I'm speaking about compassion from an Islamic point of view,
0
0
5000
Pričat ću Vam o samilosti sa stanovišta Islama,
00:17
and perhaps my faith is not very well thought of
1
5000
3000
jer se možda o mojoj vjeri ne razmišlja
00:20
as being one that is grounded in compassion.
2
8000
4000
kao o vjeri utemeljenoj na samilosti.
00:24
The truth of the matter is otherwise.
3
12000
2000
Prava istina je sasvim drugačija.
00:26
Our holy book, the Koran, consists of 114 chapters,
4
14000
6000
Naša sveta knjiga, Kur'an, sadrži 114 poglavlja,
00:32
and each chapter begins with what we call the basmala,
5
20000
4000
i svako poglavlje počinje s onim što mi nazivamo basmala (bismillah)
00:36
the saying of "In the name of God, the all compassionate, the all merciful,"
6
24000
6000
kazivanje u ime Boga, Milostivog, Samilosnog,
00:42
or, as Sir Richard Burton --
7
30000
2000
ili kako je to opisao Sir Richard Burton
00:44
not the Richard Burton who was married to Elizabeth Taylor,
8
32000
3000
ne onaj Richard Burton koji je oženio Elizabeth Taylor,
00:47
but the Sir Richard Burton who lived a century before that
9
35000
3000
nego Sir Richard Burton koji je živio stoljeće ranije
00:50
and who was a worldwide traveler
10
38000
2000
i koji je bio svjetski putnik
00:52
and translator of many works of literature --
11
40000
4000
i prevoditelj mnogih književnih djela,
00:56
translates it. "In the name of God, the compassionating, the compassionate."
12
44000
7000
on to prevodi kao "u ime Boga, milostivog, onog koji je samilostan"
01:03
And in a saying of the Koran, which to Muslims is God speaking to humanity,
13
51000
7000
I u kazivanju Kur'ana, koji je za muslimane obraćanje Boga ljudima,
01:10
God says to his prophet Muhammad --
14
58000
3000
Bog govori svom poslaniku Muhamedu
01:13
whom we believe to be the last of a series of prophets,
15
61000
3000
za kojeg vjerujemo da je zadnji u nizu poslanika
01:16
beginning with Adam, including Noah, including Moses, including Abraham,
16
64000
6000
počevši od Adama, uključujući Nou, Mojsija, Abrahama,
01:22
including Jesus Christ, and ending with Muhammad --
17
70000
4000
Isusa Krista i na kraju Muhammeda
01:26
that, "We have not sent you, O Muhammad,
18
74000
3000
i kaže: "Nisam te poslao, o Muhammede
01:29
except as a 'rahmah,' except as a source of compassion to humanity."
19
77000
6000
osim da budeš raham, osim da budeš izvor milostivosti ljudskom rodu."
01:35
For us human beings, and certainly for us as Muslims,
20
83000
4000
I za nas kao ljudska bića, naročito za nas muslimane,
01:39
whose mission, and whose purpose in following the path of the prophet
21
87000
5000
čiji je zadatak i cilj slijediti put Poslanika,
01:44
is to make ourselves as much like the prophet.
22
92000
4000
i postati što sličniji Poslaniku
01:48
And the prophet, in one of his sayings, said,
23
96000
2000
sam Poslanik je u jednoj svojoj propovjedi rekao:
01:50
"Adorn yourselves with the attributes of God."
24
98000
5000
-"Okitite se s svojstvima Boga."
01:55
And because God Himself said that the primary attribute of his is compassion --
25
103000
6000
A sam Bog je rekao da je njegova najvažnija osobina suosjećajnost-milostivost.
02:01
in fact, the Koran says that "God decreed upon himself compassion,"
26
109000
5000
U stvari Kur'an kaže, "Bog je od Sebe naredio milostivost"
02:06
or, "reigned himself in by compassion" --
27
114000
4000
ili "upravlja u Svojoj Milostivosti"
02:10
therefore, our objective and our mission must be to be sources of compassion,
28
118000
7000
Stoga naš zadatak, naš cilj mora biti da postanemo izvori milostivosti
02:17
activators of compassion, actors of compassion
29
125000
4000
da pokrećemo milostivost, da djelujemo milostivo,
02:21
and speakers of compassion and doers of compassion.
