Vrste vjere

The Divisions of Faith

STIH 1:
Arjuna upita: O Kṛṣṇa, kakav je položaj onih koji ne slijede načela spisa, već obožavaju po vlastitu nahođenju? Jesu li u vrlini, strasti ili neznanju?
TEXT 1:
Arjuna inquired: O Kṛṣṇa, what is the situation of those who do not follow the principles of scripture but worship according to their own imagination? Are they in goodness, in passion or in ignorance?
STIH 2:
Svevišnja Božanska Osoba reče: Ovisno o guṇama prirode koje je stekla, utjelovljena duša može imati tri vrste vjere – u vrlini, strasti i neznanju. Počuj sada o tome.
TEXT 2:
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: According to the modes of nature acquired by the embodied soul, one’s faith can be of three kinds – in goodness, in passion or in ignorance. Now hear about this.
STIH 3:
O Bharatin sine, ovisno o svom postojanju pod utjecajem različitih guṇa prirode živo biće razvija određenu vrstu vjere. Smatra se da ima određenu vjeru prema guṇama koje je steklo.
TEXT 3:
O son of Bharata, according to one’s existence under the various modes of nature, one evolves a particular kind of faith. The living being is said to be of a particular faith according to the modes he has acquired.
STIH 4:
Ljudi u guṇi vrline obožavaju polubogove, ljudi u guṇi strasti obožavaju demone, a ljudi u guṇi neznanja obožavaju sablasti i duhove.
TEXT 4:
Men in the mode of goodness worship the demigods; those in the mode of passion worship the demons; and those in the mode of ignorance worship ghosts and spirits.
STIHOVI 5-6:
Oni koji se podvrgavaju oštrim strogostima i pokorama koje nisu preporučene u spisima i vrše ih iz ponosa i sebičnosti, gonjeni požudom i vezanošću, koji su budalasti i muče materijalne elemente u tijelu, kao i Nad-dušu koja u tijelu prebiva, poznati su kao demoni.
TEXTS 5-6:
Those who undergo severe austerities and penances not recommended in the scriptures, performing them out of pride and egoism, who are impelled by lust and attachment, who are foolish and who torture the material elements of the body as well as the Supersoul dwelling within, are to be known as demons.
STIH 7:
Ovisno o tri guṇe materijalne prirode, postoje tri vrste omiljene hrane, žrtvovanja, strogosti i milostinje. Počuj sada o njihovim razlikama.
TEXT 7:
Even the food each person prefers is of three kinds, according to the three modes of material nature. The same is true of sacrifices, austerities and charity. Now hear of the distinctions between them.
STIH 8:
Hrana koja je draga osobama u guṇi vrline produžava život, pročišćava postojanje i daje snagu, zdravlje, sreću i zadovoljstvo. Takva je hrana sočna, masna i zdrava i godi srcu.
TEXT 8:
Foods dear to those in the mode of goodness increase the duration of life, purify one’s existence and give strength, health, happiness and satisfaction. Such foods are juicy, fatty, wholesome, and pleasing to the heart.
STIH 9:
Hrana koja je previše gorka, kisela, slana, ljuta, oštra, suha i vruća draga je osobama u guṇi strasti. Takva hrana uzrokuje nesreću, bijedu i bolest.
TEXT 9:
Foods that are too bitter, too sour, salty, hot, pungent, dry and burning are dear to those in the mode of passion. Such foods cause distress, misery and disease.
STIH 10:
Hrana koja je pripremljena više od tri sata prije jela, hrana koja je bezukusna, trula i smrdljiva i hrana koja se sastoji od ostataka i nedodirljivih stvari draga je osobama u guṇi tame.
TEXT 10:
Food prepared more than three hours before being eaten, food that is tasteless, decomposed and putrid, and food consisting of remnants and untouchable things is dear to those in the mode of darkness.
STIH 11:
Žrtvovanje koje prema odredbama spisa, iz dužnosti, vrše oni koji ne žele nagradu ima prirodu vrline.
TEXT 11:
Of sacrifices, the sacrifice performed according to the directions of scripture, as a matter of duty, by those who desire no reward, is of the nature of goodness.
STIH 12:
O vođo Bhārata, znaj da je žrtvovanje koje se vrši radi stjecanja materijalne dobrobiti ili zbog ponosa u guṇi strasti.
TEXT 12:
But the sacrifice performed for some material benefit, or for the sake of pride, O chief of the Bhāratas, you should know to be in the mode of passion.
STIH 13:
Smatra se da je svako žrtvovanje u kojem se zanemaruju odredbe spisa, u kojem se ne dijeli prasādam [duhovna hrana], u kojem se ne recitiraju vedske himne i ne nagrađuju svećenici i koje se vrši bez vjere, u guṇi neznanja.
TEXT 13:
Any sacrifice performed without regard for the directions of scripture, without distribution of prasādam [spiritual food], without chanting of Vedic hymns and remunerations to the priests, and without faith is considered to be in the mode of ignorance.
STIH 14:
Obožavanje Svevišnjeg Gospodina, brāhmaṇa, duhovnog učitelja i nadređenih, kao što su otac i majka, čistoća, jednostavnost, celibat i nenasilje predstavljaju strogosti tijela.
TEXT 14:
Austerity of the body consists in worship of the Supreme Lord, the brāhmaṇas, the spiritual master, and superiors like the father and mother, and in cleanliness, simplicity, celibacy and nonviolence.
STIH 15:
Izgovaranje ugodnih, istinitih riječi koje pružaju dobrobit i ne uznemiruje druge te redovito recitiranje vedskih spisa predstavljaju strogosti govora.
TEXT 15:
Austerity of speech consists in speaking words that are truthful, pleasing, beneficial, and not agitating to others, and also in regularly reciting Vedic literature.
STIH 16:
Zadovoljstvo, jednostavnost, ozbiljnost, samoovladanost i pročišćenje postojanja, strogosti su uma.
TEXT 16:
And satisfaction, simplicity, gravity, self-control and purification of one’s existence are the austerities of the mind.
STIH 17:
Ova trostruka strogost, koju s transcendentalnom vjerom vrše ljudi koji ne očekuju materijalne dobrobiti, već djeluju samo radi Svevišnjeg, naziva se strogošću u vrlini.
TEXT 17:
This threefold austerity, performed with transcendental faith by men not expecting material benefits but engaged only for the sake of the Supreme, is called austerity in goodness.
STIH 18:
Kaže se da je pokora izvršena iz ponosa, radi stjecanja poštovanja, ugleda i obožavanja, u guṇi strasti. Takva pokora nije ni postojana niti stalna.
TEXT 18:
Penance performed out of pride and for the sake of gaining respect, honor and worship is said to be in the mode of passion. It is neither stable nor permanent.
STIH 19:
Kaže se da je pokora učinjena iz ludosti, kojom osoba muči samu sebe kako bi uništila ili povrijedila druge, u guṇi neznanja.
TEXT 19:

