Pāli Word a Day for May 11, 2019 — anāghāta — freedom from anger or ill-will

Chandā dosā bhayā mohā,
Yo dhammaṃ ativattati,
Nihīyati yaso tassa
Kāḷapakkheva candimā.

Chandā dosā bhayā mohā,
Yo dhammaṃ nātivattati,
Āpūrati yaso tassa
Sukkapakkheva candimā.

Whoever through desire, hate or fear,
Or ignorance should transgress the Dhamma,
All one’s glory fades away
Like the moon during the waning half.

Whoever through desire, hate or fear,
Or ignorance never transgresses the Dhamma,
All one’s glory ever increases
Like the moon during the waxing half.

Dīgha Nikāya 3.246
Everyman’s Ethics: Four Discourses by the Buddha (WH 14), translated by Narada Thera

You’re about to overcome something you’ve been dealing with. Your mind and heart will soon be at peace again. The weight is being lifted off of you right now. Breathe through it. Be patient about it. Trust that you will make it. Everything will be okay.

You deserve inner peace. Allow it. You deserve mental clarity. Welcome it. Allow yourself to receive by completely surrendering instead of resisting. There’s times things get hard, but that doesn’t mean you need to stay stuck on it. Be hopeful that things can change for you. Don’t be hard on yourself as you are transforming and getting better. You don’t need to judge yourself for past mistakes. You don’t need to feel guilty about what went wrong. All that is gone. Now is the time to start embracing yourself. The more patient, loving, and understanding you are with yourself, the more you can enter the next phase of your growth with ease. Trust that everything will work itself out. You don’t have to carry that burden of stressing the how and when. All you need to do is believe and trust that it will.

Things are about to get very clear for you. Something you’ve been praying, visualizing, and hoping for is about to happen for you. You’re about to overcome something you’ve been dealing with. Your mind and heart will soon be at peace again. The weight is being lifted off of you right now. Breathe. Be patient. You’re healing. You’ve had enough lessons and it’s time for you to start receiving. The universe is getting ready to make a delivery in your life. In the meantime, celebrate and smile like you’ve already received the best gifts. Own the vibration and feeling by reminding yourself that you can get through this and that you will receive greater blessings. Hold on tight because a flood of opportunities, new connections, great news, and new energy is about to enter your life.

“Whether you are attempting to control your mind, prevent it from going out of control, or assume it must be micro-managed, it all stems from a belief that your mind is something other than the Universe in form. Perhaps it is a belief that your mind is other than the Universe that causes it to act out to offer you evidence of it being whatever you conclude about it. Even on a deeper level, once you affirm your mind to be the highest expression of all that is and could only be the Universe playing in form, the Universe dwelling within you comes alive to transform your mind into the truth it’s always been. This reminds you how it’s not a matter of changing how your mind functions or trying to wrestle it for control of the content being imagined. Instead, it is learning how to unravel any belief of your mind being anything other than the will of the Universe that transforms reality from the inside out and returns your innocence to the light of your highest authority. This is the heart of devotion.”

Today is not the day to be strutting your stuff; no showboating is in order. Check any grandiose behavior at the door and go quietly about your business. Don’t be a drama llama and don’t be sharing the private details of your life on social media. This is not meant in a negative way, rather…