30
129000
4000
da imamo ulogu onih koji zagovaraju milostivost i budemo aktivni u činjenju milostivosti.
02:25
That is all well and good,
31
133000
3000
To je sve lijepo i dobro,
02:28
but where do we go wrong,
32
136000
3000
ali kuda smo to skrenuli?
02:31
and what is the source of the lack of compassion in the world?
33
139000
5000
Šta je izvor nedostatka milostivosti na svijetu?
02:36
For the answer to this, we turn to our spiritual path.
34
144000
5000
Da bi odgovorili na ovo, vratit ćemo se našem duhovnom putu.
02:41
In every religious tradition, there is the outer path and the inner path,
35
149000
7000
U svakoj religijskoj tradiciji postoji ono što nazivamo vanjskim i unutrašnjim putem.
02:48
or the exoteric path and the esoteric path.
36
156000
5000
Egzoteričnim i ezoteričnim putem.
02:53
The esoteric path of Islam is more popularly known as Sufism, or "tasawwuf" in Arabic.
37
161000
8000
Ezoterični put Islama, poznatiji je pod nazivom Sufizam ili tasawuf na arapskom.
03:01
And these doctors or these masters,
38
169000
3000
Ti majstori i duhovni učitelji
03:04
these spiritual masters of the Sufi tradition,
39
172000
4000
Sufijske tradicije
03:08
refer to teachings and examples of our prophet
40
176000
4000
pozivaju se na učenja i primjere našeg Poslanika,
03:12
that teach us where the source of our problems lies.
41
180000
4000
koja nas uče gdje su zapravo uzroci naših problema.
03:16
In one of the battles that the prophet waged,
42
184000
4000
U jednom od ratnih pohoda koje je predvodio Poslanik,
03:20
he told his followers, "We are returning from the lesser war
43
188000
5000
on je rekao svojim sljedbenicima "Vraćamo se iz manjeg rata
03:25
to the greater war, to the greater battle."
44
193000
4000
I ulazimo u veći rat, u veliku borbu".
03:29
And they said, "Messenger of God, we are battle-weary.
45
197000
5000
A sljedbenici su odgovorili, "Božji Poslaniče, mi smo umorni od ratovanja.
03:34
How can we go to a greater battle?"
46
202000
3000
Kako sad da idemo u još veću bitku?"
03:37
He said, "That is the battle of the self, the battle of the ego."
47
205000
8000
On je odgovorio, "To je borba sa sobom, borba s egom (sebičnošću)."
03:45
The sources of human problems have to do with egotism, "I."
48
213000
9000
Uzroci ljudskih problema leže u sebičnosti, JA!
03:54
The famous Sufi master Rumi, who is very well known to most of you,
49
222000
6000
Čuveni Sufija učitelj Rumi, koji je dobro poznat mnogima u ovoj dvorani,
04:00
has a story in which he talks of a man who goes to the house of a friend,
50
228000
6000
ispričao je priču o čovjeku koji ide posjetiti prijatelja.
04:06
and he knocks on the door,
51
234000
3000
Pokuca na vrata
04:09
and a voice answers, "Who's there?"
52
237000
3000
i čuje glas: "Ko je?"
04:12
"It's me," or, more grammatically correctly, "It is I,"
53
240000
5000
"Ja sam" ili možda bolje rečeno, "To sam JA"
04:17
as we might say in English.
54
245000
2000
kako bi to rekli na engleskom.
04:19
The voice says, "Go away."
55
247000
3000
Glas reče: "Odlazi!"
04:22
After many years of training, of disciplining, of search and struggle,
56
250000
8000
Nakon mnogo godina vježbe, discipline, potrage i unutarnje borbe,
04:30
he comes back.
57
258000
2000
čovjek se vratio.
04:32
With much greater humility, he knocks again on the door.
