Thanks! Obrigado, Robert! A princípio, mantenho minha sugestão então.
airmailrpl (asker) Sep 6, 2016:
Mais contexto.. ...objectives can be achieved only when spiritual disciplines such as prayer, meditation, fasting and bringing oneself to account each day are put into effect and the bounties of God are received.
Matheus Chaud Sep 6, 2016:
Mais contexto Tem como colocar um pouquinho mais da frase, Robert? O trecho que está aí ou está incompleto ou está errado gramaticalmente:

and bringing oneself to account each day is put into effect

(a menos que haja algo mais antes, que justifique o are).

English term (edited): bringing oneself to account each day
Selected

fazer uma autoavaliação a cada dia


Acredito que bring oneself to account seja fazer uma avaliação de si mesmo, ou seja, uma autoavaliação:

“Bring thyself to account each day”
Baha’u’llah, The Hidden Words

“Let each morn be better than its eve and each morrow richer than its yesterday”
Baha’u’llah, Tablet of Wisdom

We are exhorted to a systematic endeavor to improve ourselves, to grow spiritually, through a process of daily action and reflection. In fact, “to stop advancing is the means of going back”, so if we don’t make a conscious effort for each day to be better than the day before, it will actually be worse! The question is, how do we measure if today was better than yesterday?
