There can be no wall of separativity

Between the mind's clarity

And the heart's purity.

22,813.

Ne može da postoji zid razdvajanja

Između jasnoće uma

I čistote srca.

22,814.

If you want to be captured,

            Then allow yourself

To be captured by ambition,

            And not by lethargy.

22,814.

Ako želiš da budeš uhvaćen,

            Onda dozvoli sebi

Da te uhvati ambicija,

            A ne letargija.

22,832.

He whose mind is wanting

            In imagination

Will never be able to succeed

            In life.

22,832.

Onaj čijem umu nedostaje

            Mašte

Nikad neće uspeti

            U životu.

22,846.

            It is not so easy

To sit on the wisdom-chair of life

            All the time.

But it is definitely possible

To see the divine, only the divine,

            In all our actions.

22,846.

            Nije baš lako

Sedeti na stolici životne mudrosti

            Sve vreme.

Ali je definitivno moguće

Videti božanstvenost, jedino božanstvenost,

            U svim našim delima.

22,861.

            You tell me

That God does not love me.

I tell you, "So what?"

            You tell me

That God does not need me.

I tell you, "So what?"

God may not love me;

God may not need me.

But do I love God? Do I need God?

            Yes! Yes!

This is the only thing I want to hear

            At every moment

From my aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life.

22,861.

            Kažeš mi

Da me Bog ne voli.

Ja ti kažem: "Pa šta?"

            Kažeš mi

Da Bogu nisam potreban.

Ja ti kažem: "Pa šta?"

Možda me Bog ne voli.

Možda Bugu nisam potreban.

Ali da li ja volim Boga? Da li je Bog meni potreban?

            Da! Da!

To je jedino što želim da čujem

            Svakog trenutka

Od mog srca težnje

I mog života posvećenosti.

22,870.

To destroy another's hope

            Is nothing but

An unforgivable crime.

22,870.

Zgaziti nečiju nadu

            Nije ništa drugo

Do neoprostiv zločin.