58
260000
4000
I puno poniznije, ponovo je pokucao na vrata.
04:36
The voice asks, "Who is there?"
59
264000
3000
Opet je čuo glas: "Ko je?"
04:39
He said, "It is you, O heartbreaker."
60
267000
4000
Odgovorio je: "Pa to si Ti, o srcelomitelju."
04:43
The door swings open, and the voice says,
61
271000
4000
Vrata se otvoriše i glas kaže:
04:47
"Come in, for there is no room in this house for two I's,"
62
275000
7000
"Uđi, jer u ovoj kući nema mjesta za dva JA
04:54
-- two capital I's, not these eyes -- "for two egos."
63
282000
4000
(engl. ajz - igra riječi - ajz znači i oči), za dva Ega."
04:58
And Rumi's stories are metaphors for the spiritual path.
64
286000
9000
Rumijeve priče su metafore za duhovni put.
05:07
In the presence of God, there is no room for more than one "I,"
65
295000
6000
U prisustvu Boga, nema mjesta za više nego jedno JA,
05:13
and that is the "I" of divinity.
66
301000
5000
a to je božansko JA.
05:18
In a teaching -- called a "hadith qudsi" in our tradition --
67
306000
4000
U učenjima koja se zovu Hadit kudsi u našoj tradiciji,
05:22
God says that, "My servant," or "My creature, my human creature,
68
310000
6000
Bog kaže, "Moj sluga" ili "Moje stvorenje, moje ljudsko stvorenje,
05:28
does not approach me by anything that is dearer to me
69
316000
6000
ne može me ničim više razgaliti,
05:34
than what I have asked them to do."
70
322000
3000
nego čineći ono što zatražih."
05:37
And those of you who are employers know exactly what I mean.
71
325000
4000
I oni od vas koji su poslodavci tačno znate na što mislim.
05:41
You want your employees to do what you ask them to do,
72
329000
4000
Vi želite da vaši zaposlenici naprave što ste tražili od njih.
05:45
and if they've done that, then they can do extra.
73
333000
2000
I ako su to napravili, mogu napraviti i nešto dodatno,
05:47
But don't ignore what you've asked them to do.
74
335000
3000
, ali ne smiju zanemariti ono što ste vi tražili da naprave.
05:50
"And," God says, "my servant continues to get nearer to me,
75
338000
6000
I Bog reče, "Moj rob to mi je bliži
05:56
by doing more of what I've asked them to do" --
76
344000
3000
što više čini ono, što tražim od njega".
05:59
extra credit, we might call it --
77
347000
2000
Mi bi to nazvali "dopunske zasluge" .
06:01
"until I love him or love her.
78
349000
4000
"sve dok ga (ju) ljubim."
06:05
And when I love my servant," God says,
79
353000
3000
"I kad volim svog roba" reče Bog,
06:08
"I become the eyes by which he or she sees,
80
356000
6000
"postajem oči kojima gleda on ili ona,
06:14
the ears by which he or she listens,
81
362000
6000
postajem uši kojima sluša,
06:20
the hand by which he or she grasps,
82
368000
5000
postajem ruka kojom hvata
06:25
and the foot by which he or she walks,
83
373000
4000
i noga kojom hoda
06:29
and the heart by which he or she understands."
84
377000
5000
i srce kojim razumije."
06:34
It is this merging of our self with divinity
85
382000
5000
To nas povezuje s božanskim
06:39
that is the lesson and purpose of our spiritual path and all of our faith traditions.
86
387000
8000
i to je poruka i cilj našeg duhovnog puta i svih naših vjerske tradicije.
06:47
Muslims regard Jesus as the master of Sufism,
87
395000
6000
Muslimani prihvaćaju Isusa kao učitelja Sufizma
06:53
the greatest prophet and messenger who came to emphasize the spiritual path.
88
401000
7000
kao najvećeg Poslanika i glasnika koji je došao istaknuti duhovni put.
