| God is a mystery that is experienced best when enlightened. |
Iccitiin Waaqayyoo kan baramu yeroo namaaf ifu dha. |
| We can only say that it is good to live in God. |
Waaqayyo keessa jiraachuun gaariidha qofaa jechuu dandeenya. |
| It is better to be enlightened than not enlightened. |
namaaf ifuu dhiisuu mannaa namaaf ifuun gaariidha. |
| Enlightenment is the deeper purpose of life. |
Qaroominni kaayyoo jireenyaa isa gadi fagoodha. |
| Through enlightenment, we reach the kingdom of God. |
Karaa qaroominaa, gara mootummaa Waaqayyootti dhi'aachuu dandeenya. |
| Enlightenment means inner peace, inner happiness and all-encompassing love for all beings. |
Qaroomuu jechuun nagaa keessa ofii, gammachuu keessoo fi hundumaa kan hammatu jaalala umama hundaatiif. |
| An enlightened person lives in God. |
Namni qaroome Waaqayyo keessa jiraata. |
| He or she sees God as a kind of light in the world. |
Inni yookaan isheen Waaqayyoon akka ifa biyya lafaatti ilaala/ti. |
| He or she feels God in him or herself and around him or herself. |
inni yookaan isheen Waaqayyoon keessaa isaa yookaan isheetti fi naannoo isaa yookaan isheetti itti dhagahama. |
| He or she feels God as inner happiness, inner peace and inner strength and is aware that he or she is in a higher truth that can only be described as universal love. |
inni yookaan isheen Waaqayyoon akka gammachuu keessaa, nagaa keessaa fi humna keessaa fi dhugaa cimaa kan waaltawaa jaalala jedhamuu keessa akka jiru yookaan jirtu ni beeka yookaan beekti. |
| In each of the major religions, there are varied definitions of God. |
Amantaalee beekamoo ta'an hunda keessatti, hiikaan Waaqaaf kennamu addaa adda. |
| In the religions we also find the personal and abstract term of God. |
Amantaa keessatti waa'ee Waaqayyoo kan dhuunfaa fi wal-xaxaa yeroo ta'u argina. |
| Many enlightened mystics think of God as a person and some others as a higher dimension in the cosmos. |
Namootni waa'een Waaqayyoo galeef Waaqayyoon akka namaatti fi kaan immoo akka hamamta olaanaa samii kana keessaatti yaadu. |
| In Buddhism and in Hinduism the abstract term of God dominates. |
Budiizimii fi Hinduzimii keessatti hiikaan wal-xaxaa waa'ee Waaqayyoo caalee argama. |
| In Buddhism, the highest principle is called Nirvana and in Hinduism it’s called Brahman. |
Budizimii keessatti, qajeelfamni olaanaan Niirvaanaa jedhama kan Hinduzimii immoo Braahmaan. |
| Jesus referred to God as father. |
Yesuus Waaqayyoon akka abbaatti waame. |
| Moses referred to God more in an abstract fashion. |
Museen Waaqayyoon haala wal-xaxaa ta'een ibse. |
| His central definition of God was described with the words “I am.” |
Giddu-galli dubbii isaatii Waaqayyoon jechi inni itti ibse "Ana" kan jedhudha. |
| These words refer to God as a happy state of being where one experiences enlightenment. |
Jechootni kunneen Waaqayyoon akka haala irratti isaan gammachiise isaaniif galeen. |
| In the words “I am” we find the main way to enlightenment. |
Jecha "Ana" jedhu keessatti karaa guddaa gara qaroominaa argina. |
| People need to develop a cosmic consciousness, a consciousness of the unity of all things. |
Namootni hubannoo olaanaa dammaqiinsa guddisuu qabu, kan tokkummaa dammaqiinsa waan hundumaa. |
| Thus the ego consciousness is lost. |
Anummaan dammaqiinsaa kan ittiin badu. |
| Then one experiences pure consciousness, is one with everything and can only say: “I am.” |
Yeroo kana ta'u namni tokko dammaqiinsa taliila dhandhamataa, kan waan hundumaa waliini fi "Ana" kan jechuu danda'u. |
| He or she cannot say “I am so and so.” |
"Ani akkana fi akkasi" jechuu hin danda'u yookaan hin dandeessu. |
| He or she identifies with everything and everyone and is personally nothing and is simply consciousness. |
Waan hundumaa fi nama hundumaa waliin adda baasa yookaan baafti dhuunfaatti homaa tokko fi salphaatti dammaquu. |
| God as a being who can take action helps us along the spiritual way. |
Waaqayyo akka waanta gochaa hafuuraa keessatti nu gargaaruutti. |
| All enlightened beings are an incarnation of God. |
Waa'een Waaqayyoo kan galeef hundinuu akka waan Waaqayyoo foon namaa uffatee deddeebi'uuti. |
| If you connect with God or an enlightened being daily, you will be lead in the light. |
Waaqayyo waliin yoo wal-quunnamte yookaan siif gale guyyaa gara guyyaatti, ifa keessa in deddeebita. |
