LA MULȚI ANI, dragă Lucian!
Ce voce mai graitoare as putea alătura urării mele de ziua ta, decât vocea Reginei Maria, a cărei rasunet dăinuie in constiinta intregului si a carei putere este nesfarsita in intensitate, valoare si intelegere! De aceea, am selectat, din multimea marturiilor personale ale acestei Regine, unica in istoria omenirii prin bunatatea cu care a stiut sa traiasca rolul tuturor si cu care si-a realizat viata in infinit, un articol pe care l-a scris pentru ziarul ”The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin”, in 1926, cu ocazia vizitei sale in S.U.A.
Este fara indoiala ca relatia noastra a fost imbogatita si mai mult de aceasta personalitate istorica de talie mondiala, relatie care, prin efort comun, a dus la realizarea primului nostru material video – prima noastra colaborare din campul media – dedicat rodului de mare insemnatate a vietii acestei personalitati: Unificarea României de la 1918 si serviciul său devotat, animat de o credinta de nastramutat in Dumnezeu si adus in slujba tuturor romanilor.
Este, pe drept cuvant, o adevarata bucurie pentru mine si o ocazie speciala, ca, astazi, de ziua ta, sa iti pot transmite cele mai nobile sentimente de prietenie, iubire, respect si recunostinta pentru aceasta frumoasa colaborare si servire, atat in domeniul media, cat si in comunitatea frateasca a romanilor si a tuturor semenilor nostri din intreaga lume.
Sanatate si putere de munca in continuare, ocrotire si confirmari divine in tot ce-ti propui, inspiratie si impliniri pe toate planurile vietii si calde imbratisari, tie si intregii tale familii!
Am ales sa iti ofer acest articol in limba in care Regina Maria l-a compus, fara a-i strivi candoarea sentimentului prin traducere:
“At first we all conceive of God as something or somebody apart from ourselves. We think He is something or somebody definite, outside of us, whose quality, meaning and so-to-say “personality” we can grasp with our human, finite minds, and express in mere words.
This is not so. We cannot, with our earthly faculties entirely grasp His meaning—no more than we can really understand the meaning of Eternity.
God is certainly not the old Fatherly gentleman with the long beard that in our childhood we saw pictured sitting amongst clouds on the throne of judgment, holding the lightning of vengeance in His hand.
God is something simpler, happier, and yet infinitely more tremendous. God is All, Everything. He is the power behind all beginnings. He is the inexhaustible source of supply, of love, of good, of progress, of achievement. God is therefore Happiness.
His is the voice within us that shows us good and evil.
But mostly we ignore or misunderstand this voice. Therefore did He choose his Elect to come down amongst us upon earth to make clear His word, His real meaning. Therefore the Prophets; therefore Christ, Muhammad, Bahá’u’lláh, for man needs from time to time a voice upon earth to bring God to him, to sharpen the realization of the existence of the true God. Those voices sent to us had to become flesh, so that with our earthly ears we should be able to hear and understand.
Those who read their Bible with “peeled eyes” will find in almost every line some revelation. But it takes long life, suffering or some sudden event to tear all at once the veil from our eyes, so that we can truly see….
Sorrow and suffering are the surest and also the most common instructors, the straightest channel to God—that is to say, to that inner something within each of us which is God.
Happiness beyond all understanding comes with this revelation that God is within us, if we will but listen to His voice. We need not seek Him in the clouds. He is the All-Father whence we came and to whom we shall return when, having done with this earthly body, we pass onward.
If I have repeated myself, forgive me. There are so many ways of saying things, but what is important is the truth which lies in all the many ways of expressing it”. (From the Philadelphia “Evening Bulletin,” Monday, September 27, 1926).
