Each soulful effort - Fiecare efort insufletit

Unless, I consciously act from God's Heart, how can I soulfully and perfectly work for God's body, the creation?

When we perform any action we have to feel in this action the Life of God, the Hands of God. When we are eating we have to feel that the food is God. If we can see and feel God in everything and feel our constant oneness with God, then automatically we will be faithful to ourselves; and when we are faithful to ourselves, at that time we are bound to get what we are aspiring for. 

Each soulful effort 

And each resolute act

In the countless incidents

Of man's human life and divine life

Is proudly treasured

By the Absolute Supreme Himself.

Daca nu actionez constient din Inima lui Dumezeu, cum pot eu sa lucrez perfect si insufletit pentru corpul lui Dumnezeu, creatia?

Atunci cand realizam orice actiune trebuie sa simtim in aceasta actiune Viata lui Dumnezeu, Mainile lui Dumnezeu. Atunci cand mancam trebuie sa simtim ca mancarea este Dumnezeu. Daca putem sa vedem si sa-L simtim pe Dumnezeu in toate si sa simtim unitatea noastra constanta cu Dumezeu, atunci in mod automat noi ne vom fi credinciosi noua insine; si atunci cand ne suntem credinciosi noua suntem obligati sa obtinem ceea ce aspiram sa primim. 

Fiecare efort insufletit

Si fiecare actiune ferma

Din nenumaratele incidente

 Ale vietii umane si vetii divine a omului

Sunt pretuite cu mandrie 

De Absolutul Suprem Insusi.

Go to the Source - Mergi la Sursa

It is your heart's inner volcano-intensity that sees and feels what your Inner Pilot is offering to you and inspires you to become inseparably one with Him.

If we follow the spiritual life, naturally we want to go to the Source, which is God. We want to be as divine and great as the Source. If our ultimate aim is to become divine or to become God Himself, then we have to be faithful to the world that we are living in. How do we have to be faithful? We have to attend at every moment to what we say and what we think. When a thought comes to us, if it is a divine thought, then we have to feel that it is a blessing that has entered into us. This blessing we have to offer to the world around us. If we can faithfully and silently offer this divine thought to the outer world, then we are fulfilling the God inside us. 

A tamed mind

Can do anything.

It can even think

Of the Compassion-God

And the perfection-life.

Intesitatea-vulcanica interioara a inimii tale este cea care vede si simte ce iti ofera Pilotul Interior si te inspira sa devii in mod inseparabil una cu El.

Daca urmam o viata spirituala, normal ca dorim sa mergem la Sursa, care este Dumnezeu. Vrem sa fim la fel de divini si mareti ca si Sursa. Daca telul nostru ultim este sa devenim divini sau sa devenim Dumnezeu Insusi, atunci trebuie sa avem credinta in lumea in care traim. Cum trebuie sa avem credinta? Trebuie sa urmarim in fiecare moment ceea ce spunem si ceea ce gandim. Atunci cand un gand ne vine, daca este un gand divin, trebuie sa simtim ca este o binecuvantare care a intrat in noi. Aceasta binecuvantare trebuie sa o oferim lumii din jurul nostru. Daca putem avea credinta si sa oferim in tacere acest gand divin lumii exterioare, atunci noi il implinim pe Dumnezeu dinautru nostru.

O minte îmblinzită

Poate face orice

Poate chiar sa se gandeasca

La Dumnezeu-Compasiune

Si la viata-perfectiune.

The mission of the soul - Misiunea sufletului

“No soul in the world is without a particular mission to perform and accomplish, and the misery of every soul is in not having come to understanding of the purpose for which he is born. The lifetime of confusion is always caused by souls wandering all the time away from the purpose of which they were born.

Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882 – 1927). 

„Nu exista suflet care sa nu aiba o anumita misiune de indeplinit si realizat, si suferinta oricarui suflet apare din neputinta de a intelege scopul pentru care s-a nascut. Confuzia de o viata se datoreaza faptului ca sufletele hoinaresc tot timpul departe de telul pentru care au fost nascuti.”
 Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882 – 1927).

Have faith in yourself - Ai credinta in tine

Have faith in yourself. You will have a new heart of assurance. Have faith in God. You will have a new life of accomplishment.

