7301. OUR ETERNAL FRIEND
In our inner life
Everyone and everything will fail us,
Except our meditation.
Meditation is our friend,
Our soul's old friend,
Our Beloved Supreme's eternal friend.
If this friend ever leaves us,
We shall have nobody to take care of us,
Nobody!
7301. NAŠ JEDINI PRIJATELJ
U našem unutrašnjem životu
Sve i svako će nas izdati
Osim naše meditacije.
Meditacija je naš prijatelj,
Stari prijatelj naše duše,
Večni prijatelj našeg Voljenog Svevišnjeg.
Ako nas ovaj prijatelj ikad napusti,
Nećemo imati nikog da se brine o nama,
Nikog!
7302. YOUR FRIENDSHIP WITH MEDITATION
No matter how many mistakes
You make,
No matter how useless
You feel yourself to be,
No matter how many weaknesses
You consciously and unconsciously cherish,
If you can maintain your friendship
With your ever-loving, ever-inspiring
And ever-illumining friend, meditation,
Then you will, without fail,
Discover the true meaning of your life.
7302. TVOJE PRIJATELJSTVO S MEDITACIJOM
Bez obzira koliko grešaka
Praviš,
Bez obzira koliko beskorisno
Se osećaš,
Bez obzira koliko slabosti
Svesno i nesvesno neguješ,
Ako možeš da održiš svoje prijateljstvo
Sa svojim večno volećim, večno nadahnjujućim
I večno prosvetljujućim prijateljem, meditacijom,
Onda ćeš nepogrešivo
Otkriti pravi smisao svog života.
7319. LOOK DEEP WITHIN
Do not look around
To see if somebody else
Is making faster progress than you.
Just look deep within
And be grateful for whatever progress
You are making.
Just look high above
And be ready and eager
To make still faster progress.
7319. GLEDAJ DUBOKO UNUTRA
Ne gledaj okolo
Da vidiš da li neko drugi
Brže napreduje od tebe.
Gledaj samo duboko unutra
I budi zahvalan ma koliko
Napredovao.
Gledaj samo visoko uvis
I budi spreman i željan
Da napreduješ još brže.
7320. THE SUPREME CONTRIBUTION
The great contribution
Of the human life:
Mind over matter.
The supreme contribution
Of the divine life:
Heart over mind.
7320. NAJVIŠI DOPRINOS
Veliki doprinos
Ljudskog života:
Um iznad materije.
Najviši doprinos
Božanskog života:
Srce iznad uma.
7329. I USE MY CURIOSITY-POWER
I use my curiosity-power
To see the beauty of the outer world.
I use my sincerity-power
To see the purity of the inner world.
7329. KORISTIM MOĆ RADOZNALOSTI
Koristim moju moć radoznalosti
Da vidim lepotu spoljašnjeg sveta.
Koristim moju moć iskrenosti
Da vidim čistotu unutrašnjeg sveta.
7337. IF YOU ARE PAINFULLY AWARE
If you are painfully aware
Of your inner mistakes
But still maintain your eagerness
To do the right thing,
You will make far better progress
Than those who complacently fool themselves
By thinking they are already
Absolutely perfect.
7337. AKO SI BOLNO SVESAN
Ako si bolno svesan
Svojih unutrašnjih grešaka,
Ali i dalje održavaš svoju željnost
Da postupaš ispravno,
Mnogo ćeš bolje napredovati
Od onih koji se samozadovoljno zavaravaju
Misleći da su već
Apsolutno savršeni.
7373. GOD IS NEVER IN A HURRY
God is never in a hurry.
If I long to be His choice instrument,
Then I must not be in a hurry either.
Today I imitate God;
Tomorrow I shall be as perfect
As God eternally is.
7373. BOG NIKAD NIJE U ŽURBI
Bog nikad nije u žurbi.
Ako žudim da budem Njegov odabrani instrument,
Onda ni ja ne smem nikad da budem u žurbi.
Danas imitiram Boga,
Sutra ću biti podjednako savršen
Kao što Bog večno jeste.
7377. DID YOU SAY HELLO TO GOD?
Did you say hello to God this morning?
"I did not remember."
Did you thank God this morning?
"I did not remember."
Did you cricise God this morning?
"Yes, I did, I did."
7377. JESI LI POZDRAVIO BOGA OVOG JUTRA?
Jesi li pozdravio Boga ovog jutra?
"Nisam se setio."
Jesi li se zahvalio Bogu ovog jutra?
"Nisam se setio."
Jesi li kritikovao Boga ovog jutra?
"Da, jesam, jesam."
7381. I DO NOT KNOW
Days passed by;
Months, too.
Yet I do not know
Why I did not pray
At my Lord's Feet
And why I did not meditate
On my Lord's Heart.
7381. NE ZNAM
Dani su prošli,
I meseci.
Ja još uvek ne znam
Zašto se nisam molio
Kraj Stopala mog Gospoda
I zašto nisam meditirao
Na Srce mog Gospoda.
7385. THE RULES OF HEAVEN
The rules of Heaven
My mind does not want to learn
But my heart has already learned:
Smile sleeplessly,
Love unconditionally.
7385. NEBESKA PRAVILA
Nebeska pravila
Moj um ne želi da nauči,
Ali moje srce ih je već naučilo:
Smej se besano,
Voli bezuslovno.
7393. WHEN THE VEIL OF ILLUSION IS TORN
When the veil of illusion is torn,
Each man sees that he loves
Only one Person,
God the Creator,
And serves only one Person,
God the creation.
7393. KAD SE RASKINE VEO ILUZIJE
Kad se raskine veo iluzije,
Svaki čovek uviđa da voli
Samo jednu Osobu:
Boga Tvorca,
I služi samo jednoj Osobi,
Bogu tvorevini.
7394. MEDITATE HERE AND NOW
If you believe in God
And want to enjoy eternal oneness with Him,
Then meditate here and now.
Your present meditation will determine
Your future realisation.
7394. MEDITIRAJ OVDE I SAD
Ako veruješ u Boga
I želiš da uživaš u večnom jedinstvu s Njim,
Onda meditiraj ovde i sad.
Tvoja sadašnja meditacija odrediće
Tvoju buduću spoznaju.
7396. SELFLESS SERVICE
Selfless service means thinking
Not of your little self
But of your largest Self, the Supreme.
Selfless service is undoubtedly
The great, greater and greatest opportunity
To make the fastest progress.
8396. NESEBIČNO SLUŽENJE
Nesebično služenje znači misliti
Ne na svoje malo ja,
Nego na svoje najveće Ja, na Svevišnjeg.
Nesebično služenje je nesumnjivo
Velika, veća i najveća prilika
Da se najbrže napreduje.
7398. THE ONLY LIFE
For a spiritual seeker
The inner life is not only
More important than the outer life,
But is actually the only life.
7398. JEDINI ŽIVOT
Za duhovnog tragaoca
Unutrašnji život ne samo da je
Važniji od spoljašnjeg života,
Nego je zapravo jedini život.
7399. BECAUSE IT GIVES HIM JOY
A child is ready and eager
To play all the time
Because it gives him joy.
A spiritual seeker should be ready and eager
To meditate all the time
Because it gives him joy.
7399. JER TO MU PRUŽA RADOST
Dete je spremno i željno
Da se igra sve vreme,
Jer to mu pruža radost.
Duhovni tragalac treba da bude spreman i željan
Da meditira sve vreme,
Jer to mu pruža radost.
