Dvadeset-sedam hiljada izdanaka težnje, deo 203

20208.
To say that I need wisdom-light
More than ignorance-night
  Is not enough.
I must say that I need
Wisdom-light only -
  Nothing else!

20208.
Da kažem da mi treba svetlost mudrosti
Više nego noć neznanja
  Nije dovoljno.
Moram da kažem da mi treba
Jedino svetlost mudrosti -
  Ništa drugo!

20232.
What can God's Grace
  Do for us?
It can do in a minute
What would take a lifetime
  Otherwise.

20232.
Šta može Božja Milost
  Da učini za nas?
Može da učini za minut
Ono za šta bi inače
  Bio potreban ceo život.

20240.
When illumination
We are within,
Perfection
We become without.

20240.
Kad smo prosvetljenje
Iznutra,
Savršenstvo
Postajemo spolja.

20248.
Determination
Is not enough.

Perseverance
Is not enough.

Every good quality
That we have
Is not enough.

Only one thing
Is enough,
More than enough:
God's blessingful Compassion-Smile.


20248.
Odlučnost
Nije dovoljna.

Upornost
Nije dovoljna.

Ni jedna dobra osobina
Koju imamo
Nije dovoljna.

Samo jedna stvar
Je dovoljna,
Više nego dovoljna:
Božji blagosiljajući Osmeh Samilosti.

20257.
Do not abhor ignorance.
Do not ignore ignorance.
Challenge ignorance!
Conquer ignorance
Once and for all!
This is the absolutely
  Right way
To make yourself perfect
  And happy.

20257.
Ne grozi se neznanja.
Ne odbacuj neznanje.
Izazovi neznanje!
Prevladaj neznanje
Jednom zauvek!
To je apsolutno
  Ispravan način
Da sebe učiniš savršenim
  I srećnim.

20267.
  Determination
Straightens, enlightens
And even shortens
The God-realisation-road.

20267.
  Odlučnost
Ispravlja, osvetljava
I čak skraćuje
Put do spoznaje Boga.

20268.
A God-thinker may at times
  Be puzzled
By God's infinite Vastness,
But a God-lover is always
  Happy and fulfilled
In God's infinite Sweetness.

20268.
Onaj ko razmišlja o Bogu može ponekad
  Da bude zbunjen
Božjom beskrajnom Ogromnošću,
Ali onaj ko voli Boga uvek je
  Srećan i ispunjen
U Božjoj beskrajnoj Slatkoći.

20269.
The human in us
Is always tired.
It desires to shorten
The cut-off time
In the race.

The divine in us
Does not want
And does not need
A cut-off time,
For it loves Eternity's
Divine Adventure-Road.


20269.
Ljudsko u nama
Uvek je umorno.
Ono žudi da skrati
Kvalifikacioni minimum
U trci.

Božansko u nama
Ne želi
I ne treba
Kvalifikacioni minimum,
Jer ono voli Stazu
Beskrajne Božanske Avanture.

20270.
The thought of God
  Embodies
  Sweetness.
The search for God
  Reveals
  Oneness.

20270.
Pomisao na Boga
  Otelovljuje
  Slatkoću.
Traganje za Bogom
  Razotkriva
  Jedinstvo.

20278.
The profession of a spiritual Master
  Is not an easy one.
O seekers and God-lovers,
If you do not believe me,
Just try playing the role
  Of the Master.

20278.
Posao duhovnog Učitelja
  Nije lak.
O tragaoci i zaljubljenici u Boga,
Ako mi ne verujete,
Pokušajte da budete
  Učitelj.

20290.
Although I stumble,
I shall not fail.
Even though I fail,
I shall not give up,
  Never!

20290.
Mada posrćem,
Neću pasti.
Čak i ako padnem,
Neću odustati,
  Nikad!
