Agricultural science began with Gregor Mendel's genetic work, but in modern terms might be better dated from the chemical fertilizer outputs of plant physiological understanding in 18th-century Germany.	Sayansi ya kilimo ulianzishwa na Gregor Mendel alipokuwa akifanya utafiti wa maumbile. Lakini, kwa sasa, unalinganika vyema na karne ya 18, wakati ufahamu wa kisaikolojia ya mimea ulitoa mbolea za kemikali, huko Ujerumani.
[citation needed] In the United States, a scientific revolution in agriculture began with the Hatch Act of 1887, which used the term "agricultural science".	[maelezo] Huko Marekani, mapinduzi ya kisayansi katika ukulima ulianza na sheria ya Hatch ya 1887, ambapo neno "sayansi ya kilimo" ilitumika.
The Hatch Act was driven by farmers' interest in knowing the constituents of early artificial fertilizer.	Sheria ya Hatch ilishinikizwa na masilahi ya wakulima ya kujua viunganishi vya mbolea bandia za awali.
The Smith-Hughes Act of 1917 shifted agricultural education back to its vocational roots, but the scientific foundation had been built.	Sheria ya Smith-Hughes ya 1917 ilirudisha elimu ya ukulima katika mizizi ya ufundi, ingawaje misingi ya kisayansi tayari ilikuwepo.
[2] After 1906, public expenditures on agricultural research in the US exceeded private expenditures for the next 44 years.	[2] Huko Marekani, baada ya 1906, kwa miaka 44 iliyofuata, matumizi ya umma katika utafiti wa kilimo ulizidi matumizi binafsi.

God is a mystery that is experienced best when enlightened.	Mungu ni siri ambayo hushuhudiwa vyema wakati unaangaziwa.
We can only say that it is good to live in God.	Tunaweza sema kuwa ni vyema kuishi indani ya Mungu.
It is better to be enlightened than not enlightened.	Ni bora uwe umeangaziwa kuliko kuwa hujaangaziwa.
Enlightenment is the deeper purpose of life.	Kupata mwangaza ndio sababu kuu ya uhai.
Through enlightenment, we reach the kingdom of God.	Kupitia mwangaza, tunafika ufalme wa Mungu.
Enlightenment means inner peace, inner happiness and all-encompassing love for all beings.	Kupata mwangaza kunamaanisha amani ya ndani, furaha ya ndani na upendo wa aina yoyote kwa wanadamu wote.
An enlightened person lives in God.	Mtu aliye angaziwa huishi ndani ya Mungu.
He or she sees God as a kind of light in the world.	Yeye humuona Mungu kama mwangaza duniani.
He or she feels God in him or herself and around him or herself.	Yeye humhisi Mungu ndani na kando yake.
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.	Yeye humhisi Mungu kama raha, amani na uguvu ya ndani na anafahamu kuwa yuko ndani ya ukweli wa hali ya juu ambayo unaweza elezeka kama upendo wa uzima.
In each of the major religions, there are varied definitions of God.	Katika dini zozote kuu, kuna maelezo tofauti tofauti ya Mungu.
In the religions we also find the personal and abstract term of God.	Pia katika dini, tunapata majina binafsi na ya umma ya Mungu.
Many enlightened mystics think of God as a person and some others as a higher dimension in the cosmos.	Waumini wengi humwaza Mungu kama mtu wa kawaida, na wengine kama kiumbe kisichoeleweka.
In Buddhism and in Hinduism the abstract term of God dominates.	Kwa Wabuddhi na wahindi, majina tofauti ya Mungu hupatikana sana.
In Buddhism, the highest principle is called Nirvana and in Hinduism it’s called Brahman.	Kwa Wabuddhi, jina kuu ni Nirvana na kwa Kihindi, huitwa Brahman.
Jesus referred to God as father.	Yesu alimtambua Mungu kama baba.
Moses referred to God more in an abstract fashion.	Musa alimuita Mungu kwa majina tofauti tofauti.
His central definition of God was described with the words “I am.”	Jina kamili la Mungu lililoeleza kutumia neno "mimi ndimi."
These words refer to God as a happy state of being where one experiences enlightenment.	maneno haya yanamlinganisha Mungu na hali ya kufurahi ambako yeyote huhisi kuangaziwa.
In the words “I am” we find the main way to enlightenment.	Kwa maneno "mimi ndimi"tunapata njia kuu ya kupata mwangaza!!!
People need to develop a cosmic consciousness, a consciousness of the unity of all things.	Watu wanapaswa kukuza ufahamu wa vitu vyote, ufahamu wa umoja wavitu vyote.
Thus the ego consciousness is lost.	Hivyo basi ufahamu wa kiburi umepotea
Then one experiences pure consciousness, is one with everything and can only say: “I am.”	Halafu mtu huhisi ufahamu safi, ulio na vyote na unaweza sema "mimi" pekee.
He or she cannot say “I am so and so.”	Yeye hawezi tamka "mimi ni huyu na huyu."
He or she identifies with everything and everyone and is personally nothing and is simply consciousness.	Yeye hujitambulisha na kila kitu na kila mtu, na yeye ni bure kivyake, na ni ufahamu tu.
God as a being who can take action helps us along the spiritual way.	Mungu ni kiumbe anayeweza chukua hatua kutusaidia katika njia ya kiriho.
All enlightened beings are an incarnation of God.	Viumbe vyote vilivyoangaziwa ni mwili wake Mungu.
If you connect with God or an enlightened being daily, you will be lead in the light.	ukitutana na Mungu au kiumbe kilichoangazika, utakuwa kiongozi ndani ya mwangaza.
