WHEN I SAID TO GOD
When I said to God,
"God, I shall leave You,"
A look of pain crossed His beautiful Face.
When I said to God,
"God, I shall stay with You
No matter what You do to me,"
God jumped up out of His Throne,
       Gave me His Throne,
       Gave me His Crown,
       Gave me His Heart,
       Gave me His All
               And said
       I was not only a son of His
               And
       A vision-fulfilling reality of His
               But
       His Eternity's All.

KAD SAM REKAO BOGU
Kad sam rekao Bogu:
"Bože, napustiću Te",
Grimasa bola prešla je Njegovim lepim Licem.
Kad sam rekao Bogu:
"Bože, ostaću s Tobom
Bez obzira kako postupaš prema meni",
Bog je skočio sa Svog Prestola,
       Dao mi Njegov Presto,
       Dao mi Njegovu Krunu,
       Dao mi Njegovo Srce,
       Dao mi Njegovo Sve
               I rekao
       Da sam ja ne samo Njegov sin
               I
       Stvarnost ispunjenja Njegove Vizije,
               Već
       I Njegovo Večno Sve.

FOR YOUR GOOD
When I say that I have realised God,
Why do I see a look of disbelief in your eyes?
Do you think I am fooling you?
Do you think I have nothing else to do on earth
Than to tell you who I am
       And
To try to convince you why I am here?
No. No. No.
I tell you I have realised God
Just because God wants me to tell you.
I am more than pleased with my God-realisation.
I do not have to proclaim my divinity.
I do not have to share my divinity.
I am complete in myself.
I am perfect in myself.
It is for your good,
       For your realisation,
               For your perfection
That I tell you I am a realised soul.

ZA TVOJE DOBRO
Kad kažem da sam spoznao Boga,
Zašto vidim izraz neverice u tvojim očima?
Je l' misliš da te lažem?
Je l' misliš da nemam ništa drugo da radim na zemlji
Nego da tebi govorim ko sam
               I
Da pokušavam da te ubedim zašto sam ovde?
Ne, ne, ne!
Kažem ti da sam spoznao Boga
Samo zato što Bog želi da ti kažem.
Ja sam više nego zadovoljan mojom bogospoznajom.
Ja ne moram da proglašavam moju božanskost.
Ja ne moram da delim moju božanskost.
Ja sam potpun u sebi.
Ja sam savršen u sebi.
Za tvoje dobro,
       Radi tvoje spoznaje,
               Radi tvog savršenstva
Govorim ti da sam realizovana duša.

42.
WHAT IS IT?
Use it or lose it.
       What is it?
               Love.
Build it or break it.
       What is it?
               Hope.
Love it or hate it.
       What is it?
               Surrender.

42.
ŠTA JE TO?
Koristi je ili ćeš je izgubiti.
       Šta je to?
               Ljubav.
Sagradi je ili je sruši.
       Šta je to?
               Nada.
Voli je ili je mrzi.
       Šta je to?
               Predaja.