07:00
When he says, "I am the spirit, and I am the way,"
89
408000
4000
Kada kaže, "Ja sam duša, ja sam put"
07:04
and when the prophet Muhammad said, "Whoever has seen me has seen God,"
90
412000
5000
kada Poslanik Muhamed kaže: "Ko je vidio mene, kao da je vidio Boga",
07:09
it is because they became so much an instrument of God,
91
417000
5000
to je zato što su oni postali toliko bliski Bogu
07:14
they became part of God's team --
92
422000
2000
da su postali dio Božanskog daha.
07:16
so that God's will was manifest through them,
93
424000
4000
tako da se kroz njih očitovala Božja volja
07:20
and they were not acting from their own selves and their own egos.
94
428000
4000
i oni nisu djelovali svojom voljom ili zbog sebe.
07:24
Compassion on earth is given, it is in us.
95
432000
7000
Samilost nam je darovana, ona je u nama.
07:31
All we have to do is to get our egos out of the way,
96
439000
5000
Jedino što moramo napraviti je da uklonimo ego s puta,
07:36
get our egotism out of the way.
97
444000
3000
uklonimo naš egoizam s puta.
07:39
I'm sure, probably all of you here, or certainly the very vast majority of you,
98
447000
8000
Siguran sam da ste svi ovdje ili barem velika većina vas
07:47
have had what you might call a spiritual experience,
99
455000
4000
doživjeli ono što nazivamo duhovnim iskustvom.
07:51
a moment in your lives when, for a few seconds, a minute perhaps,
100
459000
7000
Trenutak u svom životu, možda nekoliko trenutaka,ili minuta
07:58
the boundaries of your ego dissolved.
101
466000
6000
kad ste zbacili okove ega.
08:04
And at that minute, you felt at one with the universe --
102
472000
7000
U tim trenucima ste se osjećali kao dio uiniverzuma,
08:11
one with that jug of water, one with every human being,
103
479000
6000
postali ste jedno sa ovom posudom vode, jedno sa svakim ljudskim bićem,
08:17
one with the Creator --
104
485000
4000
jedno sa svojim Stvoriteljem,
08:21
and you felt you were in the presence of power, of awe,
105
489000
5000
i osjetili ste prisustvo snage, strahopoštovanja,
08:26
of the deepest love, the deepest sense of compassion and mercy
106
494000
4000
duboke ljubavi i snažan osjećaj saosjećanja i milosti
08:30
that you have ever experienced in your lives.
107
498000
4000
koji ste ikad iskusili u svom životu.
08:34
That is a moment which is a gift of God to us --
108
502000
6000
Taj trenutak je Božji dar nama,
08:40
a gift when, for a moment, he lifts that boundary
109
508000
4000
dar kojim, na trenutak,, otklanja sve ograničenja
08:44
which makes us insist on "I, I, I, me, me, me,"
110
512000
6000
koje nas inače tjeraju da naglašavamo JA, JA, JA, MENE, MENE,MENE
08:50
and instead, like the person in Rumi's story,
111
518000
4000
umjesto da kažemo,kao što to čini ličnost iz Rumijeve priče,
08:54
we say, "Oh, this is all you.
112
522000
6000
da kažemo:"O, to si sve TI."
09:00
This is all you. And this is all us.
113
528000
2000
To si sve Ti. A ovo je sve mi.
09:02
And us, and I, and us are all part of you.
114
530000
6000
I Mi, i JA smo dio Tebe Stvoritelju.
09:08
O, Creator! O, the Objective! The source of our being
115
536000
6000
Sve kreacije, svi ciljevi, svrhe našeg postojanja,
09:14
and the end of our journey,
116
542000
2000
I kraj našeg putovanja.
09:16
you are also the breaker of our hearts.
117
544000
5000
Ti Si onaj koji se voli.
09:21
You are the one whom we should all be towards, for whose purpose we live,
118
549000
6000
Ti Si onaj kome trebamo težiti, za čiju svrhu mi živimo,
09:27
and for whose purpose we shall die,
119
555000
4000
I za čiju svrhu ćemo umrijeti,
09:31
and for whose purpose we shall be resurrected again
120
559000
4000
I za čiju svrhu ćemo ponovo biti oživljeni,
09:35
to account to God to what extent we have been compassionate beings."
