In India when we meet and part we often say, "Namaste," which means: I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides; I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides; I honor the place in you of love, of light, of truth, of peace. I honor the place within you where if you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us๏ฟฝ.. "Namaste."
Ram DassI help people as a way to work on myself, and I work on myself to help people... To me, that's what the emerging game is all about.
Ram DassAll that you seek is already within you. In Hinduism it is called the Atman, in Buddhism the pure Buddha-Mind. Christ said, 'the kingdom of heaven is within you.' Quakers call it the โstill small voice within.โ This is the space of full awareness that is in harmony with all the universe, and thus is wisdom itself.
Ram DassWhat we're seeing "out there" is the projection of where we're at--the projection of the clingings of our minds.
Ram DassSo many times each day we support each other informally without ever becoming 'helper' or 'helped.' Perhaps we're finding an article of clothing for a partner, cutting bread for one of the children, collecting the mail for the person at the next desk, holding the coat for someone at a restaurant.
