2904.
Vital joy without purity
Is a sign of inner poverty.
Purity without self-giving
Is an impossible reality.

2904.
Vitalna radost bez čistote
Znak je unutrašnjeg siromaštva.
Čistota bez samodavanja
Je nemoguća stvarnost.

2932.
I have seen many
       Indifferent minds,
But not even one
       Indifferent heart.
I have felt many
       Insecure hearts,
But never
       An insecure soul.

2932.
Video sam mnogo
       Ravnodušnih umova,
Ali ni jedno
       Ravnodušno srce.
Osetio sam mnoga
       Nesigurna srca,
Ali nikad
       Nesigurnu dušu.

2949.
A proud man wants to lead the world,
       But he fails.
A humble man wants to follow the world,
But when he is about to follow the world,
       God appears
And starts leading him.

2949.
Ponosan čovek želi da upravlja svetom,
       Ali mu ne uspeva.
Ponizan čovek želi da služi svetu,
Ali čim krene da služi svetu,
       Pojavljuje se Bog
I počinje da ga vodi.

2958.
       Prayerful
Are the eyes of a dreamer.
       Beautiful
Is the heart of a lover.
       Fruitful
Is the life of a server.

2958.
       Molitvene
Su oči onog koji sanja.
       Lepo
Je srce onog koji voli.
       Plodan
Je život onog koji služi.

2992.
       With love
I see the world.
       With devotion
I feel the world.
       With surrender
I become the world.

2992.
       Kroz ljubav
Vidim svet.
       Kroz posvećenost
Osećam svet.
       Kroz predanost
Postajem svet.

2999.
       In my life
There is nothing to say
And there is nothing to understand.
There is only one thing,
       And that is
Constant self-revelation.

2999.
       U mom životu
Nema šta da se kaže
I nema šta da se razume.
Ima samo jedna stvar,
       A to je
Neprestano razotkrivanje sebe.