121
563000
7000
I položiti račun o tome koliko smo bili samilosni.
09:42
Our message today, and our purpose today,
122
570000
4000
Naša poruka danas i naš cilj danas,
09:46
and those of you who are here today,
123
574000
3000
I vas koji ste ovdje danas,
09:49
and the purpose of this charter of compassion, is to remind.
124
577000
5000
i cilj ovog izlaganja o samilosti, je da nas podsjeti.
09:54
For the Koran always urges us to remember, to remind each other,
125
582000
8000
Kur'an nas opominje da zapamtimo, da podsjećamo jedan drugoga,
10:02
because the knowledge of truth is within every human being.
126
590000
8000
na znanje o istini koju u sebi nosi svako ljudsko biće.
10:10
We know it all.
127
598000
3000
Svi mi to znamo.
10:13
We have access to it all.
128
601000
2000
Čak svi imamo pristup tome.
10:15
Jung may have called it "the subconscious."
129
603000
4000
Jung (Carl Gustav Jung psihijata rop.p) bi to mogao nazvati podsvješću
10:19
Through our subconscious, in your dreams --
130
607000
4000
Kroz našu podsvjest ,u našim snovima,
10:23
the Koran calls our state of sleep "the lesser death,"
131
611000
8000
koje Kur'an, to naše stanje sna, naziva manja smrt,
10:31
"the temporary death" --
132
619000
4000
privremena smrt,
10:35
in our state of sleep we have dreams, we have visions,
133
623000
5000
U stanju spavanja imamo snove, imamo vizije,
10:40
we travel even outside of our bodies, for many of us,
134
628000
6000
putujemo izvan našeg tijela, mnogi od nas,
10:46
and we see wonderful things.
135
634000
3000
i vidimo prekrasne stvari.
10:49
We travel beyond the limitations of space as we know it,
136
637000
5000
Putujemo bez ograničenja prostorom kojeg znamo,
10:54
and beyond the limitations of time as we know it.
137
642000
4000
putujemo bez ograničenja vremenom kojeg znamo.
10:58
But all this is for us to glorify the name of the creator
138
646000
10000
Ali to sve nam je dano da uzdižemo ime Stvoritelja
11:08
whose primary name is the compassionating, the compassionate.
139
656000
6000
čije je pravo ime Milostivi, onaj koji je Samilostan.
11:14
God, Bokh, whatever name you want to call him with, Allah, Ram, Om,
140
662000
7000
Bog, Bokh, ili kojim god Ga imenom nazivali, Allah, Ram, Om,
11:21
whatever the name might be through which you name
141
669000
3000
kojim god imenom se služili,
11:24
or access the presence of divinity,
142
672000
4000
ili pristupili stvarnosti Stvoritelja
11:28
it is the locus of absolute being,
143
676000
6000
je mjesto apsolutnog bića,
11:34
absolute love and mercy and compassion,
144
682000
4000
apsolutne ljubavi, milosrđa i samilosti
11:38
and absolute knowledge and wisdom,
145
686000
3000
apsolutnog znanja i mudrosti,
11:41
what Hindus call "satchidananda."
146
689000
3000
koje Hindusi nazivaju Sačitananda.
11:44
The language differs,
147
692000
3000
Jezici su različiti
11:47
but the objective is the same.
148
695000
4000
ali cilj je isti.
11:51
Rumi has another story
149
699000
2000
Rumi ima drugu priču
11:53
about three men, a Turk, an Arab and --
150
701000
3000
o trojici: Turčinu, Arapu
11:56
and I forget the third person, but for my sake, it could be a Malay.
151
704000
4000
i zaboravio sam treću osobu, ali neka to bude recimo, Malajac.
12:00
One is asking for angur -- one is, say, an Englishman --
152
708000
3000
Jedan traži angour, a jedan od njih govori engleski,
12:03
one is asking for eneb, and one is asking for grapes.
