Via Sri Prem Baba: Flor do Dia- Flor del Día - Flower of the Day 15/07/2015
“A mentira é o aspecto mais sutil do eu inferior. No núcleo central da
mentira está a ideia da vítima, pois ela faz a entidade acreditar estar
sozinha e isolada. Essa camada do véu de ilusão produz a ideia de eu e
meu. E a partir daí nasce a carência, com todos os seus incontáveis
desdobramentos.”

“Deceit is the most subtle aspect of the lower self. At the center of
deceit is the idea of the victim, which makes human beings believe that
they are alone and isolated. This layer of the veil produces the idea of
‘me’ and ‘mine’. From here, neediness is born, along with all its other
countless unfoldings.”
Today's Daily Dharma: Accepting Groundlessness
Accepting Groundlessness
I
see that a lot of us are just running around in circles pretending that
there's ground where there actually isn't any ground. And that somehow,
if we could learn to not be afraid of groundlessness, not be afraid of
insecurity and uncertainty, it would be calling on an inner strength
that would allow us to be open and free and loving and compassionate in
any situation.
