It takes time - E nevoie de timp

If something is true, you will feel it within the very depth of your heart.

You sow a seed. After a few months it germinates. In a year it grows into a sapling, and eventually it grows into a huge banyan tree. When you begin to take an interest in the spiritual life, you have only sown the seed. You may not see the result immediately. It takes time. You have to start with faith-sincere, genuine, sublime faith. You have to pray and meditate before you will feel your own divinity. If you cannot feel your inner divinity right now, do not be sad or upset. It takes time. Pray and meditate sincerely and through your faith, your real divinity will one day loom large. If you do not have higher experiences or realizations as soon as you enter into the spiritual life, do not give up. Right now if you not feel inside the very depth of your heart something divine, illumining, fulfilling and perfect, no harm. It takes time to acquire a free access to the inner world. But once you have a free access to the inner world, you will see that is flooded with light and delight.

For me there is only one friend,

And that friend is

My heart's ever-blossoming faith.

I need no second friend.

Daca ceva este adevarat o vei simti in adancul inimii.

Plantezi o samanta. Dupa cateva luni rasare. Intr-un an creste si devine un arbust iar in cele din urma va deveni un copac urias. Atunci cand deveniti interesati de viata spirituala, doar ati pus samanta. E posibil ca rezultatul sa nu apara imediat. E nevoie de timp. Trebuie sa incepeti cu credinta-credinta sincera, adevarata, sublima. Trebuie sa va rugati si sa meditati inainte ca sa va simtiti propria divinitate. Daca nu va puteti simti divinitatea acum, nu fiti tristi sau suparati. E nevoie de timp. Rugati-va si meditati cu sinceritate si prin credinta voastra, divinitatea voastra reala se va ivi. Daca nu aveti experiente sau realizari imediat ce ati intrat in viata spirituala, nu renuntati. Acum daca inca nu simtiti in adancul inimii ceva divin, iluminator, perfect si implinitor nu e nici o problema. Este nevoie de timp ca sa obtii acces liber la lumea interioara. Dar odata ce ai acces liber la lumea interioara vei vedea ca este plina de lumina si bucurie.

Pentru mine exista un singur prieten,

Si acel prieten este

Credinta ce infloreste mereu a inimii mele.

Nu am nevoie de un al doilea prieten.
