Vlasnik

   Mog života,

Beskrajno mi je lakše.

 

33,995

God‘s Compassion-Eye

   Is visible

Only when we search for it

From the very depths of our heart.

 

Božje Samilosno Oko

   Vidljivo je

Samo kad tragamo za njim

Iz najvećih dubina našeg srca.

 

33,996

May my heart

Be a painting

Of God-delight.

 

Neka moje srce

Bude slika

Božjeg blaženstva.

 

33,997

God‘s Fortune-Smiles

Descend upon the seeker

Who entirely depends on Him.

 

Osmesi Božje Sreće

Spuštaju se na tragaoca

Koji potpuno zavisi od Njega.

 

33,998

The joy of an obedient-heart

Can never be equalled

   By anything.

 

Radosti poslušnog srca

Nikad ništa

   Neće biti ravno.

 

33,999

God‘s Sweetness, Kindness

   And Compassion

Immediately melt my aspiring heart.

 

Od Božje Slatkoće, Dobrote

   I Samilosti

Moje srce koje teži smesta se topi.

 

34,000

We must avail ourselves

Of all the glorious opportunities

That make us the choice instruments

   Of God.

 

Moramo iskoristiti

Sve sjajne prilike

Koje nas čine izabranim

   Božjim instrumentima.