153
711000
5000
jedan traži eneb i jedan traži grapes (engl. grožđe).
12:08
And they have a fight and an argument because
154
716000
3000
I oni se oko toga svađaju i prepiru jer,
12:11
-- "I want grapes." "I want eneb. "I want angur." --
155
719000
4000
Ja želim grožđe, ja želim eneb, ja želim angour,
12:15
not knowing that the word that they're using
156
723000
3000
a ne znaju da se ta riječ
12:18
refers to the same reality in different languages.
157
726000
3000
odnosi na istu stvarnost samo na različitim jezicima!
12:21
There's only one absolute reality by definition,
158
729000
6000
Po definiciji postoji samo jedna apsolutna stvarnost,
12:27
one absolute being by definition,
159
735000
3000
jedan apsolut, biće po definiciji,
12:30
because absolute is, by definition, single,
160
738000
3000
jer apsolutno je, po definiciji, jedno
12:33
and absolute and singular.
161
741000
3000
apsolutno i jednina.
12:36
There's this absolute concentration of being,
162
744000
3000
Ovdje je apsolutna koncentracija postojanja,
12:39
the absolute concentration of consciousness,
163
747000
3000
apsolutna koncentracija svijesti,
12:42
awareness, an absolute locus of compassion and love
164
750000
10000
svjesnosti, apsolutno mjesto samilosti i ljubavi
12:52
that defines the primary attributes of divinity.
165
760000
4000
koje definira glavnu osobinu Božanskoga.
12:56
And these should also be
166
764000
3000
I to bi također trebala biti
12:59
the primary attributes of what it means to be human.
167
767000
5000
glavna osobina za ono što mi nazivamo čovječnost.
13:04
For what defines humanity, perhaps biologically,
168
772000
6000
Ono što definira čovječnost, u biološkom smislu,
13:10
is our physiology,
169
778000
3000
je naša fiziologija.
13:13
but God defines humanity by our spirituality, by our nature.
170
781000
8000
Ali Bog definira čovječnost našom duhovnosti, našom prirodom.
13:21
And the Koran says, He speaks to the angels and says,
171
789000
4000
I Kur'an kaže, on govori anđelima i kaže:
13:25
"When I have finished the formation of Adam from clay,
172
793000
4000
:"Kada završim stvaranje Adama od gline,
13:29
and breathed into him of my spirit,
173
797000
4000
I udahnem mu dušu od Mog Duha,
13:33
then, fall in prostration to him."
174
801000
4000
tad mu se svi poklonite (padnite ničice pred njim).
13:37
The angels prostrate, not before the human body,
175
805000
8000
Anđeli su se poklonili, , ne pred ljudskim tijelom,
13:45
but before the human soul.
176
813000
3000
nego pred ljudskom dušom.
13:48
Why? Because the soul, the human soul,
177
816000
4000
Zašto? Zato što duša, ljudska duša,
13:52
embodies a piece of the divine breath,
178
820000
6000
sadrži dio božanstvenog daha,
13:58
a piece of the divine soul.
179
826000
3000
komadić božanske duše.
14:01
This is also expressed in biblical vocabulary
180
829000
5000
To je također iskazano Biblijskim riječnikom
14:06
when we are taught that we were created in the divine image.
181
834000
6000
kad smo poučeni da smo stvoreni na sliku božju.
14:12
What is the imagery of God?
182
840000
2000
Šta je slika Božja?
14:14
The imagery of God is absolute being,
183
842000
4000
Slika božja je apsolutno biće,
14:18
absolute awareness and knowledge and wisdom
184
846000
3000
apsolutna svjest te znanje i mudrost
14:21
and absolute compassion and love.
185
849000
3000
i apsolutna samilost i ljubav.
