Flower of the Day: 11/15/14

“The process of transformation includes going beyond the shame of admitting our imperfections and even our negatively oriented pleasure. In other words, it involves being able to see how much we are insisting on a negative repetition only to get some pleasure out of it. Once we see this, we begin a deep process of transforming the personality’s structure, which is not so easy. Some people may feel like they’re walking backwards, but really it's that they are now starting to become aware of the games of the lower self. Beforehand, they weren’t visible since we were numb. We begin to see that the other is not responsible for our suffering, because he or she cannot hurt us without our permission.”

Sri Prem Baba
