Human pride and divine pride

Do not visit the worlds of ego-exhibition if you want to keep your own ego under perfect control.

My human pride feels that I can do everything. My divine pride, the pride that has surrendered itself to the Will of God, knows that I can do everything only when I am inspired, guided and helped by the Supreme. My human pride wants the world to understand me, my love, my help and sacrifice. My divine pride, which is the feeling of oneness with all in God, does not wish the world to understand my selfless activities. It feels that if God understands me, knows my motives, then there can be no greater reward.

If you are prompted

To measure your service-life,

Then your entire being

Cannot reach out

Toward God-Perfection.

Nu vizitati lumile in care se face parada de ego daca doriti sa va pastrati egoul sub un control perfect.

Mandria mea umana crede ca pot sa fac orice. Mandria mea divina, mandria care s-a abandonat Vointei lui Dumnezeu, stie ca pot face orice doar atunci cand sunt inspirat, ghidat si ajutat de Suprem. Mandria mea umana vrea ca lumea sa ma inteleaga pe mine, dragostea mea, sacrificiul si ajutorul meu. Mandria mea divina, care este sentimentul unitatii cu totul in Dumnezeu, nu doreste ca lumea sa inteleaga activitatile mele dedicate. Ea considera ca daca Dumnezeu ma intelege, imi stie motivele, atunci nu poate exista rasplata mai mare.

Daca esti hotarat

Sa-ti masori viata ta de servire

Atunci intreaga ta fiinta

Nu va putea sa ajunga

La Perfectiunea-lui-Dumnezeu.