We have to be faithful both in the inner world and in the outer world. When we are faithful to our inner life, to our life of aspiration, or even when we are faithful to our outer activities, we feel that our divinity is blossoming petal by petal. When we go deep within, we see that there is only one person who is constantly and eternally faithful to us, and that is God. From time immemorial He has been faithful to us, faithful to His creation. 

Because you have made faith

Your loving and illumining friend,

Your mind-your enemy number one-

Will no longer come to play with you.

Ai credinta in tine. Vei avea o inima de siguranta. Ai credinta in Dumnezeu. Vei avea o noua viata de realizare.

Trebuie sa fim credinciosi atat in lumea interioara cat si in cea exterioara. Atunci cand avem credinta in viata noastra interioara, in viata noastra de aspiratie, sau chiar si atunci cand avem credinta in actvitatile noastre exterioare, simtim cum divinitatea noastra va inflori petala cu petala. Atunci cand mergem adanc in interior, vedem ca exista o singura persoana care ne este credincioasa in mod constant si etern, si aceasta este Dumnezeu. Dintotdeauna El a ne-a fost credincios, a fost credincios creatiei Lui.

Deoarece ai facut din credinta

Prietenul tau plin de iubire si iluminare,

Mintea - inamicul tau numarul unu-

Nu va mai veni sa se joace cu tine.

God is in everything - Dumnezeu este in toate

God is in everything; that is why everything is divine.

With our aspiration we have to see how much divinity everything has. God is inside everything, but in the field of manifestation we have to know how much divinity a chair has and how much divinity a spiritual Master has. When one is wise one will see divinity infinitely more in a spiritual man than in a mad elephant. So in our life of aspiration, we have to be careful when we mix with people. We have to approach the person or thing that embodies the most divinity. This is called divine wisdom.

Everything is as important 

And indispensable

As everything else in God's creation.

Try to see the divine 

In everything

With everything

Plus for everything.

Dumnezeu este in tot; de aceea totul este divin.

Cu aspiratia noastra trebuie sa vedem cata divinitate exista in fiecare lucru.  Dumnezeu este in interiorul tuturor lucrurilor, dar in campul manifestarii trebuie sa stim cata divinitate are un scaun si cata divinitate are un Maestru spiritual. Atunci cand cineva este intelept el va vedea infinit mai multa divinitate intr-un om spiritual decat intr-un elefant nebun. Deci in viata noastra de aspiratie, trebuie sa fim atenti atunci cand ne amestecam cu oamenii. Trebuie sa ne apropiem de persoanele sau lucrurile care intruchipeaza cea mai multa divinitate. Aceasta se numeste intelepciune divina. 

Totul este la fel de important

Si indispensabil

Ca toate celelalte lucruri din creatia lui Dumnezeu.

Incearca sa vezi divinul

In tot

Cu toate

Plus pentru tot.

Don’t fall in despair - Sa nu cazi in disperare

“Whatever happens to you, don’t fall in despair. Even if all the doors are closed, a secret path will be there for you that no one knows. You can’t see it yet but so many paradises are at the end of this path. Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want.”

~Shams Tabrezi 

„Orice ti se intampla, sa nu cazi in disperare. Chiar daca toate usile sunt inchise, o cale secreta, de care nu stie nimeni,va fi acolo pentru tine. Nu o poti vedea inca dar atat de multe Paradisuri sunt la sfarsitul acestei cai. Fii recunoscator! Este usor sa multumesti dupa ce ai obtinut ceea ce vrei, multumeste inainte sa ai ceea ce iti doresti.”  Shams Tabrezi

Simplicity - Simplitate

Simplicity shortens the road that leads to God-discovery.

Simplicity embodies tremendous power. When we enter into the spiritual life, we can value this most significant achievement. We have countless desires. But from our list, if we can take out one desire, then to that extent our life becomes simple. When it becomes simple, an iota of peace dawns in our mental firmament. Each time we become simple, simpler, simplest, our desire-life become short, shorter, shortest. Then we enjoy peace of mind, light and delight.

Be a simple life.

Earth needs your help.

Be a pure heart.

Heaven needs your help.

Simplitatea scurteaza drumul care conduce catre descoperirea lui Dumnezeu.

