"Quando a mente se aquieta, tudo fica bom. Assim, quando Deus quer, ele

de braços abertos. O que ocorre é que o ser humano ainda não aprendeu a
usar esse instrumento que lhe foi dado, esse grande poder que é a
mente."

“Cuando la mente se calma, todo está bien. Así, cuando Dios quiere, él
te agarra. Pero yo descubrí que Dios siempre quiere agarrarte; él está
siempre con los brazos abiertos. Lo que ocurre es que el ser humano aún
no aprendió a utilizar este instrumento que se le dio, este gran poder
que es la mente”
“Once the mind quiets down, all is well, and when God sees fit, God catches a hold of us. I have discovered that God’s arms are always wide open, waiting to catch us. But human beings have not yet learned how to properly use this powerful instrument of the mind, making it still so God may take us…”

Today's Daily Dharma: The Fact of Suffering
The Fact of Suffering
The
Four Noble Truths are grounded in the fact of suffering. People might
think that's negative, but it's only the truth. It's our human
condition. So Buddhism has us just look at it nakedly. Look and ask
yourself, 'What is this? What am I?'
