Via Sri Prem Baba: Flor do dia - Flor del día - Flower of the day - 08/03/2016
“Ninguém quer sentir dor, mas às vezes é necessário abrir mão dos
anestésicos e amortecedores para poder encará-la de frente. É preciso
ter coragem de lidar com a frustração daquilo que, por alguma razão,
você evita entrar em contato. Quando umarepetição negativa se torna
insistente na sua vida, quer dizer que ela quer te ensinar algo que você
se recusa a aprender. Nesse momento, pare e pergunte: O que você quer
me ensinar? O queeu preciso aprender? Assim, aos poucos, você vai dando passagem para as revelações da sua alma."
“Nadie quiere sentir dolor, pero a veces es necesario soltar los
anestésicos y amortiguadores para poder encararlo de frente. Es
necesario tener coraje para lidiar con la frustración de aquello que,
por alguna razón, evitas entrar en contacto. Cuando una repetición
negativa se vuelve insistente en tu vida, quiere decir que quiere
enseñarte algo que te rehusas a aprender. En ese momento, detente y
pregunta: ¿Qué quieres enseñarme? ¿Qué necesito aprender? Así, de a
poco, vas dando paso a las revelaciones de tu alma.”
"No one wants to feel pain, but sometimes it’s necessary to let go of our numbing devices and shock absorbers in order to face our pain face to face. It takes courage to deal with the frustration of what we avoid getting in touch with for onereason or another. When a negative repetition becomes persistent in our lives, it is wanting to teach us something that we are refusing to learn. In such cases, we must stop and ask: ‘What do you want to teach me? What do I need to learn?’Thus, we gradually make way for our soul’s revelations.”

Via Daily Dharma: Meditation and the Malleable Self
The
self is plastic, a malleable clay being molded each moment by
intention. Just as our scientists are discovering not only how the mind
is shaped by the brain but now, too, how the brain is shaped by the
mind, so the Buddha described long ago the interdependent process by
which intentions are conditioned by dispositions and dispositions in
turn are conditioned by intentions.