Simplitatea reprezinta o putere uriasa. Atunci cand intram in viata spirituala, putem sa apreciem aceasta realizare foarte importanta. Noi avem nenumarate dorinte. Daca din lista noastra putem elimina o singura dorinta, atunci in aceiasi masura viata noastra devine mai simpla. Atunci cand devine mai simpla, o frantura de pace apare pe firmamentul nostru mental. De fiecare data cand devenim simplii, mai simplii, cei mai simplii, viata noastra de dorinta devine scurta, mai scurta, tot mai scurta. Apoi ne bucuram de pacea mintii, lumina si incantare.

Fii o viata simplă.

Pamantul are nevoie de ajutorul tau.

Fii o inima pură.

Raiul are nevoie de ajutorul tau.

The reality of a thing - Realitatea unui lucru

The inner life teaches us how to be detached from the desire-life and how to be attached only to God.

How can we feel that the inner world is more real? The reality of something depends on the importance or value we give to it. Reality depends on necessity. If we are hungry, immediately food becomes the only reality before us, around us, within us, without us. Anything that demands our attention or concentration has to be real, whether it is material food or inner peace, light and delight. The reality of a thing depends on how necessary it is for us. If we need something, then that very thing has to become real. 

Explore the secrets of the outer world,

Implore the secrets of the inner world.

Lo, the realities of the outer world

Will at once be at your disposal.

And the realities of the inner world

Will extol you to the skies.

Viata interioara ne invata cum sa fim detasati de viata-dorinta si cum sa fim atasati doar de Dumnezeu.

Cum putem sa simtim ca lumea interioara este mai reala? Realitatea unui lucru depinde de importanta pe care i-o acordam. Realitatea depinde de necesitate. Daca suntem infometati, imediat mincarea devine singura realitate in fata noastra, in jurul nostru, in noi si in afara noastra. Tot ceea ce ne solicita atentia sau concentrarea trebuie sa fie real, fie ca este hrana materiala sau pace, lumina sau bucurie interioara. realitatea unui lucru depinde de cat de necesar este pentru noi. Daca avem nevoie de ceva, atunci acel lucru trebuie sa devina real. 

Exploreaza secretele lumii exterioare.

Implora secretele lumii interioare.

Iata, realitatile lumii exterioare

Vor fi imdeiat la dispozitia ta.

Si realitatile lumii interioare

Te vor arunca catre ceruri.

The inner life - Viata interioara

If we give importance to a thing, then automatically that thing becomes real to us. The moment we take away the importance of a thing, that thing has no value. If we really value the inner life, then the inner life has to become real. 

When we do not pray and meditate, we see only the physical world around us. We feel that this is absolutely real. But when we pray and meditate, we see and feel that there is another world and that this physical world is only an expression of that world. But again, we have to know that we ourselves are the creator of this physical world. The physical world we build with our hands, with our outer capacities. The inner world we build with our will-power  -  not mere thought-power, but will-power.

Go forward

With your volcanic will-power!

Otherwise,

Yours will be a life

Of huge destruction.

Daca dam importanta unui lucru, atunci automat acel lucru devine real. In momentul in care nu dam importanta unui lucru, acel lucru nu are nicio valoare. Daca apreciem cu adevarat viata interioara, atunci viata interioara trebuie sa devina reala.

Atunci cand nu ne rugam si nu meditam, vedem doar lumea fizica in jurul nostru. Consideram ca aceasta este absolut reala. Dar atunci cand ne rugam si meditam, vedem si simtim ca exista o alta lume si aceasta lume fizica este doar o expresie a acelei lumi. Dar din nou, trebuie sa stim ca noi suntem creatorii acestei lumi fizice. Lumea fizica o construim cu mainile noastre, cu capacitatile noastre. Lumea interioara o construim cu puterea vointei noastre  - nu doar cu puterea gandului ci si cu puterea vointei.

Continua

Cu puterea vulcanica a vointei tale!

Altfel,

Viata ta va fi o viata de distrugere totala.

God's Will - Voia lui Dumnezeu

If you can silence the mind and ask the heart to speak to God, then only are you heading in the right direction.

