If you would truly bring peace to the world, identify with that place within you where you are Peace.
Ram DassThe universe is made up of experiences that are designed to burn out your attachment, your clinging, to pleasure, to pain, to fear, to all of it. And as long as there is a place where youโre vulnerable, the universe will find a way to confront you with it.
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 DassThe richness of a moment comes when it's both full and empty at the same time. The truth is, we live simultaneously in time and timelessness.
Ram DassCompassion is the basis of all truthful relationship: it means being present with love-for ourselves and for all life, including animals, fish, birds, and trees. Compassion is bringing our deepest truth into our actions, no matter how much the world seems to resist, because that is ultimately what we have to give this world and one another.
