Via Sri Prem Baba: Flor do dia -Flor del día - Flower of the day 16/02/2016
“Quando falo do ‘caminho da autorrealização’, em outras palavras, estou
me referindo ao processo de desvendar do Amor. Esse processo envolve,
inevitavelmente, o perdão. Isso significa que precisamos nos libertar de
toda discórdia, ódio e pactos de vingança. Por isso tenho te inspirado a
identificar e encarar as suas contas abertas com o passado, pois são
elas que te mantém com o coração fechado, sem poder manifestar sua verdadeira natureza: o Amor.”

"When I speak of the path of self-realization, I am referring to the process of unveiling love. Inevitably, this process involves forgiveness. We need to free ourselves of all discord, hatred and pacts of revenge. We must identify and address our open accounts with the past, for they make us keep our hearts closed and unable to express our true nature, which is love."

Via Daily Dharma: Great Determination
When
the great root of faith and the great ball of doubt are present, great
determination will arise. Great determination is a strong resolve that
wells up from the bottom of our gut and spurs us on.