Is there anybody who does not know the Will of the Supreme? No! If you remain in the heart at every moment you will know what God's Will is. But if remain in the mind, never, never will you be able to know the Will of the Supreme. You may have grandiose thoughts and lofty ideas, but they will not be the Will of the Supreme. Life's victory or defeat, life's acceptance or rejection, are not the ultimate reality in the Eye of the Supreme. He laughs at our acceptance or rejection of life, at our victories and defeats. But He triumphantly smiles at us when His Will becomes our will. We do not have to become great in the outer world to prove to the world or to Him that we are worthy instruments of His. Never does he care for our earthly status. He cares only for one thing: our constant oneness with His Will.

You do your work:

You go on creating a new world

God will ask the citizens

Of the old world

To applaud you, along with Him.

Daca poti sa-ti linistesti mintea si sa-i ceri inimii sa-i vorbeasca lui Dumnezeu, doar atunci mergi in directia buna.

Este cineva care nu stie Voia Supremului? Nu! Daca ramai in inima in fiecare moment vei sti care este Voia lui Dumnezu. Dar daca ramai in minte, niciodata, niciodata nu vei putea sa stii Voia Supremului. Poti avea idei marete si grandioase, dar ele nu vor fi Voia Supremului. Victoria sau infringerea vietii, aceptarea sau respingerea vietii, nu sunt realitatea ultima in Ochiul Supremului. El rade de acceptarea sau respingerea noastra a vietii, de victoriile sau infringerile noastre. Dar  zambeste triumfator la noi atunci cand Voia Lui devine voia noastra. Nu trebuie sa devenim mari in lumea exterioara pentru a dovedi lumii sau Lui ca suntem instrumente de valoare ale lui. Niciodata Lui nu o sa-i pese de statutul nostru lumesc. Lui ii pasa doar de un singur lucru: unitatea noastra constanta cu Voia Lui.

Fa-ti treaba ta

Constinua sa creezi o lume noua

Dumnezeu va cere cetatenilor

Lumii vechi

Sa te aplaude impreuna cu El.

Life is a dream - Viata este un vis

If you are attached to human happiness, you are in for a lot of trouble, because nightmares are inevitable along with the beautiful dreams. But if you will think of a dream as a dream, whether it is enjoyable or dreadful, you will have peace. When you realize that life is a dream, then you are free.

~ Paramahansa Yogananda

 

Daca esti atasat de fericirea umana, vei avea o groaza de probleme, pentru ca cosmarurile sunt inevitabile la fel ca si cu visele frumoase. Dar daca te vei gandi la un vis ca fiind un vis, fie el frumos sau inspaimantator, vei avea pace. Atunci cand vei realiza ca viata este un vis vei fi liber.

Oneness - Unitate

Ambition does not know that it shows us the way to an unsatisfied greatness.

Name, fame, earthly prosperity and earthly achievements will always prove to be useless, useless, useless, even for those who are not sincere seekers. There comes a time when even an ordinary human being will not hesitate to say that earthly achievements all end in frustration. Only one thing has the capacity to give satisfaction and that is oneness-conscious, constant, complete, unreserved and unconditional oneness with the Will of the Supreme.

Pray to God

And meditate on God

Every day

To use you in His own way

So that He does not see you

As one of the countless

Useless human lives.

Ambitia nu stie ca ne arata drumul catre o maretie plina de nemultumire.

Numele, faima, prosperitatea si realizarile pamantesti se vor dovedi mereu inutile, inutile, inutile, chiar si pentru cei care nu sunt cautatori sinceri. Vine un timp cand chiar si o fiinta umana obisnuita nu va ezita sa spuna ca toate realizarile lumeasti sfarsesc in frustrare. Doar un singur lucru are capacitatea sa dea satisfactie si acela este unitatea-unitatea, constienta, constanta, completa, neconditionata si fara de rezerve cu Voia Supremului.

Roaga-te la Dumnezeu

Si mediteaza asupra lui Dumnezeu

In fiecare zi

Pentru ca El sa te foloseasca in felul sau propriu

Astfel incat sa nu te vada

Ca una din nenumaratele fiinte umane inutile.

Oneness is the only reality - Unitatea este singura realitate

What my mind needs is a fresh breeze of sweet hope to once more succeed gloriously in my life.

Oneness is the only reality. He who has established oneness with God has no insecurity. But until that oneness is established, the seeker has to be very careful. He must always remember that he has come here to become God's perfect instrument. Every hour and every day he should think, "Let me become a perfect instrument." Even if he is appreciated highly in the outer world, he should not have a complacent feeling. If he does, he will not strive to become better and he will not make any progress.

