When you look back at your own life, you see ... the sufferings you went through, each time you would have avoided it if you possibly could. And yet, when you look at the depth of your character now, isn't a part of that a product of those experiences? Weren't those experiences part of what created the depth of your inner being?
Ram DassThe way we regard death is critical to the way we experience life. When your fear of death changes, the way you live your life changes.
Ram DassIf I go into the place in myself that is love, and you go into the place in yourself that is love, we are together in love. Then you and I are truly in love, the state of being love. That's the entrance to Oneness.
Ram DassSouls love. Thatโs what souls do. Egos donโt, but souls do. Become a soul, look around, and youโll be amazed-all the beings around you are souls. Be one, see one. When many people have this heart connection, then we will know that we are all one, we human beings all over the planet. We will be one. One love. And donโt leave out the animals, and trees, and clouds, and galaxies-itโs all one. Itโs one energy.