14:24
And therefore, for us to be human --
186
852000
4000
I zato, za nas biti čovjekom,
14:28
in the greatest sense of what it means to be human,
187
856000
4000
u najvećem značenju onoga što podrazumjevamo pod riječi čovjek I čovječnost,
14:32
in the most joyful sense of what it means to be human --
188
860000
3000
u najradosnijem osjećaju onoga što znači biti čovjek,
14:35
means that we too have to be proper stewards
189
863000
6000
sastoji se u tome da moramo pravilno upravljati
14:41
of the breath of divinity within us,
190
869000
4000
dahom božjim u nama,
14:45
and seek to perfect within ourselves the attribute of being,
191
873000
5000
i težiti usavršavanju naših osobina ,
14:50
of being alive, of beingness;
192
878000
3000
života, bivanja,
14:53
the attribute of wisdom, of consciousness, of awareness;
193
881000
5000
osobinu mudrosti, svjesnosti, postojanja,
14:58
and the attribute of being compassionate and loving beings.
194
886000
5000
i osobinu suosjećanja i bića koje voli.
15:03
This is what I understand from my faith tradition,
195
891000
6000
To je ono što sam shvatio iz moje vjerske tradicije,
15:09
and this is what I understand from my studies of other faith traditions,
196
897000
7000
i to je što sam shvatio proučavajući tradicije drugih vjera.
15:16
and this is the common platform on which we must all stand,
197
904000
6000
To je zajednička platforma na koju svi moramo stati
15:22
and when we stand on this platform as such,
198
910000
3000
I kada svi budemo stajali na toj platformi kao takvoj,
15:25
I am convinced that we can make a wonderful world.
199
913000
6000
uvjeren sam da možemo stvoriti divan svijet.
15:31
And I believe, personally, that we're on the verge
200
919000
6000
I osobno vjerujem da smo na rubu toga
15:37
and that, with the presence and help of people like you here,
201
925000
4000
da se to I desi i da uz pomoć ljudi poput vas ovdje,
15:41
we can bring about the prophecy of Isaiah.
202
929000
6000
možemo ispuniti Izajino proročanstvo.
15:47
For he foretold of a period
203
935000
4000
On je prorekao razdoblje
15:51
when people shall transform their swords into plowshares
204
939000
7000
kad će ljudi mačeve pretopiti u plugove
15:58
and will not learn war or make war anymore.
205
946000
6000
i neće više učiti o ratovanju niti voditi ratove.
16:04
We have reached a stage in human history that we have no option:
206
952000
6000
Dostigli smo razdoblje u ljudskoj historiji u kojem nemamo izbora.
16:10
we must, we must lower our egos,
207
958000
9000
MI moramo,moramo smanjiti naša ega,
16:19
control our egos -- whether it is individual ego, personal ego,
208
967000
5000
kontrolirati naša ega, bilo da je to naš, osobni ego,
16:24
family ego, national ego --
209
972000
6000
porodični ego, nacionalni ego,
16:30
and let all be for the glorification of the one.
210
978000
5000
i pustiti da sve bude u slavu Jednoga .
16:35
Thank you, and God bless you.
211
983000
2000
Hvala vam i Bog vas blagoslovio
16:37
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Feisal Abdul Rauf - Chairman of the Cordoba InitiativeImam Feisal Abdul Rauf has devoted himself to healing relations between Muslim-Americans and their neighbors, and bringing that message of peace to the wider Muslim world.
Why you should listen
In 2003, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf founded the Cordoba Initiative, a non-partisan and international organization that works to provide innovative solutions to conflict between Muslim and Western communities. He also serves as chair of the Initiative, actively promoting and moderating dialogue between individuals and groups. What’s more, this project was not the Imam's first foray into interreligious talks. In 1997, he started the American Society for Muslim Advancement (ASMA), a group that brings American Muslims and non-Muslims together through programs in policy, current affairs and culture.
Also, Imam Rauf regularly attends the Council on Foreign Relations and the World Economic Forum (both Davos and Dead Sea) and has written three books on the topic of bringing peace to Islam's relations: Islam: A Search for Meaning; Islam: A Sacred Law; and What's Right With Islam: A New Vision for Muslims and the West. He continues to balance his mission of creating peace with his regular duties as Imam of Masjid al-Farah, a mosque twelve blocks from Ground Zero in New York City, that he has led for 25 years.