God is not interested

In knowing your outer weaknesses.

He is not interested

Even in your inner weaknesses.

He is only interested

In your outer and inner 

Oneness with Him.

Ceea ce mintea mea are nevoie este o briza proaspăta de speranță dulce pentru a reuși încă odată în mod glorios în viata mea.

Unitatea este singura realitate. Cel ce a realizat unitatea cu Dumnezeu nu are nicio nesiguranta. Dar pana cand acea unitate este realizata, cautatorul trebuie sa fie foarte atent. El trebuie sa-si aduca aminte mereu ca el a venit aici pentru a deveni instrumentul perfect a lui Dumnezeu. In fiecare ora si in fiecare zi ar trebui sa gandeasca „Lasa-ma sa devin un instrument perfect.” Chiar si daca el este foarte apreciat in lumea exterioara, nu ar trebui sa aiba un sentiment de complacere. Daca o face, el nu va lupta sa devina mai bun si nu va face nici un progres.

Dumnezeu nu este interesat

Sa cunoasca slabiciunile tale exterioare.

El nu este interesat nici macar 

De slabiciunile tale interioare.

El este interesat doar 

De unitatea ta interioara si exterioara cu El.

Arsenie Boca vorbeste

Incercarile nu sunt o pedeapsa, ci o scoala,lumina pentru mine si mila de la Dumnezeu. Ca le simtim noi ca suferinte? Spune Parintele: De nu le simtim ca atare, n-am invatat nimic. Precum placerea e dascalul pacatelor, asa durerea e dascalul intelepciunii. Iar din odihna pana acum n-a iesit ceva de folos. A facut lucrul acesta si toate incercarile si toate ispitele care i-au venit in viata le-a luat si le-a pus in seama lui Dumnezeu.Toate necazurile ne vin de la greseli, nu de la Dumnezeu. El numai le ingaduie si spala cu ele vinovatiile noastre. Oamenii nu inteleg ca vindecarea prin necazuri nu dovedeste parasirea lui Dumnezeu. Atunci cand ai necaz sa stii ca Dumnezeu se milostiveste de tine. Ba chiar prin ceea ca Dumnezeu are grija de noi, daca avem necazuri.

Go back - Intoarce-te

Be simple, be sincere, be pure and be humble. Go back, go back once more to the basics of your inner life.

Sometimes we enter into the inner life out of temptation. As people enter into the outer life to fulfil their desires, so also people practice the inner life for a few days or for a few months. Then after they tried, they feel that the inner life will not fulfil their desires. The worldly life is better for that. The inner life is difficult only when one wants to fulfil the outer life first and the inner life last. One has to fulfil the inner life first, or take both the inner life and the outer life together with the feeling that if the inner life is fed, then the outer life will automatically be nourished.

My morning promise:

Today I shall not fail God.

My evening promise:

Tomorrow I shall become

An infinitely better instrument

Of God.

Fii simplu, fii sincer, fii pur si umil. Intoarce-te, intoarce-te inca odata la radacinile vietii tale interioare.

Uneori intram in viata interioara doar din tentatie. Asa cum oamenii intra in viata exterioara pentru a-si implini dorintele, la fel oamenii practica viata interioara timp de cateva zile sau cateva luni. Apoi dupa ce au incercat-o, ei considera ca viata interioara nu le va implini dorintele. Viata lumeasca este mai buna pentru asta. Viata interioara este dificila atunci cand cineva doreste sa implineasca viata exterioara in primul rand si viata interioara in ultimul rand. Trebuie sa implinim viata interioara in primul rand, sau sa luam viata interioara si cea exterioara impreuna cu sentimentul ca daca viata interioara este hranita, atunci viata exterioara va fi automat alimentata.

Promisiunea mea de dimineata:

Astazi nu-l voi rata pe Dumnezeu.

Promisunea mea de seara:

Maine voi deveni

Un instrument infinit mai bun

Al lui Dumnezeu.

The easiest way to God - Cea mai usoara cale catre Dumnezeu

Question: What is the easiest way to God?
Sri Anandamayi Ma: Profuse tears.
 
Question: And if tears do not come...
Sri Anandamayi Ma: Then you should seek the company of those who shed tears, namely in satsang. This is the easiest way to God, through love and devotion.

