“A mente envolve o raciocínio, a lógica, a inteligência, a
criatividade... Porém, esses atributos da mente precisam estar a serviço
do Ser. Para isso, se faz necessário disciplina e constante renovação
de votos, porque a mente tornou-se condicionada por fatores sociais,
culturais e morais. Muitas vezes você não tem a menor noção do por que
sente apego ou aversão por determinadas coisas, porque acha uma coisa
feia ou bonita, porque sente atração ou
rejeição por alguém. A mente condicionada julga, classifica e discrimina
de acordo com um repertório que você não sabe de onde vem.”

"The mind involves reasoning, logic, intelligence and creativity, and these attributes of the mind must be at the service of the Being. We need much discipline and a constant renewal of vows to channel these attributes appropriately. The mind has become conditioned by many social, cultural and moral factors, and we often don’t have a clue as to why we feel an attachment or an aversion towards certain things. We don't know why we think something is ugly or beautiful, or why we feel attracted to or repulsed by someone. The conditioned mind judges, classifies and discriminates according to a catalog whose origin we are often entirely unaware of.”
