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 DassIf we can give up attachment to our roles as helpers, then maybe our clients can give up attachment to their roles as patients and we can meet as fellow souls on this incredible journey. We can fulfill the duties of our roles without being trapped by over-identifica tion with them.
Ram DassReligions are founded by what mystics say when they come back; but what the mystics say is not the same as what happened to them.
Ram DassYou're afraid, you will just keep making the fear. If you want to change it, you change from your soul.