...from 'Anandamayi, Her Life and Wisdom' by Richard Lannoy -

Intrebare: Care este cea mai usoara cale catre Dumnezeu? 
Sri Anandamayi: Lacrimile adanci

Intrebare: Si daca lacrimile nu vin...
Sri Anandamayi: Atunci ar trebui sa cauti compania celor care varsa lacrimi de iubire, in special prin satsang( compania oamenilor care aspira catre Dumnezeu). Aceasta este cea mai usoara cale catre Dumnezeu prin dragoste si devotiune.

God does not believe in a failure-life - Dumnezeu nu crede in viata-esec

God does not believe in a failure-life. Therefore, how can you and I ever fail?

Instead of taking each mistake as a course, we can take it as a blessing. First of all, we should not commit any mistakes consciously and deliberately. But if a mistake takes place in our inner nature, in our vital nature, in our physical nature, in our outer mind or physical mind, then immediately we should be ready to confess it to ourselves and to God. Confession is our immediate emancipation. Otherwise, we shall grow into a mountain of mistakes. The moment we have the courage to confess our mistake, God's adamantine Protection run toward us. His Protection immediately becomes our heaven.

Do not allow yourself

To be devoured by past mistakes,

For God is expecting from your life

A profound inner transformation.

Dumnezeu nu crede intr-o viata-esec. De aceea, cum am putea tu sau eu sa esuam vreodata?

In loc sa consideram fiecare greseala ca pe un blestem, putem sa o consideram ca o binecuvantare. In primul rand, nu ar trebui sa comitem nicio greseala constient si deliberat. Dar daca vreo greseala are loc in natura noastra interioara, in natura noastra vitala, in natura noastra fizica sau in mintea noastra exterioara ori in cea fizica, atunci imediat ar trebui sa fim gata sa marturisim noua si lui Dumnezeu acea greseala. Confesiunea este eliberarea noastra imediata. Altfel, vom creste intr-un munte de greseli. In momentul in care avem curajul sa marturisim greseala noastra, Protectia de netrecut a lui Dumnezeu va veni catre noi alergand. Protectia lui devine raiul nostru.

Nu te lasa

Devorat de greselile trecutului,

Pentru ca Dumnezeu asteapta de la viata ta 

O profunda transformare interioara.

God asks you - Dumnezeu iti cere

Do not ridicule the sad failure of others. Who knows, you too may be sailing in the same boat before long.

The very idea of considering a mistake as something shameful or unmentionable create a wrong vibration. We should always identify ourselves with our largest part, with the all-embracing part that includes the whole world, the entire humanity. At that time our so-called mistake is not a mistake. Then we feel that it is only an imperfection. It is a game of imperfection that we have played unconsciously but not deliberately. Instead, what we actually do is separate ourselves from the mistake as if it were something dirty, obscene and so ugly that we cannot touch it. With this approach we will never make progress. Instead, let us take the mistake as a lump of clay. This lump of clay can easily be shaped or moulded into a different form. Then,  if we have wisdom enough, light enough, we can use that form for various purposes.

God asks you

Only for one favor:

Not to try to remember

Your past failure-life.

Nu ironiza tristul esec al altora. Cine stie, in curand e posibil sa fii si tu in aceeasi barca.

Simpla ideea de a considera o greseala ca fiind ceva rusinos sau de nementionat creaza o vibratie gresita. Ar trebui sa ne identificam mereu cu partea noastra cea mai mare, cu partea atotcuprinzatoare care include intreaga lume, intreaga omenire. Atunci asa numita noastra greseala nu mai este o greseala. Atunci simtim ca este doar o imperfectiune. Este un joc al imperfectiunii pe l-am jucat inconstient insa nu deliberat. In schimb, ceea ce facem noi este sa ne separam de greseala ca si cum ar fi ceva murdar, obscen si atat de urat incat nu putem sa ne atingem de ea. Cu aceasta abordare nu vom progresa niciodata. In schimb, hai sa consideram greseala ca o bucata de lut. Acestei bucati de lut i se pot da cu usurinta diferite forme. Apoi, daca suntem suficient de intelepti, si avem suficienta lumina, putem folosi aceasta forma in diverse scopuri.

Dumnezeu iti cere 

O singura favoare:

Nu incerca sa-ti amintesti

Viata-esec a trecutului tau.

