Via Sri Prem Baba: Flor do dia - Flor del día - Flower of the day - 21/01/2016
“A natureza inferior é reencarnante. Alguns aspectos do eu inferior são
como entidades que nos acompanham há milênios. Aspectos do orgulho, da
luxúria, do medo, que se tornaram especialistas em manter-se vivos, e
por conta da lei do karma, seguem nos acompanhando. Quando tem a chance
de disparar uma flecha na direção dessas entidades, você pensa: ‘Poderei
viver sem meu orgulho? Sem minha luxúria?’ Isso porque você acredita
que elas te dão algum poder, e para manter esse suposto poder você faz
um contrato com a maldade. E para rasgar esse contrato é preciso
aprender a lidar com resistências.”
“La naturaleza inferior es re-encarnante. Algunos aspectos del yo
inferior son como entidades que nos acompañan desde hace milenios.
Aspectos del orgullo, de la lujuria, del miedo, que se tornaron
especialistas en mantenerse vivos, y por cuenta de la ley del karma,
siguen acompañándonos. Cuando tienes la oportunidad de disparar una
flecha en dirección de estas entidades, piensas: '¿Podré vivir sin mi
orgullo? ¿Sin mi lujuria?' Eso es porque crees que te dan algún poder, y
para mantener este supuesto poder haces un contrato con la maldad. Y
para romper este contrato es necesario aprender a lidiar con
resistencias.”
"The lower self is reborn throughout many incarnations. Some aspects of the lower self are like entities that accompany us for millennia. There are aspects of pride, lust and fear that have become true survival experts, and due to the law of karma, have continued to accompany us throughout our lives. When we finally ‘shoot an arrow’ at these entities, we start to hesitate and ask, ‘Can I even survive without my pride and my lust?’ We doubt ourselves because we believe that they give us some power, and in order to maintain this supposed power we subconsciously make a ‘pact’ with evil. We will need to deal with much internal resistance before we can finally tear up this pact.”

Via Daily Dharma: City Living
Living
in a big city, sometimes we feel that we don’t know our neighbors but
actually we know them well. They want pleasure and don’t want pain. This
realization of similarity is not superficial; to know that each of us
has hairs in the nose means we can always know something about others by
reflecting on that fact.