STIH 20:
Smatra se da je milostinja koju osoba daje iz dužnosti, u pravo vrijeme i na pravom mjestu, dostojnoj osobi, bez očekivanja nečega za uzvrat, milostinja u guṇi vrline.
TEXT 20:
Charity given out of duty, without expectation of return, at the proper time and place, and to a worthy person is considered to be in the mode of goodness.
STIH 21:
Za milostinju koja se daje nerado, s očekivanjem nečega za uzvrat ili sa željom za plodonosnim rezultatima, kaže se da je milostinja u guṇi strasti.
TEXT 21:
But charity performed with the expectation of some return, or with a desire for fruitive results, or in a grudging mood is said to be charity in the mode of passion.
STIH 22:
Za milostinju koja se daje na nečistom mjestu, u pogrešno vrijeme, nedostojnim osobama, bez pravog obzira i poštovanja, kaže se da je u guṇi neznanja.
TEXT 22:
And charity performed at an impure place, at an improper time, to unworthy persons, or without proper attention and respect is said to be in the mode of ignorance.
STIH 23:
Od početka kreacije, tri riječi – oṁ tat sat – koriste se za upućivanje na Vrhovnu Apsolutnu Istinu. Ta su tri simbola koristili brāhmaṇe dok su recitirali vedske himne i vršili žrtvovanja za zadovoljstvo Svevišnjeg.
TEXT 23:
From the beginning of creation, the three words oṁ tat sat were used to indicate the Supreme Absolute Truth. These three symbolic representations were used by brāhmaṇas while chanting the hymns of the Vedas and during sacrifices for the satisfaction of the Supreme.
STIH 24:
Stoga transcendentalisti koji vrše žrtvovanja i pokore i daju milostinju u skladu s propisima spisa uvijek na početku izgovaraju oṁ, kako bi dostigli Svevišnjeg.
TEXT 24:
Therefore, transcendentalists undertaking performances of sacrifice, charity and penance in accordance with scriptural regulations begin always with oṁ, to attain the Supreme.
STIH 25:
Čovjek treba, bez želje za plodonosnim rezultatima, vršiti razne vrste žrtvovanja i pokora i davati milostinju, izgovarajući riječ „tat". Svrha je takvih transcendentalnih djelatnosti oslobođenje od materijalne zapletenosti.
TEXT 25:
Without desiring fruitive results, one should perform various kinds of sacrifice, penance and charity with the word tat. The purpose of such transcendental activities is to get free from material entanglement.
STIHOVI 26-27:
Riječ „sat" upućuje na Apsolutnu Istinu, koja je cilj žrtvovanja s predanošću. Vršitelj takvog žrtvovanja također se naziva „sat", kao i sve žrtve, milostinje i pokore koje se, u skladu s apsolutnom prirodom, vrše za zadovoljstvo Vrhovne Osobe, o Pṛthin sine.
TEXTS 26-27:
The Absolute Truth is the objective of devotional sacrifice, and it is indicated by the word sat. The performer of such sacrifice is also called sat, as are all works of sacrifice, penance and charity which, true to the absolute nature, are performed to please the Supreme Person, O son of Pṛthā.
STIH 28:
O Pṛthin sine, svako žrtvovanje, milostinja ili pokora koji se vrše bez vjere u Svevišnjeg su prolazni. Nazivaju se „asat" i beskorisni su i u ovom i u sljedećem životu.
TEXT 28:
Anything done as sacrifice, charity or penance without faith in the Supreme, O son of Pṛthā, is impermanent. It is called asat and is useless both in this life and the next.