What is a mistake? - Ce este o greseala?

Delete from your conscious and unconscious memory the pangs of your past failure-life.

What is a mistake after all? If we think that a mistake means something that is to be followed by punishment, then we are totally wrong. First of all, let us take it as a failure. What is failure? Failures are the pillars of success. Let us take failure as God's experience in us. God is constantly experiencing Himself in us and through us. At the same time, He is running and carrying us towards the ultimate Goal of perfection. Let us take mistakes as half truths. If we take them as something abominable and unpardonable, then they will never be rectified or shaped into truth. But if we consider mistakes as imperfect or infinitesimal truths, if we see in a mistake an iota of truth, only then can we feel that the mistake can be rectified and transformed into truth.

You say to God,

"Father, I have failed."

God says to you,

"Are you sure, My son?"

You say to God,

"Father, I have succeeded!"

God says to you,

"My son,I am not so sure."

Sterge din memoria ta constienta si inconstienta durerile esecurilor vietii tale trecute.

Ce este o greseala la urma urmei? Daca consideram ca o greseala inseamna ceva ce este urmat de pedeapsa, atunci gresim total. In primul rand haideti sa o consideram ca fiind un esec. Ce este un esec? Esecurile sunt stilpii de sustinere ai succesului. Hai sa consideram esecul ca experienta lui Dumnezeu in noi. Dumnezeu se experimenteaza pe El insusi in mod constant in si prin noi. In acelasi timp, El ne alearga si ne duce catre Telul ultim al perfectiunii. Hai sa consideram greselile ca jumatati de adevar. Daca le consideram ca ceva abominabil si de neiertat, ele nu vor fi indreptate niciodata sau schimbate in adevar. Dar daca consideram greselile ca adevaruri imperfecte si infime, daca vedem intr-o greseala un adevar cat de mic, doar atunci putem sa simtim ca greseala poate fi rectificata si transformata in adevar.

Tu ii spui lui Dumnezeu,

Between you and the goal there may be a few obstacles, but  you have to overcome them. If you say, ”I do not want to overcome the obstacles, but I want to reach the goal,” how can you expect to do it? If you are just at the starting point, you have to be prepared to encounter difficulties. When you have to cross a difficult hurdle, you will see whether you really want to reach the goal or not.

Your sterling faith in God

Can easily brave

Numberless buffets.

Semnificatia vietii este prezenta constanta a curajului interior.

Pentru a ramane fericit in fata obstacolelor, faceti progres. Doar pentru ca exista greutati, veti renunta la cursa? Intre voi si tel e posibil sa fie cateva obstacole, dar trebuie sa le depasiti. Daca spuneti „Nu vreau sa depasesc obstacolele, dar vreau sa ating telul,” cum va asteptati sa o faceti? Daca sunteti  la linia de start, trebuie sa fiti pregatiti sa intalniti dificultati. Atunci cand trebuie sa treceti peste o dificultate reala, veti vedea daca vreti cu adevarat sa va atingeti telul sau nu.

Credinta voastra veritabila in Dumnezeu

Poate cu usurinta sa infrunte

Nenumarate lovituri.

Never stop once you have started - Nu te opri niciodata odata ce ai inceput

Only one piece of advice I have for you: never stop once you have started!

When we become conscious seekers, devoted seekers, we accelerate our spiritual progress. Then God-realisation does not remain a far cry. But we have to start. Something seems difficult when we have not consciously started. Once we consciously started something, we have to know that that thing will not always remain difficult. If we start something unconsciously today, tomorrow we will not know that we actually started and, after a while, we may totally forget about the thing. But if today we pray to God soulfully and consciously, and if we continue in this way, then nothing will remain difficult.

Your God-search

is accelerating.

Therefore, God Himself

Is celebrating

Your graduation in Heaven.

Doar un mic sfat am pentru tine: nu te opri niciodata odata ce ai inceput.

Atunci cand devenim cautatori constienti,  cautatori devotati, ne aceleram progresul spiritual. Apoi realizarea-lui-Dumnezeu nu mai ramane un strigat indepartat. Dar trebuie sa incepem. Ceva pare dificil atunci cand nu am inceput in mod constient. Odata ce am inceput in mod constient ceva, trebuie sa stim ca acel lucru nu va ramane mereu dificil. Daca incepem ceva  inconstient astazi, maine nu vom sti ca de fapt am inceput sa facem acel lucru, si, dupa un timp, e posibil sa uitam cu totul de acel lucru. Dar daca astazi ne rugam la Dumnezeu in mod constient si cu insufletire, si daca continuam in felul acesta, atunci nimic nu va ramane dificil.

