Via Sri Prem Baba: Flor do dia - Flor del día - Flower of the day - 09/06/2016

“Nosso grande desafio é superar nossas contradições, pois elas são a fonte do sofrimento. O sofrimento nasce justamente pelo fato de existirem duas forças opostas atuando dentro de nós. Dentro de você, um eu quer a família e outro eu quer ficar sozinho. Um eu quer ir para a esquerda e o outro quer ir para a direita. Essa divisão gera um cabo de força, que gera tensão, gera stress e desdobramentos de sofrimento. Quanto maior a contradição, maior o sofrimento.”

“Nuestro gran desafío es superar nuestras contradicciones, puesellas son la fuente del sufrimiento. El sufrimiento nacejustamente por el hechode existir dos fuerzas opuestas actuando dentro de nosotros. Dentro de ti, un yoquierela familia y otro yoquiere estar solo. Un yo quiere ir hacia la izquierda y el otro quiere ir a la derecha. Esta división genera un tira y afloje, que genera tensión, genera estrés y desdoblamientos de sufrimiento. Cuanto mayor La contradicción, mayor el sufrimiento.”

“Our greatest challenge is to go beyond our contradictions as they are the source of suffering. Suffering is born out of the fact that there are two opposing forces acting inside of us. There is a part of us that wants a family and another part of us that wants to be single. There is a self that wants to go to the left and another self that wants to go the right. This division creates a tug-of-war within us, generating tension, stress and all other kinds of suffering. The greater the contradiction, the greater the suffering.”

Via Daily Dharma / June 9, 2016: Empowered Practice

We call this mindful choice in action: our deeds and words should be in line with ultimate reality. We call this well-balanced and perfect practice. If you only understand ultimate reality but cannot use it in your daily life, your practice is not well balanced; it is not empowered.
