In relationships, when the other person doesn’t fit into your model of how heaven would be, you don’t have to play God. You just have to love individual differences and appreciate the way they are. Because as Maharaj-Ji said to me, “Love is the most powerful medicine.”
Via Sri Prem Baba: Flor do dia - Flor del día - Flower of the day 21/02/2016
“Quando não ocupa o seu corpo e se deixa ser conduzido por impulsos
inconscientes, você perde o domínio sobre a rota da jornada evolutiva.
Esses impulsos se utilizam dos seus pensamentos, palavras e ações para
conduzi-lo ao fracasso. Isso ocorre porque eles são oriundos daquilo que
conhecemos como ‘sombra’; um ‘lugar’ na consciência (inconsciência)
onde escondemos tudo o que julgamos como maldade. E sendo conduzido por
tais impulsos, você se sente indefeso e fragilizado - uma vítima do
destino. Mas isso que você chama de ‘destino’ é apenas um produto da
falta de presença. Lembre-se de que você mesmo está se colocando nessa
situação e trate de ocupar o seu veículo.”

"When we don’t occupy our bodies and we allow ourselves to be driven by unconscious impulses, we lose our grip on directing our evolutionary journey. These impulses use our thoughts, words and actions to steer us towards failure. This is because they come from what we know as 'shadow,' a 'place' in our unconsciousness where we hid everything we judge as evil. And being led by such impulses, we feel like helpless and frail victims of fate. But what we often call 'destiny' is actually just a product of the lack of presence. Remember that you are the one putting yourself in this situation; go back to occupying your vehicle.”

Via Daily Dharma: The Most Important Thing in the World
No
matter how humble the activity—whether it be walking, sitting, eating,
or washing the dishes—one approaches it with mindfulness, acting, and
listening egolessly as if it might be the most important thing in the
world, for indeed all that is, has been, and will be is contained in the
present moment.