Cautarea-lui-Dumnezeu de catre tine

Este acelerata.

De aceea, Dumnezeu insusi

Celebreaza

Adimiterea ta in Rai.

Cosmic Game - Jocul Cosmic

Try to explore the limits of aspiration. God will give you the power of His self-giving Smile.

God will never be satisfied unless and until each individual has realized Him. That is His Will. But it is a long, arduous process.  Today somebody becomes perfect, tomorrow somebody else become perfect, and the day after a third person becomes perfect. God's Cosmic Game has to be consciously played by everyone. And in this Cosmic Game, everybody has to become perfect. Unless and until everybody becomes perfect, God's Game will never be completed. Just because it is difficult, we can not say that we shall not be able to complete the Game.

If your progress in one field

is obstructed,

Go another way.

There are so many ways open to you

if you look within.

Only do not give up

The idea of progress.

Incearca sa explorezi limitele aspiratiei. Dumnezeu iti va da puterea Zambetului sau care se daruieste-pe-sine.

Dumnezeu nu va fi multumit pana cand fiecare persoana nu il va realiza pe El. Aceasta este Vointa Lui. Dar este un proces lung si difiicil. Astazi cineva devine perfect, maine altcineva, iar poimaine o a treia persoana va deveni perfecta. Jocul Cosmic al lui Dumnezeu trebuie sa fie jucat in mod constient de fiecare. Si in acest Joc Cosmic, toti trebuie sa devina perfecti. Pana cand nu devine fiecare perfect, Jocul lui Dumnezeu nu va fi incheiat. Doar pentru ca e dificil, noi nu putem spune ca nu vom fi capabili sa terminam Jocul.

Daca progresul intr-o anumita directie

Iti este blocat,

Mergi in alta directie.

Sunt atat de multe cai deschise tie

Daca privesti in interior

Doar nu renunta

La ideea de progres.

The secret of inner success - Secretul succesului interior

The secret of inner success is constancy to our highest character.

When you enter the spiritual life, sometimes you see and feel many undivine qualities suddenly come to the fore. Do not think that weakness and imperfections are coming to the fore in you just because you have accepted the spiritual life. On the contrary, they were there before, but they were hidden. You should be grateful to your spiritual life for bringing your imperfections to the fore. The sooner your imperfections come to the fore, the sooner you will be able to face them and conquer them. So when doubt and other imperfections attack you, you should say, ”You have come. Now let me conquer you once and for all. Then I will be free.”

Be not afraid

Of your teeming imperfections.

Weep not bitterly,

For the divine hero in you

Will soon come to the fore.

Secretul succesului interior consta in constanta intru natura noastra cea mai inalta.

Atunci cand intrati in viata spirituala, uneori vedeti si simtiti ca dintr-odata multe calitati nedivine vin la suprafata. Nu trebuie sa credeti ca slabiciunile si imperfectiunile vin la suprafata in voi datorita faptului ca ati acceptat viata spirituala. Dimpotriva, ele erau acolo si inainte, dar erau ascunse. Ar trebui sa fiti recunoscatori vietii voastre spirituale pentru ca v-a adus imperfectiunile la suprafata. Cu cat mai devreme aceastea vor veni la suprafata, cu atat mai repede veti fi capabili sa le cuceriti. Asa ca atunci cand indoiala si alte imperfectiuni va ataca, ar trebui sa spuneti ”Ati venit. Acum lasati-ma sa va cuceresc odata pentru totdeauna. Apoi voi fi liber.”

Nu-ti fie teama

De imperfectiunile tale multiple.

Nu plange amar,

Caci eroul divin din tine

In curand va veni la suprafata.

Whatever - Tot

Whatever you have in your mind - forget it;
Whatever you have in your hand - give it;
Whatever is to be your fate - face it!

Tot ceea ce ai in minte - uita;
Tot ceea ce ai in mana - daruieste
Tot ceea ce este destinul tau - infrunta!
